Your unholy flying squid team is trying to compete with the power of the Pastafarian Pirates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

Neither team is the good guys. No matter which team wins, non-evil people who don't want pressed into your chain gang--they all lose.

There are no good guys in politics. Politics exist precisely because the 'teams' involved are ALL evil, delusional, selfish, and dishonest. Call them flying squids, flying spaghetti monsters, vampires, werewolves, leviathans, behemoths, titans, giants ... all political parties are evil and have only the interests of their own power and glut at heart.

"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

And yet people like you keep saying this time, it will work.

It is actually you that is saying this. That is the very thing I was criticizing. You seem confused and contradictory.

Your team is not the good guys. There are no good guys. There are the masters and the slaves; the rulers and the ruled. And as long as you keep believing in their game and their rules it will always be so.

"People like you ....?" Are you literally illiterate? You read what I wrote, then accused me of saying exactly the opposite of what I wrote. Read my post again. Realize that you are completely delusional and caught up in the usual election cycle hysteria. I've witnessed this same shitshow for nearly half a century. Nothing ever changes, except the rubes and con men want to keep the slaves invested in the fantasy that participating more fully and robustly in their slavery will liberate them. It is you who is demanding to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. You are projecting your election cycle hysteria on to me.

Just VOTE HARDER. Maybe then things will change.

@SuspiciousUser@lemmy.ml

But this time… THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!

In 90+% of elections people follow your advice and vote along party lines. And they say the same thing then, too.

So your criticism is the same shopworn logic I've heard for five decades. Nothing ever changes, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the wars continue, and you just keep thinking your can, 'vote your way out'.

VOTE HARDER! Then maybe things will change.

@Objection@lemmy.ml

Why are you voting at all? Haven't you figured out yet that elections are a circus designed to make you think you have a choice? How have billions of people been convinced that playing by rules established by 'them' is going to work to benefit justice? Who counts the votes? The very same people you might be voting against command the ones counting the vote. If the electorate is not separate from and superior to the political power, then an election is a farce no matter who votes, and no matter who wins.

All the candidates are Adolf. All the candidates are always Adolf. Adolf Senior, Adolf Junior, Adolf Lite, Fuzzy Adolf, Slimy Adolf, Orange Adolf, Busty Adolf, Regal Adolf, Caesar Adolf, Genghis Adolf, Pope Adolf, King Adolf, Queen Adolf, etc., yada, yada, yada .....

These days it seems that Godwin's Law has been heavy-dosing steroids and meth. Adolf died 70 years ago and went to seed. Now we have 100 thousand Adolfos all in cahoots.

Voting from the pool of candidates chosen, groomed, and funded by the real rulers, is literally slaves voting for the less evil of pre-approved masters.

VOTE HARDER.

"The divine right of kings was a current system too. I wonder how they overthrew it"

They didn't overthrow it. The kings and aristocrats made a bargain that they would take turns being kings and aristocrats (voting) as long as the system of property, income, and estate taxes stayed in place to bleed the poor and middle class. It is the same people's grandchildren today that are your pool of candidates. We still live under a cult that considers itself having the divine right to rule the tax serfs.

Too many fun ideas and too little time to explore them ...

I suspect you can still do PPP with a cell phone. The ones I have still have PPP dialer software in the base system. It would take some hacking, but looks possible. You could test with a NetZero dialup account.

 

Terabytes of Old Usenet Articles since 1980s Restored in 471,000 News Groups

I love treasure hunting. Sometimes Usenet feels like the dusty old thrift store of the Internet. If you have ever found a thrift store with rows of shelves chock full of books, old compact discs, and ancient cassette tapes, then you know what I mean.

Voting is a witchcraft mind-spell ritual in which the victim thinks his wish gives him power.

Difference Between Nerd and Geek

Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?

On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.

On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.

KILLDOZER - because 'Murrica'

Tread: The True Story of Marvin Heemeyer and His Killdozer

https://odysee.com/@thisworldworks:1/Tread.mp4:a

'In 2004, Marvin Heemeyer, a welder in Granby, Colorado, spent over a year building a bulldozer that he transformed into a 65-ton armored vehicle equipped with weapons and a camera. He then drove it through the town, destroying buildings and businesses in a fit of rage.'

'The documentary "Tread" tells the story of Heemeyer's life and the events that led up to his rampage. It is a fascinating and disturbing look at a man who was pushed to the brink by bureaucracy and injustice.'
