  • Yeah but those values develop in response to a world that doesn’t value them. So most people realize that the world doesn’t care about them, so they come to the conclusion that they shouldn’t care about other people. It’s actually not unreasonable.

    It takes a real mature person to understand that those behaviors are the result of the system and to think that the system needs changing.

    What I’m saying is I think it’s possible for these people to be redeemed. We have to give of ourselves more than we’ll get back to teach the world that there are other ways of being that aren’t selfish. And everyone has to be included in that future version of the world.

    This debate is a sign that our democracy is dying. We can’t find a good candidate anywhere in the political spectrum. The Democrats are intentionally incompetent and ineffective.

    But the belief that the system is fixable enough that we can vote our way out of the problem persists. So the proletariat spend the last days of the empire arguing about whether or not voting works and if there are good candidates, meanwhile the bourgeois loot the treasury in preparation for coming collapse.

    Voting in another bourgeois president will not fix any problems. At best, it will delay the inevitable. The system is unfixable. Even if we defeat Trump, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. Even if Kamala had won, the dissatisfaction with the status quo will continue. The political class is incapable of devising effective solutions for the problems of a system they benefit from.

    Something will rise from the ashes of this moment in history, I think it’s time we get started on building that future.
