I...I am scared. Not too scared to try to make yourself more literary, you little homo
I...I am scared. I am scared for my future, and more, for my children’s future. Making children requires penis/vagina interaction, kid.
I look at the world and I see it burning down—literally: the forest fires in my state are worse than they ever have been. The global ecosystem is collapsing under the weight of human activity.And if anyone is qualified to judge that, it's a faggoty emo college kid In 50 years, I am not sure we are going to be able to grow enough food or find enough water to go around. Not only are you not sure, but in fact you have no idea whatsoever. I am not sure that our houses will be standing as natural disasters get more and more prevalent and powerful.Stated without proof, with the premise that being a precocious earnest college kid confers credibility. Bzzt.
I don’t know if I will have children for fear of what they may be forced to experience Brother, that makes two of us—and I want children more than almost anything else. So does ColesCountyDem I am a teacher at heart and to have my own and raise them from birth would be a joy and a privilege I cannot begin to describe. You realize that a female must be involved in this process, yes? And that acting like a female won't get the job done? I may adopt instead to provide what shelter I can for at least one or two. But, you see, this worry affects every aspect of my life. Is there anything more pathetic than when a 20-year-old plays Hamlet?
This inevitable collapse puts a strict time frame on all that I do. I hurry now to learn languages, to learn perspectives, to absorb as much as I can about the world before we must act. He said, as he writes 10,000 posts on DU.
That time is coming soon. I don’t know if this nation will make it through another 30 years (or 20, or 50) without broad systemic changes. I don’t know if it will stay whole. People are breaking. We are stretched so thin. I am barely hanging on, and I have it lucky with my family, my friends, my skin color, my body, and my love for the world. **** you, you colossal *****. Your parents sacrificed to send your dumb ass to college, and you blew it. You had a chance, and you cashed in Mommy's chips on Poli Sci.
Ferguson was the point I feel like I finally woke up. You mean you finally realized that you can't assault a cop without getting ventilated? I guess some of us are slow learners. This is a new era. We are venturing into the unknown faster than at any point in history. The scale of the problems we are facing dwarfs any that we have seen in the past. Our entire species is at stake and inextricably tied with our lives are countless other living beings.What in the holy HELL does that have to do with Ferguson? Stay on MESSAGE, Bob, before we come for your other foot.
I often have a hard time explaining this to those older than meBecause they're too busy looking for eye surgeons to reattach the orbital muscles they tear from rolling their eyes at you, faggot, but we must realize this: there are billions upon billions of people in the world and we are already at the point where we cannot support them all. Just remember: it's down the road, not across the street Our oceans are not just overfished, they are completely depleted. Because you say so. Of course. Our skies are not just polluted, they are growing dark. OMG! Global DARKENING! It's getting darker EARLIER!!!!!!! We need action NOW!!!!! Our oil is not just getting harder to find and get to, it is running out. Our glaciers are not just receding, they are gone.Again, because an emo faggot says so. Of course. Perhaps, in a brighter future, the people could be supported through the development of technology. You people jizz your pants every day over the Tesla. Go buy one and shut up, asshole.For now, this problem will only grow until it cannot anymore. Then we will see the world collapse. It has already started.Dude, you just need to get laid. By a woman.
I am a socialist because of the pressure of time above all else.No, you're a socialist because your mommy and daddy can't afford to keep supporting you, so now it's our turn. This mindless system of production, consumption, and accumulation is exhausting itself. Said the liberal typing on a computer, who has a smartphone, etc.The hate we see, the vicious attacks on refugees in Europe, the attacks on immigrants in the US, the violence, the war, the oppression of entire races and identities—all because we allow ourselves to be split apart by the relentless drive of capitalism and the pursuit of profit and power. Capitalism is the only way to support all of those people, including the Mexicans you assholes import to vote Dem. **** you, kid. We allow ourselves to participate in a system that crushes us at every opportunity.
From the loss of our spirit as workingwomen and men to the death at the hands of the state and our fearful countrymen, we are losing ourselves. We are standing idly by while the pain and suffering rises up around us, knowing full well that it will not end until we change everything about our lives. In the meantime, every step we take down the dark path towards neo-feudalism takes us two steps to return.I I gave my love a cherry without a stone / I gave my love a chicken without a bone / I gave my love a ring that had no end (you CCers remember Bluto? I miss that guy)
This election is not consequential in the grand scheme of things.That's not what Banzin says, kid Capitalism will roll onwards whether we have a Democrat, an Independent, or a Republican at the helm of this one country. As it should The movement of society is one of unquantifiable individual decisions coupled to the evolution of whatever global socio-politico-economic system exists at the time.Meaningless claptrap meant more to secure you some ***** than to secure the world's future.
What the president or a leader can do, however, is exert just a little bit more of a push than most at this time in history. She/he/ze can create that spirit of love, purpose, dignity, respect, and understanding that is needed for any society to progress, or ze can break it. They are not gods, but they are powerful inasmuch as anyone in human history has been. They may not be special as far as the rest of the universe (or even this Earth) is concerned, but for humanity, these people—often nameless, forgotten, unknown, or unrealized—are crucial. For most of our history, we have suffered the consequences of those with weak wills and short sights, and they are the overwhelming number. They have won out until now because of the immense human capability for fear of the unknown.
There have been many beautiful, insightful, brilliant people, though, and they are who I study, who I listen to, who I search for. They are the ones that guide and propel us forwards.
Bernie Sanders is not a great man. He is an impressive one, yes, and a good one, I think, but not a great man. He is no King, no Marx, no Wilde, no Keller, no Mandela. He has given in and compromised with power too many times in order to receive some. He did not entirely make his own. I recognize his shortcomings; there are many things I don’t like in his voting record and his positions. These mostly stem from his trades with the US political establishment.
He does not represent all people, all races, all sexes, all identities. But I think he does speak for all in what limited sense he can. Yes, for some he speaks louder than for others. There are very few people that can speak for everyone; if he ever does, then I will consider him great. In this time of ever-looming catastrophe, though, I think what he stands for is enough to nudge the people in this country in the right direction. A nudge is all we need for this movement towards humanity—this pushback against the brutality of our current world—to become something more than a simple political “revolutionâ€.
With Clinton (or for that matter, O’Malley, or the vast majority of others), I do not see a nudge. Clinton is not just linked to but part and parcel of the oppressive system; she advocates for little different than what we have now, and indeed, if her record is any evidence, she will make things dramatically worse. Only somewhat through her policies and actions, mind you—I think she has some concern for the oppressed—but primarily through her unwillingness and inability to confront the reality of the nigh-on apocalyptic scenario we face. She will continue the farce that is modern capitalism (and of course the other non-economic power systems we live in).
I don’t know that socialism will work. In truth, I’m an anarcho-communist of some sort; labels get fuzzy when we try to differentiate between socialist-anarchy, parecon, and other systems. We should all be equal, and share everything we have with one another. We should be giving everything we have for what might be possible, for what wonders we could discover and explore together. We could have everything.
But I also realize that is an impossibility for my lifetime and perhaps it will never occur. So for now, I am a pragmatist: I ask for what I believe is possible and at the very least what is necessary. I ask for that which is within our capabilities if we can recognize our collective human spirit. Even if it is not possible, even if we are doomed to exhaust ourselves, should we not be striving for that anyways?
I must. I can’t not. As Chris Hedges recently said,
“As a socialist I am not concerned with what is expedient or what is popular. I am concerned with what is right. I am concerned with holding fast to the core ideals of socialism, if for no other reason than keeping this option alive for future generations. And these ideals are the only ones that make possible a better world.â€
In doing so, in choosing to commit to that path now rather than later, we take the almost-certain risk that people will be hurt. I don’t know how to avoid it. But compared to the suffering I see coming in 20, 50 years? It will pale in comparison, as it has throughout history. I have to choose this moment, this time. If a Republican is elected, yes, there will be pain, and plenty of it. Another leader will rise, however, and we will have this opportunity again. I could vote for Clinton. I could support her in fear of what might happen in the following decade. But how much further down the rabbit hole will we have gone when the time comes and we are truly forced to change?
My post yesterday about Clinton was not a good one. What I said yesterday about Clinton was what I believe: her actions on gay marriage were the one thing that will always prevent me from voting for her. I cannot stomach that. But I was wrong when I said that I would vote for others. That post missed the point, and made it seem as if I stand in opposition to her. I suppose I do, but I do not stand against her alone. We cannot focus on the individual, but on what they stand for.
I am not sure if I will reject this system entirely at some point in the next few decades. I just don’t know how we can survive if we do not decide to change things and change them quickly in the spirit of our fellow humans. I don’t know yet if it will require a true revolution, of thought, action, heart, and spirit; I am hoping we can change this now. I fear the revolution, because that sort of action has yet to fulfill the hopes of those revolting. Almost always it produces progress, and yet always so far still greater misery. But it may be our only option at some point in the not-too-distant future. We must evolve to the next level of society or our species may perish in darkness. Maybe not this century, maybe not this millennia—but eventually, should we prove unable to reconcile ourselves to each other, we will.
So I ask you, though you may not agree with me, not to attack me for my choice. I am desperate. I refuse to give in to the world that tells me to; I may fall, and hard, but I will go out fighting every step of the way. And with that comes a harshness towards myself and my times; there is no way to progress without some suffering, and I must take that step now in order to avoid an inescapable situation years later.
On edit: well, I'm realizing that this comes off as really grim and hopeless. On the contrary, I love this world! My life isn't perfect, but it sure as hell is worth living. Just...quick disclaimer haha. It isn't my entire outlook
The smell of broccoli farts, clove cigarettes, and patchouli overwhelmed me and I had to stop. Kid, seriously: shut the **** up. Go back to a real major, get a job, and stop thinking you're the first to say this exact shit. Kids in the 50's and 60's who poured this shit out are now gazing ovre Sausalito with tens of millions gathering interest. Stop taking yourself so seriously, unless you intend to do more than post on DU, where the only thing that ever happens is Skinner bans half the folks and Randy calls the other half privileged. Scrape the dicks out of your ass and get to work, son.
Take heed, folks: this is a serious 11th hour run at a DOTY nomination. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251645145)
The replies are priceless. Seriously, these people think they're special.

Says the person who is almost homeless, almost out of chow, essentially jobless, going down the drain in a touchy-feely major and looking at utter and complete failure.
IOW: Gimme.

7 years of Dear Leader and you're a friggin' basket case.

That thread is full of drooling anxiety filled special snowflakes. Thinking the government,in this case The Bern, is going to solve everything. When in most cases they are the problem.

Lenin & Stalin's version of socialism starved millions to death, and sentenced 10s of millions to death in labor camps.
Mao's version of socialism starved 10s of millions to death, and sentenced 10s of millions to death in labor camps.
Kim I, II, & III's version of socialism starved millions to death, and sentenced more millions to death in labor camps.
The Ethiopian 1970s/1980s version of socialism starved hundreds of thousands to death (remember "We Are the World"?).
:banghead: :thatsright: But F4lconF16, "do(es)n’t know that socialism will work"?! Socialism - even ignoring Hitler's version of socialism - has proven itself multiple times a mass-starving, mass-murdering, economic failure! :thatsright: :banghead:
It should be painful to be that willfully ignorant and stupid.

That looked like some kind of manifesto. Did she blame certain classes of people for her woes and threaten to kill them? No good manifesto is complete with out that.
-
Silly. That's because all those other socialists didn't know how to properly implement socialism. OUR socialists have the perfect ideas to make it all work.

Not to foget Winston Churchill's observation about how communism (self-described 'socialism') only last until they run out of OPM.

The first line was painful to read. I stopped right there.
This DUmmy is definitely the Queen of Dramaland, riding a Drama LLama, crying to his mama.

It's not difficult to translate dummie talk. It goes something like this (and is applicable in 99% of situations):
"I'm a DUmmie, therefore, I'm a idiot but this internet thing allows me to put my idiocy on display for all to see".

In 50 years, I am not sure we are going to be able to grow enough food or find enough water to go around.
You can thank an unfettered EPA and their oppressive regulations for a big chunk of that little problem.

The EPA, which, if I'm not mistaken, was pushed by liberals/progressives to SAVE the earth for future generations?

You know you live in the wealthiest country in the world when we can afford for our young men to become complete pussies without even the slightest intervention. Congrats, F4, you turned in your degree plans, your future, and your man parts in exchange for the liberal magic beans of "social awareness." Welcome to a life of ducking the Man, along with the hippie chick who had the kid you insisted she abort during a five-hour tirade that also covered Samuel Gompers and feudal Europe. The streets of Portland and Seattle are lousy with homos like yourself, who would rather earn the nods of worthless turds on a message board than strike out on your own. You even have to option of DOING something about all your concerns, but we both know you won't.
Anyone wonder how 50-year-old DUmmies got that way? Here's your object lesson.

Unfortunately, we need to blame an executive order by Nixon.
Like all government agencies, it quickly grew out of hand and oppressive.

I'm embarrassed to be sharing a planet with this whiner. What a pathetic excuse for a human being. Why do people like this continue to live and breathe? I swear, if I was this depressed I'd off myself just to save others from my misery.

Yes it is completely hopeless dummie. My advice is to shoot up some heroin until you OD.
Problem solved!
5 cents please.
