In a country--founded via a mindset: Let's-Fight-Forever, via hook, crook and baldfaced-Lying--'politics' is the vey medium as carries the infection, infestation. The curse being ~ that this approach to say, Living a harmonious Life ... is perpetual-Strife, confounding intellect, knowledge gained over centuries--and assuring that we might as well perceive our Lot as ..a fly trapped in amber perpetually.

There are several lengthy illustrations within the GRR/LRPD Division, enumerating the n³ artifacts we live amidst, products-all: which derived from human Imagination, tempered /guided by the Truthiness Ideal and the Ethics of Science-itself--that 'algorithm' which ever aims at: Self-policing against the turds who inevitably infiltrate every worthy human enterprise--also too.

Shirley--shortest-form this flawed-one can manage: Especially within the Founded-on-Slavery clusterfuck that is the dis-USA all along: our perpetual best-Fight shall remain for the foreseeable: 'politics' as the inescapable Only-force with the theoretical-Chance of aiming our psyches --> enlightenment despite all those Odds.

tl;dr then: in the dis-US, POLITICS IS the only dull-tool the collective has access to, today: given that The Rich have taken title to most-all the Land, Structures and $$$ (those quaint ideas about what 'Wealth' might truly mean), in this land of the rampant Greed-heads whom we nurture with every peep at some 'Stock market' or imagined new pyramid-scam.

Pity that we live amidst the unCurious, unstable and untrustworthy. (No, not all of us ever get used to that, as any sort of 'normal') ..except for those sentenced to an Asylum--some of these for, simply expounding Truthiness amidst the Murican Dream-state of Greed: which nurtures this endless circle-jerk). Hell of a game, innit?
