    Yeah but Chomsky was in the club. The reiki practitioner likely isn’t unless they’ve gained a following of extremely wealthy “donors.”

    And I’m not adverse to whatever metaphysical thing people want to believe as long as others are free to disbelieve of their own accord, unlike some weird scientology type stuff or proselytizing by ambush/cornering I guess…Otherwise wear temple garments or practice TM, taiji, asatruism, merkavah, or thelema or karate. WASP religions or offering Orishas, or Judaism or Baha’i. Jesus Christ supposedly lived off women of means and street preaching, so there’s that. But more than that, WASP heavily colors (no clever pun intended) every other Christian denomination as the Torah colors Judaism and Christianity. But it should never be the justification for abusing neighbors, individuals or entire states/continents. So I can understand wanting to dispense of metaphysics completely, as well. When healthcare is inaccessible, allow the opiate.

    And I’m also for bodily autonomy. So to say I have complex ambivalent feelings about it is a bit understated.

    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. 💁
