  First off, not related to the current chain of comments.

  Secondly, as opposed to what? Every American going totally off-grid?

    I dont know. Being more thoughtful. Being less entrenched in ideology and open to making changes that could help your community without being solely motivated by money, for or against.

      Hm… Maybe the ideas you’re presenting here would have some merit… If they had anything to do with what ya already fuckin’ said. As it stands, you’re literally just using them as a cheap “all Americans bad” gotcha. Super lame.

        American culture is bad. I dont know why you would want to defend it. If Americans weren’t obsessed with “shopping and deals” believing a life of excess is owed to them they could take pride in the things they do have. If Americans humbled themselves, each dollar, each piece of technology or clothing could be cherished rather than just furture landfill. The problem is the we live our lives and garbage in garbage out. The DNC and GOP are exactly the result of the way we live.

        This mind set is beyond changing but it is not human nature. Its greed. In america greed is good.

        Its the compromise position between ‘crushed between the gears of the machinery of oppression as you desperately try to stay above water mud by sucking on a boot so hard my whole body is dragged up with each step’ and ‘open bloody organized revolt against the fuckers who would take everything from you if you ever let anything you made see the light of day’.

        Really we’re the moderates. Maybe dont be such a fucking partisan radical.
