That was a great answer. I didn't realize that state governors could be as bad as Trump, with all the exposés on him.
Thank you for answering. The question was in such a primordial state that I had to post it here, since I couldn't find many of the words. I have now seen that some branches of Critical Theory have been used to design a theoretical deliberative democracy that could be used someday, and not have as many problems as today. There is also work by very new authors to use Critical Theory to answer "What is to be done?", which I wondered was possible.
Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does "embolden" mean here? What does "communication" mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of "the system". What is this "system"? What isn't this "system"? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?
How? I've read a bit about it, but I'm not exactly sure what you're describing.
What do you disagree with?
And you're not doing anything. Whenever someone actually wants to solve a damn problem, you're like "nooo, you can't do that! that's impossible!" and continue to mope all day about the state of the world. Maybe a big revolution would be overkill, but at least I put out pointers for a start. Heed: THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS NOTHING. What will appease Trump and his voters? Just having too much melanin angers them, and they're certainly going after our mothers, sisters, and daughters. We Cascadians could all embrace Gandhi's peace methods and we'd still be killed wholesale. Why can't you articulate what's wrong with the plan? Do you have a different plan?
I'm not mad, and I did vote, but I am disappointed.
Yes. I'm not talking about the people in the Rust Belt, I'm talking about the people in majority Blue states, like Oregon and Washington. There have been lots of riots over police brutality, and the whole Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone that was kept for almost a month. Thing was, with Trump, there will be way tougher riots. People will not worry about looking good for the press since they're just lying all the time. There are also tons of Trump voters who felt betrayed who were staunch Libertarians, and they studied things like Ruby Ridge and Waco. There's also a lack of IEDs and sniper rifles at those earlier protests, which will also change. It's going to be like the Iraq occupation, not to mention Trump voters being really scared and having poor critical thinking skills, and being uneducated as shit (read: easy to outsmart).
You could also fight it out, you know. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
I know there's a very "if you know you know" thing happening, but what will replace America? Is it Russian and Chinese troops coming all the way to Florida so they can set up a military base?
