    I appreciate the perspective but nothing here says we can’t be coscerbed by both positions (or all sides) of power.

    I don’t want kings or monopolies, or either by any other name. No need to split hairs on it.

    I would also argue that “we hand powers over to modern capitalist institutions without a second thought” is a pretty loaded sentence. Who’s doing that? Me? You? It’s not like someone asked us. Sounds pretty dismissive to assume people are acting outside of their better interest.


  • See we use something called “context” to make sense of the things being explained as sometimes words can be interpreted differently or literally.

    In this case, the “context” of the ruling surrounds actions that Donald Trump took while president. It’s because of this “context” that he is, in fact, the one in the illustration.

    It wouldn’t really make sense for Biden to be here in the “context” of the article, but I’m sure that it wouldn’t literally be incorrect.

    Does that help?
