This is a page about sociopolitical issues, ideas, philosophy, consciousness and anything that I find thought-provoking, from a progressive perspective and with an emphasis on the human condition. It includes a mix of news stories, memes, quotes, short videos and political cartoons. While I am liberal, I don’t align with any particular political party. In fact, I don’t particularly like the idea of even having political parties to begin with. I think far too often, adherence to a political brand impedes the flow of intellectual honesty and degrades discourse. Alas, it is the system we currently have, so...
With that said, let it be known that right-wing nonsense will be removed and users blocked, especially if all you want to do is try to promote trump or make a case for why he's not completely despicable and the most unsuitable person for the presidency in modern American history (and probably ever.) I became convinced during the early months of 2017 that there is absolutely no point in continuing to argue with trump supporters. I have been there, done that, many times, and I understand that it doesn't go anywhere. Because there is no way you can still support trump and not be supporting racism, bigotry, and fascism, either directly or indirectly, and I have zero interest in wasting time or energy trying to combat the ignorance and self-delusion that basically always accompanies fans of Agent Orange. I think discussion and debate is healthy, and I don't expect people to always agree with me, but when it comes to trump, there is no room for argument anymore. If there is a specific issue that you want to discuss on its own merits, I might play along for a while, but just know that if you still support trump, you are not welcome here. I don't particularly want to deal with you anymore, and I know a lot of others feel the same way. As for myself - I work in digital distribution for film and video. I believe in justice and the evolution of humanity, and I believe words and the exchange of ideas are an integral conduit of progress.
