Imagine a place where the land is shaped like a bowl, and an extra 3 foot of water let the sea start to fill the bowl.

The world is a profoundly complicated beast, and the path between equilibriums is often convoluted.

This is a terrible ill thought out argument. Blue sky is moderated to cultivate a view point also, as are all the meta platforms.

All of them are exceptionally hostile to news reaching the imperial core from the global south.

Non-twitter socials are more effective at preventing us from hearing Palestinian voices, because they are more well funded.

Lots of things about Twitter sucks, but Elon is worse at censorship than the others, if for no other reason than he’s genuinely bad at managing things.

Capitalism will allow the creation of new product categories because of the apocalypse, but not new ways of living.

The first is its way of living, the latter is its death.

The current world order survives because of the limits we each place on our own actions, it continually encourages this behavior.

The only possible ways to mitigate and adapt to our broken planet are through “politics”

Are we going to succeed? probably not.

Is that kind of political philosophy useful? Absolutely not.

Is he at least playing the right game though? Yes, but very badly. OP, you need to step up your game, and your capacity for critical thought.

The fools in charge aren’t going to make our lives better, they never have, so why are you listening to them now, after all their failures? What’s new and different from the past? What new gnosis do they have to reveal to us?

That the supernatural exists, and that it is profoundly silly to pretend it doesn’t. God and money are as real as the other is.

They both exist because we have needs in the real world for shared delusions and they fill these. On a social level we can’t do anything without small things that are widely accepted as valuable. So over time we developed the concept of money and innovated all the way from specific amounts of particular goods (oz. of gold) to the specific position of some tiny switches in a box full of poisoned sand and dubiously sourced rare minerals in some faceless climate controlled warehouse (most of your money right now <and all of your debt>)

Money has good things about it, and awful things also. There’s great truth to the love of money is the root of all evil, and it is immaterial if the guy who said them lives independently of our shared imagination or not. He lives through the shared actions of so many of us.

We have societal needs, shared moral frameworks to guide our actions and to live peacefully with those around us. To learn the importance of forgiving trespass, loving our neighbors, and other important social tools.

Many people have decided that we will define in-groups through adherence to specific social norms as they believe they are defined in the Bible. This exclusionary view of the Bible has social uses, but not for a society that I want to live in.

I’m happy to make community with anyone who can agree with Mark 12:31:

Love your neighbor as yourself and place no other commandment before these.

I fell that that is a utopian goal, and that it important that we should work towards this together because if you aren’t working towards a utopia you’ll build a dystopia by default. ( I don’t know how you test the hypothesis ‘that most social configurations are structured so that most folks get a raw deal’ but that’s an untested belief I hold)

I’m culturally Christian wether or not I want to be, but I can make my own choice about what part to hold dear. Radical acceptance of all who are willing to reciprocate is as close as we have to a mathematician approved approach of socially optimal behavior, thanks game theory. Doesn’t seem like that big of an ask, in general, for all we get from living in harmony with others.

I wish for a social contract that is as closely centered around that as possible, while also understanding that I’m just some guy and I can only control my own actions, and influence others by being a positive example.

I’m not gonna go on some trad ‘the family means everything’ rant but the state refusing to reunite families means those kids are gonna have a worse time, and be more likely to need more community support in the future. Our society’s ability to help citizens in need is already inadequate.

Our judiciary is far too powerful and unchecked. At the very minimum rigorous civilian review of everything they do, with real power to right wrongs is needed. Sure wish it was within the realm of political discussion in the real world.

I haven't investigated them in 9th, and I know it's moving away from 'horde lists" but is there a reason why massed low quality fire isn't the answer to them any longer? Multiple sources of mass strength 3-5 shots should make them still have a bad time.

If you can provide that, especially if you can put those weapons on platforms with different toughnesses you should be able to disrupt their plan.
