@graveunfurling I don't believe in that definition of money. What I've found that makes much more sense is that money is the blood of Moloch, whose love is endless oil and stone. That also explains why the fantasy of freedom in money is ultimately frustrating.
@9mmsmg Your oligarchs are actively dismantling your nation and you're still screeching at the boogeymen they dangled in front of you.... When are you going to wake up. There is no "we". "We" didn't let china do anything. You're not in the club. You're a disposable cog to them.
@InertialObservr We need to amplify things like that a thousand fold, imo. I grew up thinking I was "not a math guy". I started coding for fun in college and now I'm a math teacher.
@BradWarner welp Brad, I have a lot of respect for you, but I'm coming away from this with a distinct impression that your grasp of politics is quite superficial..
@BradWarner To be sure, so much of politics comes down to affect.
There is disaffection between the two sides, and we can only heal that within our selves.
But, Brad... What about facts? Practical matters? What of climate change? There is a limit to this relativism, this both-sides-ism.
remember that one of the main strategies used against you is wasting your energy. be wary of:
+demands you attack a specific group or person
+scattershot attacks intended to destabilize
+purity tests
+people who favor blame over constructing anything
+reductionist analyses
