Well, I was in Steve Shives Ask Away for about 25 minutes. And me being me with my views on voting in this system was.... what's to be expected. If my hope is to radicalize Liberals by my political agitation... I am terrible at doing that.
The Democrats wants to talk about "Rewarding Work not Wealth."……. Yea right. The Democrats are Capitalists. They all say. Wealth is stolen surplus labor value from the workers. If you truly want to reward work, embrace Socialism and Communism. Well, let's see what the Conservative Capitalist Party of the Democrats has to say about "Rewarding Work not Wealth."
So the Democrats has a section on "Ending Special Interest Giveaways."…… This is just political theater. They say they will. But they will still do things for their donors. Like not enforcing anti-trust laws in the tech sector. But let me react to this selection of the Democratic Party Platform.
Chapter 5 of the Democratic Party Platform
I am still reading the Democratic Party Platform. Have only read four chapters of it. So let me continue to read it today. Let's how much I can read it. It is a slog for me. I will switch to gaming when I get tired of reading. And a lot of my friends, Johanna, Phoenix, LQ, and NaztheNeko, needs money for various reasons. So I am also fundraising for my friends in need. Come and join me.

What is with this weather? Why is it so hot? Why is the weather always changing? Is politics involve in all this? We'll see. We are just join by my friend Nekonyaamicon to talk about Weather, Climate Change and if Politics are involve in all this.
My position on policies, as a concept.
I have been reading the Democratic Party Platform for 2024 on my YouTube and Twitch channels. (SomeRandomG33k on both if you haven't follow yet.) And something I need to remind my audience is that I hate the concept of "policies" in general. I hate the idea that only a small handful of us in society get to decide on how to run society. I rather it be done collectively. And I rather that positions of power over others don't exist at all as much as possible. And I don't believe that "Politicians will listen to us," as Liberals believe because there will become a point that the Democrats won't pass what we want because their donors don't want it. And Democrats will give the excuse of "unforeseen consequences" for not passing anything progressive. Or it is whoever is the latest Joe Manchin. Who ever is the most conservative member of their party. And the Dems never fight against their most conservative members too. Or have rarely done so in the last two decades.
But I also like what David Graeber said about policies in the last chapter of his book Bullsh*t Jobs: A theory.....
"Another reason I hesitate to make policy suggestions is that I am suspicious of the very idea of policy. Policy implies the existence of an elite group—government officials, typically—that gets to decide on something (“a policy”) that they then arrange to be imposed on everybody else. There’s a little mental trick we often play on ourselves when discussing such matters. We say, for instance, “What are we going to do about the problem of X?” as if “we” were society as a whole, somehow acting on ourselves, but, in fact, unless we happen to be part of that roughly 3 percent to 5 percent of the population whose views actually do affect policy makers, this is all a game of make-believe; we are identifying with our rulers when, in fact, we’re the ones being ruled. This is what happens when we watch a politician on television say “What shall we do about the less fortunate?” even though at least half of us would almost certainly fit that category ourselves. Myself, I find such games particularly pernicious because I’d prefer not to have policy elites around at all. I’m personally an anarchist, which means that, not only do I look forward to a day sometime in the future when governments, corporations, and the rest will be looked at as historical curiosities in the same way as we now look at the Spanish Inquisition or nomadic invasions, but I prefer solutions to immediate problems that do not give more power to governments or corporations, but rather, give people the means to manage their own affairs." And of course, here is the book. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-bullshit-jobs
So, this happened....
On Sunday, I was timed out in a discord server I am in for breaking the rules of "No discussion of Religion or Politics." I didn't politics at all like talk about my many many issues with Liberalism. No, it was because my discord and Twitch avatar was of an Anarcho-Syndicalist flag with the Anarchist symbol. And I have "Free Palestine" in my stream titles.
I understand how my friends views a discord server for having a rule of "No discussion of Religion or Politics," to be a yellow flag. I agree with that.
And I know streamers that prefer not to discuss Religion or Politics on their streams because "It can get contentious." And most streamers just want to stream a video game and not have arguments. "Good Vibes only" and that sort of thing.
I guess I am didn't and welcome the contentious of discussing politics. I ask, why does it get contentious when discussing politics? I am passionate about politics because I have one disabled friend that has to beg online in order to live for past 7 years since I known her. She probably begging online for money before she met me. And now the number of disabled friends that I have that on again off again been begging online in order to live is up to five or six. Been like that for the past two years, at least.
And I hate how being against genocide and being against the genocide against the Palestrina people is considered "political."
So, in order to not be timed out, I need to change my discord and Twitch avatar to something "apolitical." The USA flag is "apolitical" I bet. But having an avatar of the USA flag on fire I bet is "political." Besides, being apolitical is also a political position too. And I have to promise to not post "Free Palestine" in my stream titles. Oh well.
So I will change something. I will try to remember to remove "Free Palestine" from my stream titles. Especially on YouTube. Just for that discord server though.
And I have already changed my discord and Twitch avatar to a different flag. A Trans Non-binary flag. Because that shouldn't be political.
