When people have limited choices to vote on, voting for a or b does not make them like a or b.

It just means it’s a “boiling the frog situation” when gradually changing the goalposts makes people not notice the real issues.

The average American really has not changed that much from the past generations, but the candidates that are allowed to run in either party have drifted rightward.

If I want to vote for green, and I can choose only on a greyscale, my interpretation of which shade of gray might be closest to green might be a personal choice, highly disputed.

Once one sees this pattern it’s very hard to unsee. Much like how web pages are rewritten for google search.

I think it’s important to understand, and learning this will help see through a lot of bs in other issues.

While it’s bad there are crimes being committed in Gaza, the coverup is a first rate teaching opportunity because there are so many public comparisons which are well documented. Many other issues that are given this treatment in mainstream media are harder to pin down, for people outside the loop on a particular issue

A frightening but unlikely happenstance to me and mine. A lot of people experience a lot of things.

When there is a population close to half a billion, it’s a thousand times more likely that a bad traffic accident will devastate

Perhaps this will be hard for an establishment party, in an environment that has suppressed all opposition parties for generations?

I doubt the normal laws and rules for security clearances will be applied.

For most people, except sub Saharan Africans, we are also talking about our ancestors when talking about neanderthals. Most of those bones we see on museums are probably the great x grandfathers of many people walking past.

Obviously we have no idea what happened over huge parts of deep human pasts, Neanderthals were a sparse population to begin with, and absorbing their people into the rest of humanity just by fucking is certainly a solution

Not so sure, except for a last few holdouts in Spain about 40k years ago, who were probably whipped out by natural catastrophe along with regular humans in that area.

I think we kept diluting their gene pool by having sex with them and out breeding them.

Neighborhood politics, social gatherings, community hotspots has massively declined in the last two generations,

It’s really hard to organize anything face to face?

Some people believe on quiet nights you can still hear the doomed trying to exit.
