@mlanger @wdlindsy Yes, standard method for quashing public scrutiny of those in charge is to pit them against each other.

Our genetics still has a long way to go to lose tribalist tendencies.

Mindfulness helps you observe the often primitiveness of your subconscious coercions.

@j2bryson Boy do they love butchering humans.

Sick beyond all of my comprehension.

@mlanger @wdlindsy 36% is a staggeringly high value for a serial criminal.

Do Americans rely so much on influence and an absence of reflection and thought?

Trump is decisive. That is probably his only asset. But that is also useless when decisions are flawed.

@hannah Whoa what a fabulous idea.

But any such ideas that do not continue the gravy train of the powerful just do not carry weight.

@jonesmurphy Sorry for a misguided presumption.

It appears from the UK that racism still manifests in the US far more than it should. Racism is an expression of out-group aggression or fear - hardly surprising such things linger when individualism is promoted as the American way.

@jonesmurphy Seems that Israel has influence fingers in way too many places.

@shoq Yup.

Cancer stage of Capitalising on others.

When decision makers say they cannot afford such and such, they should give an impact assessment on not funding properly. Often that would invalidate the affordability claim.

Imagine a political system run on such lines.
