For me it’s the thought that it’s somewhat probable that a future presidency is going to use that as a harassment / culling list

        I’m sorry you feel this way and I’m sorry things are rough for you and others.

        I do an honest painstaking attempt to fulfill my civic duties, as I understand them. The most important one of these is to attempt to deactivate the dehumanization and polarization that, the way I see it, is the root cause of the collapse of our civilization.

        Psychos and dick bags will always have an advantage regarding securing power, whatever color they paint themselves in. What people that have moral concerns and care and want to see a better life for us all, as I’m sure you do, can do to this effect is to stop feeding the monsters. Not fall in their divisive hate speech, to not look at our fellow humans as if they have no soul because they were inoculated by a different mind virus than our own.

        You see right wing vs left wing or maybe rich vs poor. I see healthy people and sick people. The sick spread their disease of hate, fear and dehumanization so others follow in their suit and they can get what their sick hearts desire… and many do, but the problem was never the people, it’s the disease.

        I’m a human too, btw, and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some of your posts somewhere and iirc you seemed witty and well intended. I’m tempted to look at your post history now, but I’ll do it after I finish my reply now lol.

        Anyway, please don’t drink the poison. There’s love and care, wonder and beautiful things in your heart you may offer all, if you wanted to.

        And the most miserable of men, those who have taken and harmed their way through this world in hopes of getting rid of the seething pain of a utilitarian, loveless existence where people are all instruments, maybe they will some day see people like us just being happy and kind to each other with basically nothing in our hands, and they might never admit it, but in the bottom of their minds they’ll know they’ve been missing out and have wasted their entire lives.

        I hope you can see what I’m getting at, and if you think I’m deluded I can’t blame you at all. I probably am, too, but gotta believe in something, you know?

            I mean I get what you’re saying. You want a revolution? Go nuts. Just don’t come whining to me when it gets cooped by the same people or the same degree of scumbags that caused it.

            The problem was never about what we or others have or don’t have in the external word… I would expect a firewitch to understand this

          Friendly reminder that many small local positions on the ballot, as well as ballot measures, are both not as vehemently partisan and extremely important for influencing policy for your immediate community. Even if you don’t like or want to participate in federal level politics, this is not a great reason to not vote for anything at any level.

      Best start believing. Politics directly affects literally every single aspect of your day-to-day life whether you believe in it or not.

        He has a right to an opinion. Modern day politics is just catering services to the Epstein class or sociopathic class.

          We’d do the same for anyone claiming they don’t believe the earth is round, or that vaccines kill.

          Sure, they can have their opinion, but we aren’t going to reinforce the delusion.

            Maybe I should have been clearer. I don’t believe my own political efforts have any power to change anything.

            How much mental energy do you spend in political thought and how has the payoff for this expenditure been, under your own terms?

            Cause to keep investing huge amounts of emotional energy in something you have no meaningful effect over with nothing to show… kinda sounds deluded to me

            Take a look around you and reflect. Politics and policies are mostly for the rich. Look at crimes and their “punishments” there are so many crimes literally just for poor people. You live in a broken world made for the upper class. You are nothing more than sheep for the sociopathic class.

              The system works but only when people participate. When it feels like it isn’t working, it’s because there aren’t enough people working it. All the uninterested and hopeless carry enough weight to tip the scales, and until they start getting involved, they are all sitting on the side of letting the people who fucked it up keep on fucking it up more.

                No that’s bullshit. Capitalism creates a power dynamic that capitalists can take advantage of turning everyone into sheep end of discussion. You know why a child rapist can be elected president twice? Because of that exact power dynamic.

                  And just think what would have happened if only 10% of the people who decided that they didn’t have time to vote against fascist pedophiles had actually shown up.

                  He would have been one and done. He only won by about 1% more votes. About a third of registered voters didn’t vote.

                    Who gives a fuck about the election? If it was me or you we would be in jail. JAIL J-A-I-L. He’s walking away with the rest of the Epstein class. After being a known serial child rapist. Elon Musk is also scott free after being a serial rapist. The system is designed for the sociopath class and politics is a catering service for them. Look at oil and gas an entire industry gets away with mass murder and causing how many diseases? Now they’re untouchable in how many court rooms? Leaded gasoline caused how many defects and diseases? Nobody gives a shit about that.
