    You’re like a rogue, misunderstood Guru on a journey of ‘I know leave me alone, I was describing the meta-woes of seeming to carry a dearth of knowledge, not the lack itself’.

    Just pointing out from a passing ship; yeah, I see the semantic headaches and agree it’s a silly maritime tradition.




  • You know the saying surrounding the learning of history and the dangers of the lack thereof?

    It’s not cynical enough.

    It’s always thinking “this time, my knowledge and lack of scruples will supersede the human condition!” with the regressive, self-deluded authoritarian mind.

    The tragedy of the “doomed to repeat it” and “doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes” aphorisms both is always going to be a function of linear time, not the wit of the self-styled Masters of the times.

    Sucks to live on human timescales during these times tho, I think every pen since antiquity agrees.




  • Then it just looks like you’re trying to give a competitive edge to US evil social media.

    This is not just probable but certain; the whole thing is a very long way of saying this. In a world where the US worked for its citizens, this is a national security no-brainer. But we don’t live in a world where the spirit of things is followed when you can enrich yourself skirting the letter. Shit sucks, but this not a secret conspiracy; it’s realpolitik.

    and preventing youth from learning about the situation in Palestine.

    This one is more subjective…and also still probable for the same fucking reasons and good luck sharing the fact that you can act in a so called ‘security’ driven purpose and this is the perfect time to do sneaky shit. As if all of History wasn’t rife with examples with the Patriot Act being the first USA centric coming to mind amongst fuck what, hundreds?

    That is also realpolitik, and all the players know it. Shit sucks.



  • Callous self-correctness loving asses with I ill-equipped imaginations.

    What risks does the illegal face in any action that exposes them to discovery in our empathy starved, systemic abusing system?

    The same one that keeps them walking amongst a populace that both hates them and loves to exploit them…

    The fact that whatever the hell it was they ran from and risked for getting in illegally into the US despite all the horrors that itself brings was actually a worse better choice than putting up with living with dumbass rhetoric like this.

    These are people seeking a life, not willing political pawns coming here to give a fuck about our game of thrones.




  • Nah. Notice what happened here, it will happen again. The word “purge” has been used as a euphemism for so long that it’s simple meaning isn’t the first thought anymore.

    That programming ran on the moment you read the word, before you even though about the meaning of its inclusion in the context.

    This is normal human behavior, and it is exploitable.

    You will see Fascism (and the Media reporting throughout fascist times) get really funny with words. You will see fancy small syllable words for all kinds of innocent things, mean other things.

    Always question language, it’s a tool unto itself.


  • By the way, you do have the obligation to not “see his obvious guilt”. For instance, you cannot call someone a rapist just because you feel like it. That would be slander.

    Before the beloved 2nd amendment, is the first. Courts are bound by the presumption of Innocence for the good reasons you were told already.

    But your argument falls flat right at free speech; This is still fucking America, and no one is bound to believing or saying whatever another thinks by force of the government.

    As always, the boundary is the consequences of your own actions (words) when taken by another.

    Also, that’s not how slander works you rapist of the time spent reading your drivel. Prove those damages to your reputation.



  • A bit late now, but perhaps people–governments, regulators, leaders, the parties who had the freedom from the fields to sit about and draft corporate structures–should have thought about the interplay right in your statement which delivers us our current modern world.

    I.e, the below points are in my sincere opinion, fundamentally mutually exclusive:

    the corporation SHOULDN’T be considering such issues, they should only attempt to further their own goals

    and

    It’s the role of government to align corporate goals with reality, or with societal values.

    The former empowers the more agile structure of a singular corporation to devote all it can regardless of morality to ensure it controls the latter–Government, regulations, public opinion,“ownership” of natural resources–such as to maximize it’s own goals.

    The goal of any single corporation taken to absurdity is often touted as absurd because but is it really?

    What mechanisms does a corporation have to not grow until all the world is simply ‘Megacorp Branded’ ruins whose asset holdings trend to infinite on the last running quarterly report spreadsheet within a planet devoid of both investors and consumers?

    There are no brakes built into the most common corporate structures by short sighted design, and humans suck at exponentials.

    It hasn’t even been fifteen human generations since the advent of the Industrial Revolution bringing the impetus for ever speeding greed.

    If the rich were any less short sighted than the poor and money granted the wisdom they think it does, they would be pushing for corporate reform that doesn’t risk a period of “blink and both our profits and the world are gone”.

    That selfish-altruism isn’t common sense even as they all clamor for anti-aging just shows cash doesn’t provide wisdom, only opportunity to get your head out of your ass and insulation from consequence until it’s too late otherwise.
