"Let me live by the side of the road, and be a friend to man...." As more and more hair catches fire, America doubles down on its polarization - not much room left in the middle for ordinary people living ordinary lives. A bad soap opera seems the best our Roman Circus can offer. Both sides are looking at the same reality, and seeing two different worlds. Remember how Orson Wells', 'War of the Worlds' broadcast disaster was pre-TV? But if you have no real perspective of your own, anything can be made to look like anything. Not unlike the old adage, 'if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything'. There has been no political Right and Left in America for decades. Once all that remained of the FDR Democrats sold out, by the early 60s - and JFK, MLK Jr. and RFK were made examples of, any real choice disappeared and was replaced by the Plutocracy's choice of 'The Lesser of Two Evils'. And except for a little window dressing, the results are always the same - what's good for the Wealthy is the only agenda. In short, regardless of which Party is chosen, or how, everything will continue to go 'wrong' for the Working Class and right for the Rich. We can't vote our way out of a Plutocracy. But they CAN be forced to retire from politics and all their corruption. It happens organically when the tyranny of greed becomes unbearable, and the people finally get mad as hell and decide not to take it anymore. We're just not there yet. What anyone believes, is truth for them. But reality pays no attention at all. And if what you believe is seriously off-base, it can cost you everything you have - including your life. This is a game you can only win by changing it - and that starts by refusing to play their crooked version.

Has madness metaphorically taken over and boldly strides across America's political landscape?  By Kofi Thompson  Dear critical-reader, the question we must ponder over is: Has madness metaphorically taken over, and boldly strides across America's political landscape?  America's pivotal WW2 intervention that secured victory for the Allied Forces, in the European theatre of war, would not have been possible if the U.S. Congress then had had influential politicians on both sides of the spectrum, who shared the same worldview and mentality as that of today's Trumpist far-right GOP MAGA extremists, lol. Truth be told, dear critical-reader, Trumpist far-right GOP MAGA extremists make perfect trojan-horse fifth-columnists, for America's most powerful foes - undercutting their own country at every turn and weakening her, at precisely the juncture of history when America needs to be strong, resolute and united, to face its many dangerous and unpredictable enemies around the world.  In a different era, with brutal wars raging in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere, they would be considered appeasers and traitors and rejected outright by voters. No question. It is a sign of the times that they are not. Icredibly, in a world in flux, madness metaphorically has taken over, and strides boldly, across the political landscape of America. Pity.

Whose side is Civil War on? Many of the negative responses to Civil War boil down to Alex Garland’s failure to tell us whose side he is on. People went in to Civil War expecting the thrill of confirmation bias, of being told that our side, in the ever more polarised politics of the United States, is the right side. Instead Alex Garland throws in references to right-wing militias and “Portland Maoists” that suggest he’s not very happy with either side. Texas allying with California is a useful way of indicating that this civil war is not between the sides we might expect. But it’s also a MASSIVE complement to California and Texas. When the chips are down, and tyranny is arising, America’s two most powerful states will overcome any difference and unite to fight for liberty. Let’s hope that is so. Because Alex Garland isn’t angry with Texans or Californians. He isn’t angry with Liberals or with Conservatives. Alex Garland isn’t angry with Americans. Alex Garland isn’t even angry with war. Alex Garland is angry with all the people, left or right, Texan or Californian, American or otherwise Performatively LARPing our way towards a senseless conflict just because the LARP is quite entertaining Analysing the meaning of Civil War, this weekend's video essay on the Science Fiction channel Link - https://lnkd.in/g6fgFsRu

The route for America's first Woman President is becoming of America"s desperate need to embrace not deny democracy for American citizens; not just because habitatating United States soil. I see a legitimate reason to help the helpless, who, needs a Hospital for physical, primarily mental challenges. Especially, after GOVERNMENT"s MASS CLOSING of Mental Health Hospitals serving Citizens with brain trauma. Unfortunately, impact of short cited policy, exponential growth in homelessness. Reality of the Trickledown Hypothesis'. otherwise the fruits claimed should have shown since Reagan. America's hierarchy is defined by longevity and capitalized time in America. Merit based on Constitutional principles with biases to American longevity. Don't say yes, if you reject the Native American and African forced into America's world albeit they were already traveled in the Americas.

Has anyone else watched this yet: https://lnkd.in/gm6TxsJD I was very skeptical of Jon Stewart's return. I'm not sure why. I thought it was important that America prove we did not need him anymore? I didn't want to feel like I was waiting for his return like the King of Gondor. But, now that he's back, I mean, this episode was incredible, and the opening monologue was as stirring and authentic a call to civic participation as I have heard in many years. Worth dusting off the Paramount account to watch. One thing that stood out to me in the interview, though - the way that Minton Beddoes pointed out that the cost of supporting Ukraine is obviously far less than the cost of dealing with a Russia-that-contains-Ukraine. And this made me wonder, why, precisely, the nationalist/fascist/anti-globalist/MAGA/isolationist [pick your poison] crowd is so unconcerned about cost in this sense. They care so little about the cost that they don't even seem to want to estimate it, they do not want to understand the risk, the principle comes first and the cost is ignorable. They seem to say that they are willing to pay those costs as they arise, without any kind of 'reasonable person' assessment of the risks being opened up. And so what is it that they actually value, if these isolationist sentiments are espousable to the detriment of other core values traditionally associated with ye olde GOP. I don't have anything more cunning to say than that, I don't really know what the answer is. But I think it is something to remember when you're addressing these points of view. Explaining why they might be inconsistent with the rule of law, or with basic cost/benefit analysis. Is that whatever value these isolationists truly believe in is more powerful than those things, to them. It's worth an open confrontation with the same world power that we almost ended civilization with 60 years ago. YIIIIKES. That calls for a more thorough assessment of what's happening to us right now and just more active citizen and professional involvement in advocating for what democracy means?

Levin has not forgotten the help the US has provided Isreal but in this case what appears like a racist rant coming out of the US was responded to. Mano River Group Inc is a private company which under international laws can seek establishment within other nations. Similarly leadership in Mano River Group Inc is not tagged to race, gender, or age. People who worked over the years under difficult circumstances to uphold a company and will continue to uphold their beliefs in that company are shareholders in that company and are employers. Shares of Mano River Group Inc are on sales in blocks of 100,000 that can be procured by anyone who accept the price tag on each share. Employees are job seekers who may eventually become leaders or could form a part of leadership based on distinctive qualities that are quantifiable. Partnership is expressed by contribution and once contribution acceptable is documented, an agreement is reached to form terms of references. We don't expect people who have their share of interest in other activities to rain racist rants over Mano River Group Inc as a continuing act that suggest immaturity being less savy in international relations.

Stuart Stevens: The Conspiracy to End America The Commonwealth Club of California Nov 3, 2023 Will 2024 be America's last free and fair election? That ominous warning comes from Stuart Stevens, a former chief Republican strategist whose clients included President George W. Bush; Senators Chuck Grassley, Dick Lugar and Dan Coats; and Governors Haley Barbour, John Kyl, Bill Weld and many others. He says the GOP is dragging our country toward autocracy, and the party is no longer a "normal" political party in the American tradition. Rather, he says it is an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As the Republican party changed, Stevens exited his role in one of the country's most influential political strategy firms and joined the Lincoln Project, where he is currently an advisor. Stevens wrote about his fear for the country in his provocative new book, The Conspiracy to End America. In it, he reviews the elements that are necessary for democracies to slide into autocracy, and he examines each of these forces on the modern American right and how they are working together. Are these the last days of the old republic? Or can there be a renewed commitment to democratic governance? Don't miss this talk as Stevens flashes a blinking red distress alert as well as a rallying cry to beat back this threat.
