"Energy dominance." Lol, over whom? We produce more energy than we need, and as the rest of the world moves to renewables, the US will still be sucking the dick of the oil barons.
More like "dominate my energy harder, oil daddies."

I can't even with this shit. I hate these assholes SO much.
Go do something about it then. Revolutions happen when people start organizing
Yes, but it’s becoming disheartening because every time we’ve tried to do something important it seems like liberals block us at every turn
It is disheartening. Its likely anything YOU do will end in failure for those reasons and any other of the many reasons. But only 1 person needs to have success. So the more people doing things to fix the problems means more opportunities for that one person to find or just be positioned correctly before they even start.
For the rest of the people doing things its a sacrifice of time and effort, ultimately.
The sacrifice is still worth pursuing, over the course of time it will have ripple effects, through that struggle you might even unexpectedly ignite a spark in someone that will carry the torch long after you are gone.
Its all abstract and doesnt feel good because of immediate concerns.
Why are all of us who arent part of that big club suffering? Because thats how the system has been corrupted to operate.
Education is more than just having letters behind your name. And its that basic education that has been torpedoed repeatedly so its that much harder and that much more effort to spend getting enough of us on the same issues to force real change.
It absolutely can happen, but we might be at the point where words, awareness, and acknowledgment of the problems isnt enough. Just talking about it to others that feel the same way already isnt going to solve anything
People need to take back the levers we were supposed to be used to keep the powers in line.
We have lost control when there is so much corruption like exists at the lofty heights. And again like has played out throughout the course of history its the robber barons of our modern global arena that are once again in control, not that they havent always had some influence where they are clearly not supposed to, but its obvious to me, and i think you, that they arent even trying to hide it anymore
Yep, agree with everything you said my guy.
Our land you fuckers
