No, again, both sides are not the same because that, 'regardless of reality.' is not the same for both. Democrats aren't aborting live babies. That is made up. Trump separated children from their families at the border and killed them. That is a fact.

The reason both sides are not the same is easy just follow the money. Who owns what and who do they support, both here and abroad?

I'm sorry but this false equivalence is BS. Conservatives are eating propaganda happily and there is definitely liberal propaganda. But nobody is making up the awful things conservatives are embracing in vast majorities worldwide. You don't need to make anything up to find awful things in the right, the way the right is making things up about liberals.

'speech' is just what modern king wannabes use to claim they are above anyone else, including a sovereign state's laws. People like Elon, Trump, Putin all want to be above any law or form of responsibility.

25 years of organized propaganda (fox news, talk radio, etc.). I live amongst Trump supporters, they truly believe prices will come down and they will make more money.

Unfortunately all of conservatism is basically about how accountability for your actions is bad. Even their literal accounts, they don't pay. So you ain't never seeing that ticket money lol.

I don't know exactly what to call it and I don't want to sound like my agenda is just anti-capitalism. For a brief, 250yr period, humanity (not all, but enough of) valued science and reasoned law as the highest, most advanced expressions of our civilization. The enlightenment age brought about modernity as we know it based on science and liberal law (no kings above the law). Now we've devolved back to every nation basically establishing new oligarchich aristocracies no law can touch (the historic normal), and it's definitely too late to correct course. No untouchable nobilities or kings will save this realm. So yeah, the great filter in my view is about letting elites be accountable to no one, with no interest other than accretion, rule things into the ground. And yeah that's the broad gist of my point about a pretty broad theory. Most think the great filter as an asteroid or nuke. For me it's runaway elitism that probably ends most civilizations which is why there's no one out there.

I believe a mix of runaway elitism + ecological devastation is the Great Filter. We're at our great filter and definitely will not overcome considering the galactic evidence.

So much for the middle class. Almost like it was dismantled to favor the rich and surprisingly, "american greatness" started suffering.

you mean the wars started by Trump allies once he had helped them? why are Putin and Netanyahu so close to Trump?

It's easier said than done: make the untouchables pay.

Grim reality is the untouchables will continue to rule with absolute greed while climate change drives us into pockets of extremism where we kill each other.

All this shit is literally straight out of the Putin playbook. Take control of the courts, take control of what is legal, take control of elections. Republicans were always too dumb and incompetent to be anything but pawns of a better organized evil.

The Christian Caliphate was birthed today, and Trump will be supreme Ayatollah
