I imagine there are quite a few kind Draco out there, if this species you speak of is out there, like to see what r/reptiliandude has to say on this. Even if their own ilk may be ravenous. No one likes to see a brother take a dark path, especially when you know that path will only lead to their own ruin.

You think, perhaps, these are the source of Satan as the "serpent/red dragon" in Revelation?

[–] [deleted] 1 points

[–] emperorbma 1 points

Hmm. From what you say I suppose these Draco don't sound much like they'd be a candidate for the source of John of Patmos's reference to the Devil as the "red dragon" in Revelation. /u/garbotalk has specifically denied that a rogue Naigaje could be the reason behind this association. Mainly I'm just hoping that it's not just a Kayeen injection to corrupt our Holy Writ since my Lutheran tradition uses it the norm of doctrine and faith and I'd have to do some more extensive hoops to establish the pattern for the Biblical norm than I already do with evolution (rejecting my tradition's YEC) and various other issues that don't impact core tenets but make pure literalism impossible. Perhaps it's a leftover from the evolutionary history and its incorporation into Eden was a part of God's archetypes given to early humanity before the Kayeen manipulation started.

Anyway, RD has seemed to tangentially confirm there actually is a Devil when I noted the Ba'alaket colonizing Venus was rather ironic due to its 108 degree and "Morning Star/Light Bearer" associations but I haven't got any specifics on that. Maybe a rogue faction of the Assembly led by a charismatic evil angel that possibly inspired the self-serving actions of the Kayeen and others?

RD has specifically implied that the "overwriting" can be at least temporarily disrupted with DMT release which occurs in the original form of John's Baptism which caused hypoxia due to the controlled drowning. It was implied that this severs the control chip from acting on the individual since it fools it into thinking the host is deceased.

From my own experiences as a Lutheran I know that the Sacrament of Baptism does protect against the incursions of the Devil. That was part of my conversion experience before coming to actually join to the Christian faith in earnest since before I really had no big connection to any of it. So, at least in my experience as a Lutheran, FWIW, I can see the Holy Spirit working in Baptism to rebuke possession attempts.

I have a theory that Bill Clinton is the entity formerly known as “Zeus/Jupiter” and Hillary Clinton is the entity formerly known as “Hera/Juno.” They probably became overwritten when they did the Voodoo ceremony in Haiti, I’d guess.

Edit: also Barack Obama is a likely candidate for a Kayeen “shatam” (Sumer-Akkadian: administrator, and etymological link for the Hebrew word for adversary) IMO.

Edit 2: Maybe Pope Francis too. Changing the Lord’s Prayer is evil and reflects the disdain the Kayeen have for the One.

[–] lelekfalo 1 points

While I don't like Pope Francis, I will say that over the past decade the Catholic Church has reworded a few things to better reflect the oldest extant versions. In this case, the Italian Lord's Prayer was changed from "...abandon us not into temptation..." to "...lead us not into temptation..." which is how it is said in both the English and Latin translations.

[–] emperorbma 1 points

I had understood the change to have been from “lead us not into temptation” to “do not let us fall into temptation.” (ref)

As I understood it the word shift changed the word from a middle voice (implying God is sovereign even though evil people rebel) to a passive voice. (where we’re the main agency and God takes a back seat). But I am not Roman Catholic and I’m mainly reading this with a Lutheran/Augustinian lens so I probably understood the intent wrong.

[–] lelekfalo 2 points

Oops. I read it backward. I thought it had been "do not abandon us into temptation" and he approved the change to "lead us not into temptation."

Apologies.

This does against what they did with the English Missal in the late oughts then. Pity.

Would there be a way to stop it with abstinence? People love their free social media.

The source code for all the gadgetry is still in place and marketable to other top social media sites. And the bottom line is, who can withhold a bribe coming from the list of players involved?

People who want to be in power, shouldn’t be in power. It is usually best to have someone who doesn’t want to do something for fame or recognition, but for the reputation. How ironic is it that most of our leaders are power hungry?

We need someone who is objectively intelligent, fit for the role, and who will promote collaboration, not war.

As a society we feed you lies about the supposed humanity we project, to the extent we misquote a dead guy with the moral objective to sooth you but will never become a reality without intervention:

Donald Ripley: “It’s become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.” Powder: Albert Einstein. Donald Ripley: I look at you, and I think that someday our humanity might actually surpass our technology.

The French Revolution never happened until the Middle Class understood resistance could succeed thanks to the Americans. Ironically by thumbing their nose at the British by helping the US the French king setup the preconditions for his own overthrow. Point being that people don’t generally resist unless they imagine success a possible conclusion. Apathy is often resignation to inevitability. Hard to be motivated to try if the cost is infinite and the benefit is nil.

I guess DARPA's creation is starting to make it's own choices. Now they have to rein it in.

Honestly, I never knew it ran so deep. Or that Zuckerberg didn't even make the damn thing. I guess it being the result of a rather misfortunate power play by this Deep State is depressingly true stealing from some programmers is just so sadly real. I guess the hero rebel he's portrayed as in the Social Network isn't exactly real, now is it. (That movie aged like curdled milk.)

I know I myself have curtailed some app activity since realizing some of this. This just ain't right.

It's crazy how people will accept this now that its a private company doing it. Like because its under the guise of a free market, they'll just let people do anything. A government is beholden to its people, a company to its owner or shareholders. Both built on the backbone of people. The only recourse people have towards a company is that people can just avoid buying what it sells, or have their kings, representative, public servant, stop the company should it be too powerful.

Such as when we create parks to prevent companies, people, from just shredding up the country, as Teddy Roosevelt did in 1901. In his time, Bison, Sheep, and other animals were being decimated and hunted without any oversight. It even started to effect Roosevelt's very own Ranches. So he instilled protected lands into America to insure that land remained healthy and protected. So that our resources were not overeaten and used like some crappy all-you-can-eat buffet.

He extended this out to his policies on breaking up trusts. He did this as he thought the current behavior of these companies would lead to a violent uprising that would destroy America, and because this company leaders saw themselves as superior to elected officials. Such as when he broke up the Railroad monopoly of J. P. Morgan's, the same dude the largest of our banks is named after. (Mind you, I say 'our' like drinking poison. This is not an aspect of pride.) He refused to deal with Morgan, and broke up the company anyway.

A qoute of his I think surmises this salience well:

We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation.

If you take more water than the well produces, you'll run out of water. This is the same for all things on this planet. And we've become rather gluttonous as of late.

Mind you, this was in the 1900's. He wasn't some Marxist or some Evil Socialist Norwegian. He hunted game and was a business owner. He was an American who gathered from his observation of the facts that: if this behavior and business wasn't curtailed, American, and even it's very own businesses, would face further strife. As he observed problems that arose during his tenure as a Ranchman and as a Hunter.

I see a lot of parallels with today. Though sadly I don't think Trump is gonna carry of this conservative tradition. Or most conservatives nowadays, who seem more worried with Evangelicalism that the type of conservatism Teddy represented. Frankly it seems to me a conservative nowadays who focused on the environment like this would be nigh be burned at the stake.

Since when did the conservative party become the capitalist, the Robber Barron party?

It's this ignorance and lack of restraint that'll turn us Kain, lest we curtail it.

As I see it. These companies need to be broken up, as they have infested our public, and our government. They have lobbyists in our pants, they're eliminating first amendment rights, and in turn trying to program us.

They will be our new government is we are not careful. And they will sell us and use us as the Kain and their pitiful ilk now do too.

Mind you, a stomp against them in turn is a stomp against these radical parts of our government who're more focused upon their own agendas than the one this country was founded on.

Our checks and balances are a beautiful thing. It high time we use it.

How can "we" as the proles put these corporate overlords in check? Boycott? Strike? Protest? Pick up arms? Seems like every time an actual Grass Roots movement happens it gets bastardized. Remember how the occupy movement brought us all together? No body was fighting about Nazis or racism, we just got together to tell the world we were sick of getting fucked by banks and government. It wasn't right/left partisan bullshit, it was us vs. them.

My friend was at Kent state and feels the same way about the Civil rights movement. Meant to be about good but subverted to the point he regrets even participating. Seeing the trash that SJWs do is like a slap to the face for every thing he fought for.

[–] fieldlilly 3 points

I still love the Civil Rights movement. I will not let the actions of militant ideologues pollute Dr. King, Corretta Scott King or Brown vs. Board of Education, or even the Montgomery Bus boycott. Those were much needed Social movements, and the people that participated in them were fucking hero’s on an epic scale. Liberals and SJW’s try to limit our speech by calling us racists, but we need to flip the coin and show them without a true spirit and commitment to individual freedom and choice, that there never would have been a Civil Rights Movement.

I know there is so much bitterness and resentment from what was done in the past, but there is a point where the past is the past and you have to partner with people that have the same overall aims as you, even if their Great-great grandfathers were slave holding scum.

It is one of the Tenants that Jesus taught... that you could be absolved from the sins of your forefathers and not bear their sins upon your flesh, but be absolved of them and live to make the world a better place.

[–] emperorbma 2 points

Tenants that Jesus

The other day, when I shared this discussion with him, he said the biggest betrayal was that it led to the despiritualization of the West as that was not the intention of those like him fighting against inconsistency in religious behavior, not abolishing it entirely. He blames John Lennon's "Imagine" for the "turn at Albuqurque."

[–] fieldlilly 4 points

I would have to hear all of his reasoning to fully understand how and why he puts the blame of despiritualization of the West on the shoulders of the Civil Rights Movement. I think a big portion of that bill should be payable to other factors at the same time. I mean, a couple of wars that were morally ambiguous, the Beatnik/Hippy Era, the sexual revolution, the rise of the Military Industrial Complex, the trend towards consumerism.

Quite frankly, killing Jim Crow and all his buddies will continue to have deep, lasting moral value long after all the bullshit that it supposedly done in the same “spirit” meets its much anticipated demise. We have to do the right thing that is set in front of us... we cannot anticipate what stupid or opportunistic scum will try to morph that into later, but walking past or ignoring a wrong that we have the power to stop or change is the true sin.

It's ironic that I have to psychoanalyze the psychologist, but I think his primary regret is that he feels betrayed by the cultural movement he helped. He left it to go work in psychology (which he eventually left because it became "drug pushing" instead of real interaction with patients) and then medical research in the 1970s hoping everything was set on the course toward good things and instead comes to find out 50 years later after he's ready to retire that it has not only reversed the course but it's completely been turned into an attack on conservatives and white people.

It was not just the Civil Rights Movement but the effects of the entire cultural revolution. He's watched in the media as men are vilified as "fat, lazy pigs." He's watched the media deliberately foisting interracial marriages as preferential. (Do a statistical analysis on how many couples of different varieties you see depicted... it's shocking) He looks at how Democrats deliberately attack the President constantly with calculated lies and slander that deliberately omit good things that he's done. He sees SJWs and moral simpletons using the concepts people like him bled and sometimes died for to create a bully club to attack white people and conservatives as "racist, sexist, homophobes" because they would not elect a criminal witch. He's watched how socialists turned his movement about personal empowerment and freedom into a movement of craven power-grabs and enslavement to vain self-serving ideals.

I think the best summary comes from Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminati Papers:

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

In his time, he honestly saw it as supporting the rights of women and minorities. Now he wonders if he didn't unwittingly open the door for Satan to step in and screw over the entire world.

[–] fieldlilly 3 points

...first off, this is not the cultural revolution that he helped. It is something else entirely, that is wearing it like a mask to fool the masses. The underlying theme being that they call themselves civil rights activists, and therefore if you don’t agree with them then they claim that you don’t support any civil rights. People of understanding can recognize this logical fallacy, but it is not boosted on the logical premises of human and divine rights, it is boosted on the petty narcissistic and hedonistic principles of feel-good and reactionary emotion.

People who bled and died to bring about freedom and empowerment to those it was denied to need to be the ones shouting the loudest that what these charlatans and idiots are pedaling is Jim Crow with a white face instead of a black one. They still have street cred... it is better than agonizing over being called racist merely for existing.

[–] emperorbma 1 points

The forces behind manipulating this world like to take the passion of young idealists, encourage it, then twist it into something else to push another agenda entirely. Maybe some of the idealists themselves are sincere but the Trojan Horse was unintentionally built into the movements themselves from well before these idealists ever came up. We often hear about how early feminists were the suffragettes but we rarely hear about the firebombing socialist lunatics that also called themselves feminism then. The problem is that the infiltrators are always there waiting to coopt the movement.

The real idealists fought and either died or saw their movements rotten from within by manipulators. The Cabal is always waiting in the wings to bleed off their starry-eyed followers into their rabbit trails of doom. Seeing that must be extremely horrifying for those who meant something good to come out of their work.

EDIT: As Spoony Bard/Noah Antweiler said re: his betrayal by the Ultima series. "You know? That's life in a nutshell, right? There's nothing I can care about so much that I won't eventually see it turn to shit in betrayal. I could list them off. Ultima. Star Wars. Indiana Jones. Fucking Spider-Man with One More Day. Comic books in general. Final Fantasy. ...Fuck, my job. My fucking life. Just take it from me, alright? The most you people can hope to do is die before you can see everything you take joy and comfort in rot into filth and leave a steaming, stinking hole in your soul that NEVER FUCKING HEALS."

[–] fieldlilly 1 points

Well, I suppose Neitzche would be proud of that sentiment, but I can’t say I have ever been fond of nihilists.

If movements full of idealism are prone to manipulation by subversive infiltrators, then the burden falls even more heavily to those that are skilled enough to detect it and squash it, not sit around feeling sorry for all of their previous wasted effort.

[–] emperorbma 2 points

I doubt he's onboard with Spoony, although I've showed him the video with that quote. The reason I cite it is not as an excuse but more of an observation. As I said before: "Apathy is often resignation to inevitability. Hard to be motivated to try if the cost is infinite and the benefit is nil."

He's more of the "hunker down and build a farm to survive the coming collapse" outlook, actually. As am I.

[–] fieldlilly 1 points

...And how is that outlook/movement going to get subverted and Trojan-horsed? There is already a lot of disinformation, paranoia and shitty social movements and ideals that are being born out of it.

Sometimes we learn tough lessons early on if only so we are better prepared for when it really matters.

[–] emperorbma 1 points

I don't know how you prevent the subversion. My friend watched his own brother turn into a snub nosed "feel good atheist" spouting progressive newspeak and knows hundreds of people from the 60s that are now rabid foaming at the mouth God-hating progressives. What the hell makes that 180 degree change?

I mean, part of this is why he and I think this whole Kayeen thing is a reasonable hypothesis... What else could make people do that kind of shift but demons or aliens?

[–] fieldlilly 1 points

I don’t know how you prevent the subversion.

You look at case studies throughout history and study the factors, dynamics, and common threads. You analyze those common threads and turn them into indicators. You then study examples where similar indicators were squashed or otherwise neutralized, and you turn those into tactics, and you share them with people you trust. You then ruthlessly neutralize every indicator that you come across.

Some places you can start looking for hints on what to keep an eye out for is in well-documented revolutionaries that subverted movements to their whims such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Mao and Kim Il Sung (heck, even Sygmond Ree). Those will help people to recognize indicators. As far as tactics... well there are a multitude. Unless it is already at the state of open conflict, though, I recommend Machiavelli and Sun Zu.

If you want to make your research less obvious, read everything that Robert Heinlein ever wrote. His science fiction novels are instruction manuals for how to wage this type of warfare.

The fastest way to derail most shit is to have no leadership.

The thing is this: no anarchy ever survives large scale.

Ever.

There is always a need to organize the troop together with effective leadership, whether this be an elder, counsel, patriarch, complex system of balances, martyr, whatever, you need a leader that will net you towards your organized goals, whether it be running a coffee shop to leading a camp troupe, to running an alien civilization.

You need someone that can stamp out the idiots who care more about the enemy's feelings than getting any thing done.

Do you think the banker your protesting will give two shits about some wet apes complaining about the gendered language they're using to protest?

Do you think the workers you're trying to rile up care?

They don't. And a good leader will know this, and focus the group to instead get shelter, organize resources, and even prepare should the leader die and fail. They won't focus too much on how harsh their words are, they will focus on getting their job done. Not to imply that getting the job done is of itself righteous, but that it needs to be the focus.

We can easily blame the Kain and their Consortium for causing this. They've had the reddest hand, one they'll never wash away(I dare say its written in the stars themselves...and I don't think stars forget.)

But these are our human problems. We can only demand they act responsible for themselves, and ask for help, but we must showcase ourselves' ability to work and in turn organize. Occupy's failure was on us, not the Kain and their ilk.

Truly it is on us to organize and focus ourselves. And we do that slowly by organizing these smaller movements that turn to big ones. That starts with you, me, and the you reading this. Even the aliens.

This universe if formed from our choices. Is it forming to your liking? What do you think dad?

Best we can do, make our choices, before we can't make them anymore.

You can’t have a “Leaderless” movement.

That’s just pointless.

You know... if you encountered someone raping someone else, you wouldn’t just stand there and tell them to “Stop! I see you and you should know that what you’re doing is very, very wrong!”

No.

You’d pull them off and kick their fucking ass to subdue them.

That’s how it’s done.

By the time they’ve got their dicks in there and their grinning away with impunity they’re actually beyond the point of reasoning.

I had an Austrian patient today who came in with broken glasses.

When asked what happened, he explained that someone punched him in the face during a soccer game because they were upset they lost.

"OMG! What did you do then?!" one of our opticians asked.

"I punched him back." the kid replied, in a tone that screamed "Obviously..."

My optician was appalled he responded with violence. I explained that the kid responded in the only language his attacker understood. He stood his ground, and refused to get the shit kicked out of him by another young man who was a sore loser and thought a violent tantrum was a solution to his woes.

But as Americans, we have to reason with wrongdoers and make sure we don't offend.

All the Occupy Movement did was to stink up a park for a couple of years.

I’d have hired Rodney King and had a bunch of actors dressed as Wall Street bankers beating him into the ground.

It would have made a point which the shitheads with the drum circles couldn’t.

Also, the lack of riots was throughly disappointing.

Those in control of the real power in society don’t give a shit about anything until actual flames from the civil unrest start sending sparks floating into the air over their own businesses or neighborhoods.

The people are too dumb and lazy and overly occupied with the lives of their betters to do much of anything besides whine

This is by design, of course - this fattening up and thinning out of the species, just in time for all that fancy technology to come online to automate our total subjugation

You can feel a righteous outrage beneath the surface, though, writhing up from that minority of individuals that look around their world and realize that this is not how it needs to be

One million people just took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest a new extradition policy with China

That's one in seven people in all of Hong Kong

In New York, a similarly sized city, ~50-100K protesters turned out for the May Day March on Wall Street in 2012

That's about one in seventy people in NYC

And while I certainly agree that the unwashed hordes of wannabe hippies that came to symbolize Occupy did little good for the movement, at least their message was presented and consumed by the public: that 1% of Americans control 40% of all wealth

As importantly, that number has increased some 400% since around that time Nixon licked the tip of his pen at Bretton Woods

But when Americans learned that the profits earned on their backs went directly up to the top and never once trickled down, the collective reaction was rather meek, to say the least

Most shrugged their shoulders and thumbed up a few memes, while an outraged few decided to go camping downtown for the summer

One would think that the people of Hong Kong might have had a different reaction to such news. After all, look at how many came out for an extradition policy. Imagine the reaction to learning that the past 40 years of their country's domestic policy had resulted in the largest wealth gap since the roaring 20's

Would they have taken to the streets en masse and demanded the heads of every politician responsible for this treachery? Because, make no mistake about it, the diversion of the money flow towards the swollen bank accounts of the already wealthy is nothing less than theft, and we should want blood for our sacrifice

But few do. Because the greatest trick of this multigenerational heist is that the people don't feel like anything has been stolen from them. After all, they've got Google and Facebook and Xbox and a host of mundane distractions to keep their mind off what really plagues them

Specifically, the mounting debt that threatens to bury so many, courtesy of those wealthy few and their sock puppets in Washington who would prefer to keep the peasantry chained to their consumerism

The average American has such considerable debt that it would take them 3.8 years to work it all off (assuming all monies made went to servicing their debt). For the average Hong Kongese, that figure is a rather more manageable 1.4 years - though Hong Kong is certainly more debt ridden than China (0.8 years), Russia (0.6y), Iran (0.2y) and Saudi Arabia (0.1y, big surprise)

I would think that the people of Hong Kong, per their recent demonstrations, would have certainly taken to the streets in 2012 in greater numbers than those New Yorkers, but at the end of the day it's just speculation

I only know that, as a man who once had money and now has none, the very idea of marching on my city or taking arms against the aristocracy sounds just so terribly exhausting

I have bills that are unpaid, after all - how could I justify devoting my time to such "idealistic" pursuits?

Besides, there's whole bunch of shit on Netflix that I haven't seen yet, and a new Action-RPG-Adult-Puzzle-Shooter title just hit the shelves...

It'll be easier if I just chew on my bread and gawk at this neverending circus, right?

First of all, we can stop thinking of ourselves as “proles.”

Secondly, RD made an entire thread on “Rapey the Rooster” that in part, was designed to show us how to subvert the systems that are designed to keep us in check. Jokes and Memes have demonstrable power to get people thinking and changing their minds. If the media backlash against those memes and ideas is virulent enough, it gets people thinking even more, because... why all the fuss if it isn’t a real issue?

The Occupy Movement failed in part, because it saw the solution as replacing our Capitalist system with a Socialist/Communist one. It played into the victim mentality more than “the song of angry men” mentality.

Proles is... accurate.

’If there is hope,’ wrote Winston, ‘it lies in the proles.’

If there was hope, it MUST lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses, 85 per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflexion of the voice, at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength. would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet ——!

[–] fieldlilly 2 points

I still tend to disagree.

Proles had no hope and were no hope if for no other reason than they thought of themselves as such, and as hope-less. They were also an already conquered population, where we are still at the moment only a besieged one. Our third-party institutions of trust such as banking, law enforcement and media may have been captured... but as long as we can stay out of the “Prole” mindset, we can still turn this around, at least to a degree and replace those institutions with systems that are inherently trustful, cannot be repudiated or hacked.

[–] BlurpleFart 3 points

I think the idea was that Winston felt the Proles were more free because they could still freely feel and that was what was ultimately important.

I feel like the Proles are representative of what we are when we are collectively asleep which is why we must wake up before it’s too late.

[–] fieldlilly 2 points

I like your point that they were still free to feel.

But feeling isn’t enough. Their feeling gave them just enough of an outlet for them to forget about doing, and that is not an outlet that we can allow ourselves. Because right think was never far from the Proles, once they had finally conditioned themselves, it was right around the corner.

Don’t get me wrong, Winston has always and will continue to be one of my hero’s, even though his last thought was that he loved Big Brother. Possibly because of that... because he made me see how screwed up everything around me was.

I'll see your Christian Bales and raise you Gun Fu. Which, I have to admit for a martial arts style revolving around guns I'm quite impressed with it. It was a decent movie, and I agree its worth a watch.

YESS!!!!

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 3 points

The Occupy movement lacked momentum.

They just occupied, and didn't go anywhere with it. That movement lacked focus, and its goals lacked weight. There was no focus. At least the latest Yellow Vests have demands.

Now what really would've kicked em in the balls is if they also tried to make their own banks and money. Or pushed to disallow such corporate within their own local communities. Like how Nantucket banned all chain stores from Downtown. Or how Greenfield has kept Walmart and its ilk at bay.

Mind you, this is not to say local laws are inherently more moral or righteous. Just as easily they can be used to harm citizens. Hence the first amendments and supreme court that check and balance local power, which may well become a bullying power.

Another thing I think works is slowly taking on these systems. Lack at the Weed movement in Colorado and the general west. It was a slow process of legalization at the local level.

Truly the most power you have for effective change is at the local level. Often is the case here in America, from Gay Marriage, Woman's Voting Rights, Emancipation; these were movements that grew out from the local level and in turn exploded out to the national level.

Look also to what Garbo has to say here: https://www.reddit.com/r/reptiliandude/comments/by9ln6/alphabet_inc_and_darpa/eqis46m/

Support anti-trust legislation.

Looks like the US traded one nobility for another, now with better PR.

200 or so years was a good run. But maybe its time for some tea in the harbor and rousing of rabble again.

[–] emperorbma 5 points

The tea party was 2016 and giving the would be queen Rodham the middle finger. Google is connected to her and her campaign through Eric Schmidt. Facebook she was trying to be put on the Board of Directors just last year.

P.S. our "Ginger-haired Lex Luther" better break up GoogleFacebookDisney soon, though.

Edit: Per RD.

[–] fieldlilly 3 points

He will... if someone can convince him how it benefits him personally.

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 1 points

Tell him his personal financial information is on the line, or something like that.

Like some danger to him and his business, maybe. Show him how this can truly fuck him up. He should have the balls to do it, I hope,

You need to change “condensed” to “censored.”

And change the Campbell’s gold symbol to a gold Illuminati symbol—the one with the triangle and the eye.

What happened to not using an existing brand logo to slander an innocent company?

[–] fieldlilly 3 points

The difference being in that this image references the original, without over taking it. The images that RD was censoring before were original art commissioned for a specific brand.

This particular meme references that brand without sullying it or overtaking it. It is easily recognizable as a meme, so the overall brand will not be hurt by being associated with Zuckerberg or Facebook.

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 2 points

Ah. Now I get the difference.

Subtle, yet distinct.

I guess it’s not like it saying: campbell’s soup, eats your data

[–] fieldlilly 1 points

[–] reptiliandude Reptilian 3 points

Its also a HUGE brand that is well known and which can readily be utilized according to the supreme court’s provisions for the use of satire.

You can thank Bill Gaines and Mad Magazine for bringing that litmus test into law.

[–] fieldlilly 3 points

This is why I like www.minds.com

It is a social network site that uses decentralized blockchain technology and guarantees free speech, while enabling individual privacy and control over your own data.

The founder, Bill Ottman even had an interview on the Joe Rogan show where he talked about how free speech as one of the pillars of freedom. When Facebook shut down a bunch of users in Vietnam by behest of the government, they migrated there.

Content is both boosted and censored by individual users, not by content gatekeepers that are influenced by special interests. It is on a platform that is open-sourced code and fully audit-able by anyone who wants to evaluate it for back doors or surveillance.

I mean, decentralized blockchain networks are the cure for this, right? That is why you pointed us in the direction of Aion a while back with the symbol in the ice? Not so much that we would invest in that cryptocurrency, but so we could investigate the technology behind it and see the possibilities for replacing these data-mining spying applications with ones that allow us to choose our own content and how much of our data we share with others?

[–] ACuriousHumanBeing 1 points

I wonder though, how much is Minds prone to be hurt in an EMP attack?

Better we have currency that can withstand even that.

As if, we have digital currency that can be taken and then traded in for the physical representation of it.

[–] fieldlilly 2 points

That is the thing about blockchain technology, a single EMP attack cannot wipe out the system because it is distributed across all the users.

Blockchain is not just about currency. It is about so much more.

The tokens associated with Minds, for instance only have the slightest monetary value... because that is not their function. They are mineable simply by an individual user’s interaction with the site and other users. The more popular an individual user is over the network (measurable by likes, shares and comments), the more tokens they generate, and those tokens in turn can be used to boost their content, enabling people who are actually popular to get more views over the site. Tokens are linked to and can be purchased with Etherum. Their function is to make the site run in the manner of a trustless-capital free market where each transaction is scrutinized, and content is difficult to both be censored or manipulated.

In this case it isn’t about the revenue of the site or the coin, it is about a social networking algorithm that prevents purges of users or content based upon arbitrary or changing standards of appropriate material.

[–] garbotalk 2 points

I am not on Facebook, nor have I ever been. I find the concept narcissistic. If you must be on it, at least put your settings to private so only people close to you can see it.

Of course, your private information will be sold to marketers who want to target you, biometrics given to the government and you life will be analyzed.

We connect to places like Facebook because we desperately want to reach out to one another, but were robbed of that option when the Kayeen spliced out our skunk ape DMT abilities. At least we have the Internet, for now.

China's extreme editing of what the Chinese people can and cannot see online is excessive. They want to drive the conversation, limit exposure to strong ideas that might upset the people and cause another uprising. They censure to remain in power. And corporations are now doing the very same things for the same reasons plus one more: profit.

Hitting corporations in the wallet is the ONLY way to gain their attention. Boycotting works. So does anti-trust legislation.

I look at poor Sears, swallowed up and sold for parts. Now FedEx is getting run over by Amazon. Walmart took out grocery stores and dollar stores. McDonalds is in most cities in the world. Instead of having thousands of choices, we will only have a few.

Yes, boycott. Support anti-trust legislation.

[–] emperorbma 2 points

Support anti-trust legislation.

Back in the days when I was a libertarian, the canard was that "monopolies aren't evil if you got them by being the best... see how Standard Oil wasn't really evil and breaking it up hurt the economy..."

As an ex-libertarian, I consider think propaganda like this is obvious deception from those who don't want you to consider the unlikely nature of such a monopoly arising by "fair trade"...
