The left is in a spiral, where they are pushing the worst shit possible only to stop us from "doing it first".

I still am working through how my friend told me, that government had to lie during covid to make stupid people get the poke.

When I told him, that ai am smart (I know he respects me in that regard), and the only reason I didn't get the poke was, because I saw them lying, his response was, that they clearly didn't lie enough then.

And he doesn't see how that's an issue. They just cannot see the line between creating the tool, and it being used for bad, since it's already in place.

@LukeAlmighty @djsumdog this weeks choice is between trump "I want house prices to go up" vs Islamic communism
Now I dont have any love for Islamic cave commies, maybe they shouldve been left in the middle east and then just bomb the water treatment plants of all them at once, but land ponzi schemes is how rome fell, its not exactly tolerable either.

You obviously don't consider freedom a virtue to behin with.

@LukeAlmighty Freedom to what? Be hedonistic animals? No. Freedom to have a family and contribute the society? Yes. The vast majority of people don't even want freedom, not really. They want to be told what to do because that is their genetic caste. Obviously there are some people who can handle more freedom and there will be cutouts for them, we can be nuanced.

> Freedom to what? Be hedonistic animals?

What a sad existence you have to have lived for this to be your asociation to freedom.

I want freedom to live a good life. And I know from experience, that institutions never allow for that one. Your assurance that I will keep that one freedom is laughable at best, and actually reads as a major demonstration of apathy.
