SirDerpy, to politics in 'Some folks need killing': MAGA candidate praises violence in unhinged church rant

That is a stupid take

Take it up with MLK.

I can see where your chain of logic lies

Incredible feat considering you didn’t ask me shit.

I assumed the rest continued in ignorance and bad faith.

I respect your agency in your learning process and assume personal wisdom.

I learned very little useful studying the Bible and philosophy by myself. Some subjects are just that way, such as Capital. And, no one comes just wanting to learn the material. All want an opportunity for praxis.

Well, privacy can be infringed as a motivator after tax and campaign finance reform. Prison is a bigger motivator.

Taxes, government ownership, or communal ownership. For example, tax all wealth above $100m at 100%.

If I were in a position of power I’d hopefully willingly give up some privacy. But, no law can sit in judgement, let alone something so simple.

If humans constantly tempted by wealth and power, who then fall victim to it, have their right to privacy infringed, then they’ll go right on feeding their addictions, no matter the cost of maintenance of privacy?

Above, I wrote one cohesive response, not three snippets. It’s powerful because great people wrote it: from King to Wiki. I’m just a guy who knows you’re not looking for ideas.

Thank you for the compliment. But, lucky for us, humanity has much better choices.

Privacy is prerequisite to a life of dignity. It’s not a bargaining chip for another prerequisite.

Crystal clear piece of writing. Humans are obviously collectively responsible for the systems they create and perpetuate.

I am currently not smart/cognizant enough to think of a way.

An individual, regardless of wealth, power, and ability, is powerless relative the systemic mandate. Large groups produce mediocrity. Their outcomes fail to meet the prerequisite urgency of the human mandate.

However if you think there is a clever way to gum up the system in a purely procedural/bureaucratic way, I am all ears.

The first rule consists of a relatively small number of people, who know little to no information concerning organization assets (such as member identities). This limits the harm that can be done to the organization as a whole by any individual member. The structure can range from a strict hierarchy to an extremely distributed organization, depending on the group’s ideology, its operational area, the communications technologies available, and the nature of the mission.

Good idea. On another platform I could once put notes next to a username, shows up every post.

And who signs 90% of these apparatchick’s paychecks? It’s the billionaires.

The billionaires are the ones LARPing as the puppeteers. And if we don’t challenge them, their shitty LARPs are uncontested and become real.

The billionaires are the primary beneficiaries of the status quo.

I feel like you’re anthropomorphizing. The vast majority of the billionaires aren’t human. We deregulated banks with a partial repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act. And, we continued to strengthen corporate personhood.

Today, the banks are the billionaires that own the stock in the corporations that exercise their right to free speech in campaign donations to puppeteer politicians into making the status quo worse for the vast majority of humans.

Damned glad to meet you, hypnotron. You good on supplies? My cup seem to overflow, at the moment.

The government is allowed to impeach them. Legally speaking.

Yes.

The right will block such an action though because they too are corrupt.

I encourage ignoring the present day situation for a moment. Instead, think along the lines of systemic design.

If our system exists as a two party system, if one party takes a strong position using whatever legal means, they know the other party will soon also use the tactic in greater magnitude. If they impeach Justices, the vote certainly along party lines, then the composition of Congress changes, and their Justices will surely face impeachment. If one party wisely expands the court leaving room for future expansion, the other party will in the future certainly expand the court to the limit.

Neither party actually needs to fulfill promises to anyone but those that donate money for the propaganda. The propaganda keeps the vast majority from killing all the would-be kings, money lenders, and politicians.

The initial designers of our system predicted that the greatest weakness is the possibility of devolution into a two party system. They thought it’d take much longer than “immediately”.

Coming back to the modern day, and he last several years, I think some protesters said it best:

Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Biden, too! Neither of them give a fuck about you!

Fast forward to August. The IRS wants to know why you didn’t pay taxes.
