thank you for your message. For some reason, today, for me, I'm having a hard time dealing with the days to come. I've been irritable and sad. Your video was inspirational. I know it's up to each of us to look deep into ourselves and find the light within, then share the light to hopefully bring truth to power.
We need better resource management, and by resources I mean our time, energy, attention, and effort. Instead of wasting our resources dealing with people that don't want to hear us, find each other and build community. Form a group of people and do something good for your community together. Take action on building up. It will naturally draw people in and improve the community over time.
Without the common idea of pluralism, live and let live, we are always at the whims of a group of people willing to operate outside live and let live and consolidate power. Anti-Woke as a dogwhistle makes this pluralistic approach harder because it frames the pluralistic base of society as an oppressor and when invoked it can mean whatever grievance the listener wants to insert. So to elaborate, it means we need to divide and conquer their movement. Undermine the glue holding them together. Pick apart the beliefs and policy goals of any individual within their movement and pit it against the part of their electorate it will offend. Catholics vs dominionists christians, neo-notCs vs oligarchs, isolationists (US chauvinism) vs traditional geopolitical strategy, union vs scabs. The glue holding the movement together is the confidence man and the continuity required for his carnival barking to work was not challenging their contradictions and making people fear their intent for one another. You seen this play out as women voted for them and abortion referendums on the same ballot. Maybe it will take touching the stove for people to get that but I don't think we highlighted the threat they pose to each other enough. I'd also add we have to do that by not engaging in their rhetorical ploys anymore, reject their premises and lies up front, and we need easy quips that mean what they need to to an individual listener. That's the psychology behind calling them "weird" and why it worked to irk them and get some attention on their policy.
Unfortunately it will take strong leadership to topple this regime. Hopefully once trump’s dementia increases it will become obvious to everyone that the man is an idiot and they were foolish to firstly support and then vote for him. The bully tactics won and shows how foolish the US people en masse are.
@@amberfuchs398 Benevolence is always welcome but we can't sacrifice democratic power for a different cult of personality. FDR types aren't common enough. We've watched a lot of people turn full tilt crazy to self affirm recently. Buyer beware.
I wish more young people, who feel hopeless in this society, who have a desire for change, would consider taking a role in politics. If we can't get them to listen to us, replace them. Imagine a government flooded with fresh, passionate young people who haven't yet been corrupted, doing their all to enact change from the top down.
Yes! It's not that we should be protected by others from others but rather that we should become increasingly stronger to call out the craziness at larger and larger scale. Consider Obama's taking on a roomful of GOP Representatives on live camera in 2010 at the GOP House Issues Conference, and Fox being the one network to cut away because he was outarguing every one.
The missing leg in this strategy is fixing our own party. I'm all for transrights, but the attitude our party has used to communicate support for them has been toxic and self-defeating. Like Trump missing the opportunity to rally the country behind masks to fight covid, or legalize pot, we squandered the opportunity to introduce transculture in a unifying way. We could have taught republicans how to love their trans children, but instead we scolded them for using dead names and other suprise faux pas we never taught them. We simply shot out of the gate with a self-righteous, contestuous attitude. Like a 7th grade science geek making fools of parents by telling them Pluto isnt a planet. Or the PhD who pronounces data with a short a. Instead of "gotcha" which puts down others, we need "aha" which unifies. How about teaching Christians to be grateful for the immigrants? Like Malcom X said, we need to show them we have a cleaner glass of water.
Well, there are a lot of people within the higher ranks of the party arguing about what's the missing leg. I end up being very grassroots in my focus: How to disappoint Trumpists who I argue self-righteously accuse us of self-righteousness, shame us for shaming them and get on their high horse to tell us our arrogance is beneath them.
If I were in my last days, I would skip the 'self-improvement project' and focus on Being. Being a child of God or the Universe and let that is enough.
Is it possible to create democratic nonprofits? To where all contributors get votes upon how the income is used, isn't based upon the amount of money invested, but one vote for every investor?
Sure. It's been tried lots. I lived for 7 years on the most successful commune that tried that. I also spent 7-9 grade in a school where all staff, teachers and students had a vote apiece, all decisions made according to Robert's Rules of Order. They are very fragile. The commune rejected hierarchy but ended up with it anyway.
@@jeremyshermanPhD What can you expect from a bunch of apes who think they are God, if they have enough money. I keep flashing back to Space Odyssey 2001 for some reason. Hope everyone has a nice day.
My understanding from Sen. Markwayne and Candidate for Secretary of Defense, the love of a good, smart, beautiful woman can reform bad behaviour and of course that gun toting Republican Jesus tough love is reforming, too. Wonder how Wyatt Earp would solve a problem like MAGA?

Your best video yet brother! And that says a lot
Jeremy, thank you. Please think about coming on Bluesky to join us. 🤟🏾✨️✌🏾

Where is democracy's troll farm and foreign interference?

Good one.
The more the merrier! See you Sunday!
Thank you.
Excellent work. ❤ carry on
Excellent content as usual as well as a cornucopia of portmanteau's!
Love the videos! You should be more popular. Make a more simple bite-sized version of this and it will explode. Thank you!
