we've lost entirely because we are unwilling to engage each other in political discourse and instead view each other as potential career building steps, and value the economic opportunity we see in each other more than the community and society we exist in together. It's a brilliantly underhanded world we've built in service of the Empire. But the execution still isn't bulletproof. We can still turn back and say "What matters more is a just world and a direct communication with each other" "Oh Josh, you can have both, you just have to select your inner circle where as everyone else is a networking for your career" I'm not convinced that leads to a better world. The rewards for submission to American Empire are vast and can be masked as fulfilling.
If you are furious about how our federal government is treating immigrants, recognize that they treat every human who non-violently resists the goals of the United States the same way, and the goals of our nation are not grounded in compassion and justice, but supremacy. On the faith that our supremacy is moral, And they convince us that every policy and civil rights win is proof of our claims as just rulers of the world. When all they actually are doing is wielding them as a tool to weaponize us for their goals. And as soon as those goals are met, civil rights go back on the chopping block. As we saw with Roe v Wade.

Both are slaves to a mindset. The system loves to point to the former as a warning, and tell the lie to the latter that they could potentially advance. IT's true, advancement is possible for the latter, but only if they are willing to leave others behind. Your advancement comes at a cost of refusal to acknowledge what you've taken from others. It's a brilliant insidious little system. Its chains are groundwork to maintain itself. Whenever i hear "You expect others to do work for you" all i can hear from that person is that they expect to never acknowledge the wealth opportunity they've taken from others. The stock market pays dividends from the stolen labor of its workers. The Military is wielded to pro...
