1/ Our society is experiencing a whole systems breakdown that demands a whole systems response. We’re stuck in an endless round of whack-a-mole, an exhausting exercise constantly fighting off madness when what democracy should be is the collective pursuit of solutions & progress.

2/ A system where profit for a few is society’s bottom line is inherently at odds with democracy. The idea of trickle down economics has attached itself like a parasite to our democracy & continues to leech its life force. It’s not 1 thing that’s the problem; it’s the whole thing

3/ An awakening among people that societal change is even possible is always prerequisite to political evolution. In the words of Thomas Paine, “A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.” Something is wrong; we can make it right.

A wise man said it better than Payne.... "It's easy to confuse what is with what ought to be, when "what is" has worked out well for you so far." That is incredibly applicable to us / the US / upper class tier. Especially our elected officials.

Totally agree. The challenge is getting people with NPD and traits of psychopathy to be self aware of their destructive behavior. It's basically impossible. People with those traits only know self preservation and self indulgence and can rationalize it even when it's at the

Now this is one of your best tweets, but just a word of advice.. keep it simple as most people will fine you unrelated if you try to dazzle them with too much.
