The single most frightening think I have ever read is that Curtis Yarvin wants to take the poor, elderly, disabled, weak masses - heck, he might want everyone to end this way - and turn us all into some kind of sick biofuel. BIOFUEL! When I read that I felt like my heart stopped. There are no words to describe how sinister and absolutely…
The single most frightening think I have ever read is that Curtis Yarvin wants to take the poor, elderly, disabled, weak masses - heck, he might want everyone to end this way - and turn us all into some kind of sick biofuel. BIOFUEL! When I read that I felt like my heart stopped. There are no words to describe how sinister and absolutely disgusting and evil that is. I will fight against these tech sociopaths for as long as I’m here, even in tiny subversive ways. Example - I bought 20 banned books and because the bastards have decided you can’t donate them to schools and libraries I’ve put them in those tiny, little book boxes all over the city. F*** them. It makes me feel better if even one person reads one book.
Good for you for fighting and doing what every American needs to do: civics.
“For, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'holds office'; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve.” —John F. Kennedy
“We are the government. You and I.” —Theodore Roosevelt
"But, Jefferson worried that the people - and the argument goes back to Thucydides and Aristotle - are easily misled. He also stressed, passionately and repeatedly, that it was essential for the people to understand the risks and benefits of government, to educate themselves, and to involve themselves in the political process. Without that, he said, the wolves will take over." —Carl Sagan
"Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest." —Calvin Coolidge
"Every citizenry has the government they deserve" —Joseph de Maistre
Aristotle wanted monarchy and opposed direct democracy and republics because direct democracy and republics led to demagoguery, Big Money, and mob rule (not in the sense of ochlocracy, but in the sense of stereotypical Stupublicans and before the political realignment Dixiecrats, as well as the fanatics in the socialistic movement - like the anarchists and syndicalists, the latter including proto-fascists and the fascistic movement).
I have been fixing up beater houses my whole life. Whenever I frame in a wall and sheetrock it, I always throw in a couple of my out-of-date political books for insulation...my version of a time capsule. Of course these days book burning comes as a wildfire.

That is so cool!
Ever see "Soylent Green?"
Good for you, Denise!
Reminds me of the movie Soylent Green!
