  • Laissez-faire capitalism, mostly with a dash of oligarchy. You know, “American characteristics”. One masquerades as something it isn’t, the other embraces its shittiness. Strangely much like the two major parties in the American electrical system.

    But at the end of the day, they both serve moneyed interests. They both have class division, they both clearly embrace fiat currencies, and neither one is anywhere NEAR abolishing their respective states.

    China is about as Communist as the United States is united.













  • The first step in enacting change is actually WANTING it enough to make a plan to do it. I say this as an ex-heroin addict, ex-smoker, and someone who is just this year in my middle age, starting to exercise, eat right, and have lost 20 out of a needed 60 since just this past August.

    Change is hard. Especially when you become complacent. But imagine your best self. Stop making excuses and start thinking of ways to do the thing. I never had rehab. I never had any nicotine patches, or gum. I never had a personal trainer. I made a plan and held myself accountable.

    You at least recognize you need to change. You’re adult enough to figure out what you need to do to become your ideal. Now you have to plan how to get there and eliminate any obstacles. For me, I had to stop having junkie friends. I needed other hobbies to obsess over until the immediate physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms went away. It sucked. A LOT. I taught myself IT and Cybersecurity skills so I would transition my career away from healthcare, since that was not a good environment for me. But here I am, almost 14 years clean, no drugs, no smokes, I don’t smoke weed anymore either, I don’t even drink anything besides water.

    I read, practice my skills. I stay away from harmful addictions and focus that drive on things that will improve my life.

    I look at my life 20 years ago. Homeless, addict, unhealthy, abused by my closest family. Now I’m fairly well off, own a home, no debt, stable, clean, a family of my own. I know it’s cheesy to say “you can do anything if you put your mind to it”. I had every odd against me for the first half of my life. I got tired of commiting a slow suicide and I did what I had to do to fix it.
