Stochastic terrorism is real terrorism

Oh, OK. Does that mean that we get to talk about Michael Reinoehl? About Willem van Spronsen? About Michael Steven Sandford?

No, because what you mean is that you want your side to be able to get away with anything and you want to use "stochastic terrorism" to make even existing without being a cult member a crime.

If they're already registered you may not have much of a choice in the matter.

That alone should be enough to tell you the proposed Chilean constitution is a complete dumpster fire.

One of the things I have done previously on a Discord I help moderate (yes, yes I know - and no, it's not a Discord you will have heard of) if, when accusations like this are thrown around, follow it up. If someone's just shouting "Racism!" because they got banned for being an asshat, pursue it. It's a very serious concern to raise, I need all of the information you have to get to the bottom of this matter.

It does not normally take long to get down to brass tacks; the person's asserting racism due to ideology rather than any factual basis.

Obviously the population of the US is being really quite inconsiderate holding an election without asking their owners first.

It's just a repeat of the impeachment thing.

At every stage, every single thing that can be turned against Trump will be turned against him for the high crime of being himself. Or, more accurately, as he's said, for putting himself between them and us. Everything else is just window dressing.

Fair point. I mean, there's a chance the author doesn't know - I certainly didn't - or that being accurate would mean the joke didn't work.

Yeah, I get that. What I'm saying is that even compared to my ... takes a moment to work it out ... cousin? (You'd think a guy with a Welsh family would be better at tracking the whole cousins-once-removed thing, but I'm not...) - who's Ghanaian on one side and Caribbean on the other - the baby is too dark.

OK, I do hate to be the guy who nit-picks the joke, but, well, black kids aren't particularly black when they come out. Mine weren't, and their auntie (who is all of four months older) - despite being "of colour" on both sides of her family tree, unlike my two - was also white when she was born. The kids' colour changes as they age.

No one is saying it publicly yet, but it appears Trump sold our secrets.

Presented without anything more than aggressive inference.

"Some of the boxes in Trump's office related to the work of clandestine sources"

related to the work of clandestine sources - are there any more weasel words you want to throw in there, champ?

Trump's White House issues an ominous request for a list of top U.S. spies

Worse - he did so menacingly. Because heaven forbid a US presidency under siege from a rogue intelligence apparatus makes some effort to hold the fuckers to account.

The thing is: what does the left have to roll with apart from Dark Brandon?

I mean, there's the econ...nope

Perhaps forei...nope

Maybe he's been building some great works... not really, no. I mean, technically he's turning the US national debt into a monument you could see from bloody Pluto but that's not really the same thing...

Eh, they'd turn their principles in in a heartbeat if they thought it'd give them a genuine chance at an authoritarian state.

Is just capitalism, comrade! When demand for racism exceeds supply, we will make some racism to meet that demand!

You'd think that, but look at the eugenics stuff from the last century like Novanleon referenced. There seems to be no atrocity a group mind cannot endorse.

Oh, "science" always seems to agree to condemn the madness ... two or three decades after the fact. I'm sure if our civilization survives this bad idea, they will do exactly the same.

If anything, the history of science is notable for the formation of cosy little cliques that do their best to exclude everybody else until the bleeding edge of research has progressed so far that the dominant clique is simply unable to maintain control.

Seriously, from astronomy to atomic theory, it's one large group grimly clinging on to control until the entire community is forced to concede that the academic emperor has no clothes.
