.....but the proletariat...
The proletariat???

... but the proletariat no longer has any power.

... no longer has any power, is:

as dead as the idea of labour as power.

Come on, read to the end of the post. Don't stop at your trigger words!

Actually I did just that, AND THEN went back and picked a convenient 19th century babble phrase. Rather astonishing that the concept of privacy could be subverted into marxist dialectic. But leave it to marxists to figure a way to blame the greedy capitalists.

The problem here is not the particular insane plunge into dialectic but the inability to recognize that the solution to issues such as this lie completely outside the bounds of politics, as it was known from the 15th - 20th centuries.

It's hell. So obviously the only available liquid would be Miller Lite.

Dang. I'm worried now.

'22'

Since a 4x4 is a vehicle with four wheels all powered, a 2 + 2 would be two wheels, PLUS another power unit that could attach or not.

One man with two feet pushing a dead motorcycle.

ALSO it implies -

People, kangaroos and Tyrannosaurus Rex.



I like this because now 2 bitcoins + 2 bitcoins equals 22 bitcoins. This is double proved using the language of an extinct tribe which had words for "1, 2, 3 and many." 2 + 2 is MANY.


Of the various theories and assertions the one favoring The Bitcoin will be chosen as the new facts. 2+2 bitcoins = 22 bitcoins.

But wait a minute.

I can count to two: Left hand and right hand is two.

And I can do it again: Left foot and right foot is two.

Two + two = 1 person.

So 2+2=1.

Hmm...

Dog meat festival is a part of china's culture ( if im not mistaken ). People from outside china view it as something that is wrong and immoral, considering that dogs are living beings that are meant to be cared and loved. Dogs dont deserve to be treated this way that's why this festival is criticized by animal welfare and animal rights, though i dont see people complaining about pigs and cows being slaughtered and eaten.

This is just sickening, how can people eat such a meat and make a festival about it? But then again China doesn't really care what the rest of the world thinks and just do their own stuff. If such a festival would be held in my country I am pretty sure there would come a lot of people and tell you otherwise. There would be no guarantee on the security of particanpts. I understand that there are cultural differences between different countries, but dogs are such good hearted beings. If trained well they would do anything for their owners. Dog meat should be banned anywhere.
I'm pretty certain the dogs would love dog meat...

Part of my being a very dull, uninteresting person (at gambling) is a complete disinterest in responding to emotional challenges or appeals to greed. Really, really dull am I.

But please consider one thing before you rant further. I mentioned I've seen demonstrations of these voting machines being hacked by "white-hat" hackers in just a few minutes. If Trump's attorneys bring one in and demo that to the SCOTUS, your favorite gangster and his goose are cooked. They are DONE.

democrats in the us now pretend to be socialists, as if BLM will ever get fed up with their greed, and the crime and reverse racism ever will end.

how are these people being taken serious in the american political process, don't they understand on of the basic fundamental about humans?

that human greed for money and power is unlimited? there will never be an end to the rightwing extremism of the left's supporters, the left has to be realisied as the right wing extremist party that they are.

and may the left burn in hell

Yeah, ok unlike the impotus, I concede, you win our exchange dude. Happy?
I'm actively lying and making things up. Got it.
 newsflash... your buddy lost. Deal with it.     https://donaldjtrump2024.com/

No, I'm not betting.   Surprise...I  don't have a million.

Maybe he wants 8 more years instead of 4, ever thought about this possibility?  Grin

This is a SCOTUS case now, nothing is over for 2020/Trump yet.

No problem, we just change a year to have 24 months.

FEAR THE KRAKEN!!!

...
No, I'm not betting.   Surprise...I  don't have a million.

That's what I'd advise.

(A) Never, ever bet when you are emotionally involved.

(B) Examine extremely carefully when the odds look suspicious.

(C) Re examine when the odds are skewed by international bets on US politics.

(D) Take care of the downside, and the upside will take care of itself (Art of the Deal, by your favorite POTUS)

(E) Draw a flowchart of all future contingencies and devise exact wording for the bet that optimizes winnings or eliminates loss completely

You can post this kind of disinformation and outright lying all you want, some people may fall for it. Particularly when their candidates got the advantage of the hacks.



Still salty eh?
Come on bud,  give it a rest.
You and I and everyone else (with an IQ above 90) know what's happening on 1/20/2021.

Then go make an easy, safe $100,000 while risking $1,000,000.

What is wrong here? Your words, mine and bookmakers odds show dissonance. Who is right?

I for 100% certainty do not know what is happening on 1/20, because there is a SCOTUS case between our current position and that date which will determine what's happening on 1/20. Therefore, I suspect you are just making things up or actively lying.

Regardless, be my guest and make the easy $100k.

Moderation hat on:  Much though I appreciate this discussion in itself, I respectfully request that the thread remain on topic.

There are already numerous threads (including some of my own) for discussing the politics of the American Federal government.  That is a top-down approach, and very specific to the United States.

The question hereby is:  What bottom-up, grassroots social norms are needed so that people demand privacy?

What can we do to make respect for privacy into “the new normal”?  —Starting at home, and in local communities, and otherwise in everyday interactions?


A good start may be to question why people continue to expose their social graphs and private communications a service whose founder is reported to have said, “They ‘trust’ me.  Dumb fucks.”

—And thereupon to ask:  What acculturation, leadership, and peer pressure could push the herd-mentality masses to do otherwise?

Why didn't you ask sooner?

The simple answer is positive reinforcement for the desired norms, instead of the opposite that we have now: an environment similar to Thursday night, amateur night at the strip club, where everyone bares all for a few claps.

Privacy has a dimensionality; but it must exist. It does not exist in an individual, but between and among them.

Trump erupted out of a space egg in the outer reaches of the solar system, and was carried back to Earth by an unwitting Sigourney Weaver, there to wreak untold destruction.


I pick that any time over hatching Joe & Hoe, playing Hatcheress of High Octane Boredom. So bored, you'll find yourself reading the US Democratic platform. Giving up on that, just starry eyed watch the Earth turn, then call it a day.

With The Trump, whisper things about Evil Social Media, and they are hamburgers on a grill. Done. You might DIRECT that wrath of untold destruction.

Joe & Hoe'd sleep right through your pitch, then Joe wakes up for a few minutes to start a war.

Libtards are scared of Trumpingness for good reason.

So you really didn't see that coming? And now want to bitch about it? You were posting here anti-Trump propaganda, you wanted Biden, now live with it and its consequences. Meaning, from my point of view, you were and you are totally anti-privacy by your actions. Doesn't matter what you say, does it?

I was wrong. It's more of a Morton's Fork. 'Choose nothing' isn't an option.

Yes, there is no surprise that Biden cozies up to big tech. He's hardly an outsider. I never said Biden was perfect, but still, he's vastly preferable to Trump. Trump isn't a way out, he's not anti-establishment, that's just how he positions himself. Trump pits one side against the other in order to benefit personally. The Trump endgame is not a revolution, it's chaos within the system. If there is a key to unlock the door, then Trump doesn't have it. He's only pro-privacy in the context of his own tax returns. If we have to live in a box, I'd rather the box is not on fire, that's all. If there's a way out of the box, let's look for it... but it's not here.

Thank you.

Trump has warned about the dangers of unrestrained social media and abuse of Section 230. Aside from Rand Paul, I can't think of other American politicians that have these issues on their radar.

You're not going to get a better, wiser, saner, free-er China by worrying about and criticizing their use of dogs.

You might get it by carefully criticizing certain aspects of the human rights and freedom issues.

But the extent of prejudice against Westerners in China runs deep. More likely the generations that knew what Mao was will just die off, then the younger generations will see things very differently. Mostly.


I hope they eventually get time to read the gospel.If everyone lived as best they could by it I think humankind would be healed.

Well, today the remotest village is wired into the Internet, and although there are attempts to reshape in in China and other totalitarian regimes, I doubt they could ever succeed in banishing a book from being available to any one who sought it. That's at least one improvement over the past, when information was limited to paper.

i will lay you 10:1 on Biden winning all of Georgias 16 electoral votes.

i will bet up to your .2BTC for my 2BTC
escrow required

I have to tell you I'm likely the most absolute boring guy to try to bet with. I would just get the mechanics done then mark a future calendar date to check back. Virtually no interest in eagerly watching the latest antics and spouting my opinion of the outcomes. I'm a spectator of events, not an influencer.

Also I really don't care to take a small fortune from people who are not thinking straight because they have TDS.

Regardless, 10:1 is the vicinity of bets in the market.
