we live in a global theocracy that keeps everyone in different levels of poverty to make us compete as tools of predatory capitalism
it's designed to always have someone worse off to keep others "in line" and motivate people to keep working
people are displaced and die in the movement toward a better day - whether being forced to move or always hustling - and if they complain too much or anger the comfortably privileged they're sent "back"
we should be living aligned with universal human rights no matter what government, flag, or philosophy
***
where in the world do I really belong?
where does universal human rights sit at the center of their society?
where truly no one gets left to die?
where has it been able to flourish without predatory capitalism coming into play?
without it actually being a hypocritical theocracy?
america would have been that center, but it actually needs people to be classist for the economy to function. it constantly kills people, lets them die when we have more resources than our grandchildren could even need, making people fight out of a false sense of scarcity - and calls it morality. another country would persecute lgbtq and their allies. another would kill you for being too outspoken a woman, marrying you off and making you reproduce for political purposes. another still has blasphemy laws. another would commit you to slavery.
an oligarchy will never be the answer. you can't cut off the ends from the bread and still call it a full loaf.
genocide - of any nature - will only ever lead to more genocide.
america was supposed to be the better place. the whole world needs to be. some place needs to be. if you make pockets of paradise you just get more of the same candyland economic relativity problems. we all need to acknowledge universal human rights.
ps:
Did you know it's possible to live in a world where people don't kill each other right?
Like completely possible.
They've done it.
Could do it again.
You know whenever I guess people stop wanting to kill each other more than they want to feel like they should never have to worry about it.
As humans we can choose to be so over this shit by now.

A major component of candyland is using what we love and need against us for control.
Everything good can be exploited.
The "on drugs" thing should have stopped.
People from all walks of life are on a variety of substances that range from sugar and coffee and nicotine to weed to alcohol to all the shit we still have on the taboo list.
There is medicinal use for everything or people wouldn't be so compelled to take it. We just weren't allowed to do the science to help people do this right.
We've let the country become ableist and classist to the point of genocide. It really is social murder.
Shouldn't have a correlation to homelessness unless someday someone wants to make a discrimination case on the basis of addiction itself along with depression, anxiety, PTSD and CPTSD that explains how people who weren't the best for the economy were encouraged to have fun like everybody else, couldn't afford it, and end up fodder for the recovery circuit.
What did someone say? "Rich kids pay fines. Poor kids go to jail."
