You have a false impression of me.
I'm Mr Hyde on the PN site, and Dr. Jeckle when walking my dog doing netflix and chill.

I'm happy enough but the world is shite, and posting give me the oppo to let off steam.
Perhaps I have mis-judged. And yes the world is what it is, but is there another time-period you believe might have made for a more fulfilling life? I think we are pretty damn lucky to be where we are [despite all the bs going on]. We'll get through this sludge one way or another.
Yes, I think I still hold an optimism for the future. Decent people when quizzed know what needs to happen to make a better world.
So there is always a potential for things to get better.
I, too, am quite optimistic, but not for the same reason. Simply allow actual freedom to spread throughout the world and this will facilitate plenty of forward movement. No matter how intelligent [or noble] the "decent" people are, the best outcomes are derived from individuals deciding for themselves [families] where their best interests lie.

The System needs some serious deconstruction with a generous helping of transparency and as much localization as is possible. All of the globalists need to be sent packing for another century where they will no doubt try to pull off the same non-sense once again.

No, you have just written the menu for an ideocracy. If you just hand out freedom willy-nilly with not controls or plan all you will get is chaos, and the tragedy of the commons, massive exploitation with no feed back loop saying no since consequences are more likely to not befall the greedy.
What has press freedom made? Mind control algorithms, targeted advertising, dopamine controlled buying frenzy, waste, waste and more waste.
Freedom has enabled the "globalists" to take over from rational government and they have in turn focussed their controls towards the lobby room where they just have the freedom to buy politicians.

Freedom also means the freedom to have your own facts. To promote any idea however false.

Who says no controls? You have the minimum amount of regulation that accomplishes the task [like all things should be].

Where do you find a free press? Except for some of the internet, the press has been captured by the corporations/government like everything else.

Exactly, like it has always been. Allow the free market of ideas to choose which is best. But you cannot exclude any idea. All must compete. It is only when the system becomes rigged [corrupted] do you have really poor outcomes.

You have to have some faith in your fellow man. Wouldn't you rather trust your neighbor more than some paid-off bureaucrat?

Acts which become historical only occur because in the coarse of said actions the actions preceding them where forgotten. History is the result of a bad memory.

Forgetfulness and memory both share the same quality of repetition.

DUh, fucking duh.

It is exactly that . The free market is deciding that macdonalds is the best thing to eat. coke the best thing to drink and fake news is the best thing to read.
Freedom mean wealth and power filter to the top who then decide what to give the minions who freely chose to eat shit and die.

You don't get to choose for others what they do.

Instead of making juvenile comments, why not do the adult thing and point out what you are talking about.

Why not do the adult thing are read what I said first.
And stop making dumb comments like "Sorry, the Utopia your ordered is currently out of stock.", which has fuck all to do with what I said.
