Comment on Despair Where Once Lived Hope by Elizabeth Tai //despair-where-once-lived-hope/#comment-1504 Tue, 04 Jul 2023 09:27:15 +0000 /?p=5596#comment-1504 Feel this today, especially after Google changed its privacy policy to say that if you post anything online, it’s theirs to scrape to train their AI tools. The feeling of powerlessness and rage is not fun.
I hope light will return again.

Comment on How Did I Miss This? Eye-Opening Day by Donna Cavalier //how-did-i-miss-this-eye-opening-day/#comment-1489 Fri, 16 Jun 2023 11:01:15 +0000 /?p=5574#comment-1489 Seeing that show, though, I think it’s larger than I would ever have imagined. Or if nothing else, the ideology likely exists perhaps in other names, in broader ways. Your ideas are excellent. Unfortunately, changes that large can’t happen in this atmosphere. It’s so depressing to see what is happening.

Comment on How Did I Miss This? Eye-Opening Day by Robert Felty //how-did-i-miss-this-eye-opening-day/#comment-1488 Fri, 16 Jun 2023 08:44:20 +0000 /?p=5574#comment-1488 I had not heard of the IBLP before. Thanks for mentioning it.

I really wonder if this is the underlying causes of the widening gap in the USA though. It seems to me like this remains a very fringe organization.

Personally, I gave up on the USA and left for Germany five years ago. One of the things I notice in Germany is that there are many different political parties, and pretty much all of them are reasonable except for one, the AfD, (Alternative for Germany), which gets only about 5-15% of the vote generally. None of the other parties will form a coalition with them. Having multiple political parties helps to reduce the black vs white, us vs. them, type mentality that seems so pervasive in the United States. So that is my solution – rewrite the constitution to allow for multiple parties and coalition governments, and put term limits on supreme court justices – in Germany, supreme court services serve only one 12-year term, which is still long enough to not be influenced so much by politics, but it also means that choosing a supreme court justice is not such a big decision.

YES! The ultimate setting for being who you are!
