3. Monsters and Saints in Horrible Situations
… and the need to change our horrible country system. Revelations handed by a remarkable Christian pastor (who unlike most IMHO, actually follows the Jesus Christ described in the Bible gospels (namely fighting for social justice)). Not perfect because he sadly seems to blend together ALL Germans as fascists during the fascist tyranny Germany went through from 1933 to 1945; and he is clearly misinformed about the Ukrainian war therefore passing on the mass media propaganda he has swallowed up and believes; but luckily these are tiny pieces in this video. The rest can give us some worthwhile insights and remind us of changes we must fight for.

8. Peopleās Party Finally Recovering from a Tactic to Discredit It ***
I think it takes quite some time to learn how to deal with lots of tactics used by the oligarchy to prevent political peopleās parties from coming into existence. The one that has been trying to rise up for us over the last five years or so has had to struggle with this, and the most recent attack hit it so hard that we heard little besides rumors for the last six months. A way too long delay in moving forward. I conclude that this sprouting party still depends too much on a single leading person. It needs to grow to a size where there are too many well known and admired people in it than the oligarchy can wipe off thew table with things like personal accusations being made when possibly accidental or fictional but nevertheless harmful. Let us, the people, not forget that we currently exist in a mafia-like system of greedy money lords and power seekers who we must dethrone and whose corruption of our society we must fix. And another reminder: since mistakes happen sooner or later in any human team, especially when it has to fight so much with sneaky oligarchs, we ā the people ā must build up people movements that (A) back a peopleās party and/or champion candidates in elections, plus (B) are always ready to put pressure on politicians and parties for our sake whenever necessary (thus kicking out corrupt infiltration that can seep into any party sooner or later if not watched and pressured enough from the bottom). Well, I am glad that the current Peopleās Party may now return into sprouting. But please, faster and broader now, getting more efficient. OK? š

Or: The Right-Left Division Isnāt as Real as it Seems
This article is a sequel to A More Relaxed Economy which discussed the UBI aspect of a shared video by NonCompete which I felt needed more mulling over. This sequel now gets into another interesting issue that came up in that video, namely that many āconservativesā or Republicans (or right-wingers) are actually leftists deep down without knowing it . Excavating this hidden treasure could do a lot for all of us. Hence, I will now make the attempt:Ā Continue reading “The Left-Right Division When Deep Down We Agree”→
