      Koudos to you, kikivon! Excellent, truthful, accurate description in so few thoughtful words 😢. I'm not saying that sarcastically at all. It is sadly the reality that we've been handed. Chin up & always remember that we ALL are Americans first. We can accomplish anything together even with respectful disagreements, actually helping the process along.

In my time we took whatever we had, and school was warm, and there was food, a playground, and sometimes fun stuff. More than we got at home, growing up poor. And we learned respect. Or else.

      It's the main principle of hierarchy that the top takes from the bottom and that the top controls the bottom. The kings and "the club" rule over the slaves. We are in a system of hierarchy and not in a system of freedom, although the manipulated masses believe they are. Call them citizens or slaves, doesn't make a difference, it's same. Just another word.

      Most Definitely tbh I never cared about politics in any shape of form from both sides of the party.

      This video came to me at the most perfect time bringing such great relief...I've been criticized by my family for not ever voting especially this election. I've always felt in my heart it's not right like a huge scam. I'm happy to see my intuition may be right 👏👏

    Facts! I stopped voting in 2018. I used to be an election judge ( for 12 years). I also served in the carcasses. too. Carlin was ahead of his time. Pure genius.

    He’s talking about Blackrock & Vanguard. He was definitely ahead of his time and is speaking on what H.L Mencken has said about Education on the System not allowing kids to think critically.

    In an episode of South Park there is a line that sums up what political elections are all about: "You will always have to choose between a vaginal douche or a turd sandwich." VERY accurate!

    “Nobody seems to notice, Nobody seems to care” I got into comedy when I was a teenager. It saved my life. However these specials and particularly that line still haunts me to this day. All you can really do is take care of yourself and the people you love. So cheers! 🍻 till the wheels fall off my friends.

      I noticed and I care, the elites currently are flooding the internet with religious phrases using their influencer network, probably priming us for religious control.
      Looking like were heading for theocracy.

      The only reason why so many of us think in a defensive manner and fight amongst each other is because we're programmed to through the media and the BS that these psychopaths throw at us every day.
      Godspeed, my friend. Not all hope is gone. A lot of times these days you gotta dig deep, but it's there.
