I don't consider anything true aviation before the squirrel suit.

It is a very interesting debate. Very heated on reddit. Like is there any definite line between propaganda and sharing info?
I'm on the side that most human-generated info is propaganda to a certain extent, but I'm probably overshooting. Science usually isn't. I think the reddit definition was pretty neat. Something along the lines of disseminating info to certain groups. Suuuper broad, but a bit more strict than my thoughtless version.
“Revolutionary solidarity is always an active attack; it always involves the recovery of our own active powers that multiply in combination – in solidarity – with the active powers of others,” the document reads.
It encourages anarchists to store up anger when they witness perceived injustice, so they can turn it into violence later.
“I again open up this special compartment and put the anger of some new atrocity in it, all in anticipation of the day when I shall need this anger to bring the Empire down.”
“I perceive my anger calling me from inside this compartment, I hear the door unlatching from inside, and this new terrible question approaches me: How shall I know when it’s time for insurrection?”
It is so amazing how one side is using war-time speech to promote peace and the other (unquoted voice of the article) is using peace-time phrasing to sustain the war. The former emphasizes the urgency, the latter manipulates towards isolation with internalized shaming tactics. Truly leopardsatemyface level of journalism, 8/10, good luck with the ad revenue on that one.
Oh yeah, hands down, no argument on the ancaps. I was just rolling the ball a bit further down the line in my head and couldn't get past 'power corrupts'.
Then I wrote out 3 paragraphs of drivel only to realize that if everyone realizes the agency they have over themselves, the notion of manipulation flies out the window.
Hmh, I think I like it here. A few weeks in and I can already see a clearer path to utopia. Thank you for the inspiration!
I'm not sure we will ever find a proper cure for cronyism. The beast is multifaceted. On the most familiar side, we trust our friends better, on the uglier side, you have to sate appetites for them to lend power. I see this as our last big trial towards actual Utopia.
You are right, I am projecting my 20th century values.
The Shrike is a force of nature that makes me pee myself just the teensiest bit.
Is this a troll site? Or just lawyers?
Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!
With the salmon part, a bit, otherwise Hyperion. The Shrike is one of my favorite villains.
Ahh, gotcha.
I still have some friends who think he's going somewhere with his shenanigans, but they are pretty far from anarchists.
It's cool that he is a disqualifier now, and having some people who rooted for him before his disgrace on the podium just makes the community that much more colorful.
And some even got the cyberpunkiness almost right (Johnny Nmemonic swung so hard!). I think for every visionary piece, we have 100 lost contemporary 'trash' (not trash, more like a picture of the spirit of the time) that has already been lost.
I mean Star Trek was pretty wickedly ahead of it's time for all of the creator's shortcomings. Still can't believe that teleporting doesn't kill you every time.
