@commie_trucker If you have to ask this, it is a clear broadcast to millions that you are nearly utterly ignorant of enormous chunks of (relatively recent) history.

This happened, and keeps happening, because Leftism isn't the antithesis of Libertarianism. It is the fulfillment of Libertarian principles once they're applied to the real world long enough. Libertarianism paves the way for a Progressive takeover in the same way a setting sun paves the way for nightfall. We look around and see all the reds and yellows emanating from the setting sun and think to ourselves, "How could all this light have any relationship to darkness?" But nighttime requires twilight for it to exist in the first place. The latter cannot come to fruition before the former has served its purpose. Now, with the analogies out of the way, here's how this actually plays out in reality. Libertarianism contains no real defense mechanism against Progressive hijacking because its entire worldview is built on refusing to engage with substantive political questions in the first place. It does not want to answer what a society is for, what kind of people or norms it should protect, what moral worldview it should uphold, or who its enemies are. It wants these questions to be left to each individual. But no institution can survive on that basis forever. They're by definition a collective endeavor. Every organizational structure, from Reddit and Wikipedia to the Cato Institute and the Federal government itself, has to eventually has to decide what it exists to protect and what it is willing to fight against. Progressives are willing to answer those questions in a way that Libertarians are not. So the Libertarian opens the gates (either to its own organizations or to the state if they're ever able to influence policy strong enough, as they occasionally do) in the name of individual freedom, and the Progressive inevitably just walks right through the open door, hijacks everything without a shot being fired, and then converts it into a project to promote THEIR vision for society, THEIR social norms, THEIR conception of the good, THEIR moral worldview, and THEIR friends against THEIR enemies.

@ReviewsPossum The second paragraph is not necessarily true (it’s difficult to judge the goals of a species once it reaches Type II; the knowledge base may be such that predicting what it may find the need to do and the reasons why may be close to impossible for us)

That depends on what you consider to be a spacefaring civilization. By the loosest definition, we already are, but I suspect most people would consider colonizing Mars (and thus becoming an interplanetary civilization) to be the bare minimum to qualify as "spacefaring". That will probably happen within the next hundred years, assuming a civilization-ending disaster doesn't happen before then. Even when that happens, it will likely be centuries before a Martian colony can survive independent from Earth's resources unless there's some major technological leap we can't foresee between now and then. We will probably never become interstellar simply because there will cease to be a practical need to expand outside the Solar system once we reach Kardashev Type II status and harness the full energy output of the Sun. There's no need to go on an expensive and risky centuries-long voyage to colonize extrasolar planets when you can support quadrillions of people in a Dyson swarm of artificial space habitats for potentially billions of years.

Data…
JohnnyFSE@JohnnyFSE

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities. You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free. I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded. It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇 Numbers don't lie, but criminals do. courtwatch.us @bennyjohnson @jockowillink @GrantCardone @LauraLoomer @nickshirleyy @j_fishback

@CaptainDznuts No, keep your fuckin dog from running after passers-by (however you have to do it). Go watch the fuckin videos of people being called by pitbulls. Then you won’t be surprised when people freak the fuck out when a canine is SPRINTING toward them. Grow the fuck up.

@IterIntellectus Yep. Firing squad. Since having become a dad, this shit has totally and UTTERLY radicalized me. When I imagine that it could potentially have been my 3 year old son….. oh buddy: something primal and terrible rears its head.
