“Lastly, the cost competitiveness of nuclear power will remain an important issue – as renewable energy has become increasingly more cost competitive than many conventional options. Few private investors are willing to go it alone, given the large capital costs. Government commitments and public acceptance will be a prerequisite for the development of new nuclear plants.”

“If we moderates and independents collaborate, increase our numbers and raise our voices against extremism, we can move society in the direction of our values and help save our democracy—before it’s too late.”

@strypey Human Rights is the one doctrine, a prime directive, if you will, that by definition does not pit one party against another in a power struggle. Equal rights for all!

@msquebanh @PaulNickson @soc_i_ety Heh, my personal thoughts and opinions are very much in alignment with theirs.
I am a bachelor of psychology and a bachelor of mathematics, so I share some basic fundamentals of thought with them.

“The Republican plan to sneakily cut Medicaid, explained: Medicaid work requirements are really just spending cuts in disguise.
The Republican proposal to require people to work in order to receive Medicaid benefits poses an existential question about the very nature of government assistance: Do you need to do something to earn it?”

@StillIRise1963 @edsuom I’ve often thought that America needs a third party to balance out the extremophiles in this extant duopoly of aristocratic ochlocracies.
A “White Party”, an analogue to the “Rainbow Nation”, where the core principles are strictly: UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international rule-of-law, and truth-seeking as witnesses before God.

@Lowie How about another class action lawsuit against the Republicans and the Democrats for not yet ratifying the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights?
Signed in 1977, still not ratified...
-
@Sh4d0w_H34rt @RollingStone If they really cared to make real progress, they would have actually ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
United States of America, Signed: 5 October 1977, Ratified: No.
The Obama Administration stated "The Administration does not seek action at this time" on the Covenant.

"And how long shall we have to wait before the rest of mankind become pacifists too? There is no telling. ... By what paths or by what side-tracks this will come about we cannot guess. But one thing we can say: whatever fosters the growth of civilization works at the same time against war."

@DrPsyBuffy If you care about mental health, then you need to be pushing your representatives to have the USA actually ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

Let’s keep the trend going and shrink the military budget some more so that we can actually meet our domestic human rights needs.

@walterdunham @maddad @TonyStark In return, I would ask you to “sit down and think hard for a minute” about this question:
What do you think the approx. 33% of America that doesn’t vote would vote for if “No Confidence” or “Abstain” were a ballot option?
-
@walterdunham @maddad @TonyStark the Democrats lost my vote when they blocked Lawrence Lessig from the Presidential Debates, the Republicans lost my vote when they failed to uphold Human Rights, so tell me again how my vote matters?
-
@walterdunham @maddad @TonyStark
How’s about giving us something to actually vote for besides war and the disregard of our inalienable Human Rights?

And if @andrew can chime in further on the #UNUDHR from a legal context, that would be utterly appreciated.

@JamesFinn @chrishedges thank you thank you thank you for boosting this one. i suspect thay a lot of america might get pretty politically active (in a good way) if they find out that #EvenIranSubsidizesTransHealth since the 80s.. Egypt has it’s own story.

@doctorjaymarie @blacktraffic @c_merriweather aye, states rights are clearly bounded in the constitution by the supremacy clause and other clauses. it’s unconscionable that lawmakers are disregarding, ignorant of, or have contempt for the higher intent and supremacy of the national constitution
#NoHumanRightsNoAmerica #radicalmoderate
If the country doesn’t get it’s #humanrights act together, it may face international isolation.
-
@doctorjaymarie Aye, good doctor, it’s going to take a massive grassroots effort to break the duopoly and the politicians of their dishonorable behavior over the last 75 years.

@sharonecathcart Time for a radical majority to speak up as loudly as those at the margins?

@ajkandy @juddlegum in my opinion, the time is now for the radical moderates to form up in a new “White Party”/“Rainbow Nation” where the core principles are international rule-of-law, human rights, and truth-seeking. i believe that is the best way to break the duopoly.

@juddlegum there are mobs in the radical-right and the radical-left. if people keep this up, we will turn into competing ochlocracies instead of a democracy

A new case of the radical-right using government powers to restrict public education. Indiana University and the Kinsey Institute have a decades long experience in sex research and apparently the right-wing feels justified in defunding scientific research when the research topic is too scary for them to handle.

@JoelforWI > “go negative early and often”
Are you willing to go on the record as a Democrat in WI stating that you believe in making negative attacks against your political opponents at every turn?
Willing to give you some level of patience, but that tactic is counter to the intentions of the #UNUDHR, my fellow human.
-
@JoelforWI neither Party has done their actual job about #UNUDHR - why haven’t either Party yet mandated the education of elementary-age children about it? Why is it not mandated that all secondary-school age young adults be educated in the full scale and scope of their human rights and in the context of the history of the Greatest Generation and the War to End All Wars?
As Einstein asked of Freud: Why War?
-
@JoelforWI flip sides of the same evil coin…
as it stands today, it is my opinion that the our “democracy” is on the verge of becoming a concrete duopoly of chimeral aristocracy+ochlocracy.
a better strategy:
#NoHumanRightsNoAmerica #UNUDHR #TeamFreedom
-
@JoelforWI and the DEM strategy is any different? #NoHumanRightsNoAmerica #radicalmoderate
#NotEveryConservativeChristianIsANazi -
@JoelforWI @IAm_THEPaulina @GhostOnTheHalfShell I beg to differ. The Democrats routinely embrace fascist tenets such as militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation. Practically the first act of Biden’s presidency was to launch missiles overseas, Obama’s ACA boondoggle of misguided regulation, and cancel culture, for example.

There’s not a lot of coherent ideologies anymore.
A whole bunch of institutions, parties, and people have been reduced to vibes, memes, and performance art.
Being a heretical moderate might be the way forward:

@IAm_THEPaulina @GhostOnTheHalfShell It’s as if they’ve turned away from actually promoting a Republic to promoting an Aristocracy+Ochlocracy, while the Democrats have turned away from promoting a Democracy to promoting their own Aristocracy+Ochlocracy.
I’ve often thought that we need a moderate “White Party” to counter the Red and Blue extremist parties.

it’s nice to know that I wasn’t alone in the idea of being a #radicalmoderate.
here is a discourse that I found after independently arriving at this politik:
https://areomagazine.com/2021/06/14/why-i-am-a-radical-moderate/
“Hyper-polarisation is now the norm, and it creates pressure for people to come down squarely on one side or the other. A more nuanced position works against this and helps support free speech, democratic dialogue and civil disagreement: pluralistic values fundamental to our multiracial democratic experiment.”
