I’m not claiming dents in the mainstream. Just that the opposition (the resistance?) is evolving and growing.

They’re 2 different things.

You wanta talk about the mainstream, that’s one topic.

The opposition? Including to the mainstream? Different story.

What a great thread.

Just sayin’

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

Ok, but that says it all to me. I mean, the Mainstream
controls the future.

I always consider the score-card to be measured by looking at the Senate:
Mainstream 99
Opposition 1 (Bernie)

WV,

can’t remember who it was, but years ago one of you guys posted an excellent video about how the Dems routinely coopt authentic, genuinely radical grassroots movements and basically kill them. It was really well done. A history of this process, etc.

Any inklings about its name?

Yes, true, and, but…the mainstream can be shifted leftward.

It won’t go all Finland on us, or at least I don’t think it will.

But it can blue shift some.

True, the mainstream could be shifted leftward.

If there’s time. If there’s anything left to shift.

Well, the Roman empire (with slavery and gladitorial games) was worse than this and so was the catholic middle ages, with its endless dynastic conflicts ruining the lives of everyday people. And, we got rid of those.

So you never know.

If Einstein weren’t optimistic, he could never have climbed Everest. Let alone swim the English channel.

Well, to all those warped and twisted forms of reflection I can answer only with a philosophical laugh – which means, to a certain extent, a silent one.
