@Kathy, Yet Hedges calls Republicans who support Trump "cultists." Some of them may be that just like there were Obama cultists who practically worshipped him as America's "savior" and "messiah." Also some Democrats are fanatical leftist zealots celebrating the cult of government and for them Biden is a genius, a spotless leader of a moral crusade for justice though every knowledgable person knows that that's NOT what this habitual liar and mythmaker is.

Racism is fun. You get to feel superior, and have a ready target for your frustrations. You have an easy scapegoat for complex social problems, plus there's tons of great jokes. You also have instant camaraderie with other racists, and get the sense of security that comes from group affiliation. What's common in all of this? Quick, phony shortcuts to those things we most desire: a feeling of self-worth; a release for negative emotions; answers to life's challenging questions; a sense of family, etc. The racist pretends they're better than others, but actually reveals their weakness and ineptitude. They don't know how to manage their feelings, or solve their confusion, and they're desperate to do both. This warrants pity, but also defensive force if they let their internal failures impose upon others externally.

10 years before that they started arresting everyone who sounded like a hippy commie or was an uppity enough black person. They were using drugs as an excuse/lie to raid the homes of union organizers and other political opponents. That tribalism was inflamed because they've been waging violent boots on the ground war against our citizens. That's how they were able to get the power to dismantle every single protection that their parents put in place against the first wave of gilded age robber barons. The same thing Hitler did with the knight of long knives, destroy everyone who might vote against you then start the atrocities afterwards. The war on drugs costs us the same amount every year that the war on terror did, and the only targets are US citizens, leading to us jailing more people numerically than communist China, an openly fascist country with billions more people.

I am not a church goer or in any way religious, but we can take this triangular relationship back to Genesis where 'God' is telling Eve not to eat from that tree over there. This aroused her curiosity and she decided to check out the fruit. The tree of consciousnesses is not about covering one's nether regions with a fig leaf but rather about the energy that is released from any give and take relationship. If the relationship is negative, the energy released will spiral into negativity. If the relationship can remain positive either through self moderation or with the guiding hand of a protective 3rd party, then the energy from the relationship should be positive and grow, potentially exponentially...scuse the rap.

100% agree! The fact is, nothing BUT compromise has happened. Therefore you have proven the second sentence a fallacy. There is PLENTY that exists between zero and one, therefore there IS space for compromise; as things stand that is all that ever happens, and we continually lose ground. Something has to be changed to reverse that trend; what shall it be and how shall it get done?

@@glintinggold By this logic, one half has to destroy the other half. That is happening already, as one half of the world is being paid to poison the other half.. Having said that, I don't believe it. I used to think that conflict and compromise were always on the table for us to choose, not absolutely, but in appropriate portions. If they are only absolute choices, then a third option is on the table, which is to simply walk away. In a totalitarian construct (where we are now) there is no walking away for those who might represent the possibility of any alternative. They will be hunted down. A fallacy, in other words. My strategy in all this has been to get ahead of the predictable curve of all this and show, by my opponents' own logic and record, where all this is going, and try to get the information out virally, and then get back to riding point. If the parties I give the information to ignore it or cannot be reasoned with, then I figure Ii am on my own, and nothing is to be done. Increasingly, that's where I'm at with it.

Well actually dinosaurs (giant lizards) turned out to be big birds and Adam and Eve were not the first people and the did not live in paradise. But then again, History is a story. And stories change over time.

@GasMaskWW3 I am referring to the insight that dinosaurs would be more aptly called dinoavians as they are more closely related to birds than to lizards. As an illustration of how stories about the past change over time. The bible is a fantastic set of stories and philosophies from the dawn of written history.

Depending on who you're saying is doing the dividing, you could be making a recommendation or warning us that The People's enemies have done a fine job of dividing us and conquering us. I'm getting the vibe that you are saying allowing dissent and encouraging debate IS dividing us, but you are possibly going on the assumption that the establishment is doing a fine job and there's no reason to debate anything!

I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion. Debate and dissent are not only not encouraged but increasingly not even tolerated. We confront a false dichotomy when considering our two major parties. I’m reminded of Freud’s “narcissism of minor differences.” The “debates” that rage are staged. It’s misdirection. While Americans are at each other’s throats over the minutiae and looking the other way, corporate power continues to consolidate and quality of life sharply declines. We are presented with what we are told are two equal and opposite forces outside of which there is nothing worth consideration. As long as “debate” is confined within the narrow parameters set by these “sides” it will be amplified to the exclusion of all else. Eventually, because it is the only thing you can hear, the resulting belief is that it is all you need to hear. When both halves of the country are being sold the notion that the other half is actively engaged in its destruction, you don’t question it, you fight back. This is what it means to divide and conquer.
