                    Left or Right - Mast Left or Right - it's more about how much people debate and talk about these points - which #Left seem to be best at avoiding while professional liers / politician take their money endlessly damaging cultures / not creating healthy life... [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                    @kathimmel Really easy to see that until "all" the people (let's say the many or 'common folk') are ducking everything - so then you have to go do something... else you have what you have in Ireland... over-population (even without the race / racism or personal politics)

                    Those politicians are getting away with financial murder (directly or indirectly) with all money from to house more people in already-poor - raking it in (like I mean getting paid tons for it and not spending / giving money to Irish projects).

                    If it's true has around 10,000-1400 people and 3,500 added / imported then it's crazy and have to wonder why so many as a % of extra strangers never mind the and ... even if they were Irish.

                    So aside from homeless ... you have people paid to do other stuff without asking the people... (it's covered up - parents not officially / properly asked or even told).

                    Just too many purely on numbers and then ignoring existing people... money again over people. They'll keep doing that unfortunately and not everyone is comfortable with that. It's a lot like Trump or anything else.

                    So my question is, from all the tactics and money-bags we can see - when would it be enough for you (asking politely) and what would you do about it when your clearly don't care?

                    (any reader welcome as I think doing nothing now is surely not the way)

                    So or or any label that ignores or does near-nothing or has in change without them is perhaps worst or accordingly scared and turning up to anything once a year might seem better even if you're labelled activist racist fascist (and by that I mean "not doing 0 about it" or being as mini-lords is worse, which as I think the Left measurably is...)

                    Just too comfortable paying for problems... Maybe people have different lines and like paying I don't know!

                    It's not easy (we have all done it sitting back) but when is it enough and where do you go when computer says no and nobody is listening?

                    Asking without adding too much spice - but if you turn a blind eye for a long time then that is actually (technically) quite the same or more right than left

                    - so that's why the actions are more to and find out I guess and I guess also you don't just suddenly become EDL for it! That wouldn't be nearly impossible.

                    Do nice labels to sit into, doing nearly-nothing (which does have it's place _sometimes_) does mean reliably you just get steamrollered or keep getting backed up in corners / cowering from trying to not look like a problem from a problem-creating diversive system... (sorry, it is a bad situation)

                    Thoughts welcome from neutral / balanced points of view...

                    Let's go over some of these points, else if you have "no time for it" I don't know what else to say...again things will be unreplie.

                    The rest below was cut out but left them in if you want more but I imagine this is more than enough and all the work most of us MUST DO since we are all way behind / fooled / lied to for years already...

                    (optionally more below)

                    just don't want to even talk about or thinking continuing to work their job is responsible enough let alone deeply debate... that's what I think is done by people out there - talking - else you box yourself in and get out of touch naturally.

                    I'm not sure a;; turning up there and mum's on street are all or were involved with (was EJDL according to "Silenced" documentary*) and not genuinely worried with 0 politician replies almost literally!

                    It's not just people sucked in without knowing yes a lot of baggage but perhaps a lot of good points and even receipts presented by those talking about government deals / spending / money taken while left politics does really poorly and makes sure they don't step on anyone's toes even those stamping on them or playing elsewhere...

                    Anyway not trying to push my politics but nearly-nothing vs. lots of presented points and public attempts seem too easy as what is needed to at least get discussion regardless of thinking tuning up somewhere will get you massively sucked in.

                    Let's go over some of these points, else if you have "no time for it" I don't know what else to say... just let it stay unreplied.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                          @benroyce @KarlinEcuador @gerrymcgovern I agree Ben.

                          I think it also comes from us not having found ways to each other enough and seemingly still needing (banks or bitcoin) to think we're exchanging well...

                          Using / materially-tied / burning ways to keep burning people and more material to make our exchange is a bit of a sick design and sick / destructive thing by how much our currency has eaten - let's say - but it serves us to have visible when we think we are worth 10 or 100 but when the face value of a bank or bitcoin does not match the real value even the next week or the next year. In fact the opposite by design (devalues is taking away continually to keep us working instead of potential giving more in another sense / not devaluing both of us EACH TIME we had 'currency' to each other).

                          Naturally or as more man-made creations, everything needs to be into something else more / ...

                          The point is we don't really value non-material or things (at all or as much)... or even creating them from such a large pool, all with their own resources we could use (potentially).

                          So the whole thing as my main point is that more personally we seem to need these 'numbers' or techniques instead to represent things falsely (accept being tricked for those who know about Banks) and not looking for other ways...

                          If we're not doing that - it's kind of messed up. Is it not?

                          We have to learn sometime "how bad" these things are now but in short they made from crude from their root ( / / computational resource consumption) we should have seen 100 times already... so as a root of all they are all self-validating methods (money to justify paying (money existing as the whole reason to pay tax) or bitcoin as a long-winded energy burn in order to avoid bad people doing over-night banks or monitoring our own private life and .

                          'Giving' something to others is not easy. There is more to it but not working on it is one main point we could start on now (I am as ).

                          Without that change, we are continuing the use by not trying for another way of exchange or value, and we seem to end up to serving the bad because we don't have an answer and not looking to creating something better than bitcoin / banks.

                                                  (measurably not just my opinion - there is a direct power construct to paying for and things).

                                                  I don't think you got it as much as this above (with respect) so I'm adding this...

                                                  The picture (newer version + others added) was trying to show we are born into all this / part of the system and showing you (the public) are part of it's thinking too if you are thinking you are not part of fascist structures (the whole and / / ).

                                                  VICTIMS
                                                  *I do blame* victims AFTER they know this and continue. While all victims should have a chance and need time - some are WAY TOO COMFORTABLE and went into settling for it.

                                                  No longer victim here as bourgeois (LOTS of people here very comfortable)... *and they* play their part in I'm a victim by going to the same theater or opera / shops / institutes / city.

                                                  And they think all people online are doubtful - might as well did you're own grave that way.

                                                  So there's a measurable limit even to "victim" I'm sympathetic for (to a limit), but not settling comfortably into and not even in blaming-mode constantly helps (which is a lot of too).

Short examples like that (more of a long chain but you get the picture).

                                                  It's the or constancy in others encouraging / asking for / seeing and accepting others as imperfect (naturally) and not being so doubtful - as that scuppers any chances too.

                                                  Wwithout even testing people out people have resigned / accept fascism and even play their part.
