I was thinking about even Adolf only planned a thousand years.

Excellent, thank you! That there is a full transcript is a plus, I’ll read it later in bed.

I agree with that. The biggest hindrance there is people can’t begin to imagine “socialism” outside lightly regulated capitalism. I have trouble doing that. Of the black voters in my mostly black neighborhood who mostly voted D, the prevailing mentality seemed to be crippling loss aversion, despite pointing out rapid loss over the last decade, rather than voting for real, actionable plans for gains. I largely fault the educational infrastructure, couples with the desire for escapism in whatever leisure hours may be available, after making ends meet, and if I’m honest, the latter may be more to blame than the former.

Sanders has constantly inched right, as has AOC and others. Since revo in the USA currently favors far right, what are you suggesting as practicable material means of swinging the electorate farther left?

Imo, men who have to prove their “manliness” by being “the man” are extremely insecure. Who are they working so hard to convince, us or themselves?

As a cishet woman, I find it gross and extremely gauche, and I don’t appreciate men who devalue themselves so much and expect me to devalue myself. Diseases are real, condoms break, and the value of things depends on rarity. Not artificial value, as in diamonds, but real value, as in a fine single malt or vintage wine, properly aged in an appropriate vessel, for long periods. Most men who have spread themselves so profusely also fancy themselves as stellar lovers when it couldn’t be father from the truth. They are usually lazy, sloppy and selfish. Since these types are all that seem to be around me, I’ve simply been vocel, for two years. I’m not risking it and I’m not faking it. Unless I should feel the need to take up sex as work, I guess.

No bro

I do indeed mean a federal reserve cryptocurrency. Banks already have been adopting it and I assume we will see more of it in the next administration. I see it akin to the electronic version of the policing tactic known as kettling. This won’t do anything in the long run, other than buy time for the Scrooge McDucks to escape and target other currencies. And I suspect they have plans for BRICS. To what extent those plans may succeed will depend on the foresight of BRICS, I would imagine.

It’s difficult for me to speak in specifics, never having had resources sufficient enough to plan for centuries, before. The people of whom I speak do have those kinds of resources, and their dynasties have had them for centuries, passing those strategies down for generations. I would imagine there are contingency plans for contingency plans, but I’m having difficulty imagining what that looks like.

I think the USA is pushing for cashless society partly because both parties see the USD losing hegemony, and it is more surveillable, and a bit of insulation to the power structure. The structure will collapse, of course, but all the billionaires will safely be on their private islands, by then, leaving the masses to sort/fight it out amongst themselves.

Yes. After significant experience with that, I would say that’s the difference between desperation and confidence.

To illustrate, desperation = pick me, confidence = I’m enough.

You may not have. There could be several reasons for the phenomenon you described, trauma being but one possibility.

Biology happens, and I’d still tell people, after significant experience with that: spend the time getting to know someone before sexing them. That hormone rush wears off after about three months, and it’s not great to find out you really don’t actually like a person you’re already sleeping with.

This is a powerful article. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The author is correct. A lot of women put up with stuff they shouldn’t, but feel constrained by societal expectations, resources, ability, and just plain brainwashing. I had a conversation about it with one of my male neighbors, recently.

It could be from childhood trauma (repressed memories). I believe that’s explanatory of many issues I have had in my life. It’s not recommended exploring that outside of a therapist’s care.

This reminds me of s scene from ^Fridays

That was depressing.

Thank you for the summary.

I was wondering if the next admin will double down.

The kindness and forbearance here got me hooked. Being disillusioned isn’t always fun, but as someone on another platform says; A lie travels quickly, but the truth endures.

Would you prefer the term malignant psychopath? Or sociopath? Same general outcome in meaning, just more clinical

Yes.

Oh, no, they’re stronger than ever.
