Yes, we cottoned onto this many years ago, most #philanthropy is #fauxlanthropy.
A brilliant documentary on how #thePeople have been systematically transitioned from being an active '#citizen' to a docile '#consumer' is The Century Of The Self (#AdamCurtis/BBC, 2002).
It cover a suite of propaganda techniques used to #engineerConsent for all manner of abuse by large #corporations.

"Doing your own research" has become a bit of a punch line since COVID, and done incorrectly, it can (and did) lead to nonsense conclusions. And yet, it's not wrong for non-experts to want to attain a decent grasp of complex topics. This excellent video by @skdh goes over the steps for *really* do your own research, including advice on when it's really not going to be possible.
Why you should always lie to #election #pollsters;
Predictive #power has perverse, #antidemocratic consequences. So be a good #citizen and lie to #electionpollsters.

Something I didn't know.
As an #EU citizen once you are outside the EU and need diplomatic help you get help from any EU member embassy or consulate.
That's cool. Almost any decent sized city has a consulate of at least one eu country.

“…that yr, he joined…#Wisconsin Inst for #Law & Liberty, a #conservative firm based in Milwaukee, to file an amicus brief supporting the state legislature’s ban on residency reqs for most muni #jobs, reqs favored by the Dem-leaning city. “4 mos later, he worked w/John #Eastman, constitutional #lawyer affiliated w/ #RightWing Claremont Inst, on an amicus brief that cast birthright #citizenship, the constitutional guarantee that anyone born in the US is a #citizen, as a ‘vestige of feudal times.’

Okay, so now I'm thinking about Robert #Heinlein's ideas on how #voting / #politics / #democracy should be run, and I really want to see someone try to write a story about the deaf and blind person with no legs and one arms applying for service to get #citizenship. Like, give me the off the wall story about the scientists getting this guy to count the hairs on caterpillars for 4 years, give me the story of them being held up as a pinnacle example of a #citizen in the world of #StarshipTroopers.

The peaceful transition of power, a 200+ year tradition in the #unitedstates , was defiled like everything the Trump crime family touches.
Today's #trumpindictment begins to heal that festering wound to every #citizen of #Democracy

In separate but equally significant conversions about local #Ottawa politics this week on here, I have heard that
1) if one has to email their city council member to follow up on a service request that our system has failed, and
2) that I am a "fascist enabler" for not being willing to "scare the shit" out of the Mayor over transportation policy.

A quotation from King, Martin Luther:
«««««
It is a trite yet urgently true observation that if America is to remain a first-class nation, it cannot have second-class citizens.

A quotation from Bush, George W.:
«««««
#America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by #ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our #interests, and teach us what it means to be #citizens . Every child must be taught these principles. Every #citizen must uphold them; and every #immigrant, by embracing these ideals, makes our country more, not less, American.
