  • Personally I know several people who have been to prison, and many of them absolutely needed some institutionalized treatment.

    Well, really they needed a strong community with support, mentors, and motivations to succeed, but in our broken society where community is all but dead, they needed prison.

    Prison is a broken hellhole system, but with total reform, it could be a positive tool for society.

    Maybe in a utopian society we could do away with prison, but there are a ton of changes we need to make before then.









  • They’re just voting for the only party who pretends to care about them.

    Democrats have spent almost no energy on making rural voters feel included.

    If you saw everything you’ve ever known decay into the shambles of globalization, then some orange guy comes and starts yelling about how he’s going to fight for your way of life, while the other guy is talking to the people who have been shaming you for decades, who do you think you’d vote for?

    If we want a better future, we’re going to have to get over all this hatred towards our neighbors. Waving your hands around a map and saying “fuck allll these (rural) people” isn’t going to work anymore, because China/Russia know exactly how to exploit that hate.
