Interviewer: Margaret Atwood, what are your thoughts on the trend in the US?

Atwood: I’m Canadian

Oh, they do trickle down on ya! Not with what want ya though

I bet those sales douches are happy with the bonuses they will get.

I don’t like sales dudes.

Are you for age (ID) verification? Are you fine with no channels of privacy? Do you support things like chat control in the EU?

If you do, then you are blind to how these people think and operate.

I sense a dangerous level of willful disbelief. Things in the UK and EU are going to get worse. The fascists don’t follow rules, and most of your politicians have the same weaknesses as our controlled opposition.

Do not be complacent, because they are already in your midst with blades to your throats. They are preparing to cut.

Ask yourselves, why do officials need ICE protection when they have the Secret Service?

Is it hardwired, or trained?

I have prejudices that are wrong. I know that they are wrong. I know the kind of futures that will never exist if I exercise them. I don’t know, if it’s nature or nurture.

Oh, absolutely! He will stumbling blocks thrown at him from every which way. And then his lack of progress will be pointed at by the propagandists: “look at this Democratic Socialist who did nothing! Blah blah muslim blah blah blah”

Naturalized citizens can vote. First generations can vote, and children mostly align with their parents’ beliefs.

I am not anti-immigration. At all. I am against intolerance. I am against anyone who would abuse a country’s asylum system, because it will lead to end of such lifelines.

I’m becoming more curious about whether there are biases in the type of person who chooses to immigrate (excluding refugees) to the US.

the issue is you thought people were better than they are. they aren’t.

I am very cynical, but my hope is that we can collectively improve our situation. I pull my hair out when people keep playing their tribal games. All they have to do is reason it out.

We need historic voter turnout for these scenarios:

1. Elections are free and fair. Overwhelm them and take both chambers.
2. Elections are not free and fair, but in a manner that can still be overcome. Overwhelm them and take what you can.
3. Elections are totally cooked. Overwhelm them so that it is easy to reason that it was already cooked.

political views in this country are fucked

True

it’s not because politicians are evil individuals who are, en masse, conspiring against the will of the Proletariat™

False. Democrats are very truly captured by the same forces of influence that pollute our political views. They are “en masse,” because they basically try to preserve their individual gravy trains by a form of collusion to keep the status quo.

hate and propaganda has you trembling in fear

I often give the benefit of the doubt towards minorities. My internal hope is that since they are a minority, they surely have experienced bigotry, reflected on it as victims, and rejected that spirit.

That mentality of mine has been completely shattered over the last couple years. The majority of the immigrants I have known have floored me with their bigotry towards so many others. It has made me curious: Are they attracted to that part of our culture? Is this the predominant spirit of the world? What the hell does it mean?

Adams is a dickhole collaborator. I’m surprised the contract was only around $600k. How much so you think Adams got on top?

I wish Mamdani the best. There’s so much happening to be able to ingest it all, but so far he seems genuine. My natural glare of “what SHIT are you up to!??” has so far yielded nothing; Good. More!

Yup

I have never looked into his past, but observing him recently is making alarm bells go off for me. Knowing nothing of depth about him, I get the sense that he is helping to ruin the EU.

How can he be replaced?

Yeah, I feel my hypocrisy. I am trying to understand more, but my mind always ends up melting. Individuals I’ve met that maybe could do what I want done are a different breed from me. I am pushing myself to understand more, but I am pushing uphill and it will take years before I can achieve what probably so many all around the world could do now. While I sharpen myself, I ask: who were those in the V masks of years past?

These behaviors will only get worse, unless we change the system. We just need to help each other understand that, and then execute it!

Where are the hactivists?! Are they all too well employed?
