@aral Still wandering when looking at your posts and discovering if / how #SmallTalk can answer the #trust we need to increment ourselves and then extend out to #Gaza (a way to solve the whole trust #war thing or #community from wherever we all are to eventually get to them / us all ?)
e.g. If Mastodon & #Jitsi / #WebRTC aer good enough #bridge then neither seems to have regular community-making sessions itself - mostly one-way posts or "look here's another bad guy / #enshitiffication tool..."
A few nights ago I had a memorable dream that keeps coming to mind, so I think I should share it.
I saw Vladimir Putin as an MMA fighter, in a home improvement store.
What could it mean? Come and see....

That time the Arkansas state government was heckled by an angry crowd....
The next time the ruling class insists we all get new vaccines, the citizens will revolt, adding more fuel to the next American Civil War.

It is commonly assumed that what human beings want is to be comfortable. Well, we now have it in our power to be comfortable, as our ancestors had not. Nature may occasionally hit back with an earthquake or a cyclone, but by and large she is beaten. And yet exactly at the moment when there is, or could be, plenty of everything for everybody, nearly our whole energies have to be taken up in trying to grab territories, markets and raw materials from one another. Exactly at the moment when wealth might be so generally diffused that no government need fear serious opposition, political liberty is declared to be impossible and half the world is ruled by secret police forces. Exactly at the moment when superstition crumbles and a rational attitude towards the universe becomes feasible, the right to think one’s own thoughts is denied as never before. The fact is that human beings only started fighting one another in earnest when there was no longer anything to fight about.

Stop using banks so much...
because...
#Banks lend both sides of #war
All 'good' #profit using the 'easy to use' medium developed specifically for war contribution (#money / #tax).
Both money & tax allow the controlling people to misspend our money/energy.
#Banks / war are a #waste of #money / #energy - toxic to all life #pollute #humans
Money needs an #alternative
We need to #counter Banks...
Nope. The worldwide depression won't be over until he and all his ilk are out of office and out of money.

What he ended up doing was MIGA.
Internationally, Trump Made Iran Great Again.

The warmongers spent eight trillion dollars to drop bombs on weddings, fatten defense contractors, and provide medical care for maimed soldiers ... but building homes for the homeless and poor would be evil socialism and we can't have that. In effect what is being implied is that we can't build homes for the poor, but we should instead use that money to bomb foreign nations for so-called democracy.
The money spent on military conquest could have built 80 million houses and provided millions of good, temporary jobs in construction.
In fact the money spent on the conquests in Iraq and Afghanistan could have made a quarter of Americans home owners.
The so-called government of this country HATES the people. And it shows. They are thieving, murdering liars and thugs full of active and chronic hatred and malice toward the people. We live in another Catholic-styled dark age, where the tax collectors and creditors rob the people and use the money to sniff out heretics.
I realize it is too much to ask. I realize you will all waste your energy whining about crap that doesn't matter, like entitlement programs and imaginary racism, instead of doing the things that actually build people up, like giving them a roof over their head free of the encumbrance of debt.
The government forces a fragmentation economy on the people that forces millions to move away from their families and home towns just to find work and housing, then calls it 'socialism' to build houses for the people they have intentionally uprooted. Sick. Just sick and evil.
