lyrycsyntyme commented on: In The Middle Of Everything Else by allets 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Not particularly moved by SC leak: Abortion leak is about (a) sheepherding people back into voting system, as many - particularly on the left - were in the process of exiting, and (b) keeping the public fixated on what are percieved culture wars, so that we don't tear down the castles together. Myself, I am "pro-life" (the currently unpopular position), but I see this is very cynically, with what I believe is good reason. If not for this news, Republicans would have surely won a super majority of both the House and Senate this November - which neither party wants. When a party wins a SM, they can't create 'Joe Manchin's' or 'Mitt Romney's' or - taking a walk back through time - 'dixicrats' as excuses for why they're not doing what their voters really want. They can't blame the filibuster, either, which both parties claim to hate when they have the majority, but magically never get rid of, even though the majority party can write it out of procedure. So, political parties ultimately being subservient to business interests, not people interests, never want too big a majority in a modern "democratic" set up. This news should help keep the Republicans in the 50's, in terms of Senate seats. They'll also win the house, but it'll be a lot closer now. I also have some other reasons for being concerned about the SC potential ruling, despite being "pro-life", but those concerns are that this is also an indication of broader plans for population reduction being well on their way, since the ruling class wants a low peasant population in an AI future. But that's another paragraph or few for another day. I'm sure you've already picked up on some of that from my writing and our past discussions here ; ) [ go to comment ]

allets commented on: Attack on Women and LGBTQA rights. (Explicit) by elliot_jordan2003 4 years 28 weeks* ago* The Rant: . A PostPoem tradition. "isolating them from reality..." made me pause--that exclusionary attitude is harmful. All excellent points, disenfranchisement and lynching is back, California, Grand Rapids, Michigan - saddness and now talk of ending traffic stops by police. All the shootings - lack of mental health care... harm ad nauseum. Good rant. . ~A~. [ go to comment ]

allets commented on: Just Above A Setting Sun by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Very RomantIc Memory: Lyrical, meter would meld well into a song. Especially, "dripping into a sunset/sitting on a pier" and "a barrier between your gentle way/and the splintered wood" . Transcendent lines those. . ~A~ [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Twitter Purchase 18 Thoughts by saiom 4 years 28 weeks* ago* It's a lose lose situation.: It's a lose lose situation. Twitter was already owned by censorious billionaires - most particularly by members of the genocide-committing Saudi royal family. Is Musk better? No. Is he worse? No. This is a rebranding effort, and a way to continue censorship under the disguise of promising free speech. It's like watching political parties take turns lying to us about how they are going to fix things, except with a corporation. And, yes, in the process Musk is going to protect his place of power within the oligarchy, and probably even enhance it. [ go to comment ]
