     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Shooting the messenger was inevitable.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma It's the fact that they don't seem to realise we can see what they're doing.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain They can't conceive of any other motive except the power dynamic of oppressor/oppressed. Therefore pointing out that they're shooting the messenger is proof of systemic racism.
     Some people are stuck in their thinking. Those that know it's a grift continue while it's lucrative.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain Things will either work out or they won't.
     Maybe this nonsense will be over in a few years. Maybe it will take a decade or two, even a century. History travels in waves, and this is a well-worn path.
     Don't forget, many people's brains broke during lockdown and many people were heading that way before. They may recover their senses, but they may find more comfort in being controlled.
     The important thing is to have some integrity, do your own thinking, hold on to what matters, and spend time doing fun and creative things.
     Time is a great healer.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma I'm still being creative and trying to concentrate on that and my friends and family. It's bloody hard sometimes.

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @KeepTakingTheSoma because they never have been. It's been a long game but neoliberalism won. Because people just sat on their butts through it .

     @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @KeepTakingTheSoma I started speaking out about neoliberalism and the Powell Memo in the early 1980s. No one believed me, even as Ray-gun and Milk Snatcher literally sold their countries out to corporate interests. Now all we have left is corporate interests.

     @Sherri_Ingrey @KeepTakingTheSoma What a world to leave our poor kids. I said a while ago that if the left didn't get a grip on reality, they'd push people over to the far right, and that's exactly what's happening.

     @Sherri_Ingrey @TriptychTwinsRidesAgain @KeepTakingTheSoma but it was interesting to note that not one who came after them ever wanted to shut the door on their shit.
