As one disenfranchised peon to (presumably) another, I feel that the extent to which each of us is part of the problem is the extent to which we are forcibly prevented from becoming anything else. The problem is very profitable, so participating in the problem is made compulsory while organizing to solve the problem is made illegal and dangerous.

The only actual job of the DNC is to suck up all the space and oxygen that a real left needs to grow, and rubber stamp every oppressive police measure they think they have to in order to secure the profits of the rich at the expense of all other life on Earth. The best of them are self-deluding soft exterminationists at this point, and the bulk of the party has apparently dispensed with even that fig leaf and embraced a kind of haughty, blue fascist schadenfreude regarding the people it failed to browbeat into supporting genocide. It’s genuinely the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life after the killing itself. The Democratic party is pathologically incapable of taking any responsibility for it’s action, has no desire to change anything, and is actively, dangerously hostile to all living beings, first and foremost human beings outside America. Nothing better will be allowed to grow unless it is thoroughly dismantled alongside the Republican party and most of the rest of the US government.

“Everyone who doesn’t share my casually fascist politics is just irrational, mentally incompetent if you will, and not worthy of consideration”

The main question for me is one of impact: “Who is it hurting”. I only take things from big box stores, never ever from individuals or family businesses. My morality was formed through contemplation, like you said, and I see it as having a two-sided relationship with my experiences: Something that evolved out of how things are but informs how I think things should be: Nobody should go hungry, nobody should be impoverished or victimized. Surprisingly, just believing these things makes you a number of enemies these days.

The Democratic party is the Graveyard of Social Movements

More accurately labeled Liberalism and Fascism

I think we might be past the point of even that, a lot of these people seem like they wouldn’t ever criticize their party

Liberals looking at the genocide they wholeheartedly supported

libertarian as in capitalist?

In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, breaking off hands, and hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. The exhibition presented photographs and testimonies of victims who had been blinded or crippled or suffered amputations for thievery. There was the shepherd whose master owed him a reimbursement in yuan and wheat but refused to pay. So he took one of the master’s cows; for this he had his hands severed. Another herdsman, who opposed having his wife taken from him by his lord, had his hands broken off. There were pictures of Communist activists with noses and upper lips cut off, and a woman who wasremovedd and then had her nose sliced away.23

Earlier visitors to Tibet commented on the theocratic despotism. In 1895, an Englishman, Dr. A. L. Waddell, wrote that the populace was under the “intolerable tyranny of monks” and the devil superstitions they had fashioned to terrorize the people. In 1904 Perceval Landon described the Dalai Lama’s rule as “an engine of oppression.” At about that time, another English traveler, Captain W.F.T. O’Connor, observed that “the great landowners and the priests… exercise each in their own dominion a despotic power from which there is no appeal,”

Liberating people from inhumanly cruel and merciless theocratic overlords is good actually, and I hope we can cultivate more of that energy here in the US.

Exerpts are from “Friendly Feudalism: The Tibet Myth” by Micheal Parenti. The whole essay is quite good and not very long. https://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?t=88773
