I'm heartened by seeing more people catch on to my political philosophy:

1. Don't take the black pill. People are Good, and we can fix this.
2. Don't virtue signal. Everybody is welcome in the tent.
3. The people who vote in exacerbation of the problem are confused, not evil. They are not only our allies, they are us.

All we need to do is recycle enough money throughout the economy, so that it doesn't pool at the top. Such a simple, easy fix, if we could stop bickering about other crap.

@andrewrk I think I agree but can I ask what you mean by “don’t virtue signal”? I feel like I’ve seen that slogan used for evil but I think you’re getting at a very good point and I’m not parsing it right. 100% on “everybody is welcome in our tent” and every other word.

@andrewrk Alright, yeah, totally agree with that. Thanks for spelling it out, words are hard.
