@ZoeJardiniere @Sargon_of_Akkad @0Calamity @jewssf @ZackPolanski You’re a disgusting hypocrite

@Sargon_of_Akkad @0Calamity @jewssf @ZackPolanski

This BS clip being circulated as if @ZackPolanski is saying we should "create a society" without the far right. The full context starts here from 25'05": "It's people coming together to create new stories in symbiosis with what's happening in the world and then to vision the future. I think so often the things that are holding us back are that billions of pounds have been spent on propaganda telling us things can't be different, or that they have to be this way. All the toxicity and division are exactly how it should be, as opposed to... people are fuelling that, and are being paid to fuel that, and actually we could create something different. Before we go into complete Utopia, which I am totally there for, there are people, though, who would identify as right-wing or, indeed, even far right, and no matter what humanity or community we put them in, they are set on destroying, or pushing this toxicity. Do we think we can change their minds? Or is it case of building a society that doesn't include them." I know for some people they either cannot understand complex theories, or if they do, they will pretend they don't, and deliberately twist things to suit their own agendas. However, it is not "the right-wing and far right" Zack is talking about "not including" as we try to build a better world; it is the people - paid or otherwise - determined to spread hatred and division no matter what people try and do to include them. You can watch the whole discussion here. It's a really good one. (or ffwd 25'05") youtube.com/watch?v=PQ4Of6…

@Boopbeep384348 @ScreamnKanenite @CharlesRense @Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh You will quite literally never learn will you ?

@strong69379 @ScreamnKanenite @CharlesRense @Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh Yes you move some 0s and 1s around in a computer that administers his bank account

Just to make it clear: There will never be a time when it’s morally justifiable to pay the CEO of Tesco £10million. Ever. If you can’t grasp that you’re actually just an incredibly shitty person.

@ScreamnKanenite @CharlesRense @Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh You don’t give resource chips to a guy, there’s your first mistake

@CharlesRense @Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh OK, then mix and match it for a problem we have here. You're missing the point. Why give all them resource chips to a Guy who only needs ten resource chips? So he can stow them away? Gamble on stocks without a care? There's people that need them. He don't.

@catmomo1498286 @Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh You don’t think in general wealth accumulation mirrors IQ and effort ?

@Sargon_of_Akkad @AdamPugh they see hoarding wealth as unethical. statistically the wealthy live longer and easier lives and that's arguably unfair.

@ThompsoncreekW @ThePeoplesTom @Therealtesp @dccommonsense 🤣🤣🤣

@ThePeoplesTom @Therealtesp @dccommonsense And he is not Orban. Ideologically he is not that far off in terms of stated policy, but at least for now he stands as a committed democrat and looking to end the staggering corruption of Orban’s regime.

...and shows you what they'd like to see done here too.

@RumHtwn @ZigZagVAL @Berna7224 @FearedBuck Why would 18 be too young ? What a weird thing to say

@ZigZagVAL @Berna7224 @FearedBuck 18 is still too young for someone in their late 20s early 30s. Do they get to the kinks before or after the hook? If they show up for a 16 yr old fuck'em. but are there dudes who have a back & forth with these decoys who have declined after knowing they're 16? kind of duplicitous

Vitaly issues an apology after a p—phile sting gone wrong, where they repeatedly accused the wrong man of being a p—phile. “My team and I mistakenly portrayed Akash Singhania as a child pred*tor. This was a mistake that I deeply regret. He never intended to meet a minor and has been cleared of all wrongdoing. I apologize to Mr. Singhania, his family, his friends, and anyone else affected by this mistake. To be clear, the work we do to expose predatory behavior is of the utmost importance, but in doing so, we cannot lose sight of the truth. I have removed the video from all my accounts, and I ask that anyone who has saved it please do the same. Though I never encourage anyone to attempt to contact any person in my videos, I ask that anyone who is attempting to contact Mr. Singhaniacease at once. This was a learning experience for my team and me, and we will ensure that we remain committed to the truth, as we always have.” (via: Vitaly on Kick)

@dccommonsense @MarcusSol4 Why not make it free Dan, surely you have made enough money to basically retire ?

@MarcusSol4 Well, this app has a character limit. I've done longer versions. But they aren't free anymore I'm afraid. Here's one: dancarlin.com/product/hardco…

1. This "do you want Iran to have nukes?!" argument wonderfully obscures the much thornier larger question: This is an 80 year old weapons technology that (ostensibly) no one who doesn't already have it is allowed to. How long is that a tenable situation? Permanent inferiority?

@steveUsename @TMFScottP Howard was, and is right about Medicare btw - there is massive fraud

Why use hyperbole? Why create emotional responses to a business model that needs fixing? It should be blown up *and replaced*. This is business, not a country in the middle east Donald. Would you say that about CSL? As a shareholder of CSL. I have faith the management team will fix things. Same with WTC. I certainly don't think they should blow up CSL and I hope they really do not. They said the same thing about Medicare. Reactive Emotional Doctors even went on Strike. Poor little emotional Petals. Medicare saved GP's. In the 70's bankruptcy amongst GP's was pretty high . #auspol #asuecon #ausbiz

'Is it too late' to fix the NDIS is the wrong question. It's not a question of 'timing'. It's a question of 'structure'. The NDIS, as a three-cornered market, is irrevocably broken. It should be blown up *and replaced* so people get care and support they need, economically.

@TMFScottP @SamuelPMacD I think what the Japanese did was disgusting personally, that doesn’t change the fact that the war crimes trials at the end of WW2 were ludicrously one sided, bordering on corrupt

@strong69379 @SamuelPMacD No, I think examples are useful.

The US has fallen a long way when it threatens to target civilian infrastructure.

@TMFScottP @SamuelPMacD There are no ‘rules’ unless by rules you mean arbitrary applications of moral frameworks that the strong and powerful make when they conquer a people ? Look at the Turks in Anatolia or the Mongols in Central Asia and a China. They had ‘rules’

@strong69379 @SamuelPMacD Your argument was 'there are no rules'. I think that's wrong.

@TMFScottP @SamuelPMacD I also think you need to remove emotion and anecdote from the analysis to get moral clarity

@strong69379 @SamuelPMacD Your argument is that the Japanese should have faced no consequences for mistreating (and that's putting it lightly) our POWs?

@dccommonsense The notion of ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’ is childish Dan

Anyone who thinks a POTUS threatening to destroy a whole civilization is an ok (or even laudable) thing to do doesn't care if they're a "baddie" or not. And thats how we get blowback events like 9/11 and then wonder why. This is stupid, reckless leadership of ONE MAN.

@Scavengerx99 @stikoo @HomerPavlos Retaliation for the seizure and ethnic cleansing of Greek lands you mean ?

@stikoo @HomerPavlos Why are you crying when you see a retaliation then?

During the first months of the 1821 Greek Revolution, dozens of Greek civilians, men and women, were impaled in Constantinople as part of the general massacre carried out in retaliation. The German Johann W.A. Streit, who was working in Constantinople at the time, describes the massacre and the impalements in detail in a book he wrote in 1822: "Meanwhile, other Turks were fixing many iron spits into the ground.. There were about eighty spits. They stripped the Greeks, around 65 of them, young, old, women, and surrounded them with drawn swords, in front of the spits.. Two villains would seize a Greek man or woman, lift them high, and slam them down with force onto the sharp, pointed iron stake, so that the tip passed through the entrails and reached the chest. They impaled forty-four in this way. Thus transfixed, they writhed like beetles that children pierce with a needle for amusement. A howl of mortal agony rose to the heavens. It lasted about an hour, then faded, and their heads lolled to the side." Torture by hanging and impalement was so common during this period that the phrase became proverbial among our people: "He is a man of the rope and the stake!" The Frenchman Jean Antoine Guer, in his 1774 book "Customs and Habits of the Turks", describes impalement in the Ottoman Empire. Impalement was used as a method of exemplary execution of Greek Christian prisoners. In Patras, the Muslim Turks arrested a father and son and, after skewering them, lit a fire and forced the other prisoners to roast them like lambs. Ali Pasha was even more inventive in this regard: he slow-roasted his victims, thinning out the coals beneath them in order to prolong the torment and his own amusement, as well as that of his staff. In many cases, when he impaled Greek Christians, he forced relatives to torture and kill their own family members in order to avoid being impaled and roasted themselves. The impalement of Greeks in Patras in April 1821 is mentioned by François Pouqueville, drawing from the diary of his brother Hugues, who was present at the events: "Headless corpses, severed limbs scattered here and there... Soldiers drag women and children by the hair. In a ditch, impaled Greeks were breathing their last." The impalement of two Greeks in Patras during the same days is also reported by the Turkophile English consul Philip Green. He also states that many Ionian Greeks captured in the Battle of Lala were impaled by the Turks and Albanians, while a sack full of noses and ears was sent to the Sultan as a trophy. The newspaper "Ellinika Chronika", printed in besieged Missolonghi, reports the impalement of certain Greek civilians on 8 December 1825: "On the 8th of the same month [December]. In front of the enemy gun emplacements we saw today a priest, two women, and some men and boys impaled, whom the most savage and merciless barbarians had captured and condemned to such a cruel death, and they set them up in front of their gun emplacements as trophies of their inhumanity... In an enemy raid carried out around that time in the province of Venetiko, the Turks captured some women and children, who were brought to the enemy camp and condemned by the Arch-barbarian to such a loathsome death." The Dutch consul in Chios in 1822 describes the impalement of two Greeks during the Massacre of Chios. One of them, named Giakoumakis or Salonikios, was the vice-consul of Denmark and had openly declared his support for the revolutionaries. The Turks broke into his house, where he had raised the Danish flag, and led him along with other Greeks to the castle of Chios, where the pasha ordered him to be impaled. The impalement took place in the square of Vounaki using a church candelabrum, which emerged from his left shoulder. His agony lasted two days.

@mccarthytax101 @TMFScottP I think under any reasonable interpretation he WAS a war criminal. Not too much doubt about that.

@TMFScottP Abolished habeus corpus and was considered a war criminal in the US South. Great speaker and a great President. In spite of flaws.

Lincoln vs. Trump. It might be hard to work out which is which, but if you try, you might be able to work it out.

@jerrabomb @hazard3511 @TMFScottP That's debatable. Why didn't he let the union dissolve as per what was allowed in the original constitution ? arrogance ? greed ? power ? and fully 2% of their population died...

@hazard3511 @TMFScottP But on the other hand, he wasn't a fucking megalomaniac idiot.

@Monaghan3Paul @TMFScottP Obama was an absolutely horrible president, much worse than Trump or Biden imho.

@TMFScottP The sad thing is that the USA has never really attoned for its original sin of slavery. Within 4 years of Lincoln's death there was a 100 years of Jim Crow. Obama was followed by Trump. Both Lincoln and Obama were great orators but both were succeeded by awful people.

@AlanSig3800 @TMFScottP Even if it’s completely unaffordable ?

@TMFScottP To support our most in need and vulnerable citizens is an endeavour I support completely. The way we fund this endeavour is debatable. I believe it should be done solely by the government. Completely funded and accountable to the government.

I won't pretend to be anywhere near qualified to comment on the medical needs. But the *structure* of the NDIS is irrevocably broken. There's not much chance of reform until/unless the confront that simple reality. A three-cornered 'market' is a terrible design. Period.

@TMFScottP The NDIS is fundamentally a terrible idea. There is no way to stop the massive fraud from taking place, not to mention the 10s of billions of in immoral wealth transfers

@DarrenAdams1967 @TMFScottP @SamuelPMacD This is undeniable

@TMFScottP @SamuelPMacD Ukraine has been targeting Russian civilian infrastructure. Thoughts?
