@133T Brother. I’m sorry for your soul, that the basis of your hurting-thing-of-an-instinct is to call another human being “retard.” I love you anyway. And yes, they do sell cards. Buy them after grading, and sell. And have been caught upping the grade after buying. You can see why.
@TulsiGabbard I have a feeling Fauci, while guilty, is a kind of patsy for other backwater stirrings. The lockdowns were a test, a transition point, to the WEF goals. Digital IDs. Digital currencies. Surveillance state. Just my opinion.
@SamaHoole No vaccines, either. And we can’t undervalue the effect of having an intact culture and sense of village, and what it does to the human heart and soul.
@SilverFoxBid1@lezdothiz21@IAmDannyO_@Meta0308@DarrigoMelanie I believe you are a bot, or a troll. I hope this is the case. In the age of AI, it gets harder to tell. Yet it erodes all sense of good faith in conversation, any hope of reconciliation.
@SilverFoxBid1@lezdothiz21@IAmDannyO_@Meta0308@DarrigoMelanie Brother, can you criticize one thing he has done? If not, there is a problem. No human on earth is not without fault. He is not God. He is not your God. Folks so badly want him to be “their guy,” their hero. A man made rich and famous by the system is not going to stop it.
@MattWallace888 Manhandling a minor isn’t a good look, nor is it good for society. Sure, disagree with her exuberance for graduating, but a grown-ass man should know better. This is the type of shit that gets you the Epstein Class. Power over people isn’t natural, and it’s a caustic force.
@SamaHoole There is so much more to this story, too. Menses begins earlier in sedentary/grain-based women. Mushy grains allows for the feeding of multiple infants (breastfeeding is a natural birth control). Allowed for bigger work force, needed for ag. Led to overpopulation.
@OwnPlatform@SamaHoole while the rest lived in squalor. Rome lasted a thousand turbulent, horrible years. Remaining HG cultures have been trudging on for over 50,000 years. We wouldn’t even be here to have this convo if all we came from were these failed empires.
@OwnPlatform@SamaHoole A thousand malnourished peasants will always win against a single vibrant, healthy hunter-gatherer. But that doesn’t mean their lives were an improvement, and they weren’t. Pyramids were built on the suffering exploited, landless, desperate people. The elites lived like kings…
@PaulRoundy1@SamaHoole Actually wrong on all fronts. You’re speakding from old cultural myth about the agricultural “revolution,” how it supposedly lifted us out of what you just described, which has been thoroughly debunked. Check out “Against the Gran” or “The Long Summer.” Ag was a gun to the head.
@JeremyD66917664@JohnStossel@SteveForbesCEO@Forbes as a way to ensure that selfishness and pride didn’t destroy their way of life. Are humans capable of selfishness? Yes. But a fully initiated and realized adult and culture found ways to cool this egoic tendency.
@JeremyD66917664@JohnStossel@SteveForbesCEO@Forbes 50x longer than the longest lasting empire, including Rome and Ancient China. The best San hunter ate last. He was insulted after making a kill to “cool his ego” so he didn’t think so highly of himself. And he had to credit the kill to whoever made the poison tipped arrow he used
@GullsBrady@JohnStossel Ahhhhh hahahaha. God Americans are self-centered self-serving assholes that will swallow whatever stupid ass system belief that benefits them.
@JohnStossel In other words, they reap what we all pay for. Or the Earth pays for. Or the poor pay for. With our health, our lives, clean water, clean air, our democracy, and a world without the Epstein class.
@JohnStossel I think what the lady was trying to say is that those at the tippy top have extracted and exploited the most aggressively. They did not pay the true externalized cost of anything that they have done, of any harm that they have inflicted upon people or ecologies.
