Digitization should serve humanity, not monitor them.

      I’m not sure about Spain or the EU (US too, i’m talking abt my personal experience), though:

      Politicians are inherently corrupt. There is no good politician, no matter how they act in public. They say what the mass wants to hear, not what they need to.

        I do believe there are authentic, genuine politicans, but I’me I’m inclined to bellieve that politicians are worse than people believe. Politicians on the left are worse than people think, politicians on the right are worse than people think.

        I believe that you are American, the ones I do trust at face value for moral consistency is Thomas Massey, Mike Lee, Chip Roy, and Louie Gohmert. Don’t mistaken trust for full total agreement. It means their public statements is how they are alone in private.

          I’m not american :)

          But i live in a kingdom so we don’t even have politicians, but from what i’ve seen they’re very untrustworthy. I’m only speaking from personal experience so i’m probably wrong.

          Don’t mistaken trust for full total agreement

          I agree, but politicians should be viewed as just ways to change the status quo. I’ve seen too many people actually like politicians (as people, not policies).

          Believing a politician actually cares about you is like believing the stripper likes you, yet some people still fall for it.

          I’ve seen Massey’s positions and alot are good, but some are really suspicious; such as against making lynching a federal hate crime. What’s the reason for that? Seems to me that there are better choices for politicians.

          I’d say i generally agree with people like AOC, but i’m smart enough to know that she’s a politician, i only like her policies but i don’t care much for her herself.

            Mentioning lynching is emotional manipulation. Falsely claiming that lynching is not a federal crime, you’re saying that commiing homicide by hanging is not a federal crime, but commiting homicide by shooting is a federal crime.

              I agree that it should be a federal crime, but massey doesn’t. That’s my problem with politicians, they always have skeletons in their closets.

                    I guess I spelled it wring. I was talking abiut Massie, not Massey, about commenta on hanging people, or what you called lynching.

            Hey, come now… there’s no need to compare those parasites to strippers.

              A single stripper provides more of a service to humanity than 10 politicians. I apologize for the offensive comparison 🥺
