(5,527 posts)I just posted we need to do something totally shocking in order to get people's attention laser focused on what is happening. There's so much, and so much chaos, and so many people wondering if they're going to be thrown out of job or see their checks disappear, it HAS to be shocking to break through all that stuff. The Buddhists have a history of setting themselves on fire to draw attention. I believe the last person to do so that I can remember was someone in Greece, after austerity and banking changes hit their country over a decade or so ago. I may not be remembering that exactly, tho. And I certainly don't want to see anyone set themself on fire! But it does have to have shock value in order to shake people out of the shock and stupor. I just don't know what. And trump has now demeaned any action (as far as I'm concerned) by just labeling it TDS.
I do wonder about slipping something into the water supply that would change mental states for the better. A friend came up with the idea of substituting a med for trump instead of the ones he uses. And gods almighty, I HATE even thinking of myself talking like this!!! this really is not me. I'm a gentle person who is so thoroughly into the Earth and its critters. I move spiders outside instead of killing them when I find them in the house. THAT'S the kind of person I am. That trump can push me to this point, is telling. It's not derangement syndrome... it's PTSD... and way too many of us are suffering under it because of him!
