  • No, it’s a dangerous, generalized statement that if you’re against what the far right is doing, you have to align with what we stand for. If not, you’re the far right. That is literally what it’s saying, and folks might add on some stuff in their head when they interpret it, or some additional hidden intention when they utter it. But ultimately, it will distill down to the literal meaning.





  • Well, it’s not something you just institute overnight. Just like with communism, if you try that you’d end up with a pretty big mess, because people will manipulate the framework for their own personal gains. Instead it’s something you work towards slowly, through education and efforts to balance the system until it’s not really needed anymore.

    The keys always have to be:

    1. People legitimately caring about their neighbors, and supporting each other through good times and bad
    2. People working towards progress for the sake of progress and their community, not for personal gain

    Our actions weave into the fabric of society, and future generations are formed from that same fabric. It takes time to shift how our nature manifests into actual behavior.


  • And honestly, ‘conservative’ shouldn’t be a bad word either. But it’s been morphed into this fascist hate machine, and it’s hard to see what you’ve become when you’re on the inside.

    It’s not like Democrats are screaming to tear down the Walmarts and Dollar Generals, and bring back local businesses and repairable products. Neither side is all that great, it’s just that one is teetering on genocidal. I’m not saying don’t vote democrat, because you absolutely have to if you want to head off what’s coming. But we need to start looking at this problem more holistically, if we don’t just want to perpetuate it in future generations.
