  • This is the real question. Americans don’t give enough of a shit to lift a finger and do anything about it.

  • It was lost a long time ago for the lower classes and those with the least power. It’s the middle class that it’s catching up to.

  • Alcohol impairment can be very messy. I know someone who had 1 and a half drinks, had no speech slurring or obvious signs of being black-out drunk, but did not remember a third of the night the next day because she’s a lightweight that’s drank a single-digit number of times in her life (she’d also eaten very little that day and had some recent sleep debt). I would not have guessed she was blackout drunk, she was just talking about her problems and was articulate the entire time I saw her. If I didn’t know she had been drinking, I can’t think of how I would’ve known short of some kind of specific motor function test that’s made to suss that out/harder than just sitting around, talking, and occasionally going to the restroom. She just looked a little tired. When we spoke later, she didn’t remember basically anything after a certain point (a couple of hours’ worth) and wondered if some vague flashes of memories had been dreams. It was rather surprising to me.

  • We need to do some hard thinking about systemic fixes in a vacuum. We really don’t have a perfect answer to preventing eventual power disparities that eventually accelerate in a game theoretical sense, imho, and we probably want as best of an answer as possible to rally around and hopefully one day test. Patching what we have now is a more reachable option, but even that needs to be defined better as well, imo. I’m talking ranked voting, removing money influence, market collusion, market manipulation, oligopolies, no media monopolies, removing taxes havens while not incentivizing the chasing of loop holes; vs direct democracy or adjacently less-representative forms.

  • To play devil’s advocate, because this is where my fears and doubts lie, is do we (as humanists/anti-authoritarians worldwide) have enough nation-states with enough manpower to fight back the current openly fascist ones if it came to it given that authoritarianism and tolerance to it is worryingly on the rise in traditionally democratic first-world countries? It seems that maybe due to current analytical tools like palantir, psy ops from social media and regular media, (or for one reason or another); mass-control government factions are reaping the benefits of a sedated population, the outrage may simply never reach a point of action because it is being actively dissipated the Goldilocks amount relative to the rate of increase in power disparity.

  • My own big problem with it all is that we keep talking about guns to fight back, but drones and the network of surveillance cameras that exist we also really need to talk about, including the doorbell ones that law enforcement already has access to.

  • It’s not. I meant it and there’s no use pretending.

    I’ve lived through enough racist bullshit and had some close encounters with neonazis going further back than the first trump presidency. He certainly emboldened them and both the frequency and severity of bullshit increased during his first term. Most of my life has been marked with more privileged people asking me to pipe down because they simply couldn’t connect with, fathom, or were unwilling to consider how much worse the experience in pockets of this country can be for some of us. There are always many different reasons to defend the status quo, including the fear of breaking an illusion of a much more civilized America. Those at the bottom always take the brunt of the consequences of maintaining this illusion.

    Seems that people are barely recognizing the patterns that have been established for many, many years, only because they are now undeniable. Because they have come to a head.

    I don’t care about being held to some higher standard in order to appease overly idealistic sensibilities, when the overton window has pushed us back this far to the brink of civil war through double standards. Neonazis are making demonstrations in minority communities, and we have a set of politicians using nazi playbooks to turn this country fascist in record time, following steps openly outlined by them years prior.

    Sorry, but the intolerance paradox is real. And I won’t live my life a useless saint. Fuck these morons.
