I would like to lodge a formal complaint about all this “socialism” talk. The reality is that all our social programs have been dismantled beyond recognition. “Socialism” is the furthest from our problem. Our problems are all about sociopaths. Here in Utah, we have a sitting senator who openly celebrated the murder of a politician of the opposition party and is now calling for the release of convicted murderer Derek Chauvin.
A human, capable of compassion, would instead call for things like justice, food for the poor, and medicine for the sick, but we apparently have elected sociopaths who call for nothing but harm to others. “Owning” seems to be their only concern.
And what they really want is to literally own us.
These people call themselves religious. I am not especially religious myself but if this is what your church is about, count me out. I have read about Jesus. These people who run around claiming his name are the exact opposite of everything he preached.
Can we consider electing officials who believe in love? It might be worth a try. I don’t know what any of us are getting with these sociopaths. I’m not getting anything. Are you?
This is as good as I can possibly disagree.
