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!

As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I'd say it's at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.

I use Endeavour, btw. Nah, I don't think it'll catch one.

I'm super stoked to be on an Arch-based system, but things have been so easy I have earned no bragging rights what-so-ever with it.

With the salmon part, a bit, otherwise Hyperion. The Shrike is one of my favorite villains.

Well, thanks for being open. I feel we still didn't really address my concern, but that's alright. I see OP's post as a legit reaction to the emotions I got from there, even if they are clearly bad faith posting here.

Hey, maybe I'm just butthurt you didn't spoon feed me where I'm wrong, so no love lost.
