@HappyHeathen@kolektiva.social @Outersider@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF USA centric: As a middle aged adult, I thought Capitalism if highly regulated, with wealth caps and social safety nets, was the best we could hope for. The 1940ish New Deal was a big step in the right direction for Labor against tycoons, as a consequence, WWII put the US in a position of advantage, but ever since the Capitalists have been pushing us backwards hoarding wealth.

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Outersider@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF Ref: Founding Father standards- Level playing fields, equal opportunity, equality before the law, taxation with representation, freedom of religion, democratic elections- ideals stated, goals not realized, but strived for at least on paper and put in our Constitution. IMO, while not a Dem, they are closer to the mark than the GOP, who has broken bad.

@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 @Outersider @Badger_AF, ideals don't exist, as there is no absolute truth, they are always individual perceptions. For this reason, social progress is always an evolutionary process that settles according to the maturity and general culture of a society. Revolutions that are carried out in a society too soon, see history, are always betrayed and corrupted, they have never been stable for more than a season by the use of oppressive methods.

Badger AF (he/him) DEMOCRACY

@Radical_EgoCom Slipping into bothsiderism. Obama's supporters were overcome with emotion at seeing the first Black President.

TFG's supporters are seeing a candidate who openly embraced White Supremacy.

This. Honestly, while I find tankies to be really, REALLY problematic, at least some of them *can* lay claim to the "in theory it was good, in practice it became a genocidal, imperialistic hellscape" defense.

The US does NOT have that defense. The only somewhat partial defense it has is that people have fought it and undermined it all the way to earn the few freedoms we have before being either coopted or killed or both.

and that's NO defense. Just so everyone is clear

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Outersider@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF In it’s desire to be free of England, slavery was set aside to be dealt with later. I’m making no excuses for how it went, in another 70 years it was dealt with, kind of, but not totally. That legacy lives on today. But the ideals stated were excellent, they just were not followed. The 50-60s was another leap forward, but now we seem to be sliding backwards. 😬

@Outersider@kolektiva.social @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF I’m no economy expert but as I see it, this is the challenge facing us. Some preach democracy, anarchy, war lords, socialism, communism, capitalism. My premise is the system chosen is worthless if the ideals upon which it is founded is a sham, and corruption destroys all systems. The USA was founded on excellent ideals, but we see today in some quarters, those ideals are being abandoned for personal gain, the perception of gain, and political power.

The Head Liar proclaims that after being reelected he’s going after the “most corrupt President in our history”. I’d love to see him cuff himself. 🤔

@TonyStark “Along with trying to stop schools from giving all their students free meals, the proposed 2024 Republican budget includes efforts to:

-cut Social Security and Medicare
make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1% permanent
-impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
-extend work requirements on those aged 55–64
-bring back all of twice-impeached and twice-arrested former President Donald Trump’s deregulations”

Shiny Amygdala, ph.D

@Radical_EgoCom

Portland OR, spring of 2021 , me and my family were headed to the park on Shabbat, it was the first time we been out in a while (both parents are trans and 1 of our 3 children are trans). My partner was pushing me in my wheelchair and the oldest was pulling a red wagon that my trans child was sitting in, the youngest was walking beside me. Three men come up behind us and attack us and attempt to abduct my trans child. We were screaming for help while a group of 10 or more people watched on. NO ONE CAME TO OUR AID!! My partner (trans femme) used some tactics to get the men to back off and we went straight to the park where we were supposed to be anyway. I had data on my smart phone and was messaging a local mutual aid trans safe Facebook group telling them what happened and asking for back up to walk us home. I got some thumbs up and one comment: "I'm sorry that happened to you" and then nothing. No one came .

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @Badger_AF You’re talking about the problem with humans as a species. We are selfish ME>WE when it should be WE>ME. I predict this change in outlook will not happen until we are jarred awake, possibly orchestrated by a catastrophic event that happens, but maybe not even then. We’ll have to get knocked on our asses before some of us, those left alive, wake up.
Note being awake and aware is a dirty word to a scary large % of USA citizens who’d rather be asleep.. 😪
