This Survival Game Sux

Was thinking this just yesterday. It was keeping me from sleeping.

You can borrow a 3D printer. And drop the Audible! You can borrow audible books. Why give money to billionaires??

There was a great article in Jacobin back in 2016 explaining why it is damn near impossible to win 3rd party. I think Ackerman wrote it. After I read that, I quit harping on starting YET ANOTHER party; remember, we have quite a few "3rd Party" and when have any of them won a national election???

Because we (leftists, centrists, BIPOC, women, Gay, Trans) are not really people to their way of thinking. We do not matter. Only the MAGA crowd matters. Only their pain is real, only they should be mourned, and celebrated. The rest of America simply exists to work our asses off for billionaires.

What a country we have! Guns are so prevalent and so unregulated that we have active shooter drills in schools. We view our fellow citizens as adversaries, not without cause. We have no national health insurance, only so-called "rich" country that doesn't. And most of us just accept this.

Honey, I'm home!! Happy birthday, beloved Golden State.

The two parties have legislated themselves into permanency. The only solution is to take over one of them. MAGA took over Republican Party. Now, WE have to take over Democratic Party. No way around this. The only way to fight fascism is democratic socialism.

Its either dissolve into frailty, or become reluctantly focused on maintenance.

Thank you for gift link.

My parents loved being parents, they just struggled with being married. My dad emphasized that I could be anything I could dream of being, and my mom showed me how to beat the odds (she was blind from age 3, learned braille, was the only one in her family to graduate college). I miss them so much!

People choose jobs in most industries based on their ideals. If your ideal is to take care of others, that is where you end up. We call them "service" workers, but that is so simplistic. I say this as an RN, yet another altruistic service role.

It amuses me that I consider Bulwark a key part of my community, and have come to cherish Sarah, JVL, Tim and Sam as much as I do Bernie and AOC.

68 years ago, today, I entered the world. This has been a good year for my physical well being, and a sense of community - both temporal and virtual. So, thank you from an old gamer grrl (that was a thing) who joined the revolution in 2015. Ya'll inspire me.

This would work. I live in a rural red area and it always amazes me how most people still get the local paper up here.

Can't recommend this enough. Very intelligent and respectful discussion. If you are a person of faith, or not - its illuminating.

Excellent show! So much of what is on social media is just alarmist and offers little insight, just serves to increase anxiety. THIS made me feel informed and prepared to deal with these fascist techbros.

"The anti-Tesla movement is one of the most successful cases of social coordination in American history. In the span of six months the Tesla brand has been made radioactive."
But we can do more! Why not drive down Amazon and Facebook, as well - we have the power.

Death of a Cybertruck Salesman: How Trump Killed Tesla Schadenfreude is a bargain at $5.60 per mile.

This isn’t a subjective view. You can see it in the data.

Did you know there is a sangha that meets every Weds in Placerville, and that Ayya Santacitta used to reside in a monastery nearby? There is also a totally online dharma study group led by nuns that once lived at that monastery. Sierra Insight Sangha.

Please follow @gilduran.com and support his journalism on this techbro plot. It is the missing puzzle piece that fits into Project 2025 and explains why all those techbro billionaires went MAGA.

Thank you for posting this Dharma talk. It was what I needed. 🙏

We CAN hope to influence the people who usually don't vote (why would they? Their material conditions don't change, why bother?), the folks who aren't real tuned in to politics until shit hits their fans, etc. But decorum has to go out the window. The opposition is fascists and billionaires.

I live in a very big, very conservative county in California (only L.A. and S.F. are deep blue; we're a big rural state with typical rural Trumpers).
While you can always talk with people and genuinely try to figure out why they believe, don't think you can convert them. Most of them are lost.

0n 1/6/21, 10K people attempted to overthrow the US of A. 10 K. Think about that. Unless we are willing and prepared to show up in comparable numbers, this experiment in democracy is over.
There will be a call, ya'll. It is inevitable. Take this time to imagine what you will do.

Ummmm...if ya wanna join my Conan Exiles server on Xbox, search for "Exiles Oasis". All anti-fascist exiles welcomed!

Ya'll need to follow @gilduran.com ASAP. There's an unholy matrimony between Project 2025 and tech billionaires, and he has already graphed it out. It's chilling.
