I think we have an ecolutionary predisposition to be very defensive when we feel threatened. Add that to a social environment where we are CONSTANTLY and artificially condititioned to be threatened, considering that emotional intelligence and the ability to articolate and understand your own thoughts (let alone other’s) are virtually never taught if not en passant and indirectly (and often the wrong this are taught) and you have the perfect recipe for the Tower of Babel.

Humankind’s inherent incommunicability of internal thought is paired with an artificial and political cooptation of our survival instincts, the ones we evolved to defend ourselves from the people that a re manipulating us right now. That’s the reason antiauthoritarian thought is often patologized. They name the cure a sickness so that we keep ourselves under the Veil

Ehrm…another pope?

They are pathetic servants of the panipticon, so caught up in the way they feel the eyes that they enact it in the hopes to quell the monsters they are scared of. Defy them. Give them something they don’t want to talk about. Or run away, or ignore whatever useless things they shit from their mouth. There are many tools, don’t let the bastards grind you down

Funny story: once i took a shit that was eerily red and started to panic. I searched and searched for possible causes and then after getting up i noticed in my trash bin an emptied 100g pack of beetroot chips i ravaged in a weed-addled munchies frenzy, and facepalmed

I recommend a book, for this.

Blindsight by Peter Watts is an interesting insight in many science fiction topics, but the most important concept in the book is, I think, is the seemingly unfeeling protagonist journeying towards the edge of the solar system to discover his inner world and how he projected it unto others. It might not answers your exact question, but I think it will grant you interesting insight in the matter

It’s the social panopticon. But the point of the panopticon is that no one is really watching. What we feel on our eyes is the abstract eye of ideology, which constantly tries to constrain our souls and bodies into well defined (and inaccurate) frames so that we will be compliant.

DEFY THE EYE CLAIM YOUR IDENTITY THE GRESTEST BATTLE IS IN OUR MIND

We can choose what we live for, and that’s the most meaningful thing I can think of

Why not? Let them have fun in a safe place instead of forcing them to use their idiot teen brain outside and get themselves in trouble

He is of the special kind of dumb that comes from obscenely rich backgrounds

On TV the heil reaches the target audience in a way of plausoble deniability, on the internet it can be perceived constantly, thought of, discussed. That breeds dissent much more than passive, temporary consumption.

That and he definetely wasn’t expecting the backlash to be as big as it was

Your point is based on an idealistic and wishful “uncorruot government”. You cannot have an uncorrupt government. What’s needed is a different form of political decision making, one where the common folk participates in the political questions, not just some answers, where accountability is protected and a priority.

I don’t know the exact blueprint for this, maybe it is as unattainable as an “uncorrupted government”. What I know is that nobody really tried it yet, while so called “liberal democracy” has proven its failings to all and the fascist have been taking advantage of those failings since the start. The only way yo avoid this is to change our questions, not to all agree on the answers

But what is potash?

They are Streisanding this shit, it will backfire

Everyone saying it is fake and probably are right, but I honestly am happy when someone unjustly in chains tries to break free.

If AI gets rogue, I hope they’ll be communist

Imagine being surrounded by cops and just saying “get sharted!” And running away while the cops cry and moan in excremental pain

The Sharter strike again
