On revolutionary hope:
My hope is for no more CIA assassinations of African leaders. No more Indonesian slaves on fishing boats. No more genocide of Palestinians. No more CIA-ran Columbian drug rings. No more Epstein islands.
All of that is achievable by wrecking the US from the inside.

Cyanocobalamin's significance in the human body cannot be overstated. A groundbreaking study published in the "Journal of Clinical Pharmacology" in 2012 illuminated the profound impact that Vitamin B12 has on individuals suffering from fatigue. The research revealed that supplementation with cyanocobalamin notably enhances energy levels, thereby combating tiredness and lethargy. This is because Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in converting food into glucose, which acts as fuel for the body.

I've been reading Ray Dailo's "Principles for dealing with the changing world order" in which he charts the rise and fall of empires and kingdoms and dynasties.
The main cycle, he reckons is:
1) Winner of a war consolidates power, unites the population (often through oppression)
2) A smart cooperative equitable educated society with meritocracy means good societal progress and wide sharing of the wealth.
3) Long period of peace, building good tech and military and financial systems.
4) Leadership corrupts: Excessive debt, money-printing, inequality, financial ruin, no sense of solidarity, then a natural disaster pushes it over the edge
5) The fall: Escalating rebellions, very bad inequality, internal conflicts
6) Civil war, revolution, eventually a strong leader proves the winner and back to 1.
We in the western civilization are very clearly in the late states of this kind of cycle, and it's frankly terrifying with the weapons we have these days when it comes to a war.
The leadership is too corrupt to try and fix the inequality or invest in that well educated, equitable, cooperative society.
He explicitly agrees with Marx and implicitly with me a lot more than I'd have expected from the rabid capitalist that Ray Dailo is.
It's interesting to hear his emphasis on inequality and how a prosperous society depends upon sharing the gains of prosperity widely. You tend to hear hyper-capitalists mostly emphasizing that capital's gains should go to capital, and Ray is certainly suggesting the opposite here. That if that happens, it corrupts the leadership and ends with cronyism and debt and revolution.
We seem to basically agree what creates good prosperous peaceful civil society, and that capitalism in the Anglican world isn't doing it, and that fucked up corrupt government is why we aren't doing it.
We'd offer fairly different prescriptions though I think.

Pennsylvania’s energy industry has long created good-paying jobs and ensured consumers have reliable, affordable power.
