1984 as written by Dr Seuss.
- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 2 weeks ago:
I’d like to add that Wikipedia itself, while an amazing resource, can be full of propaganda. I came across a page for an international organisation against chemical warfare and went to the edit history. Sourced additions regarding complaints by scientists on the ground in Syria that their findings were being completely misrepresented to show Assad was using chemical warfare were consistently scrubbed without any reason given.
It’s funny that I was actually looking at that page randomly while considering how to code a tool that would highlight the most recent (and therefore unreviewed) edits on wiki. I got the idea from a Defcon talk on how to counter and deal with misinformation. It’s ironic that in this instance, it was the more established editors that were propagating misnformation.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah they’ll arrest at random and show the brazen cruel incompetent inconsistency of the law. (I live in a country that does this).

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

Omg, bring back mirror Kirk and get Shatner to just play himself. Like he’s not a fascist, just make him really snarky with his trademark humour.

How’s that work anyway. Fingerprinting?
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 2 months ago:
There was a 19th century political party that rose in opposition to the arrival of Irish Catholic immigrants. They had the audacity to call themselves the Native American Party. Also, known as the Know Nothings. They’re the gang that Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) leads in Gangs of New York.

Sounds like a dogwhistle. And in all honesty, I think they should be persecuted.

I love the idea but it feels a little OTT making him a former US president.

Wow, feeb is a great insult. Holding on to that one.

Is the implication here that if you don’t state it then you owe back tax on illegal gains when they catch you?

Omg, when I saw that thing as the group was going through the cave I knew they were fucked.
Image from Bezerk manga for those who don’t know. These kinds of malformed beings are essentially lower demons from the Bezerk’s Boschean version of hell. Great manga but deeply fucked up.
