Reanimation, zombie blogging

I didn't like the collapse into one blog, so I'm back out to blogging in the proper subject blog.

I did write on Medium for a while till they asked me to pay to read articles. Blogging is free, I moved on. I blogged on what was literature and politics blog. Now I'm back to just politics on politics blog, I want to keep my literature blog pure.

Thought of the day: Are we any smarter now that we can just run back the clips that show politicians directly contradicting their latest statement? It makes people lose faith, which is fine for the side that wants smaller government. They're the ones who capitalize on apathy and cynicism. Disbelief in the system is where they want everyone. The endless sell job of democrats is to sell the idea that these institutions actually protect us. Like railroad regulation. The people who are directly harmed by deregulation is small, comparatively, to the population that vaguely is anti-government, disappointed, barely comprehending the political landscape. They're the lumpenproletariat, unable to comprehend their own interests. They basically take a longer time to come around to the usefulness of government. Like we haven't known that our course regarding guns isn't going to end in disaster, they have to see innocent people being killed every day? For years and years. Now they're getting on board, years later. It's like Nancy Reagan who is against everything until it touches her personally. No integrity, but at least they do change their minds.

Humans retroactively justify their instincts. Can we be a more rational than an instinctual government for all?

It's the split between honoring the trauma of "we got by with less," when looking at today's opulence, and saying people did this to us, we can't do it to others ever.
