Stfu you stinky paki fuck.

Hash is similar to killswitch1. Both hit some rough spots on their early Lit life. KS had some pics posted which were less than, err, manly. Hash had issues. Both of them stuck it out, kept the same profile even with that being a steeper road than just saying "fuck it" and starting from scratch. I respect that. KS is not tossing his racist bullshit. Hash is pisting with the GB regulars and playing well with others.

Is there ever an end to your comments like the one I quoted?

I like these theories. They're rel. simple and they helped me make a bit more sense out of the apparent randomness and chaos dominating the current political landscape. Making order out of chaos:


1.Manufacturing consent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent
and Indoctrination https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqMAlgAnlo

2.The shock doctrine:. http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine

3.The Panopticon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon

4.The Horseshoe theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

5.Thesis, antithesis, synthesis :https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis,_antithesis,_synthesis

The Panopticon is a cute, antiquated design that has effectively been replaced by something called "closed circuit video." All the casinos have it, as well as many small businesses. It allows as much 24/7 observation as you want, just not in real time practically speaking.

Busybody has been on iggy forever. I only do a view post to fuck with him. The racism is too much. No need to reward a bad doggy.

Honesty is always appreciated.

Thanks.

I was also wandering about Edward Snowden.

Upon his initial revelations I was just as excited as everybody else, and thought he was a hero.
But as time went by, I started to doubt the "regular guy / hero who takes down an empire" myth. I don't believe that he would have been able to do all the things that he did, on his own, plus the material that he leaked showed some partiality. I'm certain that he's a patriot, but he was rel. young and he could have been manipulated.

Naomi Wolf commented that it's in a Police State's interest to make it's subjects aware that they're under scrutiny and close surveillance. Because, just like prisoners who are observed from the central tower of the panopticon, that awareness that they are under 24 hour surveillance by an ellusive entity makes them less likely to rebel or try to break free.
The Police State thus achieves the same outcome that they would have achieved through coercive or violent means. But in a more peaceful cost-effective manner': through subtle shaping of the subjects' behavior.


Initially I thought that Naomi Wolf's theory was wacky, but it's starting to make sense.
And even if it might not apply to Edward Snowden, I'm sure that there are other situations in which it might ring true.

There continues to be a great confusion about what constitutes "surveillance" and the mere archiving of third party or public information that, while it may reference you personally, does NOT entitle you to a right of privacy with respect to that same information. The NSA telephone metadata program collected routine data that telephone companies ALWAYS collect on every single phone call you make. This information includes time and date of call, originating phone number, destination phone number and duration of the call as well as switch routing information.

NONE of this information is privileged under any Constitutional right of privacy. NONE of those calls could be recorded based on "suspicious" activity because THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE AND DISCONNECTED!! At best, suspicious calling associations could provide a basis for FUTURE surveillance which was almost always authorized by a court issued warrant when both parties were United States persons residing within U. S. territory.

The overwhelming majority of this archived information was never examined at all, and people continue to make phone calls and phone companies continue to collect the same information they have always collected, and governments have the same access to it through court order warrants, and there is not the least bit of evidence that people's behavior with respect to phone usage is in any way intimidated.

Why? Because while you theoretically might be the object of government surveillance at any time, there has to be a reasonable expectation that you are actually being observed at least sometimes in order for that belief to affect your behavior. And most of us know we aren't.

Agreed. Betty1 is still a piece of shit and there is no cure. ##### will suffer the same fate except no one will be dumb enough to divulge personal info to him.

Try this first. It's more in line with your learning curve. If you don't understand, have a middle-schooler learn ya.

The latest, as applied to the EU (Islam vs. Christianity) and probably to other political and religious movements in the States as well:

Thesis = Christianity
Antithesis = Islam
Synthesis = a new world order

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis,_antithesis,_synthesis

"The triad, also known as the dialectical method, is usually described in the following way:

The thesis is an intellectual proposition.
The antithesis is simply the negation of the thesis, a reaction to the proposition.
The synthesis solves the conflict between the thesis and antithesis by reconciling their common truths and forming a new thesis, starting the process over.

The term originated with Johann Fichte, and is often used to describe the thought of Hegel.
It forms an important part of the basis for the Marxist theory of history."

The problem with the dialectic method is that the identification of the thesis and antithesis is self defined by the analyst. Why is Islam antithetical to Christianity? To any observer outside of the Western mainstream, thy are more similar than different. Why isn't secularism the antithesis to each?

Well, I was watching this thing on youtube. And their theory was that the mess and animosity between the two religions /cultures that's happening in Europe is not just accidental or as a result of unwise policies. And that massmedia and even politicians are set on artificially pitting those two against each other, through various and subtle means.

I'm not saying that globalization doesn't have positive aspects.
But there's also a dark side to it. Globalisation should mean several communities that collaborate on a global level, while maintaining their autonomy and cultural identity.

Whereas the current tendency and their agenda is for uniformity and destruction of national and cultural identity, and one world government. The same way in which EU functioned in Europe: you had EU officials taking unilateral decisions behind closed doors, above the heads of the individual nations .

Jesus fucking Christ on a Wheat Thin.

Hegelian Dialect; the tool of the Nihilists.

We meet rationality with the most absolute bizarre irrationality and then we're all supposed to believe that the truth lies somewhere in the middle and once we have established a new thesis paradigm, we meet it with something even more insane than before and if you won't meet us halfway, we deride you, call you every name in the book and try to criminalize socially your thoughts...

Exactly.

I point that out often. In The Last Knight of Liberalism Hülsmann points out that the people of early 20th century Vienna, especially the government suffered this same conceit in creating fiat money, because the new speeds of transportation and information transmission had proven that human society had evolved. Technology does not abrogate or improve Human Action.
