  • You know the saying surrounding the learning of history and the dangers of the lack thereof?

    It’s not cynical enough.

    It’s always thinking “this time, my knowledge and lack of scruples will supersede the human condition!” with the regressive, self-deluded authoritarian mind.

    The tragedy of the “doomed to repeat it” and “doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes” aphorisms both is always going to be a function of linear time, not the wit of the self-styled Masters of the times.

    Sucks to live on human timescales during these times tho, I think every pen since antiquity agrees.



  • Nah. Notice what happened here, it will happen again. The word “purge” has been used as a euphemism for so long that it’s simple meaning isn’t the first thought anymore.

    That programming ran on the moment you read the word, before you even though about the meaning of its inclusion in the context.

    This is normal human behavior, and it is exploitable.

    You will see Fascism (and the Media reporting throughout fascist times) get really funny with words. You will see fancy small syllable words for all kinds of innocent things, mean other things.

    Always question language, it’s a tool unto itself.


  • By the way, you do have the obligation to not “see his obvious guilt”. For instance, you cannot call someone a rapist just because you feel like it. That would be slander.

    Before the beloved 2nd amendment, is the first. Courts are bound by the presumption of Innocence for the good reasons you were told already.

    But your argument falls flat right at free speech; This is still fucking America, and no one is bound to believing or saying whatever another thinks by force of the government.

    As always, the boundary is the consequences of your own actions (words) when taken by another.

    Also, that’s not how slander works you rapist of the time spent reading your drivel. Prove those damages to your reputation.
