@MrGoat Please leave me alone.

@MrGoat You are again wrong. This looks like all of the posts I have made for several years. Please stop now.

@MrGoat It is not. Your feedback was not helpful.

@MrGoat E.g.?

@Madken65 Basically, but at least Jim Jones did some nice things like integrate churches. I really cannot comprehend making your entire identity around this guy.

@Madken65 He cost them the House, Senate, presidency, and the MAGAdonian wing in general turned a possible 2022 Red Tide into a Crimson Drip. It is pretty incredible to see a major political party in a large democracy deliberately self-destruct in real time. Did you see that they just purged anyone competent from party leadership a few days ago? Mind-boggling.

@InvaderGzim As someone on the inside, please do make a ruckus about it. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻✊

@MisterE @YouTube If you have Sly & the Family Stone immediately followed by What’s Going On, you _have_ to have There’s a Riot Goin’ On, which I just found out a week ago was titled in response to Marvin Gaye’s masterpiece. Listening to the two, you can hear the huge divide between late ’60s (What’s Going On was recorded two years before release) optimistic progressive soul and early ’70s strung out deep funk. Incredible.
