I remember when I used to have a lot of panic attacks, really bad ones. But recently, it's like I don't have those as much anymore. Instead of panic attacks, I just feel sick and disgusted at the cruelty and selfishness of some very self-absorbed, shallow, materialistic people. I suppose when I evolve more, I will not feel like their behavior is quite so sickening?

"political culture in the Gilded Age reflected a near obsession with reclaiming white male authority"
~ Joshua Zeitz
"The Gilded Age Is Back — And That Should Worry Conservatives"
There's also a dramatic TV show called "The Gilded Age" that's coming back.
"Then as now, growing income and wealth inequality opened a rift in American society, with a small group of elites amassing substantial power and influence. In the Gilded Age, industrial magnates like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie dominated public life, while today, tech CEOs like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos hold sway. Political corruption and patronage were rampant then, presaging concerns over corporate influence in politics now. Both periods witnessed intense political polarization and social upheaval, reflecting deep divisions within American society."

I suppose these things happen for a reason.
While some people have taught me that having extra stuff has done almost nothing to actually make them feel safer or more empathetic towards the rest of humanity, there's nothing that says that they can't change for the better before the end of this lifetime.
Will it get better in this lifetime or in the next one?
Values! People have them sometimes, don't they?
I think the people who decided to discriminate against others in this lifetime just because that's what made them feel temporarily safer or more secure or whatever have actually done themselves a real disservice.

As such, rape and sexual abuse are not taken seriously by many of our most important institutions.

'My kids eat a lotta eggs!' he said in Traverse City, Michigan. And in Monroeville, Pennsylvania: 'A lotta eggs in my family!' Although other elements of the speech changed here and there, eggs—and their rising price—were always front and center. 'The 7-year-old, he’s got his mama’s personality, very practical, worried about whether we have enough eggs,' Vance told a crowd in Charlotte, North Carolina. 'And right now all across our country, we’ve got a lot of families that are cutting back because of Kamala Harris’s war on affordability in this country.'”

"Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents," Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., posted on X, clearly rattled in the way liberals have been for nearly a decade under the onslaught of Trump's endless gaslighting.
"Russia’s the aggressor here, there’s no question about that," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters, while trying to pretend Trump didn't mean to say the vile thing he said. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also pitifully tried to inject some reality into the discourse without explicitly criticizing Trump, feebly insisting, "I blame [Russian President Vladimir] Putin above all others."
Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio is an especially sad sack. After being trotted out to brag about "the incredible opportunities that exist to partner with the Russians," he rushed to tell European allies that the U.S. is not switching from the white hats to black hats. They would be foolish to accept his reassurances.

I almost wonder if some Americans had a secret wish for humility that they could not consciously admit to?
"Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States"
That immature definition of manliness makes it look like he does not actually feel good at all, to me.
"Manliness seems to be all that Trump aspires to: and he defines it almost exclusively as cruelty. Both on the international stage and on the domestic one, Trump and the crowd of racist, misogynist and endlessly immature idiots who surround him will stop at nothing to prove what men they are – no matter how much America suffers, or how many people die, in the process. At the meeting, when Zelenskky tried to persuade Trump to feel differently about the prospect of Russian expansion, Trump cut him off. 'Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel,' he said. 'We’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong.' Maybe he does."

Advice from a farmer to a farmer

"'Haven’t Been Paying Attention’: Missouri Farmer..."
Isn't it time to stop aiding and abetting?
"Rubio sat across the table from his Russian counterpart, and if a picture was ever worth a thousand words, it was the look on Marco Rubio’s face as he sat silently staring at the Russian foreign minister, knowing that his own country had now morphed from a beacon of democracy into an evil regime. The same look could be viewed on Rubio’s face as he sat beside Trump at the first cabinet meeting of the new administration last Wednesday. While all the others at the table groveled, giggled, and applauded every asinine pronouncement of Putin’s puppet, Rubio sat there like a stone.
It is clear that Rubio not only knows exactly what is happening; he knows that he has aided and abetted it. I wonder how many times a day Rubio reflects on what his refugee father, now deceased, would have said. And here is what Rubio knows with absolute certainty: He is participating in the destruction of the democracy that welcomed his Latino family to its shores and gave them a chance to live in freedom, just one short generation ago. Now, he watches Latino migrants being shipped from the United States to a military prison in the country from which his family fled."

What industry are they in now?
"One of the most fascinating aspects of observing politics over the past 10 years has been the capitulation of formerly principled Republican legislators to the insanity of Donald John Trump.
Although Marco Rubio is hardly the only exemplar of cowardice in a political party that surrendered its own authority as a coequal branch of government to a deranged bully, he is as good an illustration of their spinelessness as any.
Marco Rubio is the child of Cuban refugees, so he knows exactly how dangerous a dictator—like Castro, say, or Xi, or Kim, or Putin—is to the health and welfare of the citizens living within an autocracy. This makes his transformation from champion of liberty to subservient invertebrate particularly stunning."
"Once upon a time, Rubio was an ardent anti-communist, meaning anti-Xi, anti-Putin, anti-Kim. He was also a proponent of PEPFAR, USAID, and other humanitarian programs, because he understood the value of global soft-power to the national interest of the United States, to say nothing of the fact that it is morally repugnant to withhold food, water, and medicine from starving children."

I feel like things could get better again.
Sometimes when I want to get more grounded and I think about people or places that have been super important or formative experiences for me, I kind of wonder why I have to be scattered in all these different places, like this part of me was really important in this place, and that part of me was really important in that place, and I just want to integrate everything.
I've met people who just stayed in one place their whole life more or less. And their entire family was from the same place, too, and I don't know what that's like. What would I be like if I had that kind of a life?
But I'm also glad I've lived in different places. There are so many micro-cultures I got to experience from being in different environments.
So, I hear they're going to be a little nicer to some small children again.
"Days after telling legal groups who help migrant children who arrive in America alone — some so young they are in diapers or their feet dangle from their chairs in court — that they must stop their work, the federal government Friday reversed itself.
The Trump administration told the groups that they can resume providing legal services to tens of thousands of unaccompanied children. The Acacia Center for Justice said that they received notice from the government of the reversal.
The notice came after the government on Tuesday suspended the program that provides legal representation to children who have arrived in the United States across the border with Mexico without parents or legal guardians. Several organizations that offer assistance to migrant children had criticized the measure and said at the time that the minors were at risk."

It's a good thing to have basic access to food, water and shelter.

Not everyone is sensitive about what others experience.
The people who get mean when they're not happy and act like bullies who are insensitive maybe got trained to act that way. Maybe they act that way because they think the best way to get through life's difficulties is is to "be tough." But they are probably also feeling afraid. Because there are so many other ways to be. And perhaps they don't want to know more about that. When they don't want to know things, it's because a part of them feels fragile, and they are afraid.

Patriarchal Society does it's damage.
Sometimes older people got trained to act like irresponsible bullies who seem to be no more trustworthy than an immature, morally dubious, drunken fraternity, and you just can't wait to leave their party and not hear anymore excuses for their choices.
Even experiencing significant trauma was better than repeating an old pattern.
Humans deserve to heal from painful experiences.
A lot of stress and trauma and grief can be felt as a result of the harmful effects of discrimination and there's times when that cannot be ignored for the convenience of others who are less sensitive to the harmful effects.
I guess if I have to just kind of more take time repair my own nervous system so I can feel better and begin a new way of life, than that's how it goes.
It's a very dull version of "success" that simply doesn't work for a lot of people.
Maintaining a so-called "comfortable" lifestyle that is quite easily shattered when the "comfortableness" relies on lots of discrimination and loads of self-absorption does not work for everyone, and there's also a fragility aspect to it, because even when things are going well, there's an undercurrent of fear. Surely people are capable of expecting better of themselves and of others.
Anyways, maybe tomorrow will be different.
Sometimes the colonizer dudes kind of remind me of some averagely self-absorbed middle class people. Bourgeoisie!
Really, there are cycles.
Some of you guys are going to reincarnate as the kinds of people you discriminated against in this life, and then you won't be able to be so stuck on the same aspects of war anymore. You will have to find different strategies.
