Dems are fucking sycophants too. Fuck Murca. I hope we burn in hell ahahahaha.

Cool story bro. It's concise and does a great job of persuading me that LLMs are better at sales than incentivized salespeople. Wow.

Does everyone in Murca think that they're billionaires? Wtf, how is this okay?

Fuck welfare for the rich also, I've been saying this for decades.

We need to stop this bullshit altogether. Can we not invest and expect a return on that investment? Look at what corp-welfare-run-amok is doing to the USA right now! We're next if we don't start making calls, people!

Albertan oil is such a small industry in this country and the world.

Alberta was a have-not province until the 1960s and received equalization payments that it now sees as unfair.

This talk of separation serves no one but the 1%. As an Albertan, I say fuck Dani and her opportunistic resource rapists.

In my mind liberalism=capitalism=conservatism.

Just because it's got different pants on, doesn't change its core message. Some have rights, while others are excluded. Liberals trade their freedoms for the security of the few at the top in-group.

The excluded "other" can change over time, but it is always excluded from those freedoms enjoyed by those at the top as long as there is conservatism, capitalism, liberalism, or any -ism.

I don't know if there's a working solution, but I know I'm anti-conservative.

There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, or “progressivism”, or “socialism”, or whateverthefuckkindofstupidnoise-ism, onto the core proposition of anti-conservatism.

No, it a’n’t. The task is to throw all those things on the exact same burn pile as the collected works of all the apologists for conservatism, and start fresh. The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get:

The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

There's no such thing.

Some might say too quick. 🤔🤔🤔

What happened to 90%?

50% of all your money is still too high!

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine please.

Omg good point. ICE could be offering that service soon for the unregistered, punitively.

Not likely, I just like to ironically pretend that it's banned everywhere.

Can confirm they're everywhere "temperate". Except Korea.

Yo we're fucked. I hope there's light at the end of the tunnel, like assisted unlivable.

You have nothing to fear if you've done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.

Magnificooooo!

No harm, no foul?
