@ReggieHere @ChrisMayLA6 Democracy can't afford to lose the consent of so many people, even when they are a clear minority. Democracy struggles to survive the levels of angry alienation which the lockdown era piled onto the social devastation of 40 years of vicious neoliberalism.
When people still can't get the basics of decent and affordable housing and food&energy prices are wild, it's near impossible to counter the hate-fuelled scapegoating. #EndRant

If you look at #reality—peek behind the curtain it uses to cover itself—it's like we're in one big casino; the decks are stacked, the games are rigged. Or like Tammany Hall, now we're in the new roaring-20s, only 100 later. And #everybodyKnows, goes the song, and that's how it goes.
Now if you're a gamer and you begin to see reality through the #gamer lense, you will mistake reality for "integral reality," where they, and game developers, both believe that—like code—anything is possible. And both #gamers and #developers have been caught cheating or manipulating fron the back end. So bamboozling generations of people, like watching a puppeteer's performance, BUY IN and accept the games universe. But it blurs the line between the reality we wish we had, and the reality that actually is. Our minds are gentle edifices—you can easily fuck yours up beyond all recognition. #truthandreality #endrant
"Irreconcilable Differences" Assuming the people were in their right minds when legally marrying (and that's, tbf, a big assumption), what differences cannot be reconciled? Short of something like brain damage or the loss of a child—with time, effort, compromise, and sacrifice—what is impossible to reconcile? And is "reconciliation" that precludes reformation from counting as progress towards reconciling something even achieveable? It makes it sound like #marriage is this impossible puzzle. As if marriage being difficult is somehow different than any worthwhile—everyone has a bumpy road.
So what's the point of bailing? The stats are against you for finding a lasting relationship after #divorce. What goes on in your mind? What insane laws are these? Why is the law involved in marriage in the first place? People who suck have not even close to an understanding how much they suck, it's like trying to fix stupid sometimes. #endrant
