At least we should vote for the honest independents when available and when it will make a difference.

This discussion has many good points and ideas about how to take back our government especially on a state or local level. However, our biggest hurdles are at the fed level where candidates, as we all know, need vast amounts of cash in order to run--hence, the fed-level candidates who win are automatically obligated to serve their donors. It gets worse. With the current administration's plan to end cash--which is anonymous--and force the masses into a programmable, digital currency system, the oligarchs will have total control over us. Want your social security payment this month? Want access to the internet? Then you will have to take the latest experimental medical intervention. I don't mean to be defeatist here but if we don't face up to the worst of these coming threats we won't stand a chance. A good place to start to understand exactly what we are up against and what we can do about it: James Corbett's new book: Reportage.

Whitney's books were enough to see the truth. The way to defeat the coming threats is to decentralize. Like so: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/the-rebellion-must-be-decentralized

They are a ways away from that at the moment. They lost control of the narrative, and thus everything else is in jeopardy for them. The media is now decentralized and that is a big problem. We can crowd fund cadidates if we wanted to. Or create a whole new thing.

This is right out of the book "The Third Wave", (1980) Toffler's sequel to "Future Shock". Great concept and should have been adopted decades ago. But the powers that be would never allow us little people such strength.

I doubt we're voting our way out of this...

This is why we need to decentralize and organize. Like so: https://joshketry.substack.com/p/the-rebellion-must-be-decentralized

Thanks for your clear, in depth, criticism. Brilliant.

Yes, well...I thought it was commensurate with your unserious post which contradicted most of what you have posted previously.

You might have been better off describing a scenario of a constitutional amendment for making the tern 'water buffalo' an official third gender passing.

At least my response was more pithy.

Either you haven’t read our previous posts or you are misunderstanding this one. Not sure. But hard to reason when you keep your criticisms without central points or acute meaning, but take the time to use clever SAT words that sound smart but go no where. Feel free to criticize but at least show your work.

Why? Waste of time.

'ridiculous' is shorter than say, 'masturbatory Grade A clickbait crap'.

Sorry. But you really fucked up relative to your previous postings and have zero clue as to why. Either that or you are unserious/trolling.

Not my problem to help you fix that. I learned that the hard way with other shipposters.
