@shuro @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social That’s what I say, any economic system designed by humans with the best of intentions is more than likely to be corrupted, by…humans. An easy example is Social Security in the USA. Almost from the start it was undermined, robbed the money taken from it for other purposes. Now it’s in trouble and the GOP wants to kill it. We’ll see how that goes. 😳

@wakame @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @shuro I would describe it as taking advantage especially if you think by virtue of individual talents, you deserve much much more. Groups decide they are better because of their achievements and that includes placing others in physical or economic bondage because they can. The more comfortable and larger the tribe gets... Capitalism in the last 60yrs has become atrocious as those at the top think they should live like kings.

@wakame @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @shuro …that is unless you align yourself with a sub-group who you consider to be the dominators. Then you’ll be relatively on top and even expect special treatment by virtue of club membership. 🤔

@8petros @shuro @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social when human beings are in survival situations they cooperate more as I think of a place like early Jamestown where people were dieing left and right.

Yesterday heard an outstanding report on NPR about #QueerEcology, the study of nature to understand sexual reproduction across life forms, as a result recognizing a binary choice of sexual reproduction should not be regarded as the norm. Unfortunately I can’t find a link but did locate this:

@mikebrew @jann @Jayslacks I view the first 2 GotGs as an evolution, about the relationship between Quill and his Ravager Dad. It’s powerful, but I don’t insist on agreement. 😀 As I said my decision about GotG3 is undecided until I see it again.

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @shuro I agree. When I reference “bad humanity” I’m looking at the collective. Surely we are not all bad, but as far as Mother Earth, NOT team players, and we will destroy ourselves the longer we remain selfish. You’d have to get statistics. An easy observation, but not conclusive is look at the make up of Congress, almost half there are-anti-democracy to manipulate, profit, and to exploit or to persecute. Then ask yourself how many votes do they represent? 🤔

@GreenFire Heard something like this before from Mr Plausible Denier, in an encouraging tone, “find me some votes, come on, you can do it!!” 😷

@PDFlynn Diversity is a worthy liberal ideal healthy for any democracy. No surprise the conservative court when they got the chance axed 69 years of precedence and progress. 😔

@GayDeceiver I know little about the process but doesn’t The House have to vote on it? That would make it seem to me unlikely at this point.
