Ah, once again I have been absent for more time than I should have. My duties take me to other realms and other battles which not all been successful. On the personal front I have made gains but it is a strenuous and slow battle. So, I have come back to witness the downfall of the USA as it has been known to be. Maybe we shouldn't be so sad of this downfall since the self image of the USA was quite an offshoot from reality. An experiment concocted by wealthy European white men escaping the rule of a monarchy for a chance to wipe out an indigenous race of naturalists for the purpose of monetizing their land - this is what "America" was based on. Whiteness, misogyny, land ownership, the right to own "inferior" humans . . . this is what "America" was based on. However, in only a little more than two hundred years, though struggle of what is right and just the people changed this country into a better experiment, one of democratic rule and the rights of all. Alas, history repeats itself and the cycle of oppression continues with the emergence of the Tea Party Republicans. (do they have any clue to who the real Tea Party represented?) These asshats are so uneducated, misguided, willing to follow the most absurd tenents of libertarianism as to win over a drunken populace into putting a treasonous, self-obsessed manchild into the highest office of this falling empire. It's only fitting, you know. As an off-world observer, you gave up your power of the vote willingly. Yes, we know that the game is rigged but if you don't play, you can't win. (credits to R.H.)So, peons . . . what's to do? As races go, you humans are not really battle material . . . I've been fighting with, well nevermind, they don't want to contact you anyway . . . then if you're not going to behead the idiots in charge, who have manipulated the system so that your votes will never produce the outcome you desire on a national level, what about working from the ground up? Build locally. Establish sustainable communities. Base all local political movements on equal rights, healthcare and education for all. Be a welcoming society to those in need. Vote out the greedy, self-serving career leeches who profit off crony capitalism. Take back the experiment of the USA from City Hall and up. And don't be afraid of the scared idiots with all the firearms . . . they'll probably shoot themselves in the foot.
