@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Yes, I believe in civility and honesty.
Trust and good faith are needed for fair trade. Cooperation is needed before competition in order to have rules. Have you ever tried to play a game with someone who makes rules up as they go. No one will play with them. Sad.
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Our gvt typically backs the corporations. Though the rest of the world has caught on to the colonialism game. The corruption is systemic. Those in gvt opposed to bad practice typically overruled by the wealthy, the precursor to Citizens United.
You & I do not see same bogeymen
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth He is sure not concerned about the NK people when threatening them with his big buttons and nukes, daring KJI to shoot first.
I don't think Trump is not human. But he lacks judgement, intellect, compulsive, dishonest and selfish. He is easier to forgive than to love. Sad.
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth I would agree about unethical colonial gvt and profit motivation but the conflict is real and motivated by irresponsible corporate behavior. Only thing artificial is the economic rationalization for abusive business practices.
Have you read Shock Doctrine?
@bethesdabeth@tommy_pane Not to mention causing the long history of despotic Central American regimes through economic colonization (slavery really) culminating in the refugee crisis at our border.
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Perhaps his efforts are motivated in part by the misery of NKs people. Regardless thestrained quality of his concern, his strategy reveals his unsuitability for the office in which he finds himself
Quote on gravestone of Earl Warren, who died today 1974:
"Where there is injustice, we should correct it; where there is poverty, we should eliminate it; where there is corruption, we should stamp it out….where there is neglect, we should provide care…."
I would have jumped into that cave WITHOUT diving gear and saved ALL THOSE KIDS but my bone spurs are so bad right now I can barely swing a golf club! SAD! #ThailandCaveRescue#MAGA
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Or you could just role play a character that was driven by, motivated by those facts and intuitions pertinent to their existence in their situation. Method acting.
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Not more empathetic, just more pragmatic about the interdependence of their peace of mind. I cannot be free if my neighbor is enslaved. Just don't feel right, wouldn't you agree.
@tommy_pane Who are you kidding?
Americans hate laws and will only follow the ones they like, cross the red light when no one is looking and lie about it. Your mess of a president is their leader and example. We are all like this to some extent. It comes with stealing a continent.
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Here's a challenge: be human, let yourself be moved by another's need, recognize that you cannot own anything that does not also own you, admit the fact that more than a dozen nations have stronger institutions, stronger smarter people, constitutions and less poverty than USA
@tommy_pane@bethesdabeth Right, I suppose this is your argument that empathy is a liberal trick meant to deprive you of your property. To whom do you owe your DNA, social stability, the fruit of the land that sustains you? OTHER FUCKING PEOPLE!
Do you feel more pity for the pizzagate kids
