i think that institutions should be respected.
It’s the number one problem in american politics right now, everything we are currently experiencing, is from people treating politics like a toy. Rather than an institution.
It’s so incredibly hard to state how critically important it is for the functioning of society, that the structures running our society, are respected.
Bro, your institutions are captured. Yes they run society still, but they run it against the people who are supposedly to be protected by them. This is why fascist takeovers start with the institutions and then the institutions keep running, giving formal “legitimacy” to the crimes of the fascists. Nazi Germany did everything legal in Nazi Germany. Opposing Nazi Germany was criminal in Nazi Germany and against the institutions of Nazi Germany. But it was the right fucking thing to do.
And the simplest solution to prevent this, is to simply not vote people who are a threat to your own country, into your own fucking government, nobody seems to understand this.
Literally all we had to do, was not ask for this. But unfortunately the entire US voting populous has the collective intelligence of a bag of rocks for some reason.
While you are explicitly correct, the implication is that institutions deserve respect by virtue of being institutions. Respect should be earned, or rather, given until proven unworthy. I refuse to respect an institution that fails to acknowledge the sanctity of life, much less fulfills the needs of the people it governs.
Yeah, the ATF for instance. Anyone knowledgeable about the ATF does not trust it, after Waco and Ruby Ridge
you can say this all you want, but this line of thinking is the exact reason why we’re where we are today. People like you check out, and start voting for memes, or shitpost value, rather than actually fixing issues, and putting the government in a more respectable position, which leads to people like Lauren Boebert, and MTG being actual real people in the US congress.
and likewise, that government will fail to respect your wishes for a functional government that does anything at all. It’s a tripping point, once you trip, you fall down the mountain, and it’s really, and i mean really hard to get back up.
there was a time that the government was highly respected. then the government betrayed us. Intuitions don’t betray their people, they edify. Once an institution betrays its people, it becomes a ruin in history. or should.
the government does not simply “betray us” we betrayed the government, by electing unqualified idiots to the electorate, who then fucked us over, unsurprisingly, because they’re stupid.
That’s. … a take
