East Tennessee had for long had quarrels with the rest of the state. The culture and economic differences caused great strife between the regions. But it had railroads vital to connect VA with the rest of the south without going around the mountains.

But not inseminated ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Already ahead of you.

we dont need to worry about the climate anymore. We’d be lucky to survive the next decade.

I get it. Complacency allows the top to slowly chip away from the bottom. Im not saying to stand and take it. Make your voice heard.

But what im saying you cant expect not participating to improve your situation. You have to make small wins where you can. Without the support of large social movements, change will be slow and tedious and it may seem nothing changes for the better your entire life. But if you give up and stop putting up any resistance, you can be sure the top will topple the tower and you will have nothing left and will have to rebuild. And the chances of rebuilding to something grander is much more unlikely because you already surrender your only advantage.

Tell me which revolution that ended in a democractic socialist society and one that didnt involve millions of people suffering for years?

Look at the nordic countries. They didnt have revolution to acheive their socialism. It was democraticly elected. Is it perfect? Of course not, but its more than most countries have achieved.

No. Giving up voting is giving up a better future. The system is rigged. But the president is by designed limited in power. Change happens in the congress and local politics. The president merely holds the peices togather.

But congratulations, the short sightedness just handed the keys to the kingdom to a single man. The only check and balance trump has is the infighting within the Republican party and his own incompetence.

You think revolution is a great time? and chances of it fixing anything is very low. All it causes is turmoil and a power vacuum.

So as long the alternative is worse. Yes. You think an hot iron is uncomfortable? Try being thrown in pot of boiling oil. Thats the alternative.

I dont understand that sentiment… i mean yes, i agree the parties should absolutely do more and listen to their voters… but the fact of the matter you have to play the game because the alternative is worst. You think noone listens to you now? What makes you think letting the opposition win will do for you? It will only make your life worse.

Do you think the governments in 1930’s europe appeared out of thin air? No, they were elected until they held enoigh power to consume total power. Literally tens of millions of people suffered all over the world because people became complacent.

Dont ever give up hope vote for the lesser evil and push for more grass roots movements so the lesser evil will become the even lesser. If you dont, you may never have that freedom again.

You can stop now. Putin isnt paying overtime.

Tbf, you would have to hate yourself a lot to look at trump and say “eh… i dont agree with him and he’s likely to completely fuck the country and endanger millions of innocent lives… but look! The democrats are only saying that they arent trump. I better not do a damn thing and hope for the best!”

I guess democrats are just are idiotic and short visioned as republicans. Perhaps they are in fact the same.

They arent an officer though. They are basically an attorney that represents the government in a criminal case. They are the ones that decide rather or not to persue criminal charges to present to the court.

The solution is mandate standards to be adhere too and any contractors must have no patents so any manufacturer can be used.

Even the keyboard design itself can effect typing results. Like typing on a really good mechanical keyboard is more comfortable than a shitty chiclet keyboard.

Look at you owning a rooftop to put solar on.

A lot of americans are renters and that number is unfortunately growing.

In america? Litterally everywhere. Even driving down the highway would get trickle charging.

If your expecting to fully charge from the panels, youre gonna have a bad day. But every extra mile would overcome the cost over its lifetime.

You’re trying to start from the top because that looks like it’s have biggest impact but the actual change needs to start at the bottom

No… i said the top is convincing the bottom that they arent the problem and create divisions within the same classes; so the bottom fights amoung themselves. How is one to convince people they are fighting themselves and they need to focus their enegry at the real problem? Its difficult to have a rational conversation when when many stomp their feet refusing to belive the truth and rather prefer commiting crimes against humanity than addressing the real problems.

Bigots are created from fear and tribalism. The oligarches love useing those innate fears and stoke the fire shifting the blame from them to the “others”. They convince people they once day can be an “elite” too if they try hard enough, but its the “others” that holds them down.

How does one go about convincing people their problems start from the top? That people like trump is the very essence of their problem? Obviously dems only fight to maintain a status quo and i can understand why people dont turn to them. I can see how trump won in 2016. But after 4 years of a do nothing adminstration, things getting worse… and him quadruple down on his rethorics… how can anyone not see the obvious that he has nothing good to offer.
