If James Capra sees the 1984 US deficit swelling to "200 billion or more" wait til he gets to 2025.

Scattershot artist

Scattershot artist It's hard to tell these days what people believe or, worse, why they believe what they believe. If you start with the most commonplace issue people might have, such as homelessness or inflation and move through the spectrum to international issues, such as internecine warfare and genocides, every person seems to have a lot of opinions but with little knowledge. Our governments, both local and federal are so complicated and corrupted around the use of monies and influence, it's a wonder anything at all gets done, which usually doesn't. Money influences everything, mostly in a negative way. Yes, in today's world, governments must have money, contractors must be promised money, businesses must be at least profitable to keep the owners heads above water, families have to pay bills, and federal expenditures are, of course, necessary to maintain annual budgets. Simple enough. Everybody needs money, so who gets to decide where everybody's money g...

It seems like it took forever. Finally laying to rest the notion I had something to do to the conversation. I couldn't imagine the final chapter, the one where everybody died or only the bad ones, glorifying good over and over again. This is the story of how that happened. It was 2025. My life seemed over enough to be able to translate it into some sort of meaning. The hostages were being released, thus finally giving clarity to evil. I never believed in evil until now, I mean not overnight but like it being captured in a cage I could understand. I did want to see the horrors gone, for them who suffered them, certainly not for me, where they resided inside like a bullet laced with yellow phosphorus that just kept boring through flesh and bone but would never leave. That's when I started asking everyone, I knew who had lived, is it worth it? If god is judge jury executioner, i can accept that, there's nothing i can do about it except it, wait my turn but why...

The individual, the society, and violence

The individual, the society, and violence Individuals have opinions. Society, which is composed of many individuals with many different opinions, has responsibilities to itself to maintain a certain level of safety, well being, organization, consistency (stability). In a free society, individuals should and should be able to express their opinions without punishment, isolation, or retribution. When society is threatened, either from within or without, to such an extent that the institutions established to maintain order, to maintain that certain level of safety, security, themselves turn to violence, then both revolutionary violence and fascistic violence occurs. Revolutionary violence is that violence which becomes necessary to defend the general idealistic principles by the people who are resisting the fascistic violence, which is destabilizing the society. Fascistic violence is that violence and rhetoric which divides, compromises any establishment of order and stability. Opinion...

It's not that we disagree, it's what we want done about it. Let's take the example of an anti abortionist feminist and a freedom of choice feminist. What's the difference? An anti-abortion feminist (one who believes in gender, after all aren't we all created equal in gods' eyes? (An equality of spirit at least). Maybe not, but why not? Those who believe we are god's creation, and i suppose those who want to believe we are gods creation yet continue to divide up what they mean by it so it will fit into their individual belief that we are god's creation. For example, the critical question of most agnostics and atheists or non-believers is, why is the life abroad or next door, somehow different, hanged in the tree or bombed in their home or forced to give up their life, different than the fetus in the womb? Innocence is the difference, the anti abortionist might say in their defense. But isn't innocence contained in the children of the hanged, the m...

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen writers. Despite its origins, I recognized some truths in it that set examples of why it should happen but will ultimately be a disaster and why if it doesn't, it will also be a disaster. First of all, there are truths exposed. It seems that prior to Oct 7th, 2023, Hamas was taking the stance of defending their Palestinian heritage from further military encroachment by Israel, which had been taking place since the Mandate. On Oct 7th, the waters were clearly muddied by the absence of what really happened, by both the invaders and the always prepared Israeli propaganda response. Meanwhile, Hamas retreated back to its tunnels and a defensive posture, making the attack seem as if it was merely an exercise in military strategy with no real significant purpose in furthering Palestinian prospects for statehood, if there is even such a thing. It only enraged the Zionists full time desire to complete their greater Is...

The Universe

The universe looks pretty good from here. Why do we want to go mess everything up out there too? We just want to fick everything up. There's already a stratospheric layer of scrap metal and radioactive waste circling above us ready to fall anytime gravity says so. I know a few artists that would love to turn that into something more akin to art rather than leaving it chicken little artifice. The sky is falling. Or it will be. Trump. The Prince. Netanyahu may be the harbingers of evil we've been secretly waiting for but don't recognize until it's too late or all three have that stupid glazed look of ignorance and hate and crooked smiles to boot. If there's any Jew in America who is still thankful for the 1948 Accords that gave Israel a homeland and the reason to isolate themselves from the outside world with walls, there will be many neo fascists who will shake their hand for lending a helping hand in the biggest suicide mission in history outside of lemming biologi...

Too Big to Fail

-
I don't believe in religion, faith, hope, charity, or generic progressive politics as a recipe to prevent mob fascism. Fascism relies on a form of populism, much like passive progressivism, to gain power but also utilizes political, and/or military power, distains legal and institutional/constitutional establishment, an attribute that feeds into the natural authoritarian element in the human brain. We humans, unfortunately, have over the years become immune to accepting our freedom and independence as worth fighting for, both individually and socially, as authoritarians (the medias euphemism for fascism) but also charismatic personalities, have sometimes quietly and not so quietly, come to the forefront of politics to usurp our rights. If there's one thing clear, fighting for freedom is not only a right but a necessity in the human created political jungle we have surrounded ourselves with. A series of politicians, religious leaders, and more recently, wealthy, very wealthy, pr...
