I believe the forced birth policies demonstrate that they look at us as no more than livestock. We are the servant class being forced to supply the elite class with more servants.
I’ve never been under any illusion that I wasn’t a cog in the machine. They treated me well enough for the most part (there’s always bad managers that are just fucking morale killers), but I decided to retire a few years early and take less money in Social Security because dying at my desk was a non-option. Zero regrets.

I have been saying the same things for awhile. People in my MAGA state of Missouri give me a vibe that my ideas are insane. Thanks for the validation. I needed that
All this talk of who is doing what to whom. Bottom line is Trump will not follow the constitution. Trump will cost lives. Your freedom, your democracy, your ability to think. Do you want Trump telling your kids how and what to think. Instead of just Hitler think of East Germany and what they went through.
No matter what you think of Biden he will follow the rules and laws of this country. You will still have free speech. You won't have the Proud Boys roaming free. You won't have to worry if you or your family is going to wind up in a concentration camp today.
I was going to say, the choice is clear, but in thinking about it there is no choice. It is as simple as this. With Trump you will have nothing. With Biden you will still have your freedoms, your country, and you will still have the opportunity to change things. If you don't like the way the government and the world is then do something about it. Don't just complain get involved. Don't let people like Trump, the Christian Nationalists and their plans for OUR COUNTRY tell you how to live and think. This is a defining moment in history. Do you want to see the end of democracy of freedom in this country. If you vote for tRump then you will have what you want but you will have plunged the rest of us into the same hell hole with you. WE don't want that. We who love our freedoms and our country. Those of us who went off and fought for this country know what cost freedom is. tRump is the worst thing for America and the world. This time may be your last time. If tRump gets in there will be no freedom no democracy just a dictator for life.
If you think for one minute that tRump is going to be good for this country what about your children. Especially your daughters. No birth control no say over so many aspects of her health care no defense against rape.
I did think of one good thing that tRump will do. He and his pals will get richer as they run, not only this country but world along with it, into the ground. If you want clean air and water don't look to tRump to do anything for you. In fact whatever your problem don't look to tRump to help. He is only going to help himself and the 1% to get richer off of your hard work. The situation could not be clearer. With Biden we have a chance with tRump you will get tyranny, no freedoms no hope for a better world. It all comes down to tRump and his greed, and that of the people behind him. Think and think again.
Yes! Love the picture! If I were a billionaire I’d take out a full page ad and put that picture in every newspaper and magazine in this country! Burger King should use it in an ad! All that’s missing is a Diet Coke 😝
Ever since social security benefits came into being, benefits created by virtue of you paying into the system when you can find work, the ruling class chose to stigmatise making a claim to deter you from claiming what was yours. They called it the 'dole' and called you a 'scrounger.' Even now, as a pensioner, the pension I receive is pathetic. What's worse is that they now call it a social security benefit, an unearned one at that. What they would really like is for me to die asap so as not to pay me my money, money I and my employers paid into the system. They are a disgrace.
I’ve always believed that our system is just modern feudalism, and I think that in both medieval and modern times, religion serves as just what Marx said, “The opiate of the people.”
The Christian Bible was essentially created and adjusted at the Nicene councils, hundreds of years after Christ. I believe that some reverse engineering occurred to keep poor people under control. The most egregious topic is the bit about how it’s almost impossible for rich people to get into heaven, which essentially means that poor people will get their reward in eternity, so it’s okay for the rich to abuse the poor because their reward is finite.
Going forward with this, the peasants toiled in the fields and lived in gross poverty, while the rich, including the clergy whose teachings would reinforce the message of eternal reward, lived in fabulous luxury. Today isn’t much different.
Having created the idea of “work ethic” that seems only to apply to the 99 percent, we are constantly told that we must relentlessly improve our work, while the “leaders” gather the lion’s share of the wealth we’ve created, because it’s never enough.
They won’t hesitate to cut jobs any time that they can accumulate more wealth by doing so. Hence the urgency with which they pursue and fund AI. AI isn’t being created to make life better, it’s main purpose is to replace the human as a working unit because the more humans that AI can replace, the more wealth that the Oligarchs can horde.
I don’t worry about AI deciding to kill us as a species; I worry about what the oligarchs will decide to do with the rest of us, since we will no longer be needed for wealth creation and will only be individual cost centers that don’t support anything the rich need. Maybe they’ll use us for some kind of entertainment. Gladiator lll anyone?

Exactly! The true meaning of "be fruitful and multiply" is "Breed! The king needs more soldiers, more workers, more tax payers, more money."

Thanks for the kind feedback! That means a lot to me. If you'd like to help me reach more people, please share it. Thank you! ❤️

Sent it to my brother who says "Where do you get your information? You sound borderline psychotic" I'm educating him.
I’m grateful, Sheila - and I hope that he will be, as well. We do what we can….

Yes! Wake up, people!

Excellent piece. And very true.
The quotes are all spot on! Amazing that writers from Orwell to Buffet all got it perfectly but the MAGA dweebs can’t see past their beers.
When in the white house his serving a visiting award winning sport team mcdonalds like they would think that was special. Boy, i dont know?
It’s specific I’ll to him and being how he is , everyone shares his culinary preferences.
The Warren Buffet quote says it all!
Just starting on your piece here but I have to compliment the pic. Wow that says so much….👏🏻👏🏻
