Boy oh boy.
What I’d like to say is that politics becomes cleaner and less manipulatable by big money. We stop believing nonsense like there only being two viable political positions. We stop being convinced there is more that differs between us than is similar. Politicians are only funded fairly by people, not corporations, and we feel more confident that our elections are the result of democratic values than the values of whoever can afford to buy a Senator.
In reality, I expect that any political victory brings new problems. It won’t go as far as I want or someone will figure out a new way around it. There will be some unforeseen hitch that cascades into a some new political crisis, as does every major political movement.
That tends to be another area where I differ from most Q people. I don’t see most battles as something that can be won. You beat one evil, one political opponent, one Cabal, and something else will always pop up. There has never been a hope of a total victory in that fight.
And frankly, I don’t think there is supposed to be. We are judged by our commitment to fighting for the right thing, not our ability to secure victory in that fight. As long as I keep trying to figure out what the right thing is and fighting for it, then I’m doing all I can do.
I don't think overturning CU would do everything I hope it would do, nor would any benefits last for the entirety of some million-year reign of the American empire. But it might make things better for right now, and until I see a better solution, I’ll fight for this one and deal with any resulting problems as they come up.
