Good start for saving the Democratic Party. Obviously Trump is finished. People are appalled at the idiocy and nonstop disasters. We have the saving grace of a surging global economy built on cheap labor and the Obama foundation that the trumpists haven’t destroyed yet. There’s a lot to be said for gross incompetence and the self destructive force…

I wish it weren’t so but it is. Thank you for this, obviously, heartfelt lament and the honesty to explain why that relationship had to be cut. Much more of that is happening and must happen. The emerging acceptance of a racist, misogynist scum as an usurping ruler is the final death blow to what America thought it was. And in the end this country is…

Damn, that’s good. Sure wish I had said it. What I have been saying is that we are in this up to our necks and the US is going down the shitter as fast as the Sociopathic Party can flush. If we don’t stop allowing the whiny white, religionist asshole minority to commit stupid on the whole planet we deserve what we get, too. This country is gone…

There is much that is useful here and rational discussion is needed. My own policy is always to respond to someone who makes a serious statement based on an effort to understand what is happening.

The foundation of what I, at least, an talking about is evolution. Also anyone familiar with evolutionary biology and ethics…

Yes, bigotry, that is strongly racist for American society, is the chronic illness that is allowing opportunistic infections to grow. I personally don’t think the 18th century body politic will survive this. The markets are deformed and continue to grow but bizarrely disconnected from the collapsing political structure. But that is actually common…

I’m very interested in how we become comfortable, I think finding beauty is correct, in spontaneous orders as an essential foundation to building more appropriate diverse social orders. To me this is critical and is the basis for freedom and civilization as we achieve complexity far beyond our own ability to understand.

You have touched an important issue. But on your main point I agree it is not subtle or particularly premeditated but it can continuously be used to create a platform from which to justify some sort of superiority.

The prevalence of single issues, of whatever type, are now a major and growing problem. Whatever the value, if…

The key is how entangled we are with sex and race . . .

In all the confusion here the statement on the complete entanglement of racism and sexism is fundamental to understanding the social transformation we are experiencing. And, it would appear, the cause of much of the discussion. Both…
