I have zero comprehension how. Literally none. How does a convicted fraud, felon, rapist even get to be a candidate, let alone get any votes?

When a politician attacks a particular race it's obvious they are racist and trying to use identity politics.
When a politician attacks other groups, like trans people, they are still trying to use identity politics.
Never let them acuse others of identity politics.

Fear... To control people, there has to be punishment involved... 

" Fear.

The whole system does not stand up without fear. "

"To control people, there has to be punishment involved. Or the very real threat of it."

#HumanNature - We need more than family or job connections... and avoid distance or put-downs between us... 

- can keep others at a distance in various ways naturally.

need work constantly and human energy to be maintained - or else they get cold 🔫 🥶

If not working on each other it can soon be the opposite or slowly slide downwards... 🗻

Truth is many didn't know how to do other than the default family bloodline type or work extensions as the only other relationships
- rather extending more to do it with everyone without only heavy so it doesn't fall apart when family or job changes...

falls apart when not embracing people to help them individually (and the individual to help community also).

More than actual - Humanity FAIL !

@freeschool Read this book and you may discover that the "system" you think you are fighting has already manipulated all parties in the struggle. You are up against the technocratic authoritarians & surveillance state. The colours red & blue and their respective teams are just a mirage to disable all resistance under the illusion of choice.

I did it! My book on the history of the #Atari Jaguar is finished and freely available for download over at archive dot org. It took me a while to get there, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hope you will appreciate and enjoy it as well. Let me know what you think and I would be thankful if you would share this post.

Edit: Second edition.

Ramble about Strictly Limited Games 

If I may give a recommendation to those of you who might be interested: Do not buy from Strictly Limited Games. I ordered Steel Empire Chronicles 1,5 years ago, and it is still not in production. There was one lousy mail regarding this that I almost forgot already. So I asked them to either tell me when this is gonna happen or refund me. They did neither, but at least responded in a timely manner. Now I replied and hope that I'll get a least my money back. Looking over at TrustPilot, I saw that I am not the only one having issues with them. If it wasn't clear that the concept of paying for something you can maybe get in maybe a few months isn't a good one before, now it's pretty evident to me. I had some fun with Limited Run Games before, but at least they always delivered and I didn't wait more than a year. Still, that was already not my cup of tea. But I thought: SLG is a German based company, so this should work out way smoother. Well ... no. The idea has just turned into companies that run on Kickstarters that aren't Kickstarters, basically: Money up front and we'll see what we can do afterwards. This is some late stage capitalism madness 😂. But even if you as a company decide to hang out your customers to dry, at least have the courtesy to communicate! Tell us on where it's at with a game that can't be shipped. And for that - funny side note mentioned in their response to me - I should subscribe to their newsletter, as if it would help me in any way reading new Ford brochures if my ordered vehicle did not arrive as ordered. You get the idea. Too bad, I once liked the idea very much. From now on, if you come my way with anything that includes exchanging money for a ticket on a waiting list basically, I will bid you adieu 😎

🧠 #Psychology and showing your #Mentality and #Mindset is probably the hardest things to do. But most needed. 

It probably seems the riskiest to empty and put it on the table but actually nobody cares or there are too many...

So if people *could* care actually this can open up sharing inside the mindset that can keep some of us together who are dedicated to repairing things (people actually). We're all who need a bit of tuning.

And that's the point. PEOPLE ARE WHAT NEED REPAIR MORE THAN EVER. ⚙️ :xmen:

Five years of no flying
✈️ ❌ ➡️ 🚅 ✅

5 years ago, I realised that my #academic travels were emitting way too much #greenhouse #gas #GHG (up to 20 t #CO2 / yr) and hence that my #professional activity was not #sustainable. I thus decided to completely ban air #travel (#plane) and travel mainly by #train within #Europe.

5 years later (i.e. now), my professional travels' #carbonfootprint dropped by **a factor 50**, without impacting my #publication records (compared to 2017 - 2019).

I wrote a post for the #blog of @a4e about my experience. Check it out: astronomersforplanet.earth/fiv

“workers at the facility, located near Manesar in the state of Haryana, were asked to take verbal pledges not to take breaks, including for drinking water or using the toilet, until they met their targets for the day.”

Hey, reminder that there are still Amazon workers striking in 20 countries, through Cyber Monday.

So don’t cross the picket line. Shop somewhere else.
