We are experiencing the biggest lesson in this right here in the history of the world. You, sir, share the absolute most awesome stuff and I truly appreciate you.
For sure. For all those who feel so superior opting out of voting - this one’s for you. You might be the reason things are as they are! Don’t complain if you don’t vote. Better yet: VOTE! People died fighting for that right. Don’t throw it and your country away. ✊
This is exactly what motivates the oligarchs to buy the government. They don’t want the lazy grunts to suck money out of them through taxation and higher wages.
I'm STILL pissed that some of my relatives refused to vote. It is an honor and your civic duty to vote. I consider their refusal one of the worst things you can do to a country that gives you your freedoms. It is embarrassing!
Elon Musk is a grifters, and never intended to go to Mars. In the end, it turned out that Tesla and SpaceX was necessary only to get money to buy Twitter and start influencing the crowd and hence politics.
Biden is not only an inferior lowlife, career liar, and bigoted corporate puppet,as it turned out, he is also a depraved genocidal piece of 💩
Who incidentally brought us Donald Trump!
I wish more people understood that. And the fact that we live in a functionally two party system so not voting for the rethuglican or democrat means you vote festively is for the one you dislike the most. If that even matters after the reign of Mango Mussolini. Hope we have another election.
I Went into semi-retirement in 2018. Was always too busy teaching to think much about politics, except to vote for the BEST candidate. The rest of my Fam thought I was too hard on Chump during his 1st term. But now, they ALL see it. Especially my wife. The Fam despises him worse than I did...
2/ We raised strong, independent & successful adult daughters. Part is knowing my parents were Greatest Generation. In their mid-late 20s during WW2.
My Dad liberated Nazi Death Camps & mom worked in the State Dept. Every aunt & uncle served. One issue we have is the Greatest Gen. is vanishing.
AMERICA IS NOW A SHITBRAIN SHITHOLE OF STUPIDITY!!!! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A WREAKING BALL. AMERICANS VOTED FOR THEIR FUCKINGGGG DESTRUCTION!!!! WHATA COUNTRY OF STUPID FUCKING MORONS!!!!
You should not let others make you feel like you're inferior without your consent. And not participating in politics is giving inferior people consent to treat you like your inferior.
I'd encourage ppl to stop posting this misleading quote. And not just bc it's out of context & doesn't represent what Plato wrote in the Republic. (He wants penalties to force the best people to govern rather than inferiors holding office.)
Anyhow Plato & his superiors were in bed w/ nasty tyrants.
Plato's Republic was an apologia for oligarchy, dressed up in the guise of just-asking-questions philosophy ('Who's to say everyone wouldn't be much happier if their intellectual superiors were just allowed to be kind of nice & not at all berserk tyrants?')
Absolutely! So many people saying "They don't listen!" Then write them, yell louder, bring signs, bring your friends. Don't sit on the sidelines and wish for change.
LOL. Putting words in peoples' mouths and deflecting all criticism as a gop talking point is an excellent way to win supporters. No wonder dems are hemorrhaging support.
There were intelligent folk back then, and now we've slid down the intelligence scale past dumb, past stupid, past cranial damage, past mental illness, all the way to MAGA!
because "politics" is just a fancy word for "advocating for your own human rights on the social stage" - it's just a big mouthful to say what it really means.

You've fallen for illusion of choice that you think you have.
Cast your meaningless ballots with your little pen and paper, see how much doesn't change.

Plato was right!
He says he's better than everyone.
"I alone can fix this!" Real quote.
He's "smarter" than the generals than the economists, than all professions.
Seems to work for him?
You're copy pasting.
