Thank you. I hope the Empire collapses and something better rises - a system where all people everywhere are given an equal flourishing start, a system where nurturing is valued more than greed or usurping, where people don't leap frog over one another....where oppression isn't possible, where extermination for expansion is unimaginable, a system where people live alongside nature rather than dominating nature, where there is an excellent free public system of education, and health, where all people have housing, a system based on values of compassion and care - a system where the sociopaths aren't automatically handed the keys to world domination.

And the option to vote for better candidates not the lesser evil.

I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but permit me to repeat myself yet again. Those who insisted that they couldn't vote for "Genocide Joe" or his VP (Kamala) ignored the harsh reality: that Trump is infinitely worse than anything the DemocRats have to offer. We must learn to vote for the lesser of two evils -- and to recognize that we may never get to vote again.

So be content with the crumbs we are tossed, is it, beg and scrape and hope our masters are generous and kind...

Sadly, yes (in my opinion), though it appears we must agree to disagree.

This is not the right approach and nor is Trump infinitely worse. He represents nothing more than continuation of the US empire's demise. The proof is that in all significant areas there is little difference; the only difference is at the margins and letting yourself get caught up in debates such as "was Trump rude to Zelensky in the Whitehouse" is falling for the sideshow that keeps the partisan masses focused on trivia while the ship sinks.

But there's a third way. You know what it is.

No; I do not. Please articulate it for me.

What sickens me most of all is seeing one of the most wicked men who ever lived - Netanyahu - holding a photo of two dead Israeli children killed almost certainly by Israel’s relentless bombing. The IDF invents the lie that Hamas killed with “bare hands” whatever that means. Depraved cynicism, toxic deception, Hitlerian racism, grotesque psychopathy.

This issue of ignoring judge orders is of great concern if this continues unabated. I am no law expert so I am wondering what is being done to counter this dangerous game.
