I get what you’re saying, but I think without that protection it’s pretty likely he’d be killed in prison.

USA doesn’t control the source of the problem, which are random-ass civil wars that occur in Central America or South America.

Interesting, if largely incorrect opinion.

If voting stopped corruption there would no longer be corruption.

China is also leading the renewable push, and has made massive innovations in participatory democracy.

Anywhere I can read about this?

B-B-Bbut I thought Biden was going to stop the fascism? If the vote is for slow descent into fascism and literal fascism, does the vote really matter? There’s gotta be something better, man. Very disheartening.

That’s very interesting, thanks. The whole tone of the second article seems so much different than how we talk about our “democracy” in Canada, where I am from. We talk about it here as a form of prestige (“Canada is so good, we’re democratic, unlike those Asian countries”), where that article made it sound like they were celebrating how it helps the people. At least that’s my vibe.

Now that I think of it, I have no idea how their governance works. We’re just sorta guided to think the communist party gets together for dinner and decides what everyone has to make for lunch on Thursdays lol. Probably interesting to look into!

call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs

Libs have been saying that for decades and look at the rise of bigoted beliefs all over the world right now. Seems that’s not the way to go; if you tolerate intolerance then intolerance will win every time.

It has a large effect on mental health and depression, too. The pain becomes sort of like being trapped under a too heavy blanket or something, and you’re always fighting with it. Good things feel less good because you’re hurting, and bad things feel worse because you’re hurting. Pain meds help a little, but it sort of numbs everything else along with the pain. The only time you can get a bit of respite is when you’re sleeping, and you better hope nothing wakes you up because then you’re laying in pain trying to go back to sleep for an hour. Awful.

I appreciate that you shared it. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in the challenges I face with pain. I’m sorry that you have to deal with that experience.

I like to think that we’re stronger for having to go through stuff like that, but sometimes it just feels like suffering for no reason lol.

It’d be nice to not suffer from what I do, and therefore not have constant pain, but also that person wouldn’t be me ig? Idk maybe that’s stupid but I think all I can do to keep going is try to be as positive as I can be.

Sorry if I rambled here. I hope things get better for you somehow fr <3
