A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Avatar This Is The Modern World with Trouble Hellraiser 2024 9:15am
YETI BOB:

morphe': It seems cyclic to me - "renewed emphasis on Liberation etc" could apply to the 60s/70s. There was a lot of optimism & hope for change. Then came the 80s and along with tacky fashions and some terrible synth-pop we got the Reagan Revolution, Newt Gingrigch, etc - a massive conservative backlash. Progress is never linear.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

YetiB et al : I keep coming back to the fact that the Republican Party & RightWing have known for decades (@ least) that their policies put them increasing in the Minority (with changing demographics &tc.) - & that therefore transparent honest democracy will not serve them. So - they have acted accordingly - thru Nixon, Reagan, the 'Republican Revolution' w/ Gingrich & Karl Rove - the Tea Party & finally DonaldDrumpf. The Democratic Party in response rather than try & hold the true Left in the tug of war thot it best to compromise toward a 'Center' - but what is a 'Center' when the entire political spectrum slides completely off the rails to the far Right ??
This, & the challenge for the Left is different in as much as being 'Liberal' by definition means tolerating wider views - & it's harder to unite us despite the clear & growing Majority the Democratic Party represents. The Democratic Party is slow to adjust the Populist revolution - whereas the Republican Party being in the Minority shot the dice w/ Drumpf...
Optimism & Pessimism I reckon have to be measured to on one hand my expectations of what is likely, based on the System - & on otoh to what is really required to Progress based on conditions... For the Former - Biden seems to be doing well for Domestic policies & frighten us in Foreign policy (has been observed Biden is Centrist - *within* the range represented by the Democratic Party...) - for the Latter, I feel we are (for instance) out of time for beginning efforts towards Sustainability - & for Democracy in the USA (for instance), we are *right now* @ the exact knife edge of - all of the above...

Trouble, you could do a weekly bird segment on Wake and Bake! ("Talk Is Cheep"? "The Trouble with Birds"? "Modern Dinosaur World"?) Maybe in collaboration with Julie, even!

Obviously, I expect a 10 percent finder's fee on the massive profits this idea will generate.

Ooh - I'll check out Kill "em and Leave. I love Trouble's book recommendations. Last week I read Qualification by David Heatly who was a guest on Trouble. I have to admit that I hated David other book 'My Brain Is Upset Down'. I think that reading that book first helped me enjoy and get more out of Qualification. I knew what I was in for and was able to handle David's extreme narcissism and the shitty ways her treats his wife and kids.
