Gil’s work is so vitally important. Hard to overstate that fact. Hoping his words will spread more widely and we’ll see more engagements, likes, shares. Waiting now for his book.

I mean the most truthful thing.

Trump is full of vile shit. It’s the most truthful thin he has ever posted.

They is the plural pronoun, not singular.The pronoun “it” is the non-gendered singular pronoun.

Immigrants and “ANTIFA”are the new Jews - the enemies within.

Sadly, they have basic education. Perhaps we can consult Bonhoeffer. Stupidity is the refusal to acknowledge evidence or act on it.

All those things going into
the baby resulted in record low infant mortality.

Thanks for your efforts Gary. People need to wise up as you say. Your voice is vital because people don’t understand the economy, markets, ect.

Because they are founding their positions on evidence and because no one dies of small pox anymore for example.

Yarvin and his self serving billionaire followers are dangerous and ignorant. Yarvin asserts that democracy has failed but on the contrary, countries with the best quality of life and human rights are democracies: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Canada, and Germany (since end of Third Reich).

Lots of demonisation in these replies. I think people realise that refugees don’t as individuals defund schools or other public services. If it’s the case that refugees, their processing and accommodation are not major
drains on the budget, then that’s the argument you need to provide evidence for.

They don’t actually live in the se society do they? They live in their duper rich bubbles.

That’s true but then we’ve only lived this way for a few generations. As McBibben said back then, to the effect, “Its as if humanity scrimped and saved for our entire history,then blew everything on one last fleeting debauch only to wake and find we had contracted a terminal illness in doing so”.

Glad to see that you are optimistic “normal” will return.

Totally understandable. In Australia we are becoming the 51st state and major parties seem ok with that or to be in denial. We’re handing over billions to be enmeshed in US nuclear sub network, having bases here, enmeshed military so we can be a staging ground for war with China. Terrible.

I don’t know at all. I’m not a US citizen. What’s happening in Texas is alarming. As is huge budget allocation for detention camps. My government is still going along with deeper military ties as if it is business as usual for the alliance and in my opinion that is a mistake.

I think there is a lot of fear that protest will spark wider conflict in a society so divided and armed to the teeth.
