Thanks Paul for putting into words the thoughts in my mind and the reasons I try and convince my long time left leaning friends that only revolution has the possibility of giving the earth's inhabitants a decent life.

Anxious to read your take on it, after a morning full of pundits fainting from their ecstasy over Kamala Harris’ “debate performance.”

The legal system has been weaponized against Trump. That's the only true thing he said all night. Of course criminals are in the crosshairs of the legal system, lol.

Dr. King also quoted this bible passage, Matthew 18:7: Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! If only the Christian nationalists would take that to heart, seeing as it was their Guy who said it, and it was they who unleashed the current maga nightmare on the world (see above, and see the empire decline before our eyes as they destroy its underpinnings).

Observe the behavior of the believers and adherents of the money concentrating machine, and their "marketplace of ideas." They don't see much beyond their bank accounts, and they don't think much beyond the expediency of personal gain, and Fuck You if you're in the way.

Capitalism turns everything into a scam and a sales pitch. Witness politics under capitalism.

The dumber and more intellectually crippling the statements are, all the better for the furtherance of appropriation, exploitation, and the destruction of cooperative human communities.
