I don't disagree with you. My point is simply that in the US right now there's a concerted effort to keep the citizenry in a frenzy of angry finger pointing to distract us from the fact that we are being robbed blind by the "Epstein class". The issues are real, but these are relatively small issues in comparison. Those folks pay actual money to keep us doing this shit and it works. In the US we have a desperate need to understand that this is engineered, and the engineers are laughing their asses off at the screaming rabble.

This divisive "team" stuff needs to end. You know who really loves this garbage? Billionaires. They pay to make sure we pleebs keep doing it so we don't notice that they're robbing us blind. We are all on team plebian serf. The sooner we pull it together the sooner we can start fixing the issue.

I think the problem is that the fraction of people you're referring to absolutely would care had they not been basically trained to reflexively dismiss claims of wrongdoing against "daddy" as "fake news". History is probably going to say trump was probably the most effective con man the world has ever seen.

Imo the real fuckup they fail to recognize is that there was real excitement and motivation behind Sander's campaigns and their messages, and they twice drove all that into the ground in favor of "establishment dems". He had ppl fired up. There are magas who would have voted for him. Instead they fell for a con man who ironically enough actually saw this. The real enemy is billionaires and their stooges, not Rs or Ds.

...of the neutron flow yeah. He just plain reversed polarity in general more times than that. He was a professional polarity wrestler :D

This fallls way outside of ten forward, but the absolute king of polarity reversal in really all of scifi is Jon Pertwee's Doctor Who. Yes it's very old, but you will literally get at least one polarity reversal per story arc. Honestly he's probably the progenitor of all polarity reversals.

Right! I smoked for over 30 years. I started vaping about 12 years ago. Prior to that I tried quitting numerous times - patches, lozenges, pills - none really lasted. Vaping works and it sure as hell is less harmful than the cocktail you get from old-school cigs.

It is honestly really frustrating to see the issue of relative harm just get flat out ignored. "Vaping is bad" - you never see it compared in any sensible way to alcohol, cigarettes, formaldehyde from carpets - what have you (all of which are more or less bad). "Even drinking water can harm the body" is about as useful a statement. This is so tiresome - we're not children.
