I agree with this post you made. If the best we can do is vote into office a fairly old, out-of-tuoch president who has done a moderately decent job of running the United States, then it’s a lose-lose situation for everyone. Politics especially in the United States has become too boring and safe. We need to take a risk on Cornell West and spice the game up a bit. Else we’ll repeat the same mistakes we’ve been making for the past 50 years.
Edit; pls forgive my passion posting, whoops. Point is we need a shake up cuz stuff is going down the drain a little
Ooh, thanks for your analysis! I never considered the “lack of choices” perspective.
I will just say it has always been an observation that degrees in humanities and the social sciences augment math and acience and help us understand ourselves and the world. We need more imagination and introspection from the liberal arts so that we can implement the ideas in real life with nore technical math and science degrees.
Locked, loaded, and ready to fire! I am sorry about decreasing your faith in humanity, and sorry if I throw a lot at you.
And here are a few to restore your faith:
Happy watching, and keep dreaming!
If you’re more interested, a YouTuber over here went over PragerU propaganda in this kids show, and I think it shows something important about how propaganda can present a certain world view as well as hide it. Prager U For Kids: A Horrible YouTube Channel
Yesssssss!
Lol, what if out of spite we basically created a “woke” cooperative that actually sold good stuff? We’d get media for free: good press from our service and good backlash media from opponents.
Why does this remind me of Publix? I smell a lawsuit coming…and fraud
Hmmm…interestinf point…is there a way to break down this deeply-embeeded fear?
This. There are A LOT of errors and fallacies which the brain makes, and oftentimes those can be used by bad actors to influence, nudge, and manipulate the person into doing something. While I understand there is a certain level of accountability that needs to be enforced, we should keep in mind the puppetmaster whom we often do not see in the background can do more harm because they are more deeply embedded and have more implicit power that needs to be uncovered and stopped.
“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens.” – a stage play based on George Orwell’s 1984
Striking line–now we just have to figure out how to get people off their screens and onto streets.
Welp, I wasn’t even going to go see Barbie, but now I’ll go to watch it just out of spite lol.
Agreed, and this couldn’t be said better. This made me angry just reading it, that we still have some parts of the country living like its the mid 1900s.
I’m sorry, did you meant the “checks and balances” that will be cashed for lobbying against the common interest of citizens? /j
I disagree, although I can definitely see where you are coming from. Places like Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi are still dealing with outright racism in some areas. There was even astory I read about a town that had a white okigarchy which wouldn’t give its black resudents mayorship. The South, while seeming like it won’t change, will eventually have to. There are a lot of demographic shifts happening here that will force it to change some. Not to mention a growing labor movement, awareness of clinate change, and growing activism to address social issues that will increasingly put pressure on local and stare governments. So, yes, it will take time to correct the inertia of the status quo, but it’s possible.
