The key word is humanity. Charles Darwinβs theory βsurvival of the fittestβ is wrong it should be βthe survival of the best teamβ. Humanity is dependent on the strength of our associations. The strength of Family, social, team, community, and country determines the survival of humanity.
We are overall more collaborative than competitive.
Through the magic of Liberal Socialism, even healthy competition can be good for society.

If you have half an hour which is a big ask in this platform of fellow ADHD brains like me it REALLY hammers it home.
Notable is many white people in former Confederate states were against Jim Crow more than many realised because they were AFRAID to be honest with each other

I am as a person very much this description by Sir Clement Attlee of Sir Winston Churchill but minus the backwards parts of his character and chronic alcoholism. Also sans his profound achievements too I suppose.
A historically very complex, previously very wrongheaded man who did improve. Anyway.πππ»
Winston Churchill, right man at the right time. Sometimes it takes a bastard to lead.
Much as I couldn't stand her I still maintain that Thatcher would have led us through the COVID pandemic far more effectively than Johnson, or most PM's who came after her for that matter.
He was a fair bit of a cunt but he was a soldier of the English Empire.
Despite that
He was too wealthy to be corrupt oddly enough.
I don't worship him unlike the Hard Right.
I don't call him a traitor like the ultras.
Literally walked hundreds of miles to escape the Boers

I met a Stalin Did Nothing Wrong type

Quelle surprise.
Russian Communism is the illegitimate child of Karl Marx and Catherine the Great.
Attlee.
Solitary trees, if they grow at all, they grow strong.
Churchill.
"..is wrong, but the love of money for it's sake.
Margaret Thatcher.π
I have heard that he wouldn't have got his card from The Bricklayers Union if he hadn't been, well, Winston Churchill.
The work he submitted was a bit subpar.
Decent watercolourist though.
Winston Churchill was a bastard! His attack on the Ottoman emipire killed 100 000 or more men!
Was he the right man for the right time to save U.K? Probably, but he still was a bastard.
As I like to say:
Captain Clement Attlee would send the European Research Group down the coalmines for five years to teach them the value of blood toil tears and sweat.
Nasty Thatcher of Law and Order would've sent them down the DUNGEONS.
Churchill would feed them to enemy arty & let his God decide!

Sorry, itβs an American thing. Al Franken was a comedian turned Democratic senator who was forced to resign because of a picture from his comedy days. Republicans can commit fraud and rape and still get elected. Both sides are not the same.
Yes I call out the tiny minority of ignorant Far Left CRINGE because it needs to be done.
US Democrats aren't remotely Far Left & the corrupted GOP REALLY ARE Fifth Columnist, Third Positionist ENTRYIST COUP COMMITTING NEO NAZIS.

Iβm starting to think that this whole left/right nonsense, is just that. Itβs confusing. How βbout we just stick to fascist and non-fascist. That way when people ask who are the fascists in your country? You can just reply, the people who act like fascists. oh, before I forget. Happy Christmas.
Exactly. Literally every CONCEPT including ramping up polarisation between the wings, that can be weaponised us against us has.
That is Non Linear Warfare in a nutshell. Else here's available clues from credible sources. EVERYONE v neo-nazis for now it's only way out! https://bsky.app/profile/horseshoepartyuk.bsky.social/post/3ldvnswbodk2j
This also explains part of the polarisation weβve been living with people supporting political parties and politicians, the same way they support sports teams and sports people.π§

While we currently have to pick a side, It should never have come to this
Does it promote a future where we all flourish ('we' includes the entire web of life) that we'd be proud to bequeath to the generations yet unborn?
