@rubinjoniIt's a really interesting exploration of how unity vs division develops.You have these groups that have deep differences in language but with cohesion in shared cultural values, vs coups that have shallow differences in language, but deep divisions in values and identity.

The tools we use to build the world determine what that world looks like. I want to live in a world of compassion and empathy, and sincere care, and genuine apologies.We have 72 daysReach out to friends, and organizeShare support and knowledgeTake care of each otherlet's end the US governmentIt's time to Balkanizehttps://retro.social/@katanova/113457328944203852

I see the possibility that we can build a future where we are no longer data points in a machine, where we are people sharing love and kindness and respect. That future gives me hope.I want your help to make it happen.We have 73 days.I want you to get organizedShare strength and knowledgeEnd the United StatesIt's time to BalkanizeTomorrow, we take a look at rhetorical/propaganda strategies for reaching people in positions of authority.https://retro.social/@katanova/113450647463782578

Looks like the Kamala Harris campaign has finally started using empathy.I see that they know how. I'm angry they weren't using it before.

I'm seeing household/off-grid battery and solar supply shortages for at least the next year.I think the way to go is going to be hybrid power systems. Generators and big batteries.

We're all so frustrated and exhausted from living in a world that is controlled by forces and people who can never take a risk on letting someone "unproven" demonstrate their competence.I'm so fucking tired of living in a zero-trust society.We've been looking to authorities to let us do what we know we can do.It's time to start looking to each other, and asking each other for help with the things that we don't have to do alone.

One of those saturday morning cartoon morals is "Always be true to yourself"the reason is that pretending to be someone you're not, putting on a face for other people, it rots your soul.The mask is off.The soul of the United States is rotten. Now its truth is exposed.This is a country of greed, selfishness, avoidance, and rejection of introspection.This is reality. This is the world we live in.Now we can move forward.

I've decided to turn off the home feed, the global feed, and all notifications other than replies.I have vastly restricted the psychological space that I exist in. You can step into that space if you really want to. That's up to you.I think this will greatly improve my ability to exercise self-control of my emotions and disposition.

@rubinjoni Come on, there's got to be something other than politics that's like waking up to find a giant dick drawn on a roof.

@socketwench Even better, you get to sit back and watch while the Boxers put on a show!

After you've done what you can to make a better world tomorrow, please step back and take time for yourself. Step away and let yourself rest.Whatever is next will take your energy and focus.Now is the time to rest, collect our energy, and plan a way forward.We cannot react into a better world.Building a better world requires intentional action and care.Blind reactions and avoidance have gotten us here.Now we end the cycle.https://retro.social/@katanova/113425825972433670

Hah, I get it.The Harris campaign is asking for $47 specifically to build up a subconscious association between Harris and the number 47.That's funny.

Some fucker on a god-complex tried to mind-control me.I don't tolerate that shit, reported them to the FBI.

Hey, there's some weird vibes going on in the world right now.Look out for folks, yeah? I just got sent some weird fascist racist conspiracy propaganda with a side of god-complex.People with few social outlets are especially vulnerable to propaganda. If you know someone like that, reach out to them, see if they're okayFriends don't let friends fall prey to fascist propaganda.

@JeroenBaten In my mind, it's all about finding people to play with. Doesn't matter if you're skilled or not, doesn't even matter if the people you're playing with are skilled or talented. What matters is playing, expressing feelings.

@cy So you know what the problem is, are you asking for help of some kind?

It's time for the Empaths to wake up to the world.Wake up and take your place.The world doesn't work without you.It still might not work even with you, but it's worth trying anyway.

I think it's worth considering that there is a great deal of correlation between a child having the internet as their primary social outlet, and having really shitty or just absent parents.If this describes your childhood, I think it's worth considering how your life and identity have been shaped by the internet, and being raised by the internet.Maybe the internet doesn't really make for a good teacher or parent.Maybe being raised by other feral children wasn't great for us.

I'm afraid of what could happen, and I fear for the safety of the people I care about.It's okay to be afraid.We help each other get through the hard times.We don't have to be alone.
