Collateral Damage in the Trump Fantasy Worlds

Understanding 4chan in light of their role as youthful supporters of Trump and their slide into fascism and white supremacist realms is illuminating. There is a lot in this post that rings true. Completely self-focused losers as a social group links…

This is an excellent article that clearly identifies the problem and uses an understandable label. Coming from a rural fundamentalist background is really the only way to get a full understanding of the frightening reality of these systems of direct personal control. I’ve come to see these religions (Abrahamic and Hindu) as malignant and I don’t…

A Problem Too Big for Our Small Minds

This is a useful article showing the effects of climate change. As is sadly the case the complexity of climate change is beyond the ability of homo sapiens to handle without extensive scientific analysis. The patterns are clear over the last two hundred years and…

The Difference a Week Makes

This is a good piece and as recently as a week ago I would have been encouraged by your recognition that the parties (specifically the Democratic Party here) are finished. That would suggest a new start and a small, outside chance of our political system surviving in some…

I can certainly appreciate your tiredness. This has become all terribly twisted with non-linearity as the new norm. We’ve been watching this develop for years waiting to see what forms it would take but now it’s here and it’s just a tired, pitiful, pain in the ass. We now to need to back up and consider a new entitlement for white cis gendered men…

We Need to Say Goodbye to Those Who Don’t Get It

I’m trying to make myself feel better by writing this. Achieving Type I status as a civilization just got pushed out a ways, I’m afraid. That, of course, is relative and the result of living in the US and watching the collapse of the…

This is superbly researched and presented. I, like many others, have been working to outline the nature of Trump and his manipulators as symptoms of the planetary phase change without the time or resources. Your explanation of the split between the major factions of the extreme capitalist neoliberal world order system works very well from my…

Very good stuff here that I find spot on. Unless I’m mistaken you have the complexity of self martyrdom for career purposes really down. That worries me a lot. I see it as population crowding tied to instantaneous mass communication knowing that while their could be, no one is really listening. Even if they are listening they won’t hear because…

This story is an interesting example of something and I’m not sure quite what. If you read the responses the foundations of this argument were easily taken apart. The data is spurious with graphs unrelated to the last election yet purporting to prove a point about how we all had better be nice to the minority that still supports Trump. Yes, the…

It’s Not a Kid, I Wish It Were

Finally the divorce is out in the open. I’m glad you laid it out on the table.You provided a very good description of the areas of disagreement and the abuses that ultimately destroyed our trust. I’m really impressed by the serious discussion that has taken place here with a…
