  • In the analogy, your comment is part of the cacophony that doesn’t allow for change to take place.

    “you are three days away from the best economy of your life”. That’s the ice cream.

    Maybe you were too busy hearing the other driver talk about the cliff. Until we realize that those “other” voters are just as duped as we are, nothing will change.

    If you’re a real person, and not a bot, you need to get used to the idea that your ✨ favorite ✨ political party doesn’t give a fuck about you or making your life better. Neither does the other party. You cannot ‘vote out’ a corrupt system of two colluding political parties.


  • Well it’s an analogy so let’s get more precise.

    You don’t vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they’ll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.

    Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you’ve seen has been skimming the bus fare money.

    Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.


















  • starting with plating the seeds in the ground and ending with cooking.

    Sounds like you’re pretty aware of the process so let me offer the alternative view you seem to be pushing:

    1. Gently and respectfully lick society’s asshole
    2. Beg society to please give you some way of cooking your food because without the help of current technology and organization you’d be the one who’s cooked.
    3. Ignore the palpable cringe of your ancient ancestors as they look down on you from the unga boonga afterlife

  • I was going to link you to a wikipedia article titled CIA controversies but took the time to name a few of the more flagrant episodes by them and the FBI which would be more interesting to learn about.

    Operation north wood, midnight climax, mk ultra, project mockingbird, cointelpro, operation chaos, the church committee reports.

    Reading about just a few of these should start to reveal that skepticism regarding the intent and methodology of the US gov is a valid response and not necessarily in line with ‘conspiracy theory bullshit.’
