It's the Teletubbies are bad all over again

Democracy is only as free as its citizens' minds. Without the education and critical thinking to understand what's at stake, the people don't govern, they get governed. That's the shared claim of Aristotle's "democratic education" and Sagan's "otherwise the government runs us" are the same argument.

These mfl think they're righteous, it's what their supernatural systems indoctrinate. There are various levels of how unhealthy these systems are, and this is at the worse end. At the other end which may seem better, they include LGBTQ+ folks, but still must accept shame/blame/guilt for "sins", declare they need some external fix, and must say/think the right words, conditional, to get rewarded later in a supernatural realm, when this is the only time to experience the universe as conscious stardust. They get sucked in by the blame/reward cycle and neurochemical hacks. Some don't care much about this planet or understand that we caused this extinction event, which impedes progress and hurts everyone. Blaming real world issues on supernatural does not fix them, just like epilepsy was not helped by abuse as they once "sincerely believed". The same excuse they use today to oppose all the stuff we understand but they still reject.

Agreed the cuts are wrong and Harris would not have done, but critical things should have gotten other funding, other countries step up to fill in for what's so important, once maga ruined it all, and it should be known not to trust the usa anymore.

What's so unhealthy is that none of it is a rock, but the very sand they warn about, how convenient, projection been going on a long time! Same with all the other supernatural systems that preceded it by thousands of years and that came after. It's a compilation of what worked best for men in power to keep it, and supernatural stories controlled people better than force alone.

Other tricks they use to keep people hooked, indoctrinate from birth, offer belonging*, simplify thinking with phrases to repeat, must say/think the right words for alleged, but no proof of later reward, fear/reward cycle, cortisol, dopamine, oxytocin, guilt/shame/blame and they are the only one that can fix it, how convenient! It's been used for so long most think it's good to not have healthy skepticism and encourage curiosity and growth, transcend the ego control. Real truth sets us free from the low-level thinking and high-control and associated unhealthy ways. Big claims require big proof as Sagan said. We are waves of one ocean made of stardust, the cosmos observing itself, for this short time, nothing after, nothing to balance the ledger of suffering now.

I hope Aldi's grass fed beef is safe. And subsidizing Argentina and their failing system, liberated from quality assurance and other pesky democratic things. Understand the food safety laws in the usa and who forced federal action to protect, The People, from greedy companies that literally killed and blinded people.

Direct some of that ire at the employees who are supposed to work for We The People, but they did this to us, with sneaky means to avoid public knowledge, with our taxes. Seems against the alleged founding values.


Something is rotten,

They work for We The People,

But lie to us all

Quite a campaign to quietly install these all over the country, use free pilot programs, kept the cost low enough to not need city council vote after public discussions and hide in tech costs, so the fuss happens after they wasted all this money. Talk about fraud and scamming the public out of tax money, and used against the public and w/o our actual consent. They're supposed to serve and work for We The People, but used multiple methods to lie and hide it from us. Doing the wrong thing has to be hidden, not honest things.

And they were fine that he proudly grabbed women w/o consent and worse, that is a red line for anyone who has integrity and female loved ones.


Shiver me timbers,

Laughing lady had dark skin,

Vote rapist instead
