good point / interesting post / everything runs in a circle doesn't it ?? a wheel within a wheel as old ezekiel put it / in america we haven't experienced the full effect of fascism yet / we don't know how dangerous it is / we've been playing footsie with it for a while / getting cozy / i dunno do you think marching in the streets would help ??
Doesn't have to be marching in the streets, just SOMETHING that grabs people, wakes them up; have them declare one way or another that they're SERIOUS about democracy. Stand up against wanna-be dictators, fascists, and their minnions. Something that catches people's imagination. I don't know WHAT it could be.
right / i guess i try to do that with my creative writing and my cafe conversations / try to expose the assumptions and expectations that we operate with and don't allow us to see the possibilities / i'm not partial to democracy / sounds good on paper but it gets contorted like all the other isms / some synthesis and evolvement of all the systems we've invented would be good / i do hope for change and positive change like you / change that values life over dogma / kindness over money / we can do it we're the humans / we should celebrate that / we should recognize that we're alive in a body on a planet / start from there and build something better

Sorry, I missed answering... I agree, democracy isn't perfect/great, but it's the best we have 🤩
