“There is nothing we could have done to prevent this,” noted American politician says.
Death by mass murder becomes the new ethical standard for the United States, says Gun Rights Advocates. “It’s the 11th commandment” someone said, “thou shalt not do anything to prevent gun violence because God loves guns and death. I Thank God for my guns…oh, and God doesn’t like abortions either.”

Putin is not going to stop.
If we stand back, worried as we are about out really good US life, we may end up losing it anyways. And at the cost of a continent. Our privilege is tested.
Granted, Ukraine has a little to see repercussions of it’s not joining the UN. And it’s own complacency and privilege.
However: Putin. Is. Insane. And for a good word: evil.
We should not be afraid of using a true name when it is appropriate.
NATO, US, Stop being a wimp and stand up to this billy !

Brazilian Politician is All-too Stupid: Just like most People

Are his comments an exception ?
I think not.
I think that we could goto anywhere and find that most men think exactly the same way, whether they say it out loud or not.
I’m not making an excuse – quite the contrary. However, I am pointing out the contingency of the public opinion by which this would be news worthy:
It is the general naïveté of political involvement and the overreach of morality into preferred ideals for governance – embodied contradiction – that shows the present state of states.
Again, I am merely pointing out an example that move to a point of a truth about reality.
How often do elected officials get “found out”?
Often. But maybe not enough.
But how much are we going to allow government to be involved with dictating and enforcing morality ?
One could say that there is an irony in that both Putin and this Brazilian politician are part of the same strain of representatives: toxic masculinity as an institution.
What really is happening here?
Mental health issues.
