As someone who’s been recycling since the early 1980s, the whole thing is heartbreaking.

It’s really difficult on both an intellectual and an emotional level to absorb the fact that most of the information given to me about recycling has been false for the sum total of my 45 years on this planet.

As with our dentention centers on the US/Mexico border, we’ll only see select portions of this after they’ve “addressed the issues” innate to putting people in holding facilities.

I have long held a theory that so much of the superficial orthopraxy demanded by various activist movements is intentional and designed to disrupt or retard actual action.

How can we best get involved and support the cause?

With over a century of vocabulary and terminology around these kind of social issues, it does get confusing in a hurry. That’s why I try to stick to plain language and popular terms whenever possible.

Exactly. Everyone’s on the list, eventually.

Also called Millenarianism, it refers to the belief that a major change/end of an age/apocalypse is inbound.

A lot of folks felt this way when the year 1999 rolled around and the “new millennium” began. For some it only got worse after September 11th 2001.

That may in part be an intended consequence. A permanent underclass benefits all mainstream politics in the US.

American politics have become a death cult. Millennialism had a much deeper impact on this country than I recognized at the time.

If you insist.

The issue is that once the government has the infrastructure and networks to round folks up en masse, they can round groups of folk up en masse. That net will never be precise, so plenty of folks will get pulled in who shouldn’t. That net can also be directed where-ever the powers that be decide, which is a real threat to liberty and justice for all.

And that’s before we get to the part the ethics and issues behind our immigration policy in the US.

Truth

As a Mint user who just starting test-driving Arch: once you get through the installation the switch isn’t at all difficult. Now,t hat having been said, the installation can have some frustrating moments depending on how you go about it.

Ah, thank you!

“Good” is such a strong word. There’s a lot to take in here so any advice as to where to start would be appreciated!

Just figured out how to run it with root privileges, so the big thing is down. Thank you for responding!
