No one genuinely asked me for concrete goals

This was my original response to you:

Buying time for what? What can we make the Dems deliver on that will take us out of this state where we’re constantly having to vote to avoid fascism and nothing else?

You expect me to read the whole book you wrote but you can't read past word 4 of my post?

Yes and I am not a democrat so I can only answer for what I think, and what I would do with such time. I have no concrete answers, I am but an aspirant of hope.

You buy time that is all you can do. Avoiding fascism is a constant ideal to be upheld. Why do you buy time? No one can force you to do it, but when you appreciate some of the things you have, and that is all you can do. You submit to it.

However, one cannot submit to this regime. The regime wants your will to be broken. It is not defeated through blind denouncing of one's innate responsibility.

I am personally just helping those I can because I have not much ability beyond that. You have a stronger capability, and that is why I do not want you to give up.

You JUST claimed that I didn't ask for concrete goals then I showed you that I explicitly asked for concrete goals and you ignore that.

do you have memory loss issues?

Those are my concrete goals, they are small and simple because that is the life I lead. I apologize if you looked for goals that would preserve your position in life without sacrifice.

I do forget. I spend hours usually on one response because I need it to mimic my mind truly. While affording me reflection that these thoughts lead to. I can tell you concrete goals and they won't be enough for you because you are illusioned by any possibility of freedom. While I believe we are born indebted, only to accrued more with each passing meal.

You take it as a basic right, but it can only be upheld through the means of many people. However, by dividing rather than at least accepting a halt - you are impeding the chance of reflection. A chance of meaningful change being done, because progress is slow while destruction is swift.

You are always one act away from throwing your life away, that is the ease of destruction.

However happiness is a construct maintained and worked for, not easily given. Suffering will persist, the hope is to divide it equally.

Now there's something I can get on board with comrade

Thank you for hearing me, I am lost in pain from death. What you wish will cause a lot of death, I wish it too. However I wish more that humans be ready. The change will have more pain, and when the dust settles it will continue and it will not be enough.

You can have a bigger impact in 4 slow years than you can in one grand day. In those years you might not see the progress being made because you are no longer the most pained. You are no longer the child for which humanity obsesses.

You wage war constantly, the severity has only now become apparent. As a child in this country, I hid from UPS for thinking them ICE. So much has waned and yet nothing has changed has it?

They realized it too and used religion as a guise, both for them and you. It gives you someone to blame for being happy, so they can hate you purely for being destructive. That's why I write, love them and they will become confused, self destructive and implode. Show them kindness, but never be disarmed. It cannot be fake, you have to see the absolute pain this animal induces upon itself, it's future, and their kids. For the sake of a grand today.

Rather than 4 long years.
