I'm not really all that mysterious

Reminiscing

Realizing how happy I am these days, and also how my cares and worries have evolved, I can’t help but think back to the times when I was single and mired in desolation.

When you’re not ready for love, it doesn’t matter how obvious it is.

Realistically, it wasn’t necessarily love, or even lust, but potential, possibility. A spark.

But when your heart is closed, no manner of coaxing will bring you out of your shell. The fire will always sputter, flame out, fizzle, die.

Only time will tell. In some alternate timeline, I am still alone and resigned to my solitary fate.

Never say never.

Income Inequality

“Income inequality” is a neoliberal euphemism for “unjust distribution of wealth”.

Neomarxism is very much embedded in postcolonialism. The basic premise is that the vast majority of Western wealth was obtained unjustly—by imperialism, by colonialism—i.e., by forcible seizure of property and by enslavement.

Conservatives and neoliberals create a strawman when they discuss “redistribution of wealth.” They forget or refuse to acknowledge that what people generally mean is “just redistribution of wealth”.
