My point isn’t an argument against yours. It’s just one segment, and what you’re talking about is another segment.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions. You and I in each of us can be angry at one or two or three of the causes of the problem, but until all of the causes of the problem are identified and dealt with individually, and then, systemically in aggregate, the problems we face a date are not gonna be reversed.
For example, you’re looking at the problem from a top-down view, whereas I have been speaking from the problem from a bottom-up view. It will certainly require not only both of these perspectives, but a middle (up and down)view as well. And a lot more views and perspectives about the causes and results of all of this.
And to even begin to tackle all of us, the biggest thing we all need to realize is that the most important thing is we all realize what is really fucking wrong here: fascism. And that, while we may disagree on some specific particulars on how to deal with it, WE ALL NEED TO DEAL WITH IT, AND WE ALL NEED TO DEAL WITH IT RIGHT NOW.
It’s gonna be difficult, it’s gonna be complicated, and it’s gonna take a long time, but those of us who are against fascism need to stop slapping each other around and silly in fights, and we need to start working together. Now.
We also need to realize that we need the collective courage to shift the Overton window back left by huge leaps and bounds whenever we get the opportunity. And all that this would require of any of us is to be both more human and more humane. I really don’t think that’s too much to ask of any of us here.
The first steps, of course, must be to eliminate the outrageously corrupt gerentocracy that currently is the fatal cancer in the Democratic Party. Embracing and supporting the new wave of young progressive is the only way forward. Is the only way to survival.
The Overton window also needs to be pulled back to the centre of the libertarian/authoritarian axis. It would be no good shifting directly left from where we are now. Authoritarian left sucks about as much as authoritarian right.
So you’re saying you gave up, you’re never going to not have a boot on your throat, it just needs to be a left wing boot? Why do you even care what flavour of jackboot it is?

Awww. I used to think saving the world could be that easy.
But then 18 years went by, and the world got a lot nastier.
Wake up, do better, and fight harder, for the good of all of us!

Do better and fight harder indeed!
I said nothing of the sort. Perhaps you should learn to read the words in front of you rather than what you wish to hear.
Sure ya did you condescending fuck.
