So, I don't care if we lose the peaceful part for a little bit if it gets people to come together and lay that shit down for good afterwards. And I mean a for real for good, not some 20 year peace bullshit, I mean forever.
But I will always be an optimist. I will always aim for the highest shot I see. I don't want to get into epistemology- I don't need any direct answer from anyone- but I want to call upon everyone to ask themselves:
How do you KNOW?
I'm generally distrustful of governments and those who currently hold the keys to the offices. There is a simple- legal BTW- system by which we can see that the rich buy influence, and it's known that there is corruption abound in our system.
But do you truly believe that absolutely everything "they" say is a lie? How do you know? Epistemologically, you can't really ever know that anything is true, or real. So, realistically, we have to use our collective perceptions, and our ability to communicate information to come to an agreement about what is true; what is real.
If you believe that absolutely anything that is the "official" story presented by any agent or officer of the federal government, then you're very clearly throwing out many empirically verifiable facts. So, if SOME things they say are in fact truths you accept as well, then how can you know for sure when they are lying?
There is a laziness to writing off everything that a person or group of people say, that is disturbing to say the least.
