Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.

  • Look at what mask and quarantine policies have caused in America today. We've sped things up nowadays through technology and communications. The kids who grew up under mask mandates and quarantines, the moment they became adults, were essentially feral and lawless.

  • And that's why AI music is winning.

  • For me, it was somewhere around 14. Maybe younger.

  • Yes, we forgot how much social unrest the first mask policies caused. This is just China, but my feeling is that the lawlessness of the Depression in America had to do with the fallout from masking policies. Also the prevalence of masks (gas and otherwise) in interbellum Germany boosted the conservative jingoism that led into fascism and WW2.

  • No, I'm implying that most presidents after FDR should have been removed as traitors against the American people for sending innocent Americans to die.

  • They have power, they just refuse to use it. Filibuster. Refuse to show up and thus break quorum. Move and second a motion to adjourn immediately at the session opening if they do show up. Continue to do it until every Democrat has called to adjourn. Continue to propose amendments and make secondary motions to anything that's ever been touched by a Republican that would undo everything their motion/bill asks. Refuse to close discussion.

    The Democrats do have power.

    What they lack is a spine or conviction. They're too worried about their donors.

    1. The modern version of "Carthago delenda est" - everything he says should end in a call to remove the administration as traitors.
    2. Filibuster - shut down the government so that no vote can be taken until they're ready to do what needs to be done - not just until the question is put before them, but browbeat the entire Senate until either they do what's needed, or go for a full shutdown.
    3. Stop worrying about what the problems are, and only discuss the only reasonable solution. Netanyahu and his people, Putin and his people, the trade stupidity, whatever it is, they're just problems outside the scope. Focus on what we can fix here in the USA. Article II, Section 4 removal is the only way we can fix it. Bang that drum every day and keep up the constant messaging.
  • Basically I want him to quit the bullshit. He needs to make every word, every possible public action, and every working moment as a public representative a direct push to remove the entire administration.

  • Pointless grandstanding. Where's the action to remove this treasonous and illegitimate administration?

  • Article 2. Cutting off trade with our allies and breaking treaties for a war that no decent human wants must be treason.

  • They "sent complaints"? They didn't refuse to fight due to the First Amendment violation?

    They're complicit.

  • Someone forgot 'stand'.

  • When are they going to "suggest" an Article II removal?

  • Yes, they do. You're intentionally sharing food with them. They know you care.

  • This would be great - if there was a Discord/Meetup-style instance so that it could be started for free and communicate with other local communities. As is, I can't justify the cost, or the time. Plus, I'm in a densely packed area, and each group would want their own space. So as of now, this can't be a Meetup killer.

  • How interesting that the Buttery Mails have really turned out to be his.

  • I'll admit that a lot of my understanding of nihilism came from existentialist thinkers, and from Turgenev's Bazarov.

  • That's a fair thing to be concerned about - any blind faith is a problem. We should always be ready to, if not slaughter our sacred cows, at least take them to the vet once in a while (apologies for the tortured metaphor).

  • That's depression, not nihilism. Nihilism is related to existentialism, and is about believing in nothing but what you experience or can prove. Unfortunately it's very close to some forms of scientism, whereby someone makes "Science" their religious faith. The idea of nihilism is to be faithless and to view the world through the lens of the material.
