The one pointing out that any so obviously stereotypical character is likely the persona of an fbi agent, informant or paid disruptor.

Any category you place yourself in ends up restricting your own freedom to act and respond to the real world, and make friends. This entire chart is made to divide us so we ignore the oligarchs taking over the world.

Yes and no.

We can let it divide us (as most do sadly) - or - we can accept that different viewpoints exist, learn about them, make up our own minds, and be better informed about who we are, our views, and understand others better. Unfortunately most folks are too stupid to handle the latter.

I can see where I overstated, but I can see where you do too.

At some point I need a faction that says I support separation of church and state, human rights equally applied, law applied same to rich and poor, and for separation of power in government, but there are no active political factions who stand for these things. Only things like neoliberal and neoconservative that seem designed to avoid these topics entirely, while the opposite to my wishes are implemented. So I get frustrated with having a faction at all, and that is the over reaction.

"people are too stupid" is a cop out though, people are given awful choices by awful media, and the best ideas are hidden deep on the dark web under a pile of shills. That is a systemic problem being blamed on individuals, when it should be blamed on the shills and their backers, and rich people taking down sources of journalism they dont like, ie gawker.

For every dollar spent on education at the moment there are 10 spent on propaganda and promoting low culture, then you want to blame the victim, say you are above the fray, and that is exactly the attitude of a shill.

There is no point to saving these idiots so I might as well make money tricking them - shills everywhere

If you look around you will find a lot of people waking up and getting together, realizing it is silly for the "wing" groups to be at odds while we are steamrolled by oligarchs who are taking away our rights to speech, assembly, public government, and everything while we dispute the proper place of subculture in culture.

Separating church and state is great, though it weakens communities. Divide and conquer and all that.

I want separation of banks and state!

Equal human rights would be great. Personally I try to generally avoid "equal". I prefer fairness to all under the sun, who are not all equal, but deserve fair/equal human rights and a fair/equal justice system instead of the multilayered versions we have now: justice for the rich is very different than the middle class and for the poor, not to mention the military justice system, or corporate nonsense, or the B.I.S.

I agree that the rigged systems are far worse than the individuals supporting them. Take out the individuals and the systems remain. The systems must be obliterated. Oddly enough this coronavirus thing is doing just that - but instead of the masses it's the ruling class that is now erecting their new systems and new new world order.

I'm not sure I agree or understand "that is exactly the attitude of a shill."

i agree that half of everyone is stupider than average and the most of the rest are really close to average - and that's not great, yet I have compassion for the masses who are asses because I'm not above average at everything either, even if in some ways I am. We need compassion for our fellow human beings and without them we can't rise up against the ruling class and their rigged systems. And there's no chance of joining the ruling class for whatever trivial privileges they might get without selling out and becoming a shill.

"While we dispute the proper place of subculture in culture." Brilliant!

Agreed. The left and right are wings of the warhawk business party. The ruling class is the ONLY enemy of the people, and the trivial differences need to be put aside until their rigged systems are replaced with fair ones.
