We say we live on a stolen land filled with institutionalized brutality but suppress anyone who takes action-how confused are we?

Even the bluest of places I see nothing but vile treatment of the homeless, prisoners, those of African American descent etc. Standing up to harassment gets you thrown out of social standing these days.

How confused are we? I think the people in power are so confused, the sons and daughters of monsters, they either are trying to be good but can't achieve any of it or think only they are allowed to do bad things and lecturing us and brutalizing us at the same time.

Well that was a focused proposition for debate. Now where to start?

I'm stumped.

Cheers and be well.

I can't make much sense of your commentary. It'd help if you clarify. It's a little odd to see someone 'conservative' nowadays concerned with oppressed groups. Blue areas have room for improvement, but tend to do more than red.

Good to hear, not quite clear on your commentary. We're on 'stolen lands' but nothing is going to change there.

Welcome to American politics.

Who says this. Provide some quotes please.

Suppress how? Can you name anyone who is being suppressed?

Examples? Since you see so much of it, you should be able to show examples no problem.

You seem very confused. I am confused at your post, and how it uses so many words to not actually make any concrete claims. Remember, "who, what, where, why, when". You need those details so people can know what the **** you are talking about.

Interesting question. How confused would you say that you are?

Would you say that you are more confused than those whose land was stolen and whose family was subjected to institutionalized brutality?

Regular Shit vs shit with whip cream on top.
 
We're a nation obsessed with the accumulation of wealth and power, so anything that threatens that status quo is immediately labeled as extreme.

I think that's not so much the issue as plutocracy versus broader prosperity.

"We" don't say that. "You" and some other more extreme fringe people might say it, though. Saying that we live on stolen land is based in ethno-nationalism.

Homelessness is a big problem that causes health issues in a society, safety concerns, cleanliness, ect. There are programs and shelters to keep/get people off the streets but they do not use them because they come with rules and such. They don't want to deal with that, but they cannot stay in public areas, for the reasons I just stated. We do need significant reform of our prison system, which I have ideas for, but there are some prisoners that are determined to act like animals and so that is how they get treated. If you ever have to deal with a prisoner that strips naked and smears feces all over themselves and you, while having all kinds of diseases, you'd get it.

I think your confusion is that you've been propagandized to believe things that are either untrue, or gives you a misconception of reality.
 
I was homeless in Chicago as a ****ing teen. The libs would call the police on me sleeping in parks when literally no one was there past 12am in the cold, ignore and walk past me outside of stores......they didn't give me shit! They're hardcore , rugged individualist capitalists(unless the aggrieved are white), and so am I. And that's why they don't vote for ya boy bernie. They want the ****in' money.
