In a democracy, the state is not a formless, uninfluenced entity. It's the way it is because the people are horrible. The state cares as much as any human in it cares for you. So no, don't love thy neighbor, they're the cause of this lol. Diversity is strength and great food but don't mistake that with it meaning they are necessarily good people worthy of love
"Want to" is not when your freedom of speech ends man. No, the dems are not taking away your freedom of speech
I live in an area that is putting actual money into balancing the scales but yeah sure it's just a empty words ~~~
No deference to the systems we grow up in? No ability to understand context?
The US is not a Democracy.
Congrats. We're all shit. All of us. You and me too. GO TO THERAPY.
I didn't realize all I had to do was "talk" to have my material needs met. To have my ideas as part of the political conversation.
Wait, I do that, to people, face to face. We still have ghost jobs polluting our employment statistics, and blackshirts on the streets abducting neighbors.
Congrats. How did you get there? I need you to understand that is a privilege not all of us have. And without further detail, I'm curious about how many of your neighbors face a different reality.
Technically correct in that it's a Republic. Same thing applies
People who can soley understand the system they grew up and not improve it are the issue, yes
Freedom of speech is quite literally about immaterial needs, not material ones. There is no right or reason to have a right to include all views in politics.
By voting? People voted to spend government money to even harms done in the past. That's not privilege; that's a choice made when voting. Not sure what you mean by neighbors having a different reality, my neighbors are getting bettered by good governance because we voted for good politicians

Nah. Actually, it does not represent you, what you care about, or anything about you. Quit simping for your own destruction.
Oh. You're not serious. Thanks for the notice to block you.
And you are, citing that? Lol
