@QasimRashid wish we had a faster and more comprehensive passenger rail network here in the states. Flying is fine for long distance but unnecessary for shorter trips.
What the hell am I talking about? Not sure, to be honest.
But one aspect is to kill the lie of "us" vs. "them"
There is no "them", there is only us. It's always been that way, even if we never had a great enough perspective to see it until lately.
We live on an isolated speck of pleasantness in a sea of death we can never leave (Earth). Everything anyone does here eventually affects everyone else. We are all connected and are all in the same fight together. All problems are global.
A group called Moms for Liberty wants to ban "offensive" books. Something about that sentence confuses me. #censorship #florida
@jeffowski in Canada you'd probably be in the center. "Far left" in the US seems to be anyone with any of their humanity still intact
"I'm upset about abortions"
"Let's fund sex ed, contraceptives and health care for pregnant women, it will cause the number of abortions to decline dramatically."
"NO. Send the women & doctors to jail."
"I'm upset people jump the turnstyle"
"Let's properly fund the subway and make it free and faster while reducing overhead."
"NO. I want those bad teens ARRESTED."
"This dreary area under the bridge is DISGUSTING."
"Let's clean it up & install a public restroom."
"NO. Arrest people for pooping"
It never was about abortion
