Superstitious nonsense.

The people standing in the park trying to tease out which horse is fastest from previous observations have the advantage over anyone just going with their feelings.
No, the metaphor breaks down at that point because there is no peeking over the wall, there is no listening to talk from inside the stables. We’re not even at the track. It’s all shit that is beyond observation, beyond calculation, beyond any kind of verification or validation. It is a thing no body has any good reason to act like they know anything about in a scientific capacity.

Even if you bet on the right horse
As if there were any other way to hold any kind of opinion about what could be beyond the bounds of reality as we know it, but to just bet on shit we don’t know the first thing about. It’s all just bets. Nobody knows and everyone is pretending that not only are they right but their rightness is of a superior quality than the claimed rightness of others. They’re still all just blind morons betting on horse races that are fixed by minds far closer to the truth and I control of it than they.

Absolutely no one in this thread got any of these right.
I’ll give you a hint: #1 has nothing to do with television and everything to do with who decides what gets called by what terms.

Taxes paid by everyonealexyboae things possible. What you hate isn’t taxation, it’s just other people. Well tough shit because you live in a society and without those other people you’d have nothing. Work on bettering society and stop being a hypocrite.
Good day.

Don’t drive on public roads. Don’t send your kids to school. Don’t call the fire department or police. Don’t pay your taxes.

So you do understand that they were after an actual meaningful goal and not just there to commit murder on a bunch of nobodies.

Hey do you remember the part of WWII where they landed on Omaha Beach then just sat there for the rest of the war killing wave after wave of dudes?
Yeah me neither, cuz it didn’t happen. They pressed forward. They went for the commanders. The generals. They went for Hitler. Don’t ask me stupid questions like that again.

But there is a very important distinction to be made between the people who are actually hurting people and the people who are using them, because the people who are using them won’t do anything on their own, they need their foot soldiers as you call them. Diminish their foot soldiers and you diminish their power too, it’s all one thing.
Again, hilarious. You’ve talked yourself out of correctness and into victim blaming. Congratulations, you’re no better than them for the good of all mankind. Toodles.

Yes, but a Nazi may “die” through ceasing to hold to Nazi ideals, and striving to better themselves. Many strong fighters for good causes began that fight on the wrong side. I can’t imagine how much worse the world would be if, historically, such people had been killed out of hand as you suggest would be right.
- Comment on Finally an explanation 2 weeks ago:
I find it amazing that you’re seriously advising people to fight the foot soldiers to no end instead of, you know, the handful of people in that “government” who are responsible for enabling them. The people with the wealth, influence, and technology to rig elections, make enemies and evidence disappear, controvert the law with impunity, and psychologically manipulate the masses.
But yeah fuck it, let’s just stay mad at Bubba on Facebook with a room temp IQ.

I got banned from a whole community today because I stood up for real leftist values against a violent Maoist and their revisionist propaganda. There’s too much hate and violence flying around the fediverse. I came here to find like minded people and all I find are the same assholes wearing different colored shirts.

So someone with the wealth and power to act on that knowledge can use it to fuck over mankind for more wealth and power.

I get where you’re coming from but I do feel the need to point out that you’re ascribing held values to an ideology. It’s not a person, it can’t value anything. As an ideology it is valuable to people whose values prioritize self-enablement at all costs.
- Comment on Spooooookyyyyy Scaaaaaaaarrryyyy 1 month ago:
Capitalism doesn’t value anything. It is the codification of one of several ways of life we can only understand by observing human beings whose behavior is antithetical to the survival and advancement of our species. It is an evolutionary and ideological dead end, the same as the genetic lineage of any creature born with the compulsion to commit suicide from birth. People can choose to do better so it’s not a matter of genocide to do away with it. It’s ideocide. All instances of this system of thought must be done away with, and future generations warned about the consequences of ever allowing it to regain a foothold in the noosphere.

That behavior is encouraged, and the circumstances that give rise to it cultivated, by people who subscribe to that worldview because it justifies their choices to throw the many under the bus for the desires (not needs but mere desires) of the few.
It all comes back to exploitation, and whatever it takes to sustain it.
