This is the truth I see as well. I'm around a lot of upper crust events, old money decision maker millionaires. I'm taking pictures so I overhear a lot I probably shouldn't, literally the fly on the wall.

They are not doing things maliciously on purpose. It's more like what George Carlin said, it's a club and we ain't in it. They are ignorant to what the upper middle-class and below actually do and they really don't care to learn or can't grasp it. They do things based more on their perspectives in an echo chamber. They don't make friends outside that circle.

Ask them a basic question from highschool science and they will respond with a very wrong answer with absolute confidence. I've met homeless people on the street with more intelligence.

You have to experience things or work for them to gain any knowledge.

Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

Most politicians do evil shit because the system of capitalism compels them to. There is no way to “win” capitalism without being evil. If you aren’t willing to do whatever it takes to win, you will inevitably be eaten by someone who is.

Basically: Hanlon's Razor

it becomes "have you met my cousin KevinMaverick?"

A couple of really solid book if you like this:

a history of the world in seven cheap things by raj patel

exocapitalism by marek poliks

So capitalism is a problem for everyone in the world, but there's something more fundamental happening in the US. Capitalism is just an excuse, but people really do not give a fuck about their communities in the US, or at least a small minority do care. 90% of people of all walks of life, they just wanna make a million dollars and they won't flinch to kill a neighbor for it. Hell, half of them won't flinch to kill a family member for a million bucks.

Yes, it's human made causes, not supernatural, so of course they need human made solutions. Like human trafficking and infections will not get fixed by incantations, but can be fixed with data-backed solutions. Use Sagan's baloney detection kit to figure out what has backing and peer reviewed, and is best for healthy, happy humanity of the majority, no just the wealthy owners.

Yeah the system lets "evil" float to the top. Different systems would encourage different results.

True, but at a certain point the time and attention diverted into the nuances within evil becomes a big component of the banality part.

and there's different kinds of evil, not just one.

ya like I remember reading this one comment that talked about how people were not examining the LGNTQIA+ Ban in Niger with nuance.

Like listen I get it The Nigerien People are being evil by issuing and enforcing that ban , AND YES I dont think that anyone who reads this comment should not give aid to, advocate for or go to Niger but you have to understand where they are coming from. BAck when americans and french were occupying the government of Niger with a Nigerien puppet government(and the puppet government was there MOSTLY to conduct Unequal Exchange Trade Deals) there were a lot of new , western ideas thst were forced onto the Nigerien people like seeing 2SLGBTQIA+ peoples as just part of the Common People...but the problem with this is that the averahe Nigerien person grew up around people where very conservative ways of thinking were the norm. Conservative ideas like 'if you let the gays live or cooperate with them you and your family will be cursed. Or youll magicaly get 'gayed' yourself.' Heck people in the country of Nigeria the next country over think the same way. Ive been to Nigeria and my relatives live there too and most of them ive talked to have this very conservative way of thinking sadly. So the puppet government was outting ideas on the people which were not widely held by the people there. So when the Nirgerien military couped out the puppet government and replaced it with a russian-backed puppet government , and we all know how anti-2SLGBTQIA+ the russians are, THATS what made it possible flr an anti-2SLGBTQIA+ law to be passed and enforced theee for so easily. But a lot of this current backwardness in Africa can be originated from the times of both Caliphate and European colonialism. The cultural and economic developments of most Africans was stunted by these invasions , kidnapping, emslavement, resource milking, and the unequal exchanges that occurred during these times. Most Africans therefore see it as almost impossible to live side-by-side in peace witj either europeans or even with Muslims (thats why there is a lot of Christian vs. Muslim conflict in Africa). And we can all conclude that if Africans find it tough to live beside peaceful Christians , Muslims or europeans they damn as well sure see it as being tough to live beside peaceful people who live with their gender identitiies and sexualities in ways that were rarely seen as common amongst Africans even 2 or 3 decades ago.

Think about what the averahe African person has been through over the past millenia or two...The average Christian, Muslim , or European that the average African person has encountered whether in the past and maybe even today is one who was hostile to them so of course the Africans eventually have developed a distrust of them and of many outsiders. So of course they have developed a general distrust of ALL outsiders even people who try to live by or bring in from foreign lands these ideas or things related to being 2SLGBTIQIA+

Norman Finklestein said the same thing about why he supported the Houthis sven though the slogan of the Houthis was '[REDACTED] to all Americans, [REDACTED] To All Jews'. Normam basically said: 'Think about the average Houthi person. Think about what the average Houthi person has been through over the last few centuries. Think abiut the average type of Jew oe average type of american that a Houthi has encountered. .... the average Houthi has only encountered Jews and americans that have blown up their families, their pets , their spouses and their children. So OF COURSE theyre gonna have animosity towards most americans and most jews. But wjen you think very carefully about it the slogans of the Houthis is completelt irrelevant to what they do today. The Houthis are slowing down the Genocide in Palestine through thwir blockade and missiles . If there was a group that back in the 30s and 40s were slowing down the Holocaust but their slogan was something stupid like 'Everyone Should Drink Farts' do you think we would give a flying fuck about their stupid slogans? No! Of course not. The Houthis have a stupid slogan ya I get it. But its irrelevant. Theyre doingg what they oughta be doing which is stalling a Genocide so I dont really have to care about how smart or dumb or excluse or inclusive their slogans are'

TLDR. Both evil and good have A LOOOOT of nuance because humans are very nuanced , emotional , and illogical creatures. Humans are simulfaenously the smartest and the stupidest species Ive ever encountered .

Maga translation: "kill the gays"

only problem is that most modern socieites reward you for helping bad people or actively help bad people ( THATS why we have so many shitty politicians in so many high places) and punishes you for ALL the hurt thst you conduct against people , whether they be gopd or bad.

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'" -- George Carlin

Worst thing we have done is what is the truth? And validating everyone's opinion and not just telling them they are fucking stupid.

Preach.

Greed is evil

Yes, the supernatural, and other controlling systems, that keep people obedient in low-level and magical thinking, prevents them from using science, tech and all the things that improve their lives. The systems teach to not question, don't go beyond right/wrong to higher thinking that needs nuance and real life data-backed what works. Also most don't learn how the ego tries to protect in unhelpful ways, and transcend the ego, in this life now. Don't let the old ways override the prefrontal cortex critical thinking and knowledge that is already proven. It's hard to do that if don't know about this or told it's bad to question, and the supernatural ideas are all one knows. Need broad education somehow that people welcome. Sagan's Baloney detection kit is a wonderful start, read The Demon Haunted World and the story of the invisible fire breathing dragon!

I wish everyone could escape the controlling systems and be free and self-actualize. We are conscious waves of one ocean, made of billions of years old elements, the universe understanding itself, continuous DNA from the first life to us, which survived all the extinction events, but many will suffer in the current, human-caused one. There is less suffering with less tribal and supernatural ways, since that is not the cooperation and data-backed ways the real world needs. The cosmos is indifferent to us and nothing supernatural is coming to save the one habitable planet we know of like this.

Managing a daycare is pretty freaking hard, especially in this economy. Look it up, someone who is successful at managing a daycare is a very well organized disciplined and hardworking person.

Edit: but i will say i 100% agree with you, ideology is complete nonsense when voting for politicians. Cut taxes or increase spending, it's the same thing it's just an accounting trick whether you have more money at the end of the year because your taxes were lower or you got some subsidy.

What matters is that whatever policy is chosen is implemented effectively or not. The person i vote for is always going to be the person i think has more integrity (because if you are corrupt you're just gonna hurt the People no matter what) and then second is more competent. Literally nothing else matters.

I dont place particular emphasis on logistics, but a competent leader will be sure to put a trustworthy logistics expert in charge of that
