Politics is the new Religion

[UpAndComing]

Since these past 2 months, never have I seen so much passion and fear towards the election and the election results. Seeing so much people hang on every word, like their life is defined by it

It's now a religion. Religious fanatics think they can pray themselves out of oppression
Political fanatics think they can vote themselves out of oppression

Like people even think picking Trump or Hilary was going to make a difference. They are both EVIL. Ya'll really think your vote counts, while the people behind the scenes already pick who they want to pick, and kill as many Black people as they please. While they give you a smokescreen like you had a choice in it. It doesn't matter who they elect, they are all going to be evil

Like I been saying before. It's like alot of ya'll brehs rather wallow and feel sorry for yourselves in this oppressive system, instead of breaking away into your own Black nation with businesses, education, and military arms for us and by us

Alot of us don't realize the power we have to form our own nation. But I really want to know, what is it? Ya'll don't trust each other? Is it your fear?

It is what it is I guess . Don't worry, in 4 years they'll elect another Obama so ya'll can feel comfortable again

Politics is about allocating a nation's resources...it's not about voting...

The Coli told me that only non blacks have that privilege and we should just spend the rest of our lives begging for the white man to treat us better

No...it's not...

When you are voting, protesting, organizing, lobbying...you are trying to get a nation's resource....

Economics is the study of allocating resources under the conditions of scarcity...

But politics...is ultimately about allocating a nation's resources...

You know i agree with you on he economics definition, i should have expounded

You are limited in ur definition tho still because their are other topics of concern which have nothing to do with tangible resources

Well yeah...but I mean...on the most basic level of why many people engage in politics as constituents...is their material concerns...

Citizens want social services...

Businesses want contracts, favors laws and tax breaks

NGOs want laws passed...

Organizations within the government want a budget...

Domestic politics is definitely about splitting up resources of the government...

In a way many people have said...politics is about power...

 

[levitate]

Nah, the effects politics are actually tangible and testable.

I agree with your post, but will they get a minority idk. Only one I see coming up next to run is Elizabeth Warren. Cuomo & Gillibrand plan to run in 2020 also. However, even after the election politics is on my mind. Reason being, is because my city is corrupt. We just got a new mayor and it's important to be involved politically and community wise.


Anyway, I'm for both establishing relations with our African allies and building here. Remember, Black Wallstreet was formed in Oklahoma. Then, that was raided by Whites in the riots in 1921. If we come together we can do it again. I still have hope in the AA Community, but I do worry about our community the most. Other Black nationalities are banding together. I like the Nigerian tradition. We need some sort of structure in the home.

Unlike other black nationalities. AA have been programmed to hate each other and view ourselves the same way whites do. That's why so many feel so free to c00n and bedwench, we don't check them and encourage a lot of that fukkery.

What we need to do is encourage them to love themselves. Kinda what Malcolm X taught. The AA Community needs structure.

Resources are by default scarce, so yes allocating resources is economics
However much of this does fall under the responsibility of the government, so economics is somewhat influenced by the government, but we are free market so not entirely
E.g. The government did not commission the creation of TheColi.com, @Brooklynzson decided to allocate his resources to invest in the project
