Search Results: should i try for her

Over the many years, while our fire/rescue departments and EMS services were crumbling, I was dumbfounded as to why our law enforcement partners were viewed in a much better light than our other first responders.

Just recently in my state, for example, I have been placing huge pressure on our state's politicans to classify assaults against EMS and firefighters as a felony, instead of a misdemeanor. In 2021, my state passed the Back the Blue Act which made assaults against law enforcement an automatic felony, but they left out other first responders. Upon reading the amended law, EMS and firefighters were listed in the preexisting assault legislation before it was amended, but they chose to only focus on law enforcement. This in and of itself is a prime indicator that other first responders are excluded in policymaking initiatives. Finally, as we are only one of ten states that do not have felony assault charges for harming EMS and firefighters, our lawmakers are making steps to enhance these charges.

As the years progressed, our fire and emergency services were crumbling more and more, to the point that now it is a crisis. My former paramedic and EMT coworkers always stated they felt unheard and unappreciated many years back. These were the most cynical, miserable, pessimistic people I had ever worked with. That should have been a tall tell red flag alone.

I have a theory:

I believe the leftists were trying to defund law enforcement due to anarchy. I, however, also believe the conservative right politicians supported our law enforcement specifically because they are the armed security detail for them when the shit hits the fan and to enact their police state agenda. Otherwise, any care for our first responders by our politicians are minimal.

China is advancing so fast right now but not to show off. They're doing it to improve their living. Of course with a little motivation to surpass the west and of course to attract traders around the world like what they use to do. Communism may come to mind but that's not really the case for Japan, S Korea and Taiwan, fairly westernized, yet they still have practical use for their technologies.

It's clear it's rooted in ancient wisdom, philosophies, Confucianism and pragmatism which have ancient/animistic roots, that's still applied today with modern technologies. Tech being practical used in railways, side walks, environment, healthcare, infrastructures, manufacturing and farms that makes people's lives more convenient. They're stuck in ancient times with modern tech.

The west is stuck in the industrial age with territories around the world, with systems like capital accumulation, competition, and market-driven growth which can lead to inequality, monopolies, consumerism and environmental damage. Corporates focus on tech slops, at a cost of RAM, water and electric shortage, selling tech like gadgets and smart devices for individuals to solve minor problems. Current western powers, continue to face internal pressure, tech giants exploiting people, to compete with the world indicating their empire is not over, only not on paper.

How the west keeps policing the world, it's they're still trying to dominate, demonize cultures that doesn't fit their norms. This is why I think animism should return. It existed around the world and every civilizations was once animistic. Rules was simple. People hunt, connect, sing, make art and survive. That makes us humans. People do crazy things in crisis but AI and tech can exist to make life easier so people do arts, music, games and sports like what they use to do and old jobs becomes simulators. AI slops just take those away from humans. Animism shouldn't even just return but be the dominant culture around the futuristic world.
