and we left empathy behind to take care of it

Apathy is a lack of interest or emotion towards something that someone might be expected to be invested in. It is a common human emotion that can result from a variety of factors, including boredom, burnout, depression, and disengagement.

While apathy has been a part of human nature for a long time, it is difficult to say whether it has become more or less prevalent. With the widespread use of social media and the internet, people may be more connected to the world around them and more informed about events, which could lead to greater investment and engagement. On the other hand, there are also increasing concerns about the impact of information overload and the spread of disinformation, which can contribute to feelings of disillusionment and detachment.

Overall, it is likely that apathy will continue to

The South is weird, some of the nicest people you will meet anywhere on earth are the same people that fought a bloody war over slavery, practiced aprtheid and still do shit like this.

I know what you mean.

BUT.

(And it's a big but, I like big buts tbh)

It isn't just America that will suffer if he gets in again, like it or not (and I don't) what happens in the the US affects the world.

The effect his pulling out of climate accords, NATO etc. will probably fuck us all.

Trump is exactly what the US needs.

Guy is apparently "farting a lot" (a.k.a. shitting his diaper) at his trial. Literally stinking the courtroom out.

If the US elects him again, that is absolutely on them.

I think he likes us

Totally bitch don't talk like that unless she's feeling it for ya.

cum and project your image on me baby

lol, ya'll really need to be more academic. No disrespect but the man educated over 3,000 medical professions, so if you happen to believe that such information of this quotation exists, it don't cause it ain't real.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Rush#Religious_views_and_vision

Also, this is not the first time Rush has been misquoted and characterized upon his views.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15981368

Also, here's who Rush really was http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html piece out some qoutes and tell me this conception is consistent with him?

zig heil doc

Whoah, how could he see this in 1789?

Medicine men have used their tricks for power since the 1st civilizations. Still a very impressive prediction though.

Definitely a time traveler

what rush really was saying, read some of his actual quotes http://www.szasz.com/freeman7.html

Rush would agree that today the only health care systems completely controlled by government are those with socialist-run systems such as Canada and GB. Health care is available to everyone in the U.S. (as are other essential things like food and shelter) and the care here is among the best in the world (if not THE best). The idea that health care is something more special than, say, food or shelter is an idea born in the mind of Marxists (hard to say which) as a means to take control of the masses. Left to the market, it would be affordable and available. Stop with the juvenile conspiracy theories unless you have some facts to share in lieu of the fake quotes...

Theres also a lot of predictive programming going on.
Unless one is vigilant one can believe in stuff that does not exist YET... but...

If it involves life and death you can bet your ass that government will control it and yeah a wizzard cult that administers it like fucked up old IT department.

Love the part where General Dynamics is teaching 5th graders how to build nuclear submarines. One sub can kill everyone in over 100 large cities.

OK but when you look at non-english speakers that might have heard this as "succeed" then the american dream is still alive!

Exactly . I woulda thunk it'd be higher than 37% . Americans love success.

I suspect the remaining 63% also want rid of that 37%.

Who is the 63% you refer too?

Heh! Good point. It's hard to tell some times.

That's why Amazon is selling it

fear is a service and we all subscribe

well it's a fucking "sale event" now

Not just America. fear is major tool they use world wide for control. Always been used.

yes its the foundation of the oldest orgainsations around

Not just US

And it's shipped all over the world.

I agree. There is individual fear, and collective fear. Individuals in America have stressful lives and poor parenting for the majority. Individual fears that hold people back include fear of death, fear of failure, fear of inadequacy (not being good enough). Mass fear includes fear of authority, fear of pandemics, fear of being taken over as a country. Fear can be dealt with by acknowledging and facing the fear with nonresistance. Still, fears are often not recognized because they are not on a conscious level. I do believe that meditation, psychedelic therapy, and transpersonal therapy can uncover subconscious fears and be released from their power.

True all to this but how do you think this is different from country to country.

State-sponsered fear is not unique to the US. Capitalism and communism both generate fear, but in the US, where capitalism has run amok, it is more subtle. US citizens tend to believe that they live in a democracy, yet there has been no progress in the 1 percenters sharing resources with the middle class and poor. Individuals have less rights to express their views because the powers at be that transcend political parties control the agenda of the media and the government. Through TV and other newspapers, citizens are programmed to live their lives in a controlled state of mind. The most pertinent of issues do not make the headlines. I could elaborate more, but just note that societal fear is a response to the denigration of individual rights, where the average citizen thinks that nothing they do or say will be acknowledged or change anything.

Watch this and ask yourself if it is already happening in America/uk..

Yes, if people like the ones at Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston become leaders.

Wow, it's hard to remember this is what human beings can be.

there has been so much more killing since then and as beautiful as this inspiration is, its hard to imagine there is enough love anywhere to stop the mass murder that is part of regular life now

Sure kid, just like a horse race.

Nasa is the best ambassador the US has, if they took 1/3 of the military budget and put into space travel the US would be back like Jordan.

Space travel for what? Branson is going to operate consumer flights, but how many times can billionaires fly to ISS before they get bored? Not many people can afford $150k for a short vacation.

tourism will always remain in the back seat. the commercialization of space has been about serving the planet as a whole with communications, its brought up the un-cabled world just like mobile phones have brought up the last mile. there is huge potential in energy production and distribution coming next.

space travel for discovery, learning and inspiration. the world could really use a moment of peaceful triumph.

Branson has sold tickets for twenty years without delivering a ride not sure how he is relevant to anything here.

Elon Musk estimates 5-10 years to get to Mars. At present the cost is $1 Billion per ton, so it'd need to be 1/1000th of the cost, apparently. The ship will also need to be reusable.

Traveling Mars is also not a point and shoot mission. You have to coordinate launches with the alignment of the planets' orbits to travel the shortest distance and not fly past the sun. This also requires a stay on Mars as you wait for safe realignment after landing. Current technology estimates a 21 month round-trip given a ~3 month stay on Mars. Money is not the biggest hurdle.

When I say 5-10 years, I mean to design and engineer the cost down, not journey time.

go open source, add new states, virtual citizenship and most of all healthy competition with other nations not war

Competition in what? Our largest industries are healthcare and pharma. Getting Americans to change is a huge hurdle.

competition for new citizens, with decreasing population the game is going to change and the usa at least remembers how to play

100%, this is always the u.s. advantage but politicians run on keeping people out not in

If its a 12 step program, seems like all this realisation right now is step 1.

No, this country is cursed, theres a lot of bad karma waiting.

outlaw political donations there's plenty of free coverage to get the pitches across anyway.

American free speech protects political donations, even from corporations.

So who is the cool cowboy now?

Peter Breggin. MD, former psychiatrist who took on the APA when profit motive became greater than the hypocratic oath doctors take to "first, do no harm", became the conscience of Psychiatry. Later in life he has runs a radio show exposing those persons involved in the Globalization Movement that is quickly eroding the common person's civil rights and creating barriers to those who choose to leave a work culture where your boss becomes your God and if you are lucky, you may receive paltry insurance and limited sick leave....the US is a nation of brainwashed drones who.probably have never had an original thought in their lifetime.

Dr Breggin advises us little people to organize and speak up....be a patriot....but look who we are up against....

Any lbs out there know of a better place to live where meager pensions are paid to elders who have to live on $2k a month and paid in Social Security taxes since they began work over 30 years agos. Thanks to Ronald Reagan and others like him repealed the formation of a self sustaining retirement system that President Clinton wanted.....

This is the tip of a gigantic iceburg to which any organized public outcry can be crushed by the Patriot Act.

Not to mention US top organizations, including the military, continue funding the weaponization of a once benign bat virus...

Population control has begun....freedom of speech has been compromised by media spin doctors, and a true Republic has turned communist......these globalists like Bill Gates, President Biden, George Soros, and anonymous billionaires are acting against law and liberty to defund any classes of us with little money, and spin doctor the media to brainwash us to believe we are having racial tension; what really is happening is class warfare.

Why do billionaires want just their money but the commoners money too? How much is enough to live on?

I get mad and feel compelled to stop the US from becoming part of the Communist Party of China.

Rather than dwell on frustration, I will smoke some kush mints so I can even sleep!

The population grew to large. The citizen / individual is now a defunct concept. Group politics prevail. Democracy is dead.

America needs a strong leader. The country is in a mess and it's going to get a lot worse till it gets better.

Hollywood. The American dreM. Clever marketing for a past its date super power.

The country is too big to properly manage. To many different rules per state. The poverty and opioid epidemic is absolutely shocking beyond belief. Equality issues. Mad presidents and to many super rich families. Now
Let’s all head on down to Walmart to keep that cycle continued 😁👍

This guy never existed it was all hollywood fiction,now they are more likely to show America defeating the universe and saving humanity as they struggle to try and persuade everybody they are still the good guys and not a bunch of screaming mad nazi thieves going about the planet threatening other nations and causing wars and misery where ever they go.

There's too much ignorance in the world.

americas greatness came from common values attracting immigration from around the planet. make that again and yall have a chance

Only problem I see is too many people

not enough young people, not enough people moving up economically.

just the permits for this would easily take over a decade now.

Super photos and perspective here, it was the China of its day :)

The architecture is next level. I'm often left scratching my head in amazement.

There is a lot of contoversial opinion and media covering the world fairs and associated expositions.

Not sure what ro make of it all to be honest 🤔

When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times

And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.

There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.

i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.

Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.

Fascism isn't inevitable if people get off their asses and vote.

What good is voting if the legislature is alfeady bought and sold?

Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.

Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.

"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"

As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

What's the source of that Franklin comment? I can't find it.

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.

Thanks, seems Paine is stretching the context a bit.

Only Franklin never said that the Constitution would "require" re-writing (or anything else, for that matter). Nor did he even imply that it was "temporary". His comment only reflected the fact that this was a unique, first-ever document of its type and he wasn't sure that it wouldn't eventually end in despotism due to corruption. None of the framers "knew" what the future would bring, only that what they had made was the most perfect constitution ever made. Not "perfect" (although it may be), just "close to perfect".

Also what good is voting when the only choices are turds?

Ha this really looks funny now - people have since voted almost exclusively for fascism!

World War I was a fascist nightmare in the United States with Wilson and his cronies using it to attack all of their domestic enemies: African Americans, organized labor and immigrants. It was all documented by the media and no one cared. Helped us get where we are today as much as anything.

thats the worst part, fascism has taken hold by democratic election nearly every time

That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.

WW2 was awful for Jews etc. However it turned out quite handy for the Zionists since the Jews flocked to Israel after the war!

Whereas, before the war the Zionists where struggling for citizens!

I've nothing against anyone, just saying!

I thought ww2 was one of the peaks of fascism

The NWO is Communist

First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...

Oxford Reference definition:

"An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.

The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43), and the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach."

Now look up "right wing" and tell me how fascism is remotely related to it.

fascism is later stage communism, institutionalized corruption.

sounds kinda like horseshoe theory

ok throw in a little racism and hate where the communist idealism and naivete is and you're there.

Show your working (prove it)
Btw Fascism was defeated in UK and in WWII it was defeated in Italy along with National Socialism in Germany. There is nothing Fascist about our world. The Communists and Capitalists (same thing) won WWII and they are in control.

The URL you posted is a sufficiently disgusting QED

if nothing else a new approach to fascist propaganda would be appreciated.

Where is the Fascist propaganda coming from?

Here is another definition of fascism, this one from Merriam-Webster dictionary.

"1) A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

2) a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control."

The antidote to Fascism is Democracy.
