I wish, I do wish Daniel, that with all of this noise, hull a baloo something would happen, but face it almost half of America slobber over this cretin.

The institutions aren't holding anmore than than they did in Germany in 1933, and Hitler had 43.9% of the vote. Trump had 47% and still does.

The institutions are afraid, they have cowed and kissed the ring, foot or ass, even law firms, the media, corporations.

Politicians are spineless critters, the first requirment of being a politician is to be malleable as dough.

Either the system will self destruct, and that will happen but it will take time, or it will be destroyed from without, and then MAGAts will rally the nation under "patriotism" and anyone who resists will be a traitor, or it will be destroyed early on before it is really set in concrete by a mass uprising, but the days of translition, politics, change by votes are over.

yup. I agree. The human brain is perhaps the most habituated organ among Animalia. We joke about lemmings, but we are purposeless lemmings, afraid of critical thinking because it appears to be just too much effort. We are in a resurgence of the reptile brain taking over the tiny bit of fight/freeze/flee reasoning that most 'murkans are addicted to. Norepinephrine is a massively powerful narcoitc produced inside the human endocrine system. It is more powerful than Muck's obvious habituated horny impulses. As a biologist, it appears more and more each day that this is the only way the quantum field can cleanse itself of chaotic bipolarity. Evolution is not ethical or moral. There are been literally a billion different species (excluding viruses) on this planet that have come and gone. We no doubt will be next.

I totally agree Mick.

As a species we are on the way out, in 100 years or less, and taking other mammalian species with us.

And the billionaires, the corporatists who believe they can escape are self deluded, They cause the end of the anthropocene,by their addiction to money, power and status. Instead of investing in clean energy, they poured resources in assuring that we would remain dependent upon carbon based fuels.

The anthropocene is the age of man, man having an impact on the climate, and it started in the 1950's

And as you say, it is all attributed to addiction. We are an addicted society, I can't go any place without people staring at some little screen in their hand waiting for the next inconsequential and silly alert, DM or Tweet

My wife is addicted to google play, she has little to do, is retired and sits at her tablet all day playing google games, and spends a hell of a lot of money, at it. We can afford it, and it distracts her,otherwise there is nothing to do but watch TV.

I spend my time on gmail,, reading stuff like your comment, but am not addicted, can walk away and do without feeling that I have to have a hit or missed something. It is that or watch TV all day, and yuck.

I receive the Anarctic Sapiens news letter https://rickylanusse.substack.com/ he lives in Patagonia, and it is not my only source of info, he is not so dire as I, but considering that plastics have so invaded our body, that it is even found in penis's, that the oceans are rising the AMOC is diluting and changing, the earth is heating up and a wet bulb temp of 95 degrees fahrenheit means death to humans and most mammals, we are on our last legs. Well I am anyone

The species is it's own worst enemy,

Via quantum entanglement, we are on the same wavelength. Stay angry and loving. All Earth needs defending by its children, who owe their very consciousness to it. Reason, responsibility, renewal and reverence. Not so complicated, just challenging, but doable.
