  • Congress is stacked against Democrats. There really isn’t anything they can legally do until they regain the Senate or the House

    Except praise ICE, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that Congress is stacked against the Democrats. They’ve shown everyone who they are and what they stand for and it’s not clear in the least that they would behave significantly differently if they were in power. From Biden building the wall to Kamala saying “Do not come”, and all of the messaging of the Ds since they lost and now 75 Ds voting to praise ICE…

    There is hope. There is no hope for the empire, which is doomed, and therefore there is no hope for non-profits as such because they only exist as part of the tax structure of the empire. As the empire collapses, so will non-profits. But also so will for-profits. It’s all collapsing as it fails to sustain itself.

    In fact, the empire dying is the exact shape of what hope looks like.





  • That’s because over population is only a problem relative to our systems of production and distribution, and focusing on overpopulation as the problem results in atrocities, violence, racism, and tyranny. There is some research out there that the actual carrying capacity of the planet is much higher than previously thought. Overpopulation isn’t a problem.
