    People have got to stop believing that the western-led circus performance is the substance.

    This hit me hard, because it’s a very visceral “lower chakras” (figuratively speaking) feeling I carry but I’m also in the belly of the beast having a painful awakening that the people I was working with towards mutual aid distribution (nonperishables) moved and the other just abused themselves a decade or few too hard, too long, and rapidly deteriorating health like time lapse in 3D. And I’m old with an abused body not that bad but I’m one and rural (because that’s what I currently barely afford under conditions/hours offered and feasible simultaneously), and no feasible health care options. So I’m extremely outraged, but making the best of steady, just enough current hours, and grateful!

    Useless frothing liberal drive

    A bit harsh. I can understand where he is coming from, emotionally, even if rationally i think his outrage is misplaced.

    I can understand it because while it’s calming down as I learn, I’ve been there. 💁
