Building things takes time. It's a lot easier to destroy than create. That's why the vile fuckers tend to run the show.

I'd like to disassemble the system, too, but how? How now? (brown cow) Like, America is still fucked because we weighted our constitution heavily toward the slave states to get them to sign on. In today's climate, I'm not so sure throwing out our beta test constitution and starting over is a good idea. Too many of our countrypersons are batshit crazy, and actively working to cause any harm they can. They want to tear it down and replace it with chaos because they think warlordism is a better bet for them to have a happy life. (I say we ship them all to Liberia and Sierra Leone.) I wouldn't be optimistic we could do significantly better than our current system in today's political climate. We need to reestablish consensus reality first.

I think there was a time that simply breaking things would have worked, but the window for that kind of thing has passed. That was the boomers' job. They had enough momentum, they could've tore it down in 1970, but the white ones took a buyout and piece of the middle class and let the nonwhite ones pay the price. Tearing it down now would just fuck everybody, methinks.

Watch the movie "Civil War". That's a world I'd rather avoid.
