Listener comments!
	🎙 ♥ 10:00pm Aitch: What the world was supposed to look like.
	10:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + hey +

	🎙 ♥ 10:05pm Scott_Oz: G'day JH & Jitter Visions! 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Jonathan!
	🎙 ♥ 10:07pm Scott_Oz: Where would Sci-Fi be without Syd Mead!?
	🎙 ♥ 10:09pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:07 Or Franco Twinkie!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:12pm Franco Twinkie: Syd Mead invented a kinder, gentler version of the future. I'm still stuck in the present/past.
	🎙 ♥ 10:15pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:12 Let's hope the Orange Goblin doesn't have a future sequel mate! Or we're all fucked!🎃
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Remember, it's still January.
	10:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ya wants for RetroFuturism ...ya gets triple PostModernism. This is our Menu - choose awlready - er get outta the way. We all kindsa busy here...
	🎙 ♥ 10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:16 Unless he's on death row the gutless Republicans will back him!
	🎙 ♥ 10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 Even then!
	🎙 ♥ 10:28pm Ike: Greetings, humans!
	♥ 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 So true.
	🎙 ♥ 10:29pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:20 I'm a Nihilist Modernist with a Trailer Trash budget,. Humour me!
	🎙 ♥ 10:30pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "The Mountain" by "The Jonny Halifax Invocation" Also, this is great!
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hitler wrote 'MeinKampf' from Jail. It's as 'Morning of the Magicians' warned us about the World Views of this sort after the Nazis: 'A Few Years In the Absolute Elsewhere'.
	♥ 10:33pm Franco Twinkie: I prefer fuckface, but on second thought it gives the word fuck a bad name. Nevermind....
	🎙 ♥ 10:34pm Aitch: Buried his ex-wife in a golf course with no headstone, top bloke....
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Scott_Oz: HEAR HEAR JH!!
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: No Jonathan, everyone wants a gold toilet.
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope Giant Meteor is on the ballot this fall.
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Bobby: I am here you are here
	10:35pm thesecoronalives: I feel like we're all just counting on things getting pulled together at the last minute, but I too am starting to panic about the apparent lack of urgency so far (not that I'm doing anything myself to fix this.. : - l )
	10:36pm you said nothing: You just said nothing
	🎙 ♥ 10:36pm Scott_Oz: He feeds the selfish monkey in us mate. EVOLVE PEOPLE!!
	🎙 ♥ 10:36pm Scott_Oz: ↳ you said nothing @10:36 YOU ARE NOTHING.
	10:37pm tracy in LA: re Trump rant.... you are not alone
	🎙 ♥ 10:37pm Aitch: Check the character Homelander in show The Boys, they've made an insane Donald superhero, it's hysterical. Mind you the show-runner will be beheaded if the orange thing gets back in and ever sees the show.
	10:37pm Stevel: Bless you, brother. It is frightening, frustrating, fucked up and more. Be yourself. Stand up. Good luck.
	🎙 ♥ 10:38pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Fucken oath mate! Shit Stain is my chosen term for him!
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Okay then!
	10:39pm Sufferwords: spill- fuck 45
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Politics of the Left & the Right are different this way too : The word 'Fascist' means literally to fasten. Throw out an Ideology & they goose-step together to the Polls & mark the same box. 'Liberal' means - literally - to be tolerant of broader views. We're the Majority - but to get us to Vote as One is an entirely other matter. Not actually the same @ all. This has been the way throughout History. The Celts loved Spirals - the Romans straight Roads. Tecumseh trying to get the First Nations to unite...
	10:39pm Patty D: TDS
	🎙 ♥ 10:40pm Ike: Charisma is an incredibly dangerous power for any one person to wield -- whether we find him charismatic or not, it's undeniable that some do -- and this country already kowtows to the rich tremendously, so it's not surprising that those two things together are very very dangerous. Fortunately so far, his cult of personality seems 100% non-transferable, which is GREAT news. Someday he'll be gone and, Glob willing, it'll be decades until lightning strikes in that same spot for the fascists again.
	10:41pm America is the robot suit: Collapse or dismantle
	🎙 ♥ 10:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Ike @10:40 Shame the right seem to have locked into this brand of selfish insanity as their ongoing cause mate.
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:39 - & of course this is what happened in Germany in the 1930s - & in fact the USA already in 1968. Also I think ...we characterize Drumpf without cessation as Stooopid. & in many respects he is. But what he has done is be born into a Real Estate Fraud dynasty - & expand on the Fraud over decades & decades - learning from the Worst & most criminally corrupt Right Wing Lawyers & Consultants in all of Society.
	🎙 ♥ 10:45pm Ike: ↳ America is the robot suit @10:41 No society "collapses" or is "dismantled" within massive pain, suffering, and death. Just writing off America and saying it needs to be destroyed or dismantled is the overly simplistic campist/tankie answer for people too lazy or shortsighted to envision the long, slow path of reform.
	♥ 10:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:39 True enough. The left are ridged ideology specialists - this branch wants this, that branch wants something else, and will continue to argue about the details of what Socialism should look like. Meanwhile the house is on fire.
	🎙 ♥ 10:45pm Ike: *without, not within
	10:47pm I’m part of the problem: Who has solutions?
	10:47pm RainingChainsaws: I hear you, Jonathan! Are you familiar with "Kayfabe"? it's a wrestling thing where everyone goes along with claiming events that never happened. Trump seems the first to pull it from wrestling and apply it to politics. That's what makes the most sense to me. Angry people want to root for the villain.
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:43 Part of this I believe is that the Republican Party knows that its actual Policies are in the Popular Minority - & increasingly so. & everybody else know it too. So they have quite obviously - & increasingly - pursed everything else besides Democracy, honesty, transparency - & left actual Governing of the Nation completely in the dust in terms of their priorities. Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich~Rove were all steps along this way. It's actually not a sudden development @ all...
	10:49pm JakeGould: Left, right, tankie, hankie… Hey Jonathan! Enjoying the tunes!
	🎙 ♥ 10:49pm Scott_Oz: ↳ I’m part of the problem @10:47 If you need ask that, then not you obviously!
	10:50pm JakeGould: I wish Drumpf death. I mean it is a nasty thing to think, but he could keel over by November 2024.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:45 Also - the Democrats knowing they are the Majority ignore the house fire - ignore Populism, & any kind of political 'risk' - & appeal to a 'moderate' 'Middle' - which doesn't exist. Of course - the ultimate risk is never any risk @ all...
	10:52pm JakeGould: Jon Stewart. Joe Biden. Donnie Drumpf. Old farts all. Interesting year to come!
	10:53pm RainingChainsaws: Love that Syd Mead painting
	🎙 ♥ 10:56pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:48 I know mate. I've watched the car crash in slow motion for decades. But it is coming to a fatal impact Globally now. I predicted dump would be pres, I knew the World would not unite to fight our Planets impending Human led catastrophe. But would instead invent or reinvigorate reasons to fight over its burned remains.
	🎙 ♥ 10:57pm Scott_Oz: ↳ JakeGould @10:50 Today would be good for me!
	🎙 ♥ 11:03pm joe mulligan: free jazz was handed down to humans by aliens
	♥ 11:04pm Jherweg: I think you might be right !
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ike @10:45 If Marx was / is right - wouldn't the best thing be to learn from him & not have to fall into social conflict over & over to enact a better world ? Cause I think Lennon & (probly) the I Ching are right : The ends can't justify the means - because the means are the ends. We cannot, for instance, Kill for Peace. Another mere rebellion is not the revolution. & it won't be different next time. Yet - a house on fire is the right metaphor. Our house is indeed on fire...
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:06 - & as Marx made explicit - when does Change ever come from Above ?
	11:09pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 Giant Asteroid?
	♥ 11:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:51 I will just say this, then retire for the evening: If I was helplessly dog paddling in shark infested water, and Donald Trump offered to throw me a life line, I would say "Go fuck yourself, I would rather die than give you the opportunity to gloat at my expense!" Goodnight everybody.
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:09 That would be Change from Above ! - but, Cosmically. Not Socially. & in fact that's just it. We can no longer be Denialists of the Cosmic perspective. Our Planet is small. Our differences self-perpetuated...
	11:16pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:15 I was really disappointed when that didn't happen in 2012 like the mayans supposedly predicted
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: good evening people, i don'thave anything to add to the thread but an ambiguous anecdote, was in a leftist bookstore last night and see a book not about pol pot but by him, seeing it gave me ambiguous feelings thoughts
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:16 I don't think the Mayans said that @ all. Just one part of their Calendar ended ...& - another began. Of course - the Beginning & the End of the World are major Archetypes. Our minds & our stories feel a magnetic pull to those themes. Maybe even they are self-perpetuation that way !...
	11:20pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 was the title Holiday In Cambodia?
	♥ 11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Blissland @11:20 idk about pol pot's sense of humor
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 self-*perpetuating... Not (entirely, maybe) unlike Jonathan's observation that Drumpf's appeal to some people's instincts is a Negative one.
	11:22pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 I'm one of those walking dead people who won't die, at least since the end of 2008 if not earlier. But on another level, I feel the Earth won't begin to heal until human beings are extinct
	11:23pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:22 likely not well developed
	11:26pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 I know several people who support t***p and they are all racists and misogynists. And if not just plain stupid, then deep in denial
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:22 I think we've evolved with certain advantages - opposable thumbs to Use Things - & conceptual brains - with complex communications & complex interdependent societies. & it's all gotten us quite far. But all of those have associated problems ...& we're somewhere now we need other capacities if we're going to make it.
	♥ 11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: exchange students from other countries can't believe how behind in learning american students are and universities have basically become vocational schools. we've become stupid
	11:28pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 Honestly I'm not worried about us as much as the rest of the biosphere. We are the problem and have never been the solution
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:26 People are right that situations are negative & dehumanizing. They're wrong about why & who's doing it to them - & who can or will improve it.
	11:30pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:29 Agreed. Maybe there is no one both willing and able to do the right thing.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:30 Well - I think it's also part of the propaganda to demoralize us & think we're alone. Many people have hearts & minds that aren't garbage. But they aren't the ones on TV the most.
	♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: taxing the rich and corporations like apple who used government funded research to make their products but give nothing back are a key to gradual change
	11:35pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Oh I know. But I don't blame propaganda for why I am demoralized and feel alone. That's my actual situation. And I think almost every misanthrope wants to believe in people. And keeps trying to like an idiot
	🎙 ♥ 11:35pm Aitch: you're nothing, you're nothing, you're nobody, love liquid sky, smack loving aliens hit the goth clubs, what's not to like
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:33 More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. That I think is one of the largest & most important situations we're in.
	11:35pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:33 That would make a huge difference to revenue
	11:36pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 tax loopholes
	♥ 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Blissland @11:35 and it would change the national psyche
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:35 Which is to say it's not just propaganda - they actually succeed in isolating us & preventing authentic Culture. Which is a good point.
	11:37pm Blissland: tax loopholes, electoral college, gerrymandering, and filibuster
	11:37pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 Yeah it would
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:37 In other words - we are not a Democracy. & they don't want us to be more of one.
	♥ 11:38pm Jherweg: We’ll all have to stick together if the worst possible scenario unfolds .
	11:38pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:36 Yes it has been amazingly successful. I simply don't know how to climb out of this hole anymore. Once there was a way
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I've Been Waiting For You (Digital Mash Up)" by "... Wait whut ?! Neil & Boowie !!
	11:39pm Blissland: ↳ Jherweg @11:38 Giant Asteroid or Fascism?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:38 ...oh. Digital.
	11:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw the Heathen Tour at Berkeley Community Theatre.
	11:39pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 I don't people even realize the exponential growth of the wealth gap; it's just kind of happening while we argue over everything else. whether you love or hate ~the government~, it is the only entity that stands a chance of doing something to address this..
	♥ 11:40pm Jherweg: It’s was a digital mash up someone did , Bowie covered the song on his 2002 album Heathen and someone cut it up with the original pretty cool .
	11:41pm Blissland: I think I heard billionaires doubled what they have since 2020 ... don't have figures in front of me though. I just know it's out of control
	♥ 11:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Blissland @11:39 Heat, bee/pollinator collapse, massive crop failures, tapped-out resources, famine, more war
	11:42pm Harry Corvair: Here for this Same Sky by Chelsea Bridge, Gospel (Leeanne)
	11:43pm Blissland: ↳ StringOFperils @11:42 Unfortunately that's all going to continue to happen very slowly and inexorably
	11:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:39 Yes. A lot of this is like the Frog in slowly Boiling Water. Heat it gradually enuff - the Frog sits in it & cooks. The rates of Productivity to Wages for example. People are working more & harder - & getting less for it... & everyone thinks it's Normal - somehow.
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @11:42 A House on Fire.
	♥ 11:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Blissland @11:43 Fascism's using it
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @11:44 Often think of the Fascists as like Arsonists who both start & call in the fire. Machiavelli wrote about how to make this work - & so did Hitler & Goebbels. Nothing new @ all.
	♥ 11:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 "american carnage" i believe the phrase was
	♥ 11:49pm StringOFperils: True,, the manipulation of crowds is nothing new at this point. I do find it surprising and new to discover what people will choose. Eagerly.
	11:49pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 indeed; we have nearly full employment, but working class people are doing 50-60 hours across 2-3 jobs at a relatively low wage just to pay higher & higher rent, as more & more property is owned by fewer & fewer people (it's amazing it took this long, really, for wealth to flow so fully into the buying up of property to lease). I theorize that capitalism has kind of reached a self-sustaining point, whereby people will be able to stay employed more-or-less as they are rn, always barely making it, but getting by just well enough in order to prevent some kind of revolt..
	11:49pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 No, but there has to be a ripe situation for them to succeed, such as the neo-liberals have created since 1981
	11:49pm thesecoronalives: not to sound too wacky or anything.. ; - D
	11:49pm Blissland: People have to feel properly disenfranchised
	11:50pm Blissland: Then on top of that, you have the dnc and the clintons squeezing out Bernie Sanders
	11:50pm thesecoronalives: our economy is generating more and more wealth all the time, thus the booming markets, but it is all flowing to so few places
	11:51pm Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:49 that's sort of a perfect dystopia
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think it's worth looking @ the history of this term 'Neo-Liberal' : en.wikipedia.org...
	11:53pm thesecoronalives: and (I know this is finally turning a corner but) we have for so long valorized these tech robber barons who did little more than create some algorithm or hack to repurpose whole sectors of the economy (taxis/uber, hotels/airbnb, etc.) so that all of the industries' profits flowed directly to them
	🎙 ♥ 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jonathan. What a year, huh? Oh, it's still January.
	♥ 11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: the firebugs by max frisch www.britannica.com...
	11:54pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:52 what I mean by neo-liberalism is to encompass the globalist and so-called trickle down economics that have all but destroyed the american middle class
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:51 I do agree the Democratic Party has been one of those gradually boiling frog situations - & let go of the rope in the tug of war of the political spectrum for the Left. You can't stand on top a political 'Center' you helped to hollow out yourself...
	11:54pm thesecoronalives: with the employees of these industries being replaced by serf contractors, serving the patrons of the new companies
	11:55pm thesecoronalives: and we call this the 'sharing economy' : - D
	11:56pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 Yeah the national leadership has had a basically monolithic agenda since 1981
	♥ 11:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Out Of The Corner Of The Eye" by "Bill Orcutt Gui... this is majestic
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ the same time - I steadfastly show up & Vote the Lesser of Two Evils. Because Less Evil is what we all want & need.
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JH ~
	11:59pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:58 same- ugh.. but I sure hope the lefties who are disillusioned (over palestine, etc.) still come around by november..
	11:59pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:58 I have to wait and see what happens between now and november. My vote will be strategic regardless of who it's for. I hope it doesn't have to be for biden though
	🎙 ♥ 12:00am Scott_Oz: Thanks JH, mighty show as always mate! Stay sane & safe people. 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	12:01am Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:59 it's palestine, it's afghanistan, and it's the ever increasing wealth disparity
	🎙 ♥ 12:01am Ike: ↳ Blissland @11:56 I have to disagree strongly on this. In some ways, yes, but in many other ways, it's just not true at all. One is super pro-labor, now more than ever. The other is fucking evil with respect to workers. One got rid of that fucking "pre-existing conditions" bullshit in health care -- remember that? The other fought that. Etc. Not enough progress, but something is better than nothing.
	12:02am thesecoronalives: sing it JH! it sucks but we gotta eat it one more time.. : - l
	12:03am Blissland: ↳ Ike @12:01 well yes, I was just too lazy to qualify it
	♥ 12:03am tom tom the pipers son: i actually didn't see much of what jonathon was referring to at least in the last 45 min
	12:04am Blissland: But, it was bill clinton who enacted nafta, consolidated communications media, and overturned glass-steagel leading directly to the market crash. So.
	12:05am duck: the main reason trump exists is that people are not being represented.
	12:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ! ~ Jonathan's completely correct here. VOTE.
	12:05am thesecoronalives: yeah but bill clinton just sucked and after 1996 literally just tried to get ahead of the republicans in whatever they were planning to do next (crime bill, end of welfare, etc.)
	12:06am thesecoronalives: usually the institutional left, though lame, is not quite that bad..
	12:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's no Clinton on this Ballot.
	12:06am Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @12:05 that's kind of my whole point
	12:07am thesecoronalives: also: in this new hyper-partisan era, I feel like the institutional left has actually begun to dig in a bit here and there, because their constituencies are calling for progressive policies so much more actively..
	12:07am Blissland: I'm gonna vote for whoever I decide to, and I won't presume to tell anybody else what to do.
	12:08am thesecoronalives: I don't feel like this is 1999, where there was more of an argument that we are veering toward a mono-party
	♥ 12:08am tom tom the pipers son: this is like stuff kendra would play anyway
	12:08am thesecoronalives: feels to me now more like two very distinct ideologies embodies by the two mainstream parties..
	12:09am thesecoronalives: *embodied
	♥ 12:09am StringOFperils: Thanks for all of it
	🎙 ♥ 12:11am Ike: Thanks, JH!
	12:46am mark: Liquid Sky was phenomenal and she/he was working out at my gym I believe she was from CT. At Close Range was a masterpiece of true horror and an accurate depiction of rural crime in the U.S. One of the best movies ever made.

	🎙 ♥ 10:00pm Aitch: What the world was supposed to look like.
	10:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + hey +
	♥ 10:05pm Jherweg: Howdy gang !
	🎙 ♥ 10:05pm Scott_Oz: G'day JH & Jitter Visions! 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:07pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Jonathan!
	🎙 ♥ 10:07pm Scott_Oz: Where would Sci-Fi be without Syd Mead!?
	🎙 ♥ 10:09pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:07 Or Franco Twinkie!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:12pm Franco Twinkie: Syd Mead invented a kinder, gentler version of the future. I'm still stuck in the present/past.
	🎙 ♥ 10:15pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:12 Let's hope the Orange Goblin doesn't have a future sequel mate! Or we're all fucked!🎃
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Remember, it's still January.
	10:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ya wants for RetroFuturism ...ya gets triple PostModernism. This is our Menu - choose awlready - er get outta the way. We all kindsa busy here...
	🎙 ♥ 10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:16 Unless he's on death row the gutless Republicans will back him!
	🎙 ♥ 10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 Even then!
	🎙 ♥ 10:28pm Ike: Greetings, humans!
	♥ 10:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 So true.
	🎙 ♥ 10:29pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:20 I'm a Nihilist Modernist with a Trailer Trash budget,. Humour me!
	🎙 ♥ 10:30pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "The Mountain" by "The Jonny Halifax Invocation" Also, this is great!
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hitler wrote 'MeinKampf' from Jail. It's as 'Morning of the Magicians' warned us about the World Views of this sort after the Nazis: 'A Few Years In the Absolute Elsewhere'.
	♥ 10:33pm Franco Twinkie: I prefer fuckface, but on second thought it gives the word fuck a bad name. Nevermind....
	🎙 ♥ 10:34pm Aitch: Buried his ex-wife in a golf course with no headstone, top bloke....
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Scott_Oz: HEAR HEAR JH!!
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: No Jonathan, everyone wants a gold toilet.
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope Giant Meteor is on the ballot this fall.
	🎙 ♥ 10:35pm Bobby: I am here you are here
	10:35pm thesecoronalives: I feel like we're all just counting on things getting pulled together at the last minute, but I too am starting to panic about the apparent lack of urgency so far (not that I'm doing anything myself to fix this.. : - l )
	10:36pm you said nothing: You just said nothing
	🎙 ♥ 10:36pm Scott_Oz: He feeds the selfish monkey in us mate. EVOLVE PEOPLE!!
	🎙 ♥ 10:36pm Scott_Oz: ↳ you said nothing @10:36 YOU ARE NOTHING.
	10:37pm tracy in LA: re Trump rant.... you are not alone
	🎙 ♥ 10:37pm Aitch: Check the character Homelander in show The Boys, they've made an insane Donald superhero, it's hysterical. Mind you the show-runner will be beheaded if the orange thing gets back in and ever sees the show.
	10:37pm Stevel: Bless you, brother. It is frightening, frustrating, fucked up and more. Be yourself. Stand up. Good luck.
	🎙 ♥ 10:38pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Fucken oath mate! Shit Stain is my chosen term for him!
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Okay then!
	10:39pm Sufferwords: spill- fuck 45
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Politics of the Left & the Right are different this way too : The word 'Fascist' means literally to fasten. Throw out an Ideology & they goose-step together to the Polls & mark the same box. 'Liberal' means - literally - to be tolerant of broader views. We're the Majority - but to get us to Vote as One is an entirely other matter. Not actually the same @ all. This has been the way throughout History. The Celts loved Spirals - the Romans straight Roads. Tecumseh trying to get the First Nations to unite...
	10:39pm Patty D: TDS
	🎙 ♥ 10:40pm Ike: Charisma is an incredibly dangerous power for any one person to wield -- whether we find him charismatic or not, it's undeniable that some do -- and this country already kowtows to the rich tremendously, so it's not surprising that those two things together are very very dangerous. Fortunately so far, his cult of personality seems 100% non-transferable, which is GREAT news. Someday he'll be gone and, Glob willing, it'll be decades until lightning strikes in that same spot for the fascists again.
	10:41pm America is the robot suit: Collapse or dismantle
	🎙 ♥ 10:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Ike @10:40 Shame the right seem to have locked into this brand of selfish insanity as their ongoing cause mate.
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:39 - & of course this is what happened in Germany in the 1930s - & in fact the USA already in 1968. Also I think ...we characterize Drumpf without cessation as Stooopid. & in many respects he is. But what he has done is be born into a Real Estate Fraud dynasty - & expand on the Fraud over decades & decades - learning from the Worst & most criminally corrupt Right Wing Lawyers & Consultants in all of Society.
	🎙 ♥ 10:45pm Ike: ↳ America is the robot suit @10:41 No society "collapses" or is "dismantled" within massive pain, suffering, and death. Just writing off America and saying it needs to be destroyed or dismantled is the overly simplistic campist/tankie answer for people too lazy or shortsighted to envision the long, slow path of reform.
	♥ 10:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:39 True enough. The left are ridged ideology specialists - this branch wants this, that branch wants something else, and will continue to argue about the details of what Socialism should look like. Meanwhile the house is on fire.
	🎙 ♥ 10:45pm Ike: *without, not within
	10:47pm I’m part of the problem: Who has solutions?
	10:47pm RainingChainsaws: I hear you, Jonathan! Are you familiar with "Kayfabe"? it's a wrestling thing where everyone goes along with claiming events that never happened. Trump seems the first to pull it from wrestling and apply it to politics. That's what makes the most sense to me. Angry people want to root for the villain.
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:43 Part of this I believe is that the Republican Party knows that its actual Policies are in the Popular Minority - & increasingly so. & everybody else know it too. So they have quite obviously - & increasingly - pursed everything else besides Democracy, honesty, transparency - & left actual Governing of the Nation completely in the dust in terms of their priorities. Nixon, Reagan, Gingrich~Rove were all steps along this way. It's actually not a sudden development @ all...
	10:49pm JakeGould: Left, right, tankie, hankie… Hey Jonathan! Enjoying the tunes!
	🎙 ♥ 10:49pm Scott_Oz: ↳ I’m part of the problem @10:47 If you need ask that, then not you obviously!
	10:50pm JakeGould: I wish Drumpf death. I mean it is a nasty thing to think, but he could keel over by November 2024.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:45 Also - the Democrats knowing they are the Majority ignore the house fire - ignore Populism, & any kind of political 'risk' - & appeal to a 'moderate' 'Middle' - which doesn't exist. Of course - the ultimate risk is never any risk @ all...
	10:52pm JakeGould: Jon Stewart. Joe Biden. Donnie Drumpf. Old farts all. Interesting year to come!
	10:53pm RainingChainsaws: Love that Syd Mead painting
	🎙 ♥ 10:56pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:48 I know mate. I've watched the car crash in slow motion for decades. But it is coming to a fatal impact Globally now. I predicted dump would be pres, I knew the World would not unite to fight our Planets impending Human led catastrophe. But would instead invent or reinvigorate reasons to fight over its burned remains.
	🎙 ♥ 10:57pm Scott_Oz: ↳ JakeGould @10:50 Today would be good for me!
	🎙 ♥ 11:03pm joe mulligan: free jazz was handed down to humans by aliens
	♥ 11:04pm Jherweg: I think you might be right !
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ike @10:45 If Marx was / is right - wouldn't the best thing be to learn from him & not have to fall into social conflict over & over to enact a better world ? Cause I think Lennon & (probly) the I Ching are right : The ends can't justify the means - because the means are the ends. We cannot, for instance, Kill for Peace. Another mere rebellion is not the revolution. & it won't be different next time. Yet - a house on fire is the right metaphor. Our house is indeed on fire...
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:06 - & as Marx made explicit - when does Change ever come from Above ?
	11:09pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 Giant Asteroid?
	♥ 11:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:51 I will just say this, then retire for the evening: If I was helplessly dog paddling in shark infested water, and Donald Trump offered to throw me a life line, I would say "Go fuck yourself, I would rather die than give you the opportunity to gloat at my expense!" Goodnight everybody.
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:09 That would be Change from Above ! - but, Cosmically. Not Socially. & in fact that's just it. We can no longer be Denialists of the Cosmic perspective. Our Planet is small. Our differences self-perpetuated...
	11:16pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:15 I was really disappointed when that didn't happen in 2012 like the mayans supposedly predicted
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: good evening people, i don'thave anything to add to the thread but an ambiguous anecdote, was in a leftist bookstore last night and see a book not about pol pot but by him, seeing it gave me ambiguous feelings thoughts
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:16 I don't think the Mayans said that @ all. Just one part of their Calendar ended ...& - another began. Of course - the Beginning & the End of the World are major Archetypes. Our minds & our stories feel a magnetic pull to those themes. Maybe even they are self-perpetuation that way !...
	11:20pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 was the title Holiday In Cambodia?
	♥ 11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Blissland @11:20 idk about pol pot's sense of humor
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 self-*perpetuating... Not (entirely, maybe) unlike Jonathan's observation that Drumpf's appeal to some people's instincts is a Negative one.
	11:22pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:20 I'm one of those walking dead people who won't die, at least since the end of 2008 if not earlier. But on another level, I feel the Earth won't begin to heal until human beings are extinct
	11:23pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:22 likely not well developed
	11:26pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:22 I know several people who support t***p and they are all racists and misogynists. And if not just plain stupid, then deep in denial
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:22 I think we've evolved with certain advantages - opposable thumbs to Use Things - & conceptual brains - with complex communications & complex interdependent societies. & it's all gotten us quite far. But all of those have associated problems ...& we're somewhere now we need other capacities if we're going to make it.
	♥ 11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: exchange students from other countries can't believe how behind in learning american students are and universities have basically become vocational schools. we've become stupid
	11:28pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:27 Honestly I'm not worried about us as much as the rest of the biosphere. We are the problem and have never been the solution
	11:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:26 People are right that situations are negative & dehumanizing. They're wrong about why & who's doing it to them - & who can or will improve it.
	11:30pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:29 Agreed. Maybe there is no one both willing and able to do the right thing.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:30 Well - I think it's also part of the propaganda to demoralize us & think we're alone. Many people have hearts & minds that aren't garbage. But they aren't the ones on TV the most.
	♥ 11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: taxing the rich and corporations like apple who used government funded research to make their products but give nothing back are a key to gradual change
	11:35pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:32 Oh I know. But I don't blame propaganda for why I am demoralized and feel alone. That's my actual situation. And I think almost every misanthrope wants to believe in people. And keeps trying to like an idiot
	🎙 ♥ 11:35pm Aitch: you're nothing, you're nothing, you're nobody, love liquid sky, smack loving aliens hit the goth clubs, what's not to like
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:33 More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. That I think is one of the largest & most important situations we're in.
	11:35pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:33 That would make a huge difference to revenue
	11:36pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 tax loopholes
	♥ 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Blissland @11:35 and it would change the national psyche
	11:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:35 Which is to say it's not just propaganda - they actually succeed in isolating us & preventing authentic Culture. Which is a good point.
	11:37pm Blissland: tax loopholes, electoral college, gerrymandering, and filibuster
	11:37pm Blissland: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 Yeah it would
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:37 In other words - we are not a Democracy. & they don't want us to be more of one.
	♥ 11:38pm Jherweg: We’ll all have to stick together if the worst possible scenario unfolds .
	11:38pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:36 Yes it has been amazingly successful. I simply don't know how to climb out of this hole anymore. Once there was a way
	11:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "I've Been Waiting For You (Digital Mash Up)" by "... Wait whut ?! Neil & Boowie !!
	11:39pm Blissland: ↳ Jherweg @11:38 Giant Asteroid or Fascism?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:38 ...oh. Digital.
	11:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw the Heathen Tour at Berkeley Community Theatre.
	11:39pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:35 I don't people even realize the exponential growth of the wealth gap; it's just kind of happening while we argue over everything else. whether you love or hate ~the government~, it is the only entity that stands a chance of doing something to address this..
	♥ 11:40pm Jherweg: It’s was a digital mash up someone did , Bowie covered the song on his 2002 album Heathen and someone cut it up with the original pretty cool .
	11:41pm Blissland: I think I heard billionaires doubled what they have since 2020 ... don't have figures in front of me though. I just know it's out of control
	♥ 11:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Blissland @11:39 Heat, bee/pollinator collapse, massive crop failures, tapped-out resources, famine, more war
	11:42pm Harry Corvair: Here for this Same Sky by Chelsea Bridge, Gospel (Leeanne)
	11:43pm Blissland: ↳ StringOFperils @11:42 Unfortunately that's all going to continue to happen very slowly and inexorably
	11:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:39 Yes. A lot of this is like the Frog in slowly Boiling Water. Heat it gradually enuff - the Frog sits in it & cooks. The rates of Productivity to Wages for example. People are working more & harder - & getting less for it... & everyone thinks it's Normal - somehow.
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @11:42 A House on Fire.
	♥ 11:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Blissland @11:43 Fascism's using it
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @11:44 Often think of the Fascists as like Arsonists who both start & call in the fire. Machiavelli wrote about how to make this work - & so did Hitler & Goebbels. Nothing new @ all.
	♥ 11:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 "american carnage" i believe the phrase was
	♥ 11:49pm StringOFperils: True,, the manipulation of crowds is nothing new at this point. I do find it surprising and new to discover what people will choose. Eagerly.
	11:49pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:43 indeed; we have nearly full employment, but working class people are doing 50-60 hours across 2-3 jobs at a relatively low wage just to pay higher & higher rent, as more & more property is owned by fewer & fewer people (it's amazing it took this long, really, for wealth to flow so fully into the buying up of property to lease). I theorize that capitalism has kind of reached a self-sustaining point, whereby people will be able to stay employed more-or-less as they are rn, always barely making it, but getting by just well enough in order to prevent some kind of revolt..
	11:49pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:47 No, but there has to be a ripe situation for them to succeed, such as the neo-liberals have created since 1981
	11:49pm thesecoronalives: not to sound too wacky or anything.. ; - D
	11:49pm Blissland: People have to feel properly disenfranchised
	11:50pm Blissland: Then on top of that, you have the dnc and the clintons squeezing out Bernie Sanders
	11:50pm thesecoronalives: our economy is generating more and more wealth all the time, thus the booming markets, but it is all flowing to so few places
	11:51pm Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:49 that's sort of a perfect dystopia
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think it's worth looking @ the history of this term 'Neo-Liberal' : en.wikipedia.org...
	11:53pm thesecoronalives: and (I know this is finally turning a corner but) we have for so long valorized these tech robber barons who did little more than create some algorithm or hack to repurpose whole sectors of the economy (taxis/uber, hotels/airbnb, etc.) so that all of the industries' profits flowed directly to them
	🎙 ♥ 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jonathan. What a year, huh? Oh, it's still January.
	♥ 11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: the firebugs by max frisch www.britannica.com...
	11:54pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:52 what I mean by neo-liberalism is to encompass the globalist and so-called trickle down economics that have all but destroyed the american middle class
	11:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @11:51 I do agree the Democratic Party has been one of those gradually boiling frog situations - & let go of the rope in the tug of war of the political spectrum for the Left. You can't stand on top a political 'Center' you helped to hollow out yourself...
	11:54pm thesecoronalives: with the employees of these industries being replaced by serf contractors, serving the patrons of the new companies
	11:55pm thesecoronalives: and we call this the 'sharing economy' : - D
	11:56pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:54 Yeah the national leadership has had a basically monolithic agenda since 1981
	♥ 11:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Out Of The Corner Of The Eye" by "Bill Orcutt Gui... this is majestic
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ the same time - I steadfastly show up & Vote the Lesser of Two Evils. Because Less Evil is what we all want & need.
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JH ~
	11:59pm thesecoronalives: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:58 same- ugh.. but I sure hope the lefties who are disillusioned (over palestine, etc.) still come around by november..
	11:59pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:58 I have to wait and see what happens between now and november. My vote will be strategic regardless of who it's for. I hope it doesn't have to be for biden though
	🎙 ♥ 12:00am Scott_Oz: Thanks JH, mighty show as always mate! Stay sane & safe people. 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	12:01am Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @11:59 it's palestine, it's afghanistan, and it's the ever increasing wealth disparity
	🎙 ♥ 12:01am Ike: ↳ Blissland @11:56 I have to disagree strongly on this. In some ways, yes, but in many other ways, it's just not true at all. One is super pro-labor, now more than ever. The other is fucking evil with respect to workers. One got rid of that fucking "pre-existing conditions" bullshit in health care -- remember that? The other fought that. Etc. Not enough progress, but something is better than nothing.
	12:02am thesecoronalives: sing it JH! it sucks but we gotta eat it one more time.. : - l
	12:03am Blissland: ↳ Ike @12:01 well yes, I was just too lazy to qualify it
	♥ 12:03am tom tom the pipers son: i actually didn't see much of what jonathon was referring to at least in the last 45 min
	12:04am Blissland: But, it was bill clinton who enacted nafta, consolidated communications media, and overturned glass-steagel leading directly to the market crash. So.
	12:05am duck: the main reason trump exists is that people are not being represented.
	12:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ☽Monday FMUvianz ! ~ Jonathan's completely correct here. VOTE.
	12:05am thesecoronalives: yeah but bill clinton just sucked and after 1996 literally just tried to get ahead of the republicans in whatever they were planning to do next (crime bill, end of welfare, etc.)
	12:06am thesecoronalives: usually the institutional left, though lame, is not quite that bad..
	12:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's no Clinton on this Ballot.
	12:06am Blissland: ↳ thesecoronalives @12:05 that's kind of my whole point
	12:07am thesecoronalives: also: in this new hyper-partisan era, I feel like the institutional left has actually begun to dig in a bit here and there, because their constituencies are calling for progressive policies so much more actively..
	12:07am Blissland: I'm gonna vote for whoever I decide to, and I won't presume to tell anybody else what to do.
	12:08am thesecoronalives: I don't feel like this is 1999, where there was more of an argument that we are veering toward a mono-party
	♥ 12:08am tom tom the pipers son: this is like stuff kendra would play anyway
	12:08am thesecoronalives: feels to me now more like two very distinct ideologies embodies by the two mainstream parties..
	12:09am thesecoronalives: *embodied
	♥ 12:09am StringOFperils: Thanks for all of it
	🎙 ♥ 12:11am Ike: Thanks, JH!
	12:46am mark: Liquid Sky was phenomenal and she/he was working out at my gym I believe she was from CT. At Close Range was a masterpiece of true horror and an accurate depiction of rural crime in the U.S. One of the best movies ever made.
