@drjackrasmus annoying is Trump, to astute followers of affairs …. I imagine a Herodotus, asking himself, 🤔, How do I even *write* about this guy? (if he “blows up” things in an instant, what i wrote is now Irrelevant!)
@drjackrasmus Ok. But Trump leans oligarchical in his proposals (Jake Johnson, Common Dreams, ITEP analysis); on net to reverse Robin Hood things. Kamala? Proposes tepid reform (will she implement?, no). Me, I’m voting West, in CA.
@drjackrasmus Yes, probably he’d disagree w the word “control,” here; me?, I’m ambivalent about the use of that word here. Manufactured Consent is easier, now, (alas!), now that the “Information Highway” is here! 😭
@EliotJacobson@Mark_PPP@dwallacewells Wells disavowed his own title. On Democracy Now he said “Uninhabitable” is publishing “hyperbole.” — Any interview he does , take his Chris Hayes interviews , he stresses a we’ve-still-got-time theme , *yet* emissions keep accelerating ( 🤔 ) …. Heraclitus contemplates calc
@EliotJacobson@Matthew4300 earth (any planet, any sun, and any biological form) is just a speck , all life ends , quickly 🥲 ; the rest is narrative, ego ; thus , Grief
@EliotJacobson Is this based on an intuition that too many tipping points have piled up? The minefield is packed and the farther out we go the worse it gets! Or, is this mathematical certitude?

@EliotJacobson WHY do you do this f*** and f*** and f*** Mastery thing?, my fellow Santa Barbarian doomer? — Gift, “You Gave Me the Answer,” by Paul McCartney , 1975 Venus and Mars, Album. —- We don’t know Why.😌🤔
@drjackrasmus the key thing about Democrats is they don’t point out Republicans in their blind following of Trump, are fascists, thus an illegitimate party (fascists reject political pluralism); and, they win by taking corp$ and “triangulating” *against* their base!
@drjackrasmus Too optimistic given polar ice melt, Greenland. Methane feedback loop. And with rain forests in a doom loop, more of what we emit stays in the atmosphere …. So Exxon scientists were right, but too optimistic from here on out.
@drjackrasmus Last thing I’d say is … 🤔 Capitalist Managers keep just *barely* avoiding Recession. As a working class Bloke, I almost “feel” the 3% increase but 3.9% wage thing-y (for now, ha-hah) PHENOMENON!
They (obviously believe) they can keep D This , 4Ever! 😭
@drjackrasmus Yeh. I watch MSNBC as this kind of Weird Soap Opera. Viz., “When are they gonna Get Trump?” [He should be contained!]. But. He’s like the Sesame Street “Snuffalupaus” I grew up on ]
