@LetzGetReal Yes, I meant reader

Yes, it's an urban legend proverb of perception. I'm simply explaining the conditions of my time spent within managing a perception so that my time may be best beneficial to its goals.

@William_Mary and your respect for everyone else's....??????

@AnneWimsey please point out my disrespect. I will surely attempt to atone to it.

@William_Mary ALL CAPS SCREAMING ABOUT YOUR (much more precious than mine) TIME BEING WASTED?????!!!!! Just sayin'...........

@AnneWimsey for fucks sake. It's called a headline.

Did I mention something about {If you feel the need to challenge or debate me, please give me the respect of having actually acquired the exposure of the information I provided to do so----yet?} Just like the last 2 areas I used the same generally universal known method.I guess I should have included just making shit up is silly.

!The exclamation marks are a sign of importance!

I think you found your calling. Now you can go around to every entity that uses bold lettering for a headline and quip about shouting. And go! Just quit it already.

@William_Mary it is not "a headline", internet protocol has always been that Caps are screaming...if you do not know this, you should stay off the 'net!

Don't praise him too much Mr Bear as it will go to his head and he'll get even more stroppy.

@rogerbenham nah, he does a good job in stony stupid ground.

Hi Deb!

USA centric? That's not entirely accurate. And while you claim the USA is becoming the world pariah, how often does your own country collaborate with our pariah government? And or practice the same agendas?
Accomplice much?

But we've been here before Roger, haven't we? In your own words, paraphrasing, that's your history of facts, not mine. As we went through a debate over Jimmy Carter in Afghanistan. Which I left at that being it's hard to debate someone that has the advantage of being able choose or deny facts and history to fulfill their developed perception. History towards your own countries mirrored opposite of ours. Reminds me of an article I read yesterday and many of Caitlin Johnstones. Where only the US is the bully on the block while their own countries heavily share in the spoils from the atrocities all have committed.

Part of the reason USA centric isn't entirely accurate. A good part of my time here is not just on the US, although most could be I guess. But also of the aligning of the entire westernized agenda. A term I use here repeatedly, westernized. It's all over a lot of the WSWS articles I post here and a large part of the SEP presidential platform. Working towards a better world for the world working class in opposition of westernized capitalism, unnecessary warring, ruling class agendas. A narrative I've not been by any means shy of displaying within my attempts to get people to understand the full reasons we here in the US struggle.

As a matter of fact, I occasionally wag my finger across the big pond at the oldest colonialist of all time, England. The Vatican along with them. These 2 entities have written the ground rules of what we all deal with today centuries ago. And quite frankly, I believe still control what we deal with today. The US is just another arm of this power structure, as Canada is, as the US is used as the worlds military power.

Problem much? Distraction. Everyone points their finger at the US while their own countries work behind the curtain with the US and these countries receive entitlements the American people today only dream of now. How fucking convenient. Their histories and actions of being us centuries before us are wiped clean all of a sudden?

If anyone here thinks this is USA centric here, you just made my case within the initial post here

@William_Mary [eand.co]

@rogerbenham yea, I started picking that apart according to William's world. Would you like me to PM you where I got to it before I couldn't take much more of it?

@William_Mary Not really. Presently my interest is in creating a 24'x12' firewood shed and then filling it with stacked cut birch logs. Followed by a further building project.

@rogerbenham fuck it. Here it is. As the article was posted yesterday. My public reply to it from the beginning was.

{Which kind of American Idiot is more dangerous, then? The malicious one, or the negligent one? The whose vote makes the crucial difference against working systems and institutions, over and over again — or the one whose doesn’t?}

While the article is interesting I have a love hate with this guy much like with Caitlin Johnstone. Who also started her political opinion commentary career on Medium before developing her own web site. She's come a long way with her career now being published on most of the sites I use since about 2016. I believe I posted an article or 2 of his work here in the group. The one linked in 3rd paragraph actually a couple of months ago. But he's way over the line in this one! I began picking it apart and have to admit it turns my stomach and enrages me. I'll come back to finish where I left off if anyone wishes to see it.

My question to these people though turns their own words against them, in his case above. Which political commentator is the most dangerous? Those that constantly direct their dissenting commentary at the US while ignoring their own countries same atrocities and actions, or those who are actually within the US or from the US. Those I use mostly attack the struggles of the working class and imperialism worldwide. This guy is based in London but from Pakistan. BTW Johnstone is from Australia. Each country with their own needed dissenting coverage that collaborates with the US/western agendas. Yet these people spend almost their entire time wagging their finger at us in the US. Malicious and negligent in my world.

I went on further with which I didn't post:

You might have noticed in his article we all seem to be lumped, as citizens, into one way or the other as a negative in our country and on the world society. He correctly points out how MSM outlets attack him while posting an article from, well, another MSM source Harvard Business Review. I find that questionable. Yet he never attempts to really deliver a positive message for our independent journalist and people like us who get it. We only get this---- Nothing works in America, those Americans left who are still thoughtful and reasonable people say, shaking their heads. That’s another way to say: America’s become a failed state.-----suggesting only we are a failed state while the very country he is in is presently failing also within the same
issues and measures because of this virus also. Perhaps he's just so secluded from society he's been missing the protest there for several months even before the virus hit. He should try spending more time observing The Canary's work. I wonder how he would feel if we were to call his fellow people idiots and lumped them all into one groups as such.

{My European and Canadian and Asian friends are baffled. Why are Americans so cruel? So heartless? So brutal with one another?}

I could go on and on with the apparent seemingly agenda of purposely erasing history of these other countries ties to a mirrored imagine to ours and collaboration. But the constant use of the phase referring to us as idiots is profoundly disrespectful and makes Caitlin Johnstone look like an angel. I have to wonder just who his targeted audience is here.

{But how did this kind of a society come to be? It’s not just the malicious kind of American Idiot who made it — it’s also the other kind: the well-meaning, good-hearted, self-respecting American Idiot.}

{The result, though, is that America is now a society in a league of its own in terms of being a gruesome dystopia. You won’t find school shootings in place like Nigeria or Pakistan. You won’t find people paying $250K for an operation or $50K for childbirth anywhere else. You won’t find people begging strangers online to pay the bills. And so forth. America has become a failed state in a class of it’s own, thanks to the American Idiot — the world’s first poor rich country, the world’s first rich country which failed to modernize, the world’s most powerful country, of broke, powerless people.}

O my god! Did I just type O my god? O my god. Nothing like picking a few aspects of one's society apart and ignoring a history of your own worthless warring with India, terrorist actions and collaborations in countless deaths, harboring Bin Ladin, your own poverty stricken sections of society who die due to healthcare needs, !organ theft! A very common crime in the middle east. [bbc.com]

That's where I left off because i wanted to spend some of my day with Mary on the bike. And quite frankly it's a prime example of exactly what I'm talking about that I need a break from as others don't seem to recognize the deliberate distraction being manufactured by these type of people using the US as the worlds sole problems.

@rogerbenham exactly. Thank you.

No you're not one of them. You always tend to acknowledge which you don't read. But you and I seem to have a mirrored view on our problems and up to date on about everything here. That helps a lot when you do the simple thing as just clicking on the button to represent your time here showing other members the material might be worthy of their time. !And along with your comments!

I figured as much. I went on a search for you a couple of weeks ago and seen you were posting in a non political group. I worry about you guys especially with this dam virus being around now.
