We can't kill them all

A little bit of the work hard get rich motivation of the capitalist world might be worth preserving.

The bankers control the western world. China makes business deals with the world that enriches both China and the dealing country. Saying China is going to take over a bunch of the world is ludicrous. The world WANTS to work with China. Africa wants to work with China because China builds SCHOOLS as they set up deals to extract resources. The Western countries just steal. China has made no move to take over the world. They have plenty of territory as it is.

Saying Islam is going to take over the world is just dumb and total Western propaganda. The Western bankers love to use religion to keep humanity divided. As long as you think Muslims are bad people you are helping the bankers spread fear.

There's a backlash of South American and African countries that are finding China's initiatives to not be as fair as originally thought and many are pushing back and no longer dealing with China. Of course there are still many nations that need the money and are willing to make any deal especially with political self interests of their politicians. That said, is it any different when they deal with the U.S.?

This article comes at the perfect time; I was stretching after Pilates yesterday, contemplating how much more mental bandwidth is now consumed by simply existing. Your articulation of Jim's experiences realyl puts into perspective just how fundamentally different the 'middle class' experience has become, making me question what we truly mean by progress.

Jared, well said. I've been trying for the last 4 decades to this point across, but your summary is far better than anything I've produced. Have you read Gene Sharp's works? They're listed on the internet under his name, and there's a vidio on YouTube. There are well founded weapons there to use in overcoming tyrrany against a population. Organized peaceful dissent. I'd recommend the movie first.

Again, well presented Jared. Thank you.

The good fight is in action now with protest around the nation daily October 18th has been the largest against and presidential regime in our history. Seven million people stood in defiance against fascism in the United States of America as our fathers and grandfather's did in world two. There is a consumption strike in progress. Come join us at one, or all of these websites: 50501, Indivisable, common cause, Blackout, and the General Labor and Consumption Strike. Resources and authenticity available online. One other thing, consider participation in the next No Kings protest. We need to exceed the 7 million in October to 20 million in the next. So bring a few friends. Notifications available on the websites listed above.
