Well it was certainly a nice change to see Joe and Kamala recognize the great loss of life due to the virus. By this time tomorrow evening, I hope a peaceful transfer of power will have occurred.

Pope, how are your kids engaged in evading the extinction?

Do you want your offspring to experience the apocalypse?

Both of mine are working to avoid the apocalypse. I still think humanity has a chance to redeem itself. An apocalypse is not a viable option… by definition.

I think he’s burned too many bridges now. I’ve not seen evidence of any American institutions backing him, other than a minority of law enforcement officers acting with Trump Power in their minds. His biggest militarized backers are private groups, like p…[Read more]

The sociopathic/sadistic/narcissistic leaders are incapable of exercising power without a lot of help. And sure, Trump is a reflection of a significant majority of Americans.

I am so convinced that we are speeding towards our extinction. Unless the messiah comes in the form of science or artificial intelligence then it is all but over. As an…[Read more]

You know, we aren’t talking enough about the causes of the Trumpist movement. He didn’t create it, he awakened it and gave it permission to reveal itself.

Aha, yes, this. And the rest of that post; +1.

[…] Probably true of Trump cultists too. But goddamn i hope it is only a tiny minority. It is scary to contemplate how easily we homos are to manipulation. The plasticity that must have given us a survival advantage is leading us to our extinction.

I’m still hearing of the large numbers of Trump supporters, even after a…[Read more]

Encogitationer, how about you stop skirting the issue and admit that you are mistaken? Or do you have an argument? If so make it.

Otherwise be an adult and admit that the USA ought to emulate nations that handle health care in a more advanced way.

I had a legal assistant who took a job at Marshall’s and she quit when she found out they had a deliberate policy in having their shoplifting checkers (yeah i don’t know the job title) give extra attention to all Black shoppers. She was not a big fan of racism. However she always maintained that smokers were a lower form of life. As soon as a…[Read more]

I’m not saying in your particular case that racism is the problem. What I am saying is that when cashiers can or choose to be selective about when they card people, and they disproportionately do so towards marginalised people…then that IS bigotry in action. It happens subconsciously every day. There are tons of studies which show these…[Read more]

Encogitationer,

My argument is what they are doing works. What we are doing does not.

The rubber/glue is not an argument. Rather it is in response to your name calling nonsense that is autobiographical.

You have responded as your past performances suggested you would. You have nothing to offer. Just ideological tripe…
