Since last summer i put a series of repeating activities on my calendar, one for every day of the week. Their main effect is reminding me that my free time could be spent on personal prpjects that do not necessarily need to lead to something public.
It also encourages intentional boredom, as opposed to scrolling. I don't know if it improved my life a lot, i end up ignoring the suggested activities most of the times, but it helps me keeping that frame of mind, and it probably allowed me to put effort in a few things i care for.
I'm kinda starting to think the dems are silent because if they did support resistance and deploy national guards, it would technically start a civil war, and no rich elite would like that, and the general population would pay that too
Like, it could be used as an excuse to ramp up the kidnappings even more
I'm saying this because even people like Sanders, not exactly your typical lobby puppet, doesn't seem to go for this. Perhaps they find it more useful to wait for the midterms and acquire enough power to avoid a civil war
That said, it's disgusting to see how military and police do not act on their own against these illegal and unconstitutional kidnappings, and we all know they won't ever be accountable for this inaction
Star trek series are no longer available on netflix
Because some rich person had a deal with another rich person, neither of whom had anything to do with producing said series made before streaming was a thing.
A down-top socialist approach would give actual democratic control over "capital", meaning for example that those who provide the news would control it independently from those who provide the food on people's tables, and big decisions inside them would be taken democratically among the big number of workers.
The reason these police kidnappings happen is that right now those capitals are all controlled by a very small monopolistic elite, twisting the national democratic process, preventing people from having actual control even over the State. Thus, media, food and police are all working basically for the same few guys.
While all first episodes catch viewers off guard, Doscovery is a big jump, from the 2000s to the almost-2020s
And it definitely tries to do things differently. It's all a connected story, episodes rarely are stand-alone, and moral messages are mixed inside the story
That said, as you go on, you'll find wonderful ideas that would nave been awesome on the 90s too. Surely a few things will seem off, but the concepts are very startrek. At least to me.
