Revolution or reform?

I think reform has totally lost the plot at this point.

That is exactly how it's intended to be read ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Oh I didn't say that. The world could be a lot better.

Only that we generally live in the best time historically wise. Most of us have a roof over our heads and steady food in our bellies which is not historically how things have been.

It's foolish to try and look back in history for a better time because there is none. It is up to us to create a better future going forward.

Oh 100% I agree. We do live in trying times. But we also live in probably the best time to be alive at least if you live in the western world.

I just want to bring some context from the past because when you look at history we're doing quite a bit better than we used to.

While the no Kings protest didn't really achieve a whole lot mobilizing up to 10 million people is a huge achievement and not one that many organizations could have dreamed of doing 50 years ago.

I like self checkout. I struggle with talking to people and it can really drain on me so it's a godsend to have if I only need to run in for a few things.

People are using it to steal because people can't afford the basic necessities anymore and we've lost a shit ton of our purchasing power.

Yeah it's not like our ancestors went through two world wars in a period of 20 years along with the first Global economic depression or anything like that, and the realization that Humanity can now wipe itself off the planet.

No it's definitely us that lives through the most interesting time

Just because we know it won't get through doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying to push impeachment articles as often as possible.

I mean it only took like two or three Democrat deaths to swing the house in the Republican direction so that the Republicans can get some shit through that could always happen the other way around because the gerontocracy is on both sides

Yeah it's the best I could get with the equipment I have. He's sitting in the very back of the tank right now in a very dark spot. I'll try to get better pictures of him later tonight.

When I need to get through my own ADHD episodes when I'm struggling like this so I generally move to things like reading or writing or drawing. The idea that is to keep my brain moving on some sort of thought so that it can't fall asleep.

If you're focused on something you can't sleep at least in my experience ( I focused on things hard enough to end up keeping me awake when I was supposed to sleep )

Best of luck comrade. You got this

Grass root movements! Very hopeful to see. Hopefully they are in for the long haul.

It seems like a really excellent response that's well informed and source well.

It does seem like the most plausible explanation
