“Gone with the Wind” and even more so Robert Ruark’s “Uhuru”. And even George Orwell’s “Down and Out in London and Paris” has an early and very cavalier description and his “Burmese Days” is filled with racial slurs.

I do wince at parts of “Uhuru”, “Burmese Days” and “Down and Out in London and Paris”. But you cannot childproof all of reality.
And in fact, that will impact the very people it pretends to protect, while savagely attacking any middleclass left with any resources left to favor a predatory and mercenary overt seizure and redistribution of wealth from the public sector to the private sector, from the more liberal parts of even the private sector to the conservative parts, with collateral damage that cannot be fixed.

A real world model in which female complainants do not exist outside psychiatric institutions (as if thats a joke), is not a real world.

We should not have reinvent the wheel over and over with a lame entertainment angle for ai and data miners. That is exploitation of human life.

Is that what “The revolution will not be televised” means?

It would be inaccurate to say that I am a far left radical rather that a left-liberal catlady, civilian, publicly funded formerly, Green scientist. If you change the properties of an organism or situation etc it won’t work as well.

I wish it was only the GOP one has to contend with and not also this mercenary corporate power.
In the end there is nothing new and no learning, but more explicit reinforcement of why one behaves as one does. I am on DU as DU’s TOS represent pragmatism as I accept it. It is what it is.

But I will do my best by science, the left of centre etc.

I am kinda coming out of what I vaguely hoped was some kind of camouflage to throw off GOPish people probably. I find even decent conservatives confusing.
Except on DU, I don’t really like to be honest. I even got two posts removed recently .

It is good for me. I was never very agreeable, but I had gotten into the habit of reflexively trying to..I am not sure anymore..probably regroup..


I was watching this show “Beef” and the funniest part was these two millenials who are trying to talk about “safe spaces” etc as they get increasingly incensed.

This is an angering reality and for many reasons that therapy cannot fix. I am glad I have you guys here on DU.

In a way I suppose it is most like Mastodon. But better. Its format and the admins and grassrootsy.

I don’t know. I could never abide any other site. There used to be a few DUers who no longer post (TSExile, Dennis Donovan..I hope they are okay).
