1262  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Truth backed by violence VS Lies backed by violence, who wins? on: November 12, 2014, 10:08:26 AM
Violence should only be employed as a last resort, basically after all other attempts of non-violent communication have been exhausted. Typically, those acting under the "truth" do not need to resort to violence, except as a reaction to prior violence (aka aggression).

Violence is merely a tool, and like most tools, it should be used properly.

I agree that it's a tool better kept unused. However you forget those 2 doctrines of engagement. I predictive & II preemptive. I don't have to wait for you to exercise violence to stop you from harming me, otherwise it would be too late. It's called alternatively: better safe than sorry or shoot first discuss later.

Truth always prevails. Always.


Of course because truth only get closer to reality, when lies always move to unreality or fiction.

The truth never sells.

But the mob loves to see "blood and guts".

The truth always sell since it's the closest match to reality available. Those wanting to be in denial will bear the consequences of their choices, since reality is inescapable.

There is no such thing as truth which means there is no lie either. The powerful dictates what 'truth' is. 
To answer your question, 'they' both 'lose'.
It should also be noted that, if there is no way to differentiate between the 2 sides, it means that it's one entity fighting itself  Cheesy

you are in absolute denial. Truth = best useful narrative of reality. If I tell you there is the shade of a tree behind this rock... How could untruth be told? Reality is a surface, like a mirror, only an inspiration can match all of its asperities, living it rather than seeing it. Once that is achieved sides become like un ending reflections of the same lies with no emprise on reality since it can't be conquered but lived in a singular harmony whose sole complexity can match reality. And there you breath.

Now we're pretty much building an entirely new economy that is separate from the state and the church, running entirely on mathematics so hopefully history won't end up repeating itself at least as far as any of us cryptocurrency users are concerned.

Are mathematics in line with reality? there is one apple and a pineapple. How many fruits there are? The answer is when? Now? 2.

Violence backed by violence wins. Truth or false are just excuses.

Violence is self backed. However truth is the closest thing available to reality and lies are the farthest. There is no way to "excuse" reality. it is.

Any time that violence is used, the message behind it is somewhat distorted and as a result violence is generally not going to be the best way to spread your message.

Using violence to spread your message is very similar to "ruling with fear"

I didn't said used, I said backed.


When a saw cuts into the heart of a tree, trust me, it is quite violent.

We really need to differentiate between "violence" and "aggression" in these simple political discussions.


That's why it's better to use dead wood, and all trees die, you just have to be patient.

How would you differentiate between "violence" and "aggression", I prefer to think in the term of anything that may risk to cause a damage.

lol aggression is the same, I guess if you want to be that specific I'm against all forms of violence towards sentient beings capable of free and intelligent thought.

Why not extended it to all living beings? Against trees being among the livings?

Clearly lies backed by violence, aka government, has won.

I like the words of jet lee, rephrased in bring ty enemy closer to thy, so that thou may win over him, and ultimately from your worst enemy to your best friend, if he can overcome his lies... I agree it may seems to an untrained eye as a temporary weak position, but it's wanted, a trained eye will say that the edge is just being deployed. Slow motion battle. One leaf a time, the grass conquered the Earth. It's impossible to win against reality. it is or it isn't. it's dual. y or n. 1 or 0.

They haven't won, they just control a building and a few countries, all that is meaningless in the long run when you are vying for an entire planet.

you can't control reality. but you can leave in truth.

for funds from the tax payments on target I think everyone would be happy to pay the tax, such tax funds were used to build schools, roads, bridges, hospitals, transport and others, which often occurs in practice, the tax funds are often misused for personal benefit, tax funds from large corporations often reduced to personal interests as well
as long as there is no improvement of the system of tax funds received and used then the public will be reluctant to pay taxes, the extent of transparency of tax funds used will determine how much tax revenue the state ...  Cool

I'm lovin public ledger for public spending...

This is the freedom fight of our lives and hardly anyone understands why.

You seem so passionate, I don't understand why? Could you please explain me more? A lose attempts to fight deflation in the tech industry by the cartels? I mean scam us ISP, so others methods will be found, and then you will die off, like Kodak. For me it's just an attempt by the ISP to extort more money by colluding and not wanting to invest in the infrastructure to compete in the marketplace by for example guaranteeing low latency or full continuous capacity. I don't want to block an ISP to provide a cheap absolutely QoSed (multitiers), high latency, 0 guaranteed capacity or what ever service... but I find it soo stupid to use such an ISP. I hate QoS (who the f are you to tell me that what I transmit is of low priority), then again I hate non stable band weight (what the fuck I paid for X up and down, I don't care if you can't make it continuous, what ever your excuse, bye), furthermore I think Deep packet inspection always leads to packet sniffers and stupidly increase latency, and finally I find that latency sucks, but physics is, and that only the speed of light (or what ever quantic method) shall limit my latency, and not a stupid isp or backbone provider or what ever that didn't upgrade his lines or machines and uses queuing during spikes to cheat everyone he contracted with. But more than that I prefer this vision :
"Open Internet
The idea of an open Internet is the idea that the full resources of the Internet and means to operate on it are easily accessible to all individuals and companies. This often includes ideas such as net neutrality, open standards, transparency, lack of Internet censorship, and low barriers to entry. The concept of the open Internet is sometimes expressed as an expectation of decentralized technological power, and is seen by some as closely related to open-source software."
than this:
"A "closed Internet" refers to the opposite situation, in which established corporations or governments favor certain uses. A closed Internet may have restricted access to necessary web standards, artificially degrade some services, or explicitly filter out content."

And I think that net-neutrality simply mean that each packet is born equal to all others packets, and that only FIFO shall rules in all gateway and that the wideness of the gateway is continuously provided. I understand the financial gain that could be made in killing net neutrality, but they seems in my view very short sighted. As such I don't understand those that want to kill the idea that each packet is born equal, or those that want to change the status quo on this complex subject. I like the idea of peers on the internet each equal to have depending on the bw the same right as I do, and I think Net neutrality is necessary for peer to peer. And I don't like to have to read for each thing I do or contract 300 pages or more just to know that I need to read 3000 more to have a chance to understand anything... Open Law next goal?

Because I have an old cassette tape of the music and want it in digital and don't want to bother doing it myself?

Because I have a cd that got scratched?

Because I had it downloaded in stupid Realplayer format and had to go to machines that didn't support that idiotic thing?

Want more?

Oh, wait, you want us to PAY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ITEM?

really?

Excuse me, but I kindly disagree on most of your points, if not all.

1st If you bought an analog tape and want it digital, you didn't buy the digital version. I know it's hard, but it's a fact. you are the owner of a license to an analog tape (it's more technical, but in short), you don't have access with your contract to the digital version. It's like if you bough a car, then a new model arrives and you go to the dealership and steal the new model... only there you do it digitally.

2nd I had the same situation with a dvd, I went to a shop, pay $ to the shopkeeper who put my dvd in a small scratch removal machine it did wonder. Again if your car is scratch do you go steal a new one?

3nd I am deeply sorry for this one, but I can't say it other way, if you are that stupid to something with unbelievable drm and what not on it. you deserve what you got. to take the analogy you needed a very urban cars because you have a small garage, and buy a pick up truck so big that it didn't fit your garage. Who's fault is it? Again yours, because you were unable to read or understand what you were buying.

4nd NO quite the contrary. I want nothing from you. I was just expressing my contrarian opinions. I didn't want to hurt you or shock your feeling. But if you want my opinion you could stick to open sourced music (or drm free - dmca free), and support your local artist why not with bitcoin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronage or be a thief. your life your choice, just face the consequences. However I really like to read your opinions, even if I disagree. thx for sharing.

Thank God.

This whole thing isn't surprising, but it is disgusting.

Reading this: "In addition to being charged with stealing and dispersing the 23-year old woman’s photo, another 19-year-old woman who was arrested in August for a suspected DUI came forward making similar claims against Harrington. He is also under investigation in relation to a third woman’s complaint that her phone may have been tampered with by Harrington when he arrested her...."

I can't help but think if they did all this and did it to a 19 year old, how likely is it they took underage photos too? That's a whole 'nother thing with distributing child pornography, isn't it?

the law is sinuous... what's fun is that it could happen to any girls in America... who knows who could be her daddy... Cheesy.

why is it ok for a group of people calling themselves the government to force everyone to buy their services?
if enough armed people refused to pay and told the government to go fuck itself there is nothing they could do.

Government has the gun and professional arm force to enforce the rules. Hard for civilian population to resist.
We can't do nothing unless it's a global plan, otherwise dollar supremacy is strong no matter what.

 I read global then plan... my answer is a 4 letters word + you... I mean it. Why? because if your wonderful plan fail it will be at a global scale. answer it s a no. sorry.
