A random thought brought about by Zelazansky's comments.

We live in a sad time where fascism is trying to present itself as an appropriate form of government.

A form of government which posits the idea that the wealthy is the most apropos form of social justice.

A society in which a lower class is needed.

A society which believes that those with riches have the wisdoms to rule the masses.

A society that believes that People like Putin, Trump and so many others have the wisdom to rule simply because they own a lot of shit.

The fascists are getting bolder and I don't know whether to say we're fucked or that we're waking up.

nothing will. It seems like every day you hear about a state looking to pass a law that is beyond appalling. Based upon Rethug behavior in this country it is hard for the US to act like we have a right to the moral high ground. I would agree that we are so fucked and it is hard to understand why people want to even have children in this country.
