re: uspol - elections (selections) 

@thufie Quite honestly, it's the whole system of capitalism doing this, forcing us to work our entire lives away and keeping us worrying about making the next rent.

Studies have shown that people under constant stress have limited cognitive capabilities, because a lot of brain power had gone to worrying about survival.

The chronically busy are often kept unaware or dissuaded from any form of activism outside of the ones they can't avoid.

You can see where I am going with this. I am willing to play for small gains, but my eyes are firmly on the big prize, internationalism, disarmament, the death of interventionism and the ultranationalism that feeds into it, and the death of capitalism.
