@Debra Charles ... You forget that in the 1970's Good Old Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education on the Federal Level and that is when the quality of education started its downfall. In the 1990's kids were told not to ask questions that went against what was being taught and when they did they were silenced by the teachers. It has only gotten worse as schools implemented subject matter that should never have been in a school to begin with. Far to many kids are being told they have ADD/ADHD and pills shoved down their throats in order to keep them docile and complicit within the indoctrination process. The simple fact is many of those kids are just bored to death and need to be taught in a more interesting manner that they can grasp and understand.

Here in Canada they couldn't WAIT to trample more democratic rights with another trade agreement. As a canadian it was bizarre to watch as Trump reopened NAFTA, something NO canadian politician will even MENTION let alone Canada having been screwed over by the states far more than the US did by Mexico. And yet Trump reopened it and demanded Mexico pay its auto workers what Canada and the US were paying. NO canadian politician had ever said that, canadian politicians basically help pack the bags of any industries leaving the country. When the FTA was first signed, 30,000 muffler manufacturers were put out of work in a month. And at those negotiations Canada wasn't even THERE. So how bizarre a world is it that your country gets its best trade negotations from the country that screwed us over, but from a president who is most certainly crazy. And here in Canada when he slapped the tariff on softwood the media and goverment went crazy on how bad Trump was for trade when EVERY person in canada knows damn well we pretty much GIVE our softwood lumber to the corporate license holders, so Trump was most certianly right.

Do you think their is a chance for diplomacy at that moment of the assault? When someone or a group of individuals in power violate the sanctity of human rights and human dignity and reasoning and diplomacy fail, what recourse is their? Let's take WWII for an example, is doing nothing better than defending a less powerful people because to do so would be considered "violence"? Would slavery still exist in this country without physical force? Is freeing enslaved people "violence"? People must stand up to tyranny or they would be enslaved or destroyed. To label every use of physical force as "violence" is reckless. Of course the use of physical force should always be avoided, and only be used as a last resort.

This is the first time in my life where I’m not proud to be an American. I’ve paid $51,000 in taxes so far this year and i seems like Russia to me or what I would think communism would feel like as I’ve never experienced it. There’s a lot more I could say but I don’t want my kids wondering why I’m getting upset

[@ivovlot4094]

@@67hundredthz If you pay 51.000 tax in the US you must have a huge income and at least have some 150.000 left to spend on yourself. Not bad, I'd say... Biden has not had the time to change the tax code and if he does what he says, you and everyone else earning under 400.000 should be OK. Nothing much has changed in the US till today in politics. simply because all energy and lots of money go to the pandemic. The fake outrage is perpetuated by the usual suspects, FOX, OANN, Newsmax and their ilk. My sons in Florida immediately blamed Biden for the hike in gas prices that occurred even before his inauguration. True, the gas prices went up a lot, also in Europe where I live, in the UK and Canada and Australia and probably everywhere else in the world. All caused by a president that is not even in function? There are at least 10 factors that determine the gas price at the pump. Covid disrupted the consumption and production of oil products, travel increased, oil price had gone from almost zero to a high level etc. etc. Inflation increases too, all over the world. Not good news for me, a pensioner with a net income of about 38.000 USD per year, after paying about 30% in taxes and of course I pay also VAT, tax on gasoline, real estate tax, watership fees, local taxes etc. This income will not rise along with the rising inflation-driven cost of living. I don't whine like you though, because I understand that it's not the government or an American president that causes this. It's the f**ing OPEC, the big corporations in oil, pharma, food and tech that set the prices of almost everything we buy. Those corporations have way, way too much power, so when they want something done, they will get it, using their monopolies to extort governments in giving tax breaks, cheap labour, cheap raw materials and a license to pollute the world as much as they see fit to maximize teir profits. Right and left wing politicians make only marginal changes to the system, on the fringes. Clinton did very well for the economy of the rich and the country, but not for the working people. He presented a balanced budget for the firat time in a hundred years or so. Bush made mess of the economy with his wars in the ME and the finacial crisis caused by the unregulated wolves and sharks in the banking system and Wall street. Obama was presented with this heritage and was forced to spend tons of dollars to bail out banks and industries. People who couldn't pay their mortgage anymore were not bailed out.. Left and right, it's almost the same if you look at the results. Some shift money to the rich, some try to raise the minimum wage, or introduce affordable care, but in the end nothing of importance changes. This is more or less the jest of the message of Roger Waters, whom I admire as a musician and songwriter.

1:34 "Whether something transcendental has to happen in our lives before we can join the human race and start empathizing with everyone else ... " Roger Waters shows you don't need an epiphany to start your journey toward a life of compassion and empathy.

Oh wow, he feels empathy towards other human beings, it's not like people who vote for a candidate have human rights or something, right ? What a revolutionary concept, people can choose their president for 4 years in a democracy ..

@The Wraith that’s your interpretation based off what the MSM sold you. You do realize that, correct? 🤔

And just what will these geniuses think when Trump wins by a landslide in 2020 ???

[@PoetryZound]

If he wins, it's unlikely to be by a landslide. He hasn't added new supporters and he has to hold on to the Obama voters that put him over the top in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. He has the economy on his side, but not healthcare. I think the Dems will run heavily on healthcare like they did in the midterms. I have no idea how it will turn out but it won't be a landslide in either direction.

@@PoetryZound "He hasn't added any new supporters" I suggest you look up Blexit. Guys like ABL, Jericho Greene, Kevins Corner, Mind of Jamal, Mikenificent, BCP, Tommy Sotomayor, Uncle Hotep and Conservative Twins. (That's just to get you started on his black supporters). You only see what the Media tells you to see.

Unfortunately they are governed by their feelings. They mean well, clearly, but this is what happens when you live at the top of the first world your entire life. Reality is so foreign to them.

[@PoetryZound]

@@briefcaseblues6061 Anecdotes about a handful of people don't represent a trend. Studies show there's a drop-off in support from the Obama-to-Trump voters, and and no studies have found a net increase in new Trump supporters. Your handful of people are statistically insignificant. Trump's approval rating hasn't increased beyond 42%. But I suppose anything can happen.

@shane foller Pollsters have supposedly made adjustments since 2016. We'll see how good those adjustments are.
