If someone says they don't want millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the country, are they "rallying for causes that marginalize, harass, and remove rights from others?" If someone says they don't support gay marr

The citizens of Rome, at the height of its power, must have thought it could never possibly fall. But that world of Roman domination did eventually come to an end. In America, there have already been mini-apocolypses all over the country.

Reading history to comprehend the present is like watching videos of other people driving, while you are driving. The past is not like the present. Things have changed. There were no nuclear bombs when the constitution was written, nor chem

I didn't read the article. My response is addressed to the headline. I waste so much time on the internet because I'm alone. I'm an atomized worker drone spawned from a pipeline designed to service corporations and government

The majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This is a precarious condition that leads to a lifetime of stress. Most people are living in extreme stress conditions. I wouldn't call living paycheck to paycheck "making it.&q

Yeah, I don't know--who does. The poem just struck me as nihilistic. If we are just star stuff in a forever bubbling and fomenting cauldron, it may be a view of reality that is hostile to life. What can console us against the slings an

Yeah, maybe I'm just being an egocentric human by saying that. I don't have a way of measuring "creativity." Also, what we can measure and observe is only a reduction of the universe to terms we can understand. So, we ca

Consciousness, as I understand it, evolves out of complexity. The simpler things are, the less capacity for consciousness they have. Fundamental building blocks of the universe must then be the least capable of consciousness. That's no

Which is to say that he is nothing; it's nihilistic. What is a drop water in an ocean? One drop less won't make the seas recede. Life, death, where is the boundary when one is subsumed in the all? We are not anonymous atoms in the

This poem is from outside the bounds of ordinary human experience. It conveys a sense of absurdity and an immensity of scale that belittles the individual. I find it quite harrowing. Within the ordinary bounds of human experience, there is

Don't like being made aware of your compliance in racist institutions? Want to just do your "science" as people outside the institutions are subject to mass incarceration? How elysium of you.

The U.S. is a special case because of it's grandiose claims. We are supposed to be a nation by the people and for the people, a nation that is supposed to be a bastion of liberty against the dark tyrannical forces of the world that rou

The number one cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. is healthcare costs. The horror stories I've personally witnessed are shocking. At the bottom of society, where I have dwelled, there's a whole undulating sea of broken toys. Ex engin

How many civilizations have lasted since time immemorial? You could have said this in Rome and you would have been right. You could have said this as a slave to the pharos and you would have been right. It never lasts forever.

The law is supposed to be the sacred foundation upon which a nation is built. Perhaps this view of law has been forgotten, which further emphasises my point about corruption. Breaking the law, in a serious way--I'm not talking about ja

We're living in an utterly corrupt society. I know the middle class types on here don't like to hear it, but it's true. At the bottom of society, one can see clearly how bad it is. In the middle, you are insulated in your lit

Yep, it's sugar. I cut it out of my diet as much as possible and stopped having tooth problems. Sugar drinks are a form of suicide for your teeth.

This is straight up a prelude to Orwellian thought control via language modification. Can nobody really see through this corporate "woke" smokescreen? It's not about "social justice," it's about instilling tota

Scary, isn't it. I went on a date once with a regurgiator. Made me feel like I was talking to a drone that takes all direction from queen bee T.V.. We're living in science fiction territory now.

As long as we live for material things, there is no alternative--armageddon is guaranteed. This materialistic system naturally causes imbalances which inevitably lead to breakdown. Democracy has always been a dog and pony show where the int

What an empty circular argument. Maybe they didn't give a damn because...they were living in bad conditions? Maybe they felt like there was no future ahead of them? Your life isn't the success story you think it is. You bought int

It's more complicated than this. Most working class people aren't even exposed to local politics. I guarantee you that the majority of working class people don't even know how or where to vote in local elections. Democracy so
