I'm reading Nonduality by David Loy. Not an easy read synthesizing eastern and western thought throughout history. But I'm on the chapter of nondual action and I've been thinking about what is going on in the USA politically. My experience is that Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green and the rest of this kind of dada power grab cohort, Moscow Mitch, have really put the liberal imagination under attack. Government isn't about doing the most good to the most people. It's about what you can block and what you can take. It's about proving that government doesn't work because they don't make it work. It's about disruption. Maybe that's an open possibility for the time being. I'm quoting The Dude when I say that my thinking has been really uptight.
And we can torch the earth, unwilling to take responsibility for it. There's a great line in Battlestar Galactica, the cylons keep asking, why the humans never ask why they think they deserve to live on, not become extinct.
Added bonus, here's a map of countries that recognize Palestine in green
