Is it so much more vile or do you want to see it that way? Corruption is corruption...and it happens on both sides of the aisle. Whether we want to admit that based on the team we pick is another matter.

It's called Capitalism

@zazen@Leo Gura it's important to remember that our country needs to be structured the way it is (capitalism) for freedom. If it wasn't, then a Musk couldn't even emerge to begin with. So while you sit and throw sticks from your white tower note that the current structure of government made it possible for you to sit back in your tower and toss spitballs. So while we bash Musk we should be grateful a Musk could exist. We didn't like that a Musk couldn't exist and now that he exists we want to cry about how it's all muffled up. But in truth you have the same opportunities he does - we all do. I'll take a Musk in exchange for the ability to be a Musk.

No different than any other corporation. New management comes in they clean house to ensure their success. If you don't you are leaving holes that can be used against you later when you fail. Trump is trying to ensure success. Make no mistake he really believes he is Making America great again.. I'm not sure he will but I'm just speaking from his perspective. All people come from a place of goodness. One of Leo's episodes but it rings true here. I have to bite the bullet and say that Hitler meant well too..from his perspective. His perspective however, includes him.

I don't know the interviews with Joe Rogan just killed it for me. Him getting stoned with Rogan...besides- you're dreaming him up.

You still have the ability in this country to make as much money as you want to make - and vote for the person you want. Or even run if you want to. It's open to you if you want it. I'd say its a still a pretty good place to live. Yeah..you're still gonna be investing in corporations..but you don't have to be loyal to them.

It's not worth it. Its just a dream.

Until he can fix the bird flu im not going to worry about him. I've better things to do. A guy ninth in Diablo isn't worth it. He would have to have beaten God of War and could wield a good game of Chess before I took him seriously.

Yes. On the pain thing i wouldn't call it suffering until it becomes chronic pain. Chronic pain is a form of suffering because you're constantly dealing with it. Now whether you are suffering existentially is another matter but all of us can get frustrated with anything chronic. It's how we choose to rise above this suffering. Awakening resolves all of this.

The independents always lose in this country.

Well, to your point, either way, we evolve. Rather than taking sides all of us should look to that evolution. I like it.

Most of the times they took it by force.

Perhaps the galactic empire will prevail and Dark Lord Sidious will rule with a generous hand.

Of course. But I'd still take the latter. A benevolent monarch that bestowed his love on you to me is a slap in the face. Are we supposed to bend the knee and take his benevolence? You could say we are doing that now with Trump but the people wanted that. So you can't really argue with it.

Who they couldn't vote out. We have a vote here. You voted Trump in.

I get what you are saying But remember why the colonies revolted against Britain in the Revolutionary war. That was because of a monarch. They wanted to have their own control.

I don't know what games Leo was playing but trust me you don't want any type of monarch, benevolent or no...unless you want to go back to the dark ages.

Huh? Did anyone teach you politics. So if democracy got stronger there could be a monarch?

I thought it was because America is a democracy. There's a congress. So I guess benevolent monarchs are out.

Bro you don't think the democratic party is corrupt? Biden is so corrupt the only way he sleeps at night is via dementia.

Lol. You think an enlightened being would be a monarch. Ask Marcus Aurelius. Maybe he was but he knew better.

We'll see..because the floor is his. He's not going to tire in Trump's eyes He has more influence now than he ever will. I don't think he'll ever run because of the autism.

That's what I mean. A guy like him has to have complete control to really be a threat politically.

If he actually got into politics I'd be worried about this psycho. But outside of that whether he jerks off to hairy pussys or not is of little concern.

@Thought Art @Leo Gura you don't think that all of this paranoia is a little off base. That's perry strong words. He will gut you. He is a fascist. We're screwed.
