even the democrats have completely abandoned environmentalists and public unions. community and environmental ethics will be sacrificed completely in exchange for more efficient methods of the production of poisonous junk. it isn't so much post-modern as it is a retro-utilitarian vision in which all faith is placed in technology, experts

- an efficient policy to maximize busyness (business) for the sake of business (busyness) - with the relief of suffering as an expected and welcome side-effect, but not the actual historical priority. as many of you alluded to, the speech was mostly an appeal to the economic situation of modernity. it is actually odd just how "old" that speech felt compared to the idyllic neo-liberalism which characterized his 2008 campaign.

i asked my democrat roommate if it was worth watching, like if he did anything exciting such as pledging to stop killing innocent brown people and americans, or if it was all populist posturing about jobs, education, energy, china, and iran; he smugly told me that well he got us out of iraq, is winding down afghanistan, and is going to cap tuition rates or universities lose funding.

so the latter i guess.

i remember when the goons raised a lot of money for battle armor back in like 2004 and i was like hmm this whole war thing... not sure if i support it? feel a bit like these thousands of deaths and huge costs... maybe not good?

anyway i posted like hey guys you know that you could save way more lives by giving to antipoverty organizations? like the chances that your expensive armor will actually save a life are pretty low compared to like doctors without borders giving a vaccine to a few hundred kids. yeah banned.

lol
