Representative Democracy hasn’t worked in over 50 years because politicians will always come from the monied classes and be beholden to their Corporate Donors, only way we avoid this apocalypse is to stage a Velvet Revolution to install a Scaled Direct Democracy. Citizen Initiated Referendums with thresholds and a Social Contract using Blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without parties or politicians. Banning Beef, Oil, and Fishing Subsidies would stall climate change and habitat degradation overnight. Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete. Police can be actively policed by an independent public authority with the power to prosecute bad actors in our own courts.
Or we can bend over and accept our Orwellian future
Nope, I’m out all around this year.

ReplyI still got presents for my in-laws… but I spent more on my cats
ReplyHello
ReplyWell, most pets give you unconditional love and are not judgmental, unlike your in-laws, and the cat!
ReplyOf course, _I_ wouldn’t do it, but it’s so much _easier_ buying gifts for dogs, because they don’t know anything.
ReplyQuite typical of a society in which family ties and values are widely and deeply eroding.
ReplyThe outcome doesn’t surprise some of us.
My dog makes in-law presents. Its a tradition to light a bag of it on fire on their porch, then hit the doorbell and run.
