  • You say you get it, but nothing you said after the “but” corroborated the claim.

    Was not playing devil’s advocate [nor non-playing advocating]. Was not defending. Was satirically pointing out the folly of becoming them; the folly of opposaming; the folly of arrogantly presuming what to impose in ignorant lack of introspection unto hypocrisy; the folly of fear driven reactions that drive a social tragedy of the commons blind race to the bottom into kakistarchy. Can’t defeat Nazism from here. Can create it.

    The principle espoused seems sound though. Same as how to deal with any/all totalitarians. That being to keep speaking out and stopping their madness, or it gets worse and worse, where any and all atrocities are seen as necessary virtues. I’m not sure how sending them to echo chambers to go on festering ever worse, unchallenged, serves this necessary avenue of remedy.

    Better the monster you can see. Better the Daryl Davis approach, proven to convert people out of monstrosity, than to try to out-monster the monsters. Not having a bigger hammer was not the problem with the hammer being the only tool in the toolbox.


  • Man, its one thing to be arguing for slippery slope (which is literally a logical fallacy, meaning it shouldn’t be used in an argument),

    A slippery slope fallacy is a fallacy, but there are still slippery slopes that are not fallacious.

    stonetoss either promotes, or genuinely believes a number of neo-nazi views. To me, thats enough that I dont think his comics should be cross posted here.

    How might they be exposed to ideas to challenge their ideas and broaden their perspective? While exposure here may not offer a direct line, and may seem like more advantage to the spread of their ideas than them being exposed to ideas that challenge their ideas, it may at least expose more people to see their ideas, and, presumably, be of sound mind enough to not only not succumb to them, but perhaps go forth to offer counter-arguments and refutations and exposing fallacies and harms of their ideas.





  • Could make more of these helpful public service announcements all day long…

    The US Office of Educational Technology may have free computers for you. Research “Project Blue Beam”.

    The US National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect have a money back scheme you’re likely eligible for. Research “Operation Lockstep”.

    Did you know the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development now offer free housing and renovations. Research “Project Monarch”.











  • it started as just calum’s story, then grew to a dozen more stories, then grew to 60, before they had to stop.

    it kept happening to more and more people as the decade progressed.

    Abused by the assessment process, cut off like an injust witch hunt, that if you lived, you didn’t need the support they cut off, and if you died, you needed the support, but don’t any more, and so it’s win-win to them in their totalitarian lust to meet quotas of culling the hated. Denied access to necessities to survive, cut off by those with a duty of care for you, intentionally. No money for heating, for food, for medicines & therapies, for anything. Perishing by starving, freezing, succumbing to ailments. Or even just from the PTSD & CPTSD & stress brought on from the mistreatment from the system there to provide for your welfare.

    Read those 60 stories. Scale that up to >130,000, and see that >130,000’s not just a number.

    Even to read just one… To get some idea what’s been happening.

    Remembering sept 10th, 2001, hearing about 2.3 trillion missing…

    … doubting Trump’s an architect, nor even operator, nor even agent, and continuing to presume merely asset.

    Even a flat robin-hood style redistribution of all billionaire wealth gets us each a few grand, utterly dwarfed by how much richer we each and all are with the emancipatory technologies no longer being suppressed and inventors no longer being “disappeared”.

    Keep reminding the billionaires even they are better off with prolific provisioning of emancipatory technologies… no longer having to watch their back.

    Do you have spaceships yet? And the reassurance that no one is trying to take yours?

    Spaceships for everybody.

    No cull necessary. Nor any billionaire ploys to pit us against each other. Nor any perpetuation of slavery and oppression via manufactured scarcity, nor the lethal mayhem pantomime of resource wars.

    Remember a third of a year before that (^ sept 10th 2001), the disclosure project conference at the press club? And the free energy conferences around the same time. … Before they initiated the cascade of contingency plans for mass distraction to allow the continuation of the PNAC’s hegemonic jingoistic global domination plans (and the plans within that, and within which the PNAC sits) [the fake [but still lethal] terrorist thing, pandemic thing, [burgeoning] nuclear war, [upcoming] alien invasion, with side dishes of climage disaster [weather warfare weapons] throughout and economic/energy collapses peppered around]. We were headed for skipping ahead to the star trek future, and better. We still could sublimate to that. As I recall from those free energy conferences, there had already been over 3000 free energy device patents secreted by the year 2000 according to patent office whistleblower Tom Valone.

    We have so much headroom, without the crooks keeping us down.

    Imagine if we obsoleted the billionaire producing paradigm, reminded all would be billionaires that even they are richer in ending manufactured scarcity and embracing abundance.

    No more billionaires, nor their puppets of hate.

    Keep on dreaming while learning to learn, y’all. :)

    … or so I aspire manifest.

    … so much headroom…
