President Donald Trump participates in a roundtable on antifa

[BeTheGoddess]

I'm Antifa. I was even voted one of the top 5 Antifa for 2018.

If you think a bunch of stoned genXers are a threat to your national security, you have already lost.

That's the peril of uncentralized activism...

the 'toxification' via activism itself.

Conspiracy theorists might offer... "you might have seen this coming"...
but that's just armchair quarter-backing as the same can be said of them.

That's no fun.

It's comical to me how many on here choose to put "radical extremist" in labeled boxes they don't like.

Yet when they discuss Fascism -- it's like "NO" "NO" "NO" "NO"

I sometimes feel I'm in the invisible middle of the horseshoe, looking in despair at both sides.

I think there is a political version of The Dunning-Kruger effect where the most bias think their centered and the most centered think they're bias.

Or it's just defined halfway and comes off that way.

But I am not in the center. Let the fucking Buddhists contemplate their enlightenment under trees and erode their attachments on the middle ground.

I used to think I was centered.

Because it's not just decided by the X Axis of the financial system(commie/capitalism), but also the Y axis of the social system (Authoritarian/Freedom)

And I have no desire to to find the middle ground on that axis. Regardless of where all the elected presidents really are. America political is on the world's upper right. 

My view's have drifted down and left under Trump 2.0 as certain views become more important.



I went from +4.5, -2.5  to +2.0, -4.5 since 2023/2024.

* Edited to include where I think The American Left/Right adjusted Candidate spectrum exists, with outliers. 

On I Side With that seems to align with several conflicting ideologies between 70 and 80% at once. 

And that apparently all means I Side With The Green Party (74%), Forward Party(73%), No Labels(70%), Peace and Freedom(73%), Democrat. (70%), Socialism (68%)

Right/left seems more top/bottom than right/left.

It makes me wonder.... the whole construct...

Fascism is bad... and Anti-fascism is bad too...

Someone, somewhere is either lying to themselves, or us.

How about floating?

I hover over a situation.  I let it flow as will to see where it goes -- who it affects.

There is reality in "money & power" rule the world -- but how do I fit that into my own consciousness?  Can I, in some way, shift that dynamic or is that hard fixed? I'd say it's currently hard fixed.

Where can I realistically affect change in this world as it is today?

Fascism is bad... and Anti-fascism is bad too...

When "anti-fascism" engages in rioting, looting, arson, assault, and murder against innocent people all while protesting against other people who aren't fascist and yet call them as such ... yeah, they are bad.

Mira, I really wish I knew who is spreading this brown people have it horrible victim mentality. I would say most of us have been here for generations legally mijo we aren't secretly crying inside over this nonsense and no side should be using it to push their agenda. We aren't your gardeners and farm workers we are your business owners, your police, your Senate representatives, your cardiologist and neurologist, your dentists. Everyone has the same potential and your work ethic in America is what separates you no matter your race creed or ethnicity

If you think what is going on in Portland labeled protest or resistance is what people want to live with/under, then you have already lost.  

Most people like to help, most people don’t want to be indentured servants to a cause.  People are starting to understand the difference.
