Gee, it's almost like it's important for the long term success of society to have systems in place that make sure it's not a burden to create new people to take over for your generation after their bodies are too old and broken to keep working and society functioning.

Then again, the decisions have already been made by the people with the power to make them, and technology/automation are in line to replace workers. They'll be a little loud and problematic until the numbers naturally even themselves out, but we'll be left with an enlightened society of capitalist asset owners being supported by a massive technological network.

Unless there are consequences for not providing answers, they're not giving any to you.

You can let that be the end of it or not, your choice.

How convenient for him, for a massive tragedy to occur which rallys the citizens together towards his cause, just as his rule was about to end.

I'm astounded this business model somehow continues to exist.

It's also been 6 years of a concerted effort to sway their opinion towards the fringe through bad actors slowly and methodically moving the goalposts.

Some are in the deep end, but many are just blindly following like sheep because they're too busy simply trying to get by. They're not evil by nature, they're just stupid and have been weaponized. There needs to be work to bring them back in a manner that doesn't scare or shame them.

My intention wasnt to say both sides think the same, it's exactly the opposite. It's that neither side thinks the way the other is painted.

While both extreme fringes are being sold as mainstream now, the majority of people are simply more complicated than that. People on the right need to recognize that their party has been taken over, and put aside the greed of short term wins to consider if they really back this ideology. You're instantly branded a RINO and tossed aside if you do, and fear arising from cultlike mob mentality is used to keep people at the fringes.

Good call, that wasn't even supposed to be in this thread.
