More like shooting a gun into a dark room. Maybe it’s empty. Maybe you’re a murderer.

Can’t see, dont drive.

Yes, and thank you for trimming all the slurs and the half hour antisemitic rant out.

There are so many fundamental issues to solve before we have that technology.

So many. Like, every single thing required is unsolved, and many of them we can’t even see that far ahead in the tech tree from here.

If one side can unilaterally make it a war, it was already a massacre.

One of these people is objectively wrong. Sorry.

But thats also a design decision. Quarantine servers and moderation used to exist.

Engineered. Often you can’t even communicate with people; cheaper than moderation.

Still, gaming is much more impersonal than it used to be. Most things don’t even allow chat. It’s like they try to minimize human contact.

If my lover breaks my jaw in anger, thats not my fault.

Under no conditions is that my fault, and youre a terrible person if you say it is.

If an adult beats the shit out of a young child, that is, in no circumstance, the child’s fault. Youre a terrible fucking person if you say it is.

You can say its not the abusive parent’s fault and blame structural issues or whatever, and maybe thats fair sometimes, but still pretty suspicious.

This is like that. Cars are violent, they are inefficient, and they are a choice. You choose to (statistically) sacrifice innocents every time you get behind the wheel. Everything you do while driving is on you. Or possibly the civil engineers and lawmakers who created the situation. Do not blame the victim. The victim is not at fault for having been hurt, for cracking your windshield and stealing bits of safety glass with their face. Under no conditions is a victim at fault. You are at fault for hurting them.

Unless they hacked your car and remotely piloted it to kill them in some sort of elaborate suicide/frame-up, and you literally did not have control of the vehicle. In which case I’d still put some of the responsibility on you, because you put the weapon where they could get it, loaded it, and got in.

Okay, thats more like it; ‘personally fuck them up up wherever I see them’!

Now start thinking about how.

Every allegation a fascist makes is a confession. I was not being vague.

People who can’t are still gonna die. Innocent people who know this is stupid. A lot of us do not have the freedom or resources to do this.

1a the law, sane republicans

The Law Is Not A Magic Spell. It’s a set of agreements enforced by violence. All the enforcers are fanatical fascists. And the last sane republican I know of died in February 2012. He hadn’t voted for president this century. If those were still a thing; we wouldnt be in this position.

1b: the law, sane republicans

So, still not a magic spell. I’m afraid you dont know how cultists, social conformity, or sunk costs work. They’re going to have endorsed the horrible things that happen here. They can’t accept culpability for that. You know what they say;

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Or something.

The coup failed because hisbpeople were profoundly incompetent and mostly senile. You’ll notice the police and military dispatchers we suspiciously slow that day. It was just the poor rubes already on the ground there responding to this shit. The courts largely declined to ounish abuobe involved; all thd s um eho organized it got off clean, and even the worst of the nazis on the ground got milder sentences than any ive seen for juat being near someone who broke a window in 2020. What does any of this have to do with primaries? Why would they hold a primary?

Okay, but consider youre an 18 year old trans man trying to get validation for his gender, or an 18 year old trans woman trying really hard to repress and deny she’s that. Is that still a minus?

‘Endure’

Okay but when the death squads come that advice isn’t going to help much. Reads as kind of a dodge.

Again, why are you replying ic not to engage with what I’m saying? You’re just trying to insult(?) me so you don’t have to, but you could have just clicked past my reply. That shows either my previous content was correct, or you’re really profoundly lonely and are using this platform in leiu of human intimacy. No judgement if it’s that second one; shit can be pretty grim out there.

Sorry, how are trans people solipsistic? Or a cult?

You may have just saved america.

Maybe our entire society is sick in a way we can’t fix with laws? Or something?

I hope they deep fake Alex Jones and accuse the other one of being the fake.
