Comment Universal Basic Income IS the Alternative... (Score 1) 190

Because what the rich right-wing-authoritarian rulers TRULY want is a return to (i.e. Neo-)Feudalism, since they now want the political power to go with their economic power. As such, the ideal model they're all looking at getting is what the invasion of Britain gave the Normans in 1066+.

Feudalism->Capitalism->Feudalism its seems.

Comment Not enough specifics... (Score 1) 144

There's not enough information here to really allocate any blame as to the nature of the problem they're solving...

Given all the graphs I've seen for US employment statistics, though, (which massively spiked in the few election months at the end of the year before Trump took power) what I think has probably happened is that the previous thoughts of the market spiking in this manner was actually an illusion, and hiring actually pretty much froze over the election instead, and therefore we get the massive downward revision, now. This probably isn't really about Biden vs Trump, as to whatever it was that caused this illusion while the election took place, instead.

Why didn't the EU counteract Russian propaganda? Because it wasn't WHOLLY Russian, and we've got enough of our own problems over here with such issues, too - there's a group of rich people, including those who own a LOT of international media, who are prefectly happy with turning the US in a fascist/neo-feudalistic state, and for continuing to divide the EU, too, (so it should be no surprise why they and Putin have common goals), and it was obvious to many of us looking from the outside, just HOW MUCH more the media was against his opponenet and for Donald Trump this election even compared to before.

It Is a conspiracy, but this time it's also true - and we're now also contending with just how much corruption Israel has caused :(

Comment Re:Everything Is Zero Sum (Score 1) 167

Zero-sum is a description of a relationship/interaction that cancels itself out. Entropy is caused by the EXACT opposite, where every interaction causes greater complexity/reactions etc. (Note: It is possible that entropy is a side-effect of the universe having enough internal dimensions that all change/movement is no longer directly reversible.)

Comment Re:Americans and freedom (Score 1) 240

The problem is that so many in the US do NOT understand freedom fully, only partly, and selfishly.

The only freedom too many recognise, is the freedom TO do something/anything. The most important and fundamental freedom FROM harm/death/suffering (and others!) etc., however, is not fully understood and therefore freedom becomes confused with, for, as and by POWER over others.

And this is how and why the US WILL become a fascist state at some point.
