  • MAGA…hate you

    Maybe? My MiL is a mega MAGA person; got all the lawn shit, car stickers, signs. She doesn’t hate me.

    She’s been manipulated. If we create others, we maintain the system of oppression by creating a new out group.

    When people are in abusive relationships, what often helps is promoting love. If you push the person away, now they only have the abuser.

    We self segregated and created larger divides and harder bubbles. We’re Americans. I know there’s warped philosophy in MAGA. If we make connections, and we get disappeared, there’s a greater chance they see what’s wrong.

    It’s dark, it’s difficult, & it’s not fair. But if we keep self segregating, it’ll be easier to kill us all.











  • I personally find the Leviticus 16:10 scapegoat quote to be more appropriate:

    Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and offer it as a purification offering, but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.





  • I think both parts are right, but maybe more balanced. If millennials could afford to protest AND thought it was effective, they would.

    I actually like the “no economic activity” protests, but they are possible for me because of my privilege. Not everyone can just not work or buy things, especially when on paycheck to paycheck.

    Money talks right now. It would take collective action and new movement to break folks out of their slowing inertia. They’ve shoved a lot, and like you said, results have been mixed. We got a lot of change, but now the Sisyphean boulder is rolling back down the hill. :/
