"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss." Karl Brunnholzl Capitalism is, or is soon to become a dying economic practice (system). The reasons are certainly many, complex, and interconnected. But the primary reason is that capitalism, particularly in the USA, has become entirely focused on increased productivity to maximize profits and increase shareholder's stake, ie increase the wealth of individual shareholders. Which means in truth, as well as in straight talk, to insure that the real (and obscene) wealth is funneled to and concentrated in the top 1 or 2 percent of the nation. When self interest becomes the driving force behind every decision, and selfishness essentially becomes a "virtue" as it is with folks like Trump, then the footing on which a society stands on begins to crumble.

So it sounds like Hart must be a completely delusional conspiracy minded trumper. Not surprising.
LOL.

one of those times, unfortunately ,more rather than less numerous in the present
when the safeguards of liberty, religion and plain decency are ripped asunder by
by fear and passion and the evil of human nature whipped up by demagogues and
tyrants is given full sway." Morrison notes that anyone suggesting the nonsense,
irrational thinking and cruelty of the trials was immediately branded as another
witch. He compares the episode with Joe McCarthy: if you disagreed, or pointed out
his false claims, you were immediately branded as a communist. Now it appears we
are in another of those "unfortunate times" with the familiar demagogues, the appeal to
fear and hatred and the country in a catatonic state. We presume, as earlier, common
sense will finally out and another chapter added to the next History Of the
American People. We never learn-there is nothing new under the sun. The dog
barks and the caravan moves on.....
The more things change the more they stay the same. Or perhaps it is more accurate to state that everything is cyclical. We simply keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again ad infinitum.
Deletepeople are an odd breed.
Yet it is the witch Dotard who the "deep state" wants to burn.
