    This is again another type of programing. People arent an engineering problem. Politics will never be removed from emotion.

    I’ve told my solution but you instead want a silver bullet. Everyone wants a silver bullet. The silver bullet doesn’t exist and will never come.

    We need to build our communities stronger, and need to stop being divided by people with obscene wealth; the people with something to lose if we do just that. Thats what will get us to the next obstacle.

    Instead you will wait around for a charismatic leader with the answer to all your problems. Who has come to save us all.

      You haven’t though, just said some vague phrases and hinted that if everyone else just thought like you the problem would resolve itself.

        Know how I know you are completely fucked in the head? You think you can fustrate me more than I am already frustrated with the current state of things. We are rock bottom. There is one way out. If you want to stay in the mouse trap you are going to stay in the mouse trap. Nothing I say or do will lead you out.

          We are at rock bottom.

              Again that’s a nice sounding statement that means nothing.

              I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

              Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

                99% of social media doesn’t mean anything, it is people attempting to influence you in the easiest way possible. Sure if 80% slip through the cracks who cares but the 20% represents millions. Turn it off. Build strong bonds with your community and kick anyone to the curb that says things should stay the same.

                  I think you meant to reply to a different comment or this is all non-sequitors and you’re replying to things I didn’t say.

                    I don’t need to argue with you. End of story. Stop thinking of me as someone who will be influenced by your words. Start understanding that no matter if the ideas inside your head are brilliant or ill founded they have no impact on the void of social media. Social media isn’t for individuals to influence each other. It is for collectives to influence individuals. If you would only look you would realize youre doing the work for them.

      I am asking for solutions, not some perfect leader. We have seen how leftist ideas of charismatic leaders go, and I don’t want another Lenin, Stalin, or Kim Jong Un. The fact that you jump to the conclusion that solutions = charismatic leader tells me a lot about how you think about politics. Believe it or not not all ideas, systems, and solutions come from the same person. Science isn’t a cult of Sir Isaac Newton so why should politics be this way? Heck why do we even have a single powerful position like President or Prime Minister or King?

      Also no you haven’t provided any solutions. All you have done is provide excuses as to why you do not need any. I am not asking for a magic bullet here. I understand that real life systems are necessarily complex and multi-faecited. That’s why having a single leader or person in charge isn’t a smart idea. You can’t ask a single human to have a grasp on the whole of society and all its problems, performance metrics, or trade-offs.

        I haven’t provided the solution. Get fucked. HUMANITY hasn’t provided the solution, and it wont! Because if the goal is to have us both walk 100 miles that way and you won’t get off your ass until you think of some shit way to do it, it doesn’t matter if I ride a fucking dinosaur to Timbukto. Short of knocking you on your ass and carrying you there, I can do nothing for the cause.

          Are you okay? How is this in anyway a response to what I have said. You are just being rude, and acting like a troll.

            Your programming told you to exact a thought terminating quip because I challenged your paper thin grasp on reality. Next you will seek affirmation.

              Not at all. You haven’t demonstrated you have any grasp on reality. All you’ve proven is you aren’t willing to behave rationally and are probably insane.

              Next you will seek affirmation.

              Why would I seek affirmation from someone who is nuts?
