If anyone has read my posts about the rock squirrels eating everything that has moisture, they have not chomped on the Baby Rita's yet. There have been a few bites out of them, but that's it. The Baby Rita's replaced numerous other plants destroyed by rock squirrels.

#USPolitics June 2, 1924: Congress enacts the Indian Citizenship Act. Only 100 years ago. Just a reminder that the constitutional definition of 'people' to include all humans is a very recent event, less than 160 years. It's not that long ago. My grandmother (RIP) was born in 1898. The current conservative backsliding on who gets to be 'people' under the constitution needs to be stopped. Don't vote conservative. Reform the Supreme Court. #democracy

There are plenty of politicians and CEOs in the world whose pronouncements could be replaced by AI and no one would know the difference. Gibberish sounds the same no matter what the source.

@timo21 Honestly the hard part would be getting an AI to actually sound senile/moronic enough to emulate Biden or Trump. Its almost an art form with them.

When considering the billionaire cabal that is behind much of the world's stresses right now, consider how many different countries the billionaires are from. Every instance of violent disturbance, harmful neglect, and disrupted civilization can be attributed to various members of the international multi-ethnic billionaire club.

Cutting government programs while changing tax law to give a relatively few people a tremendous amount of money has caused the wealthy to think they own society. Big recent examples are donors to universities thinking they own the place, but check out this example of ghost funding for police departments.

We have (had) climbing roses that have been stripped bare by rock squirrels looking for water. Is there a climbing plant that is squirrel resistant? We replaced the annual flowering plants with catmint or baby rita, which the rock squirrels don't bother at all.

Here is Robert Reich's description of how far right 'centrists' have gone. So when billionaires want and to be in the 'center', it really is far right. is far right. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/biggest-change

@freemo Thanks for the chart. I think you are way overestimating the number on alt left. The green party failed to get inroads to local politics, there is no immediate successor to Bernie, they are a mess. The Democratic Socialists of America are just getting started, so maybe in the future they would be large. But the alt right is extremely well funded, so that attracts power seekers in large numbers. The alt-right should be much larger on your chart, IMO. But overall, it's a good chart.

Thanks for the chart. I think you are way overestimating the number on alt left.

The funny thing is, anytime i show this chart or describe it to people those on the right think I am way overestimating the alt-right, those on the left think im way overestimating the alt-left. Meanwhile centrists tend to more or less agree with the distribution.

The only difference I often encounter among centrists is if they think the alt-left is slightly more pronounced or the alt-right. I think the alt-left is marginally larger than the alt-right, some think the inverse.

I would say this effect is largely due to the left seeing the alt-left as just left and dont recognize their violence or extreme nature since their views are in line with their own more closely. It is common that members of a group are more forgiving with their extreme members than people of the opposing group.

The green party failed to get inroads to local politics, there is no immediate successor to Bernie, they are a mess.

Yes sadly the lack of third-party support this election. Though Bernie disappearing is a good thing, as I would place him firmly in the alt-left in terms of extremism of views. As someone who spends more time in Europe than america even most Europeans, who lean left, think Bernie is a joke in my experience. Not sure what the right in Europe think as I dont have anyone on the right im super close with I can think of.

But the alt right is extremely well funded, so that attracts power seekers in large numbers.

They are all multimillionaires on both sides, so they are all way too well funded. But I do agree the right tends to have more money to work with than the left on average.

The alt-right should be much larger on your chart, IMO. But overall, it’s a good chart.

I would actually agree that both the alt-right and alt-left here should be about x2 the height i drew them. Relative to each other I find it accurate, though relative to the middle its not proportional.
