First I read yesterday about semi-president Elon Musk reaching out to the German extreme-right AFD to help them and several hours later someone (an Arab, but presumably sympathisant of the AFD) drove into a crowd. Coincidence? Don't underestimate fascists.

We think we are smart because we follow everything on social media. But we are braindead slaves picking up doggy biscuits that guys like Trump and Biden and Rutte and Macron etc. etc. are throwing at us. We are stupid, we vote, over and over again. How stupid can you be?

I've been watching "The godfather" again, for the tenth time (I believe) and I enjoyed it só much. Neither Trump, Biden, Putin, Xi or even my wife can compete with the satisfaction this movie gives me (please don't tell her) www.imdb.com/title/tt0068...

It's crazy that money can influence elections, 99% are not wealthy, but the 1% determines the outcome. Today's democracy is a joke, nothing democratic about it.

We glued happiness to achieving material goals, once we reach that goal we find that happiness jumped over to something that we do not have. And that goes on and on. Meanwhile we could have achieved happiness a long time ago if we were able to free us from the algorithm that predestined our lifes.

We think we live in a democracy and therefore have influence, but it's a mask, we live in a plutocracy: whatever we vote for, it's always for some greedy rich who are not willing to change anything for the good of the people.

I do not believe, but if you do: shouldn't you then respect and love all of the Creators' children? What line in your bible gives you the right to go sit on His chair and kill another human being?

Our society is run by a managerial bureaucracy, by professional politicians; people are motivated by mass suggestion, their aim is producing more and consuming more, as purposes in themselves. Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving (1956)
