      Are we so out of touch?

      No, it was Plato who was wrong.

    I already despised Texas A&M for ruining the jalapeño pepper. Now we get further dumbassery.

    “The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men.”

    – Plato, Republic book 1 (translated) circa 375 BCE.

            Also the cellar is where I keep my Hell-enic wine. It had a devilish flavor.

      Easy to say. Good luck changing politics, the neo liberals have a deathgrip on the left options in politics, running as the plutocracy but the other parties are worse. Making the radicalized right planning of fixing elections, now with the help of russia and the us, an inevitability as they run as reform.

      Nothing will break the population from the neo liberal’s death grip, not short of a populist alternative, but they kill that in the cradle. Not even 2024 shook the confidence of the sheep in the party, as arrogant as ever they are busy being led to aggressively blame everyone else for their unwinnable strategies, especially blaming those that fought for a new deal of popular reform that could both win and restore the glory of our post war year prosperities. Across the west not just in the US, the US and UK are just the harbingers of the death of liberal democracy in all but name.

      Wise men can’t solve this, not disparately with the forces aligned against the common good.

      I applied there in 2010 for undergrad and was offered to go there if I joined ROTC. I wrote back asking if I could not, since I objected to war and my offer was rescinded.
