Reagonites will have to reorient their politics

The Overton Window has shifted. The UK may lament the demise of Corbyn's campaign, but the end result of that election saw the so-called Centrists fall out of power in Labour.

The same is happening in the USA. What these so-called Centrists have for so long disguised has been revealed to be meaningless. Mere Triangulation to carry-on with Reagonite-style politics of the dismantling of government, and hence democracy.

However, their hollowing out of government also saw them hollowing out their mechanisms for interacting with people outside their comfort zone. These people, these elites, and their sycophants, they lost complete touch with a great majority of people.

The Occupy Movement was not a one-off movement. It was a bellwether, a harbinger. And as this movement grows—and it'll grow exponentially from now one—people who do not adjust are going to be run down. The momentum of this movement has been building for 40 years. Like a flood. It'll carry off everyone, even those opposed.

It'll be a cleansing of Reagonism. Tearing it from its base, which before this moment, during the first four years of the Trump adminstration, had been dwindling, and attempting Triangulating into a complete hostile takeover of the Democratic Party leadership. Bush II and  the Clinton era establishment officials attempting to remake the Democratic Party into the lone party of the elite, considering how control of the Republicans had been relinquished to groups that are not fully under the control of the wealthy.

The human 'superpredator' is unique -- and unsustainable, study says

Los Angeles Times I can't imagine the world in ten years time. Twenty years. It'll be different. As different as the world was even in my own childhood. As different as the world was from my parents' childhoods. My elders speak of our role on this Earth as caretakers. However, we've abandoned this role in favor of materialistic pursuits. Of finite beliefs that will quickly degrade into ash when stressed, as heated glass touching cold water. All cultures historically warn us away from over-indulgence, and yet our own modern society celebrates this behavior as exemplary. This self-interest is our fatal flaw. We take what we want, and we give nothing. This cannot last. There are limits on this Earth we cannot comprehend in full. It is simply too vast. However, what little we do know should terrify us into acting more responsibly, even if only marginally. However we do not even do that. Our leaders urge us on to continue on as we have done. This cannot last. Eventuall...

Highway of Tears gets $3M for transportation safety plan

CBC News Realistically, there's only so much can be done The long term goal should be to be helping these remote communities become more and more self-sufficient so there's less need for a community member to have to travel to and fro their home to a neighbouring town for particular needs, or to strengthen the presence of civilization along side those roads and highways. However, three million dollars? Honestly, it seems quite a bit low. This is over 700 kms, altogether, with many communities, in-between. And the winter conditions alone are harsh and demanding. Three million dollars will be used up, very quickly. The most helpful part of this would probably be the $1.6 million allocated toward BC Transit. An extra bus per community with an extra diver should help, although it's a question if the funding will stretch to cover all the communities, in-between. Considering this is the provincial government, they can only do so much, and only indirectly. Now it's up to ...

Justin Trudeau A 'Stunning Hypocrite,' Top Environmentalist Says

The Huffington Post Canada Some pretty harsh words. And accurate, too. What is the point of more pipelines? Their effect on the Canadian economy seems negligible, at best. At worst, they're sinkholes, employing some, but draining time, money, and manpower from other industries that'd be of more benefit to the Canadian economy as a whole. At some point, the Canadian government's simply going to have to give up on the tar sands. They're a money pit. Canada's days as an oil-producing nation are long over. There's more money being spent on the tar sands then Canada's recouping, now. And the days when barrels of oil were selling at or over $100 per barrel are never coming back.
