I never thought I would see a party that used to claim to be "For Law and Order" openly criticize and attack Judges in the Federal Judiciary. It sickens and saddens me. I've always loved the law and learning about the law and the US Constitution. None of the GOP speaks out against it. Just like a cult.

I was a political activist in my late 20s into my 30s. Always had libertarian leanings on social issues but I was on the right. For me, a lot of stuff went out the window during the first Trump term and then COVID, the poor way things were handled and the utter incompetence of the first Trump administration.

Also I saw how bad the US healthcare system was in real time compared to other countries, something I used to defend. Then Anti-vaxxers and people spreading misinformation online and conspiracy theories. Then after the 20 elections, lies about the election being stolen and then Jan 6. Jan 6 I was like " I'm done".

I wonder if all of the animals, plants and insects will rise up against the humans one day. With just a tiny tweak of evolution.

If I was in high school right now.
Virtue signaling left wing: Math is racist and sexist!
Maga right wing: Math is woke DEI!

Me: Will you two SHUT UP! I'm trying to study for my Algebra test!

So many years. So many decades. So many centuries.

And yet a sizable chunk of the world's population still refuses to move past the point of finding the suffering of dehumanized individuals too hilarious to take it seriously.

There's nothing more ironic than an atheist who believes Israel was promised to god's chosen people by god.

Centrist Libs: Neo-liberalism is failing and deeply unpopular. Let's nominate the guy who wants to do neo-liberalism harder, that's guaranteed to win us elections.

A few weeks after the election: Our enlightened centrist campaign has failed, we need more neo-liberalism and more condescending enlightened centrist talking attacks on our party's left-leaning base. That's guaranteed to win us elections.

Lil X is Elon's life insurance.
JD Vance is Donnie's life insurance.

A good portion of my inner self preservation is basically "if all you have is a hammer"...
.. My own hammer back then was pride and anger of many forms.


How could I?
I've been chronically frustrated for "no apparent reason".

No amount of prayers and affirmations would work out.

And people labeled it; emotional developmental delay, cognitive rigidity, emotional dysregulation, stubborness, etc.

Oh, except all of those are useless. And not the root cause of all of that.

Well?
Does one need an anti psychotic to cope with unmanageable chronic stress from chronic all years long sneezing for the last few decades straight?

Why not the fricking latter?


Hmph.
Either I'm going to curse this world into dooming humanity, or keep casting my vote to demand a systematic overhaul.

Yes, big words and declarations.
But one can dream, or mentally jack off.

I don't get how people can look towards a political bloc that claims government can only ever be the problem and not the solution and see them as people who should be trusted govern.

Why not trust governing to people who understand that government can be used towards beneficial goals and who will make an effort towards those goals instead of cynical idiots who (by their own ideology and admission) can't be trusted with power because they don't believe they can use that power beneficially?

^ I guess you are talking about Republicans there?

I can only imagine some of them see governance as a matter of damage limitation and that they or other Republicans are the people best placed to be in charge of such a matter.

Not just Republicans, because the problem isn't limited to them even if they're a great example of it. It's a much broader problem among folks who are influenced by libertarianism and/or neo-liberalism and it leads to a very cynical and incompetent strain of those ideologies becoming dominant.

I wish there's a truer way to make my need for expression as a human a very private thing.

Not an open thing, not a public internet, not even an attachment related thing.
Definitely not a cry for help thing. :roll:


I have the power to tell my head stuff directly.
But I'm quite cautious of what I put into it.
