Jumping Jimminy! One of my college English lit courses spent 4 full weeks on Donne. It was all his religious poems, certainly not this.

This from the "we" who called Higgs-Boson the blasphemous gd particle but make the joke more popular as the misunderstood "god particle" that eventually became most conceptualized as "the God particle?

It seems a better expenditure than flinging cars into outer space, but that's just me. 🤷

Holy Mary, Joseph and Jesus, overdramatize and wallow in self-victimization, won't you? I did not call you a monster. I will not dehumanize very, very human behavior. It's distasteful, even foul, but it is human.

You would give the masters everything while insisting wage slaves continue to beg for scraps. There are other, more effective options. You might search some up and stop being so fragile long enough to do so. Not Breitbart or ONN either. Neither CNN nor even MSN. Go left. Global left.

I'd imagine there's a lot more we agree on. We just don't agree on solutions. We've been so used to our invisible cages, we can't imagine the world beyond them without coaching, coaxing and encouragement, but it can be done.

Eta and in this instance, I agree with your solution.

That's not normal. It's sick and selfish. And I say that yes, with love for you and my homeland. It's not hate to want my neighbor in the hospital on life support to get well, but it may be selfish if they don't fully recover. It's not hate to want my alcoholic family members to get well. It's not hate to want my diabetic neighbors to check their blood sugar and help find them affordable insulin. And it's not crazy to expect my fellow citizens to not be sociopathic, fearful, or accept a false scarcity.

I'm with you there.

Corporate greed is why no one can afford anything. There's no scarcity either. It's a matter of logistics, but that's going to quickly change if the very well off people and corporations don't curb their insatiable appetites, and that can be done with the 50s era 93% tax rates on very high individual earners and adding that same rate to megacorporations. No more tax cuts for donating to self-serving, self -directed "philanthropic" causes anymore, either. That tax money can be used to clean up the environment, well - feed, educate, home and health for EVERY individual at the same providers. No campaign donations of any form, fashion or sort. Campaigns are debates and past voting history, only, and every broadcast radio station and television station will be required to air them multiple times. Every print newspaper too, and taxes can fund that. No corporate or wealthy lobbiests.

Then let's see how charitable the wealthy really are.

I know I'm not alone, but it's so nice when others show public solidarity. Thank you so much. 🤝 ✊

because for some reason he was on some “the globalist elites are going to do a depopulation!” kick, which makes no sense because generally the powers that be love having as many consumerist slaves as possible

I mean, reproductive and other health care, including medicines are out of reach for most of us, as well as a healthy diet, healthy and safe living space, not to mention transportation and safe working conditions or work at all if you have transportation or health issues, and social security/Medicare are only for specific ages and don't pay enough, and disability practically requires you to have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, and many die trying to get it. No one need worry about any other mass extermination program and body disposal is on the family or criminal penalties. Don't expect the government to handle that either.

I'm done with the project requiring me to keep Windows. But going back to Linux after 15 years is like starting new. Ik mint was always considered one of the best for novices. Any others?
