    It is discussed openly - how to do it again and again and again, discussed over and over ad nauseum, like Kansas going bankrupt repeatedly, or how other states hear how Florida is doing and say “wowie, lemme try that too!” (while expecting the exact opposite outcome, bc “this time will be different”) If you don’t want to take my words at face value alone, check out the YouTube channel Innuendo Studios that has some amazing content especially The Alt Right Playbook.

    The problem is that collectively, as a society, we are very dumb. In fact it is entirely possible that we are too stupid to survive, but I guess we’ll see. We cannot control others though, and it remains to be seen whether we will bother to control ourselves to do what is correct, i.e. to git sum edumacashun ourselves and make a better alternative.

      We are far too stupid individually.

      And we think communism and socialism are bad.

      So corporations and oligarchs take everything.

        Communism and socialism are bad, it’s just that so is everything else, but not equally so.

        Democracy and capitalism bear the cost of remaining eternally vigilant, which we have failed refused to do.
