    We really need to crush the parasitic billionaire problem that funds the right and leverages convenient idiots of the world by stoking their prejudice and hate. There will always be some innocent whipping boy to toss in a camp. Pitchfork politics is never about the victims it is about controlling the conversation and distraction. Like in the USA, the only reason for the stupidity is to prevent closing the loopholes that enable the corrupt oligarchy. No one can investigate and make reasonable laws when they are confronted by a constant barrage of absurd nonsense. It just needs to be so inflammatory that no one can dominate the conversation with the message I’m posting now to regain any sense of rational control. The USA has 10% of the laws and protections of any other western nation. This is why the parasites exist, what they are funding, and what is being exported world wide. Russia proved that power is all about leveraging the convenient idiots. Australia and Japan have solved this issue already. Anyone with tens of billions of dollars is a worthless subhuman criminal.

      Great comment. It’s a hurtful truth and I have no idea how to fix this shit. I’m from Germany and while it’s far from being as bad as in the US, we’re heading in the same direction.

        The first fix is to regain control of the rhetoric amongst ourselves. We need a mass movement to dominate the entire sociopolitical conversation. The real power is in the human tendency to gravitate to the same topics and towards the sensational/controversial. We need to outright reject all of the inflammatory nonsense by going meta every time. Never talk about the subjects themselves. Make every conversation about the underlying manipulation and distraction. People like the blood emerald African space Karen can not be allowed to dominate the social sphere. The entire world culture average atmosphere must pushed back. Right now, we are being lead about in chains visiting a prescribed list of dog piles to shove our noses in. The dog shit is not the problem; it’s the person holding the chains. Every morning we choose who gets to hold the chains. We like our noses shoved in dog shit so much we run back to it every day without realizing we are giving the chains to the problem person every time.

    Imagine what humankind could have accomplished if we didn’t have to divert the majority of our energy and resources to constantly beating back fascism and bigotry.

    So much human potential spent holding back the same exact fucking thing every single time. We fought a world war over this shit almost a century ago! Why the fuck do we still need to constantly fight this shit. It’s exhausting.

      This is why my backpack has a patch that reads:
      “Evil is boring”

      It’s literally the exact same words, the exact same playbook every. single. time. And it’s exhausting.

      Evil is not capable of creating anything new. Like you said, if we didn’t have to divert our energy to fighting this nonsense, so much more creation of new, good, interesting things could be accomplished.

    Thanks for sharing. Too bad this stuff is metastasizing all over Europe.
