Your comment appears vague into your stance or even what the 'nice' thing is that you're referencing. After reading the article, there are several opposing interests for which your words could apply in this situation. What do you mean?

Besides magic or the possibility you erred however. On a purely theoretical and divorced from your situation to be perfectly clear: How?

If you truly did all you did and re-built how did they still peg you as Theseus after you rebuilt your ship do you reckon?

Oh!? A law that wasn't in effect when you went through the same life situation wasn't in effect when you went through it, so it's BS?

Was Henry Ford's Model T car, the printing press, and the fact that it used to be legal to own people also BS because those things weren't at the store last time you went?

It is not a case of whatever the fuck it is you want to think it maybe it. It is exactly the evil those who kinda call BS have sown, and the thresher is reaping its way to you eventually too.

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.

Love the vibe and energy against pretense for pretense sakes, but your source makes you seem demented as it literally repeats exactly what they said if you read it.

I feel that their next war is on education and masculinity.

The latest shots in the former march on by under the banner of 'woke [literally any noun]' is ruining our children these days, but that war has been raging since the 80s. 'They're' winning by strangling the purse strings and efficiencies out of public education.

The latter? Masculinity? That one has been a total occupation for hundreds of years already.

Our sisters, mothers, and daughters have been warning us even before the side effects get to them. Of the emotional self-immolation a Patriarchic-controlled society demands of men by violence and shame until 'Men don't cry' can be such poisonous words that many men end up kissing the barrel of a gun than using their lips to communicate their struggles to each other.

It took trauma and the effects of such turning sharpening empathy into a survival mechanism rather than the too often opposite for me to even have been able to introspect myself out of just the more common and pervasive aspects of 'toxic masculinity'.

Make no mistakes; whatever you want to call 'hearts and minds', the twisted craven swine undermining the concept of basic humanity know very well to keep assaulting them. Education and empathy are the only things that can empower an actual successful removal of the Takers' ability to do the same.

"The" achievement. It was enabled by humanity's shitty heuristics and still developing (it will never get to develop, I don't think) ability for longer term thinking.

It wasn't hard to do, but they sure kept at it.

If we can't fix it, if the world continues on a slide to shit, if it's all doomed to a stupid end then I have but one desire:

That when the echelons at the top tumble alongside the rest of civilization, they try at the end, right at the very 11th hour to recall their rabid masses because they need them to listen...

Only to hear back "Fake news" as the rabid mass of blind hatred they built tumbles down their would-be world too.

I have no idea how to best present all that you said at the right time and places to capture enough grassroots attention to actually take off, but man. That really does all read like the perfect "disruption (pardon the tech bro term) to Match's model.

Bribery and conflict of interest regulations and laws tend to be suspiciously not applicable to a lot of law enforcement funding related situations...

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.

Y'all. Did you have your coffees this morning?

There's already an organically evolved etymologically rich word for the "passing of closed thinking", that harkens back to "leading in" or Inducing...

Indoctrination.

Thank you for sharing this insight! It's frustrating to hear everyone everywhere speculate about how easily the active military would turn, not considering...well, everything you wrote.

Yeah, ex-military of course is part of the brainwashed; nowhere else in the civilian world (outside of mercenary work) is warfare conducting knowledge of direct use.

Add that our Government has not always done even the bare minimum for our vets, and you got a recipe for the radicalization of the "disenfranchised warriors" (quotation because I don't consider oathbreakers worthy of any title).

They're gonna fall and listen to the honeyed words of Fascism in a different, harder way than your average civilian. That's a call to something they amongst the rest of their group are genuinely and tangibly valuable for--until they aren't.

Please do note that I do see the rise of American fascism as a real threat. It’s just not going to manifest because state Guard orgs decide to disobey orders.

Same, and I do still worry for the death tolls. That "theirs" (the civilians, who can be said to not know better) would be orders of magnitude higher than any on the military's side doesn't mean I'd like to see deaths on either side.

You're not an idiot, but you're sure limiting the scope of your concerns. Many would die on both sides. But "Many" has a lot of room for nuance inside it.

Let's take out the big arms and leave it at small arms and infantry assistance technology. The actual, newer than the mothballs police departments get gifted.

Do you actually figure that the remainder of the military which doesn't turn traitor is gonna be outnumbered by the seceding traitors in this civil war scenario?

Did you also account for the metric fuckton of able bodied people who would enlist during an open war to stomp out Fascism at home in the open like that? The largest regressive ideology spewing for the entire history of the Union state?

The far right isn't even remotely sized large enough to outsize the non-crazies in the military and those who would run to go join for the resources to defend their country.

It would absolutely lead to much blood shed on both sides. But the losses on New Texas? would at minimum be a whole ass order of magnitude higher. At minimum.

I really would rather not have to pick up arms, and I hope most would too.

But rest assured, the US military would shock and awe the fuck out of Texas to dissuade any in the other 49 from fucking around and finding out, if legit Civil War broke out at Texas' provocation.

As a person of color with the physical and mental capacity to go through the "Bad case scenario" that I desperately would very much fucking rather not, I thank you for the kind reminder that this is really about "The Helpers" and the "The Takers".

They say all that evil rhetoric to rile their base, but I don't think they realize that in some, they are slowly increasing the fear that we'll have to be the monsters they paint us out of a need for survival.

Classy letter agencies. Surprised they didn't just Photoshop NSA on top of an FBI "no, fuck your inquiry" letter without any further changes.

They all need mandated Public Relations teams. Not the ghoulish capitalist idea that really means "Publicity Relations", but actually meaningfully and transparent (within honest and good faith security consideration reasons*) departments whose mandate is to square up the operational needs with the citizen rights to information.

Yes, I know it would be more likely to trip over a genie's lamp so I can ask for the Unicorn dragon I always wanted.

It's data, that's all that's needed. That you or I can't think of a reason or use case (well, outside of authoritarian nation state business that is) that makes it valuable just means we aren't likely ghoulish enough.

But you can't change your genetic data, so it's a bundle of "anonymous" data that will forever remain just waiting for the right link to irreparably link it to someone.

Cheap data point now, but who knows how useful or valuable it could be if the cyberpunk Dystopia of Tech Bro Billionaire's wet dreams come to pass?

I'd wish for you to have to live through a warzone between two ideologies while your normal ass is just trying to make a living through it all, but with my luck you're one of my dumbass neighbors literally or figuratively.

And that wouldn't be fair to the rest of the innocents around you.

I'm shocked it hasn't happened to me before, but for the first time online in 15 years I actually feel this sentiment; fuck you very much and all you stand for.

Uh...those things that Hitler is remembered for came after the amassing a base of rabidly dissatisfied people ready to...fuck why am I bothering? May life give you exactly what you deserve.
