  15. ​ @animalfarm7467  Come on. It's hard to take you seriously. First, you imply that you read the definitive rebuke of the American brand of Liberal-Conservativitism/Conservative-Liberalism, to which all post-WW2 POTUS's -- from Truman to Nixon, Reagen to Clinton, and Bush to Trump to Biden -- have adhered. Second, you claim to agree with the rebuke. Third, you even took the time to copy and paste the rebuke. And then, you ask if the author -- whose rebuke of Clinton's Conservative-Liberalism/Liberal-Conservatism you claim to agree with -- is a Clinton-Liberal? I don't bet that a one-word answer would shut you up. As for Goodman. She, like King, has extensive archives of the work she's contributed. It shows a childish naivete or lack of critical thinking skills to imply that Goodman hasn't received threats similar to those delivered to King. (I've had my life threatened several times by right-wingers in the past few years, and I'm a nobody. So I'm sure Goodman has too, and from more sources than I.) Goodman doesn't need me to defend her, and I don't need to justify my accounting of her on my list to you. But, I'll give you a logical progression that might explain why Goodman isn't what you want her to be. 1a) King does his thing. 2a) King gets told by 3-letter agencies. 3a) King DOESN'T obey. 4a) King DOES get rolled for doing his thing. 1b) Amy does her thing. 2b) Amy gets told by 3-letter agencies. 3b) Amy DOES obey. 4b) Amy DOESN'T get rolled and lives on to do as much of her thing as she's able. 5) You (a) celebrate King in his death while you fear your own, and you (b) curse Amy's life while you waste your own. It seems like a pretty clear case of prioritizing self-preservation, which I find to be a prominent common trait among folks who don't share the same faith, nor level thereof, that King had. I won't fault her for that. Nor will I exclude the high quality of her past work just because I don't know her motives behind the reasoning for her more recent work. We all have blood on our hands. Some by a commission and some by omission. Some by complacency and apathy, and some by reservation and preservation. There is a song called 'Getting Old' by Satsang. Some of the lyrics go, "But if there's blood on my hands, then can I still preach" -- I say yes. Even if Goodman isn't what you want her to be, she can still contribute value. Just because she isn't contributing the way you want her to, that doesn't mean that she is no longer valuable. Frankly, your previous engagements make it seem like you're not interested in any probable reality other than the one you've concocted in your own mind. Further, you seem like a right-wing troll who repeatedly asks the same question as if you're trying to waste the time of better people who are against your right-wing, American Liberal-Conservative/Conservative-Liberal, authoritarianism. You seem like the fools and knaves from the Trump Administration whom Liberal-Robert Reich wrote and spoke about some years back. Either your comprehension skills aren't as lofty as you believe (meaning you're a fool), or your writing/acting skills are terrible (meaning you're a knave). Whether you're a fool or a knave, Libservative or Conservibral, neither is anything to be proud of. I never wasted ANY of my time voting for Jeffery Epstein's friends Donald Clinton and Bill Trump, and I won't waste any more of my time on you. Good day, sir. (Insert your response here.) I SAID GOOD DAY.

  36. "This shit is unreal. Wtf..." I know this sounds cliche, but the worst has yet to come. If the cyclical, repetitive and rhyming nature of history are any indicators of the future -- which they are -- then we have only just begun. The wealthy-class has been planning forever, conspiring on how to utilize their resources to create the worst conditions imaginable for the working-class. The wealthy-class minority will continue their economic mob-rule over the working-class majority. The wealthy-class will never give up their addictions, and they will do whatever they can to compel the working-class into producing those addictions. The depths of imposed-despair that can be manufactured by the wealthy-class, coupled with the displays of impoverished-derangement that can be committed by the working-class, have barely scratched the surface. The working-class will 'act out' as oppressed and desperate people and animals do. The misplaced rage of the more vicious members of the working-class aimed against the more vulnerable members of the working-class is nowhere near the extent it can reach. Rather than rising up against the conniving wealthy-class oppressors, the co-opted dupes of the working-class will turn against their working-class mates. The wealthy-class will use their wealth to purchase the services of working-class dupes to act as buffers between their working-class mates and the wealthy-class masters. That means more working-class cops patrolling other working-class humans confined in crumbling communities. It means more torturous working-class guards enslaving other working-class humans in concrete cages. It means more working-class soldiers conscripted into conquest against other working-class soldiers. All of these things -- policing, prisons, perturbation, and pugnacity -- are done at the behest and to the benefit of the wealthy-class overlords. More ignorance. More fear. More anger. More hate. More sabotage. More violence. More death. More genocide. I don't say this to discourage you, but to warn you, prepare you, and, if at all possible, encourage you. These things have happened before -- history holds the keys to the knowledge of the future -- and they are happening again. Much love and peace to you and yours in these difficult times.
