Petroleum is Death
Said a speaker at the North Dakota pipeline protest.
Fossil fuels.
We are fueled by death.
Our energy is from death.
We are putting death in the air.
Another form of cannibalism
Without the spiritual aspect.
What are we doing?

What is systemic/institutional racism
It's when colonizers come to a country and use the indigenous people as labor. Creating laws supporting that endeavor. Creating laws to take land and resources away from them.
It's a slave trade, bringing people in from other continents for forced labor, then creating laws to sustain that.
When forced labor is abolished, laws are created to separate and deny rights to a certain group of people based on their race.
When you are no longer able to legally segregate or deny basic rights, A War on Drugs is created which affects poor drug users and low level drug dealers. While people bringing in the drugs rarely get prosecuted.
Then to exacerbate it, the CIA supports drug flow into communities and gives harsher prison sentences to those it funnels the drugs to.
When that wasn't enough, A crime bill is created. One that is said to address the awful crime in drug riddled neighborhoods. Only to send more poor people to jail.
To this day.
Stop and frisk.
Now, things come to light. Police have been summarily executing people since the inception of a U.S. police force. Cameras bring it to the public.
A right to bear arms, supposedly protected by the constitution, will get a person killed by the government even when they are not exercising that right. Just the suspicion meets death.
Systemic. Institutional. Death.

Deep Thought
The free market would never allow anarchy.
or even small government
The market needs government. The market creates governments.
or even small government
The market needs government. The market creates governments.
The lie of Scarcity
We live in a society that perpetuates hoarding and waste.
We see people without and say there isn't enough for them. Or that you can't take from others to give to the poor.
All bullshit. There is enough for all.
Amongst the waste and holding on to things no longer useful, there is enough for all.

My Political Themes
TraditionalvsProgressive
48
You side moderately towards “Progressive”, meaning you believe we should be a nation that values personal freedom, expression, and diversity.
CollectivismvsIndividualism
28
You side slightly towards “Collectivism”, meaning you more often believe policy should protect and support the best interests of all citizens.
PopulismvsElitism
92
You side extremely towards “Populism”, meaning you very strongly believe decisions are best made when everyone has a say.
Everyone should have a say in policy that controls their lives
MulticulturalismvsAssimilation
90
You side extremely towards “Multiculturalism”, meaning you very strongly believe we should celebrate and embrace cultural diversity.
UnilateralismvsMultilateralism
84
You side strongly towards “Multilateralism”, meaning you strongly believe policy decisions should be made collectively with support of everyone who may be affected by the outcome of the decision.
IsolationismvsImperialism
74
You side strongly towards “Isolationism”, meaning you strongly believe we should focus attention on our most pressing issues at home instead of involving ourselves in non-threatening issues abroad.
EnvironmentalismvsAnthropocentrism
66
You side moderately towards “Environmentalism”, meaning you believe in sustainability, environmental protection, and improving the health of the environment.
The world and it's products are not ours to own or control. Unless we create it by the work of our hands, it is not ours.
CentralizationvsDecentralization
62
You side moderately towards “Decentralization”, meaning you believe that administrative power and decision making should be handled at the local level and serve the best interests of the local community.
ToughvsTender
54
You side moderately towards “Tender”, meaning you believe in showing compassion, empathy, and rehabilitation for small-time criminals or those struggling with addiction.
Incarceration does not rehabilitate or create people who are assets to society. Getting to the root of the problem and correcting it does.
PrivacyvsSecurity
50
You side moderately towards “Privacy”, meaning you believe the government should not undermine the rights and privacy of its citizens under the guise of national security.
PacifismvsMilitarism
38
You side moderately towards “Pacifism”, meaning you believe we should use non-violent diplomatic discussion to resolve conflicts.
Use force in the case of self defense and the defense of others only
CapitalismvsSocialism
34
You side moderately towards “Socialism”, meaning you support an economic system which advocates collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
I think I'm a centrist in this regard. The people, not the government, should administer the means of production and distribution of goods. I believe the distribution should be fair. This would be made possible by reducing waste in housing and agriculture. Holding people accountable to the community for hoarding or creating false scarcity.
GlobalizationvsProtectionism
34
You side moderately towards “Globalization”, meaning you believe globalization is necessary in order to increase the economic strength, prosperity, and standard of living of the nation.
I believe Globalization is a reality since people migrated from one region in Africa. It is a right to trade with anyone you want.
Small GovernmentvsBig Government
20
You side slightly towards “Big Government”, meaning you more often believe the government should do more to address social inequality, corruption, and assistance for its citizens.
Actually I don't. There's a difference between thinking something should be done and thinking that the government should be the one to do it.
I think private organizations and local communities should provide assistance for the citizens
RegulationvsDeregulation
18
You side slightly towards “Regulation”, meaning you more often believe the government should regulate business activity to ensure no one is taking advantage of the system.
Again, I want to make sure no one is taken advantage of. How that happens is different.
I'd rather more local consumer watchdog groups. More collective bargaining. Businesses must show their activities are not a detriment to the communities they operate in or serve.
Laissez-fairevsKeynesian
4
You are a centrist on Laissez-faire and Keynesian issues.

Accountability
Everyone in a position of authority must be held accountable by someone.
Ideally by the people they have authority over.
