I wish. I’ve been in a mental island of self-isolation forever.

All parties, vanguard or rearguard, are in my head, and lame at that.

I didn’t follow through with my resolution idea to become a Marxist in college. Big regret.

I accidentally misspelled it “revolutions” and I’ve just never had the energy to start revolutions.

I’d say they do matter in any context. But it depends whose point of view we take.

It matters if something happens with your conscious decision or just as a side effect. It’s a matter of moral agency.

It’s like that Michael Scott meme where his manager is shaking his hand.

Yes but no. Motives matter.

The media is paid to ignore it. And people are too numb to react. Everyone is desensitized to everything that would have enraged them had it been announced all of a sudden. It’s like that poison conditioning. Taking little amounts of poison each time, with apparently no effect. But it’s destroying us on the inside.

So like Russia and Assad?
