I am a free speech absolutist. Evil people should say what they want to do…so that I can tell them what will happen if they try to ICE my neighbors. 🔫 🩸

The thing about modern discourse on social media platforms like Reddit, is that bigots get to threaten people all they like. If a good person mentions Luigi or what should happen to Musk, they get banned. THIS is the real threat to democracy.

It is best if the bad guys don’t work in secret. They should expose themselves to be monsters early and often, with decent folk making it clear that evil positions deserve equally merciless responses. I think part of why the Republicans have been so successful, is because they feel like “winners” to people who value assertiveness. Democrats almost always holds true to decorum and norms - which gives them the impression of being “weak” losers.

Some people vote for the strong, because by extension, it makes themselves feel strong. I think this explains why some people simply never listen to any amount of reason or evidence - they perceive the world through feelings, not thought. This is why “rough” speaking democrats might hold value in our society, because they can speak the same language, while still holding the values of goodness close to their heart.

To put it simply, a lot of Republicans might cease supporting Trump, if the following entered their mind: “They are stronger than me. I don’t want to get punched! Let’s stay home.”

…it isn’t terrific, but I think some people are simply biased towards authority. Be it good or evil.

Thing is, those terrible people don’t enjoy the everything that they already own, and don’t understand that they are killing cool things in the crib. People make inventions and entertain if they can…because it is fun, and they think they got neat things to show the world. Problem is, prosperity is needed to allow people to have the luxury of trying to create.

The wealthy are murdering the golden geese of culture and technology. They won’t be happier for it, and will simply use their chainsaw to keep killing humanity in a desperate wish of finding happiness.

If you talk about the Founding Fathers, specifically regarding treatises on violence. The Tree of Liberty was an autoban for at least a decade now.

If you dare speak on how the Tree of Liberty needs watering with the blood of patriots and tyrants, you get auto-banned. Reddit has been a fascist in sheep’s skin for at least a decade.

My explanation is simpler: “The body learns how to fight diseases by eating killed viruses. A vaccine gives you dead viruses, so your body can learn without having to get hurt first. A measles party uses living viruses, so your kid might suffer death or worse.”

Then show them the results.

Probably not accurate in detail, but hopefully good enough. If not, then the brevity will let you move onto someone who hasn’t abandoned their brain.

I don’t mind AI. It is simply a reflection of whoever is in charge of it. Unfortunately, we have monsters who direct humans and AI alike to commit atrocities.

We need to get rid of the demons, else humanity as a whole will continue to suffer.

Anywhere the rich gets to have their privilege, inevitably shits the pool.

It is my hope to see a 2nd Constitution, designed to engineer excessive wealth out of existence. It has become clear that too much money drives people insane.

Good. People who love each other, should be able to spend time together.

This is why we have trained leopards.

This is what their Privacy Pass extension is for. Once it verifies you as an user, it doles out a bunch of generic “arcade tokens”, which don’t have any identifying information. You lose Kagi’s personalization features while using them, but your searches aren’t tied to any account beyond just “Kagi”, so you and everybody else using the privacy extension are the same person.

At least, as I understand it.

My rule: If I can’t easily write nor remember a daily password, it is crap. My strong passwords are kept in a offline password manager, which has a relatively weak master password in the vein of “R!seaboveit@ll”. Not ideal, but at least a human can type it.

The real danger is going to be websites leaking or sharing the individual password it is given. So long as no one knows your (offline) manager’s pass, the threat can be cordoned off. Unfortunately, we can expect the integration of AI into OS ecosystems to make that method vulnerable. Say, for example, Microsoft’s Copilot or Google’s Android.

Thank you. I just printed out a PDF of your written list. Here’s hoping it finds it way into the court of a future Nuremberg trial.

You work with what you have, not what you want. Greenland has fish, minerals, and a strategic position. Minerals is probably the best bet, because everyone needs the stuff, so you get to pick who you trade with.

I think Europe or Canada should make EVs, and Greenland being given incentives to tap into their minerals to feed the materials necessary for the project. Greenland gets closer to independence, and whoever makes the cars gets to piss on Musk. Win-win, no need for the risk of CCP becoming too influential within democratic governments.

…While trade is a good thing, I think that maintaining at least a moderate level of manufacturing industry and sciences within your nation or cultural sphere to be very important. Just in case things get weird, like how 2025 has been.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the tidbit of lore. :)

I hope California, blue states, and Europe all bankroll this into an official Neo-CDC, free of Yarvin’s hatred and stupidity.

Canada still has decent friends to trade and work with. Can’t say the same for the Fascist States.

Thing is, America isn’t Trump’s country. Not in any patriotic sense. Far as he is concerned, it is just a random McDonald’s he can ransack and sell off in pieces to whoever can pay him.

Considering that DOGE can likely withdraw money from bank accounts at will, relying on cash seems very legitimate. I don’t want my life savings to just vanish because Musk felt like it. Or worse, replaced it with Muskcoin in a offer that no one can refuse.

I can see Trump and Musk ordering new denominations to one-up each other. “Crypto DOGE is worth over $9,001!” waved sharpie “Nuh-uh, Trump Bucks gets you a dozen eggs, cause I say so!”
