So, it's 'really hard to have clarity and difficult as hell to decipher'... but you chastise Gary for struggling to see clearly.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:16 pmMore accurately the larger body of people are struggling in darkness to understand the on-going power-struggles. So much information, true, false, half-true half-false, circulates that it is really hard to have clarity.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 2:57 pm We're trying to figure out our own problems in our own way.
Also, if you are an example of a citizen “figuring out” things I think you illustrate my point. You seen benighted. You struggle to even begin to see clearly. Certain ideas seem to scare you from examining them. You are a jumble of confused impulses.
It’s huge really. And interconnected. And difficult as hell to decipher. And then interpretation is a zone of conflict and intense disagreement.
And this is what you claim you can do because you're so brilliant and uniquely insightful.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:16 pmHowever, the proposition that the Nation is at a juncture of real and dangerous conflict — that is a good place to start our examination of “why” this has come about.
Why does Walker rely almost exclusively on far-right news sources and opinions... and why do you say that's worth considering seriously? Neither one of you is balanced in your views... I wonder how that is serving you... since the truth is somewhere in the middle. You identify enemies and then ignore seeing from any other angle. Most people are basically good. Seeing them as enemies is extraordinarily foolish and perpetuates mindless conflict based on skewed thinking that serves certain egos and certain players.
The best way to stop the circus is to rise up TOGETHER against the ring-leaders. They've managed to split us into camps so that we think the enemies are amongst ourselves, then we destroy each other instead of them... while they stay rich, powerful, and immovable.
I agree... and I think it's serious for everyone. I think most people (regardless of affiliations) recognize the unsustainable systems that much of our lives are built on, and they want change... and are willing to face the rough ride because they know we can't continue on using the same patterns. They are courageous... unlike those who still seek to promote divisiveness for their own egos and the inflexible thinking they are reliant on.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sat Sep 23, 2023 3:16 pmAnd all sorts of trouble lies immediately ahead. The game being played (enacted) is extremely serious for those with invested interest in it.
