Recently I am more and more angry with Presidents acting like dictators, billionaires who wreck the planet in front of our eyes and another two books full..I've been told to "'not worry about things you cannot control" over and overBut I cannot make peace with that, and my reply is: "No, I keep worrying and fighting until I am in a way of control so I can do something about it"The feeling of "no control" is what they want so they can get away with everything

@stux lil buddy...when I was in school...I was called "uncoachable". I frequently made horrid jokes about my P.E teacher and pleasing his wife...right to his face...for wanting me to "be a team player". And I got away with it. You know why? Because you can't control me. I control myself. That's why I'm "uncoachable". Being uncontrollable is a power to itself. Make them give you your own PE class for the credit. Be uncoachable!!

@stux there are two kinds of people in the world.The ones who throw up their hands and say “what can I do?”and the ones who roll up their sleeves and ask “what can I do”.

@stux They want many things to feel "inevitable".For example, AI.

@stux I'd say as long as you're turning your anger into action you're fine. Just don't keep it inside and let it eat you up.

@stux "Don't worry about things you cannot control" always made me so angry. How is it even remotely comforting? This is my life, of course I will be worried if I have no control over it.

@stux None of us is as powerful as all of us.They just want to keep us divided.Just look what Solidarity accomplished in Poland, that reverberated throughout eastern Europe:https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/polands-solidarity-movement-1980-1989/

@stux Yeah, "don't worry about things you can't control" should really be "don't spend your energy worrying about things that are BEYOND control," like supernovas or blackholes, not "when the going gets tough, abandon ship".

@stux yep, also a lot of the issues are related to choices people have been making repeatedly for years, and people don't want to admit it.

@stux Boy you describe how I’m feeling as well. And I’m old enough to have gone through the 60’s and protests. It proved that people can make change. 🇺🇸

@stux right...just worry when trouble comes to your door & by then it's too late...my husband says the same thing & I know it's just him feeling like he has no control but I doggedly continue on & he's coming around...my part in getting someone's head out of the sand

@stux Paper does not survive being buried for long. No one can way with any certainty that they lacked a highly advanced administrative system. Perhaps they had billionaires too. Perhaps one of them was hell-bent on an apocalypse and started a rocket company and struck a near Earth asteroid, knocking it off course. Eventually that caused it to be pulled deeper into Earth's gravity well, striking the Earth, thus fulfilling their desire for the end of their epoch.

@stux presidents and politicians work for us, but have managed to make sure we forget that. Their power and the money they spend comes from us. They need to be reminded they serve at our pleasure, not think they are some sort of elite

@stux We don’t have “no control”, we (myself included) lack a willingness to accept the steep consequences of personally fighting.

@stux I’m with you there!Democracy was supposed to be about everyone having a bit of control.If you don’t have even that that little bit of control, however small, then it’s not really a democracy is it?

@stux 💯 agree with you. Seems that they liked the role of dictator, cause it's so easy to manipulate with your army from the basement, as if you're playing generals in real life. Disgusting.

@stux "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept." — Angela DavisI'm confident you'll find ways to tackle the things you can't accept. More of us need to ask ourselves what is and isn't acceptable, and then fight against the unacceptable.

@stux We, the plebs, are the ones in power we just have to convince each other of it. Let's follow the example of the Black Panther Party and make the government irrelivant. Let's feed each other, home and clothe each other, protect each other, defend each other. The most important thing we can do right now is be a pain in the ass. Be the sand that binds the gears, the barely missed deadline or like @praetor the fucker of the P.E. teachers wife.

@stux “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” is not a proverb or social norm. It’s just some bullshit made up by shitty people that had accumulated power that they wanted to keep in the family forever.#Resist. #DoNotComply and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists in #USpol.

@stux There's a difference between caring and worrying. Worrying is more obsessive. It's also not that productive because you're worrying instead of acting.There also is a difference between what you can and cannot change. Worrying about things you can't change blinds you to the things you can. Take god out of it, and the serenity prayer is actually profound even if simple.You do have to quite that little demon that says you are not worthy or have no control though.
