You fascists are going about it all the wrong way. If you believe there's a rising collectivism in the world your answer is to live a stalwart and high-quality individual life even if this means getting some exercise or picking up a science book.
I appreciate the irony of Brits and their commonwealth descendants coming on to say why Americans shouldn't have to salute the state. Talk about role reversal, it's 1776 done the other way around.
Let them talk about it if they want to and be totally fine with them not talking about it. It's not for you to say anything, just be there with open heart and ears.
I'm so bored and unchallenged by everyone around me that I'd surrender myself to the first man who gives me the run around. And there's a reasonable chance she'd lie and say she does have a boyfriend to test the resolve of men she encounters, less confident men and kind men will for differing reasons back off at this point and this shows that these are not the men capable of giving her the run around.
A smart and enthusiastic lover of simple pleasures. I want a deep and meaningless conversation between great minds, and then I want to play guess the Revels. I want a lovely day in York visiting old buildings and places of historic interest, and then I want to see what will fit in her mouth.
It's a case of innappropriate skills and unrealistic ambitions.
Anyway the cost of living is a problem for three main reasons: the few people wise enough to do the proper jobs are massively overpaid for doing them and nobody's now prepared to invest in retraining, there's a housing shortage, and wages and salaries are a failing mechanism to dsitribute wealth due to automation and globalisation(earning money doesn't make money, only having money makes money).
It's not laziness, it's desire it's a matter of people's expectations. In Britain and America we prematurely acted as tho the robots were doing all of the real work and we all thought that meant we could be journalists and fashion designers.
Where the advanced economy is maybe 30% spurious job we were behaving as though that figure was more like 50-60%. in 2007 we were behaving like it was 2027.
Some kind of Spanish is violent and red-blooded on the one hand, but fun and expressive with just about enough manners to pull it all off together. Charming thugs who dance brilliantly, that's what they are.
Most women I know would stop at some kind of Spanish in search of a violent and red-blooded man. In fact that's my answer based on my knowledge of women. The best lovers are some kind of Spanish.
I find conversation with real life Americans to be the most like virtual life conversation with anybody else. The sense of the 'other' is not really there.
The last American I met really did corner me at a party and talk about guns. Obviously this wasn't a romantic context but if you wanted the feeling of not really being listened to by a self-conscious man who waits for you to finish speaking before simply continuing to talk then find an American man.
The non-religious could be entranced by their own uniqueness and believe in a religion of one or a cult of self - that's non-religious in terms of disorganised religion and personal god you could argue that non-religious in this form is an outgrowth of protestantism.
Or it could be a polite way of not saying you're an atheist or agnostic. It depends if non-religious means you don't believe in organised religion or you don't believe there's a god.
Trump on twitter is rabble-rousing for spoilt bullying fast-food obese pin d*ck, FDR and his Fireside Chat was all about soothing a great and suffering people during a hard time. Totally different
The internet is a faceless swarm devoid of human contact, there's no empathy. Forums and comment sections select for the worst of humanity and if not this then at least the worst version of yourself, they're for over-sized teenagers and bullies the internet is for many people the chance to be a blinkered, shameless and remedial version of yourself. All of this lends to a new way of doing politics.
The idea that money in the hands of the rich trickles-down to everyone else is a quaint notion where Mr Burns employs the whole town in his nuclear power plant. And even then you have to make it so Mr Burns spends his money on the plant and not anything else. Low corporation tax works in the context of higher income tax.
And tax cuts for low and middle incomes earners are dangerous. This is just the kind of left-wing Keynesian stimulus of consumer demand we don't want even if it does lead to a sugar-high which makes Trump look good for a few years.
Young people should look at Trump's tax plan, that's how you completely break the bank within the next 15 years and jolly in the mean time.
Think like an engineer, not like an ideologue or priest. Turn your attention outwards - you're the predator, you are the hawk, you are the not inward-looking navel-gazers that came before you. You're not a capitalist or a socialist or a liberal you are somebody who looks at the way the world works and derives logical solutions to its problems. There is no universal religion or ideology which answers all of your problems, there is only what is context-appropriate
Ty to stock up on food and essential supplies, convert your garden into a vegetable patch and over and above all stand together. Do not think only of yourself - or at best your generation alone - and remember there will always be someone in a worse situation than you and this person you must help as a comrade in struggle.
Dont mourn for the life stolen from you - organise and defend the one that remains. Get even with Brexiteers and Trumpsters in the 2020s by replacing the pension system with food stamps. Use the money saved to pay off the $3-5 trillion extra debt created by Brexit and Trump.
