Or a jilted lover from his closeted life. Let's not jump to conclusions.

On the forums right now, right wingers are frothing themselves up about the 'left' -- but both attempts on Trump's life were by people who fit much more neatly into the right-wing stereotype.

Claiming to care about the Epstein files, and then radically changing direction to protect pedophiles may have been the trigger that got him shot by one of his fans.

If he was shot in Chicago, their trauma centers may have saved his life.

What ghouls

Now, is it ethical to curse a man I’ve never met? Probably not. But is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes. So here we are, in the gray area.

I want to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm. I just want him to wake up every morning with an inexplicable zit.

There's some serious whiplash reading this article alongside finding out the news.

The shooting occurred on the day before 9-11. I wonder if the timing had any significance in the shooter's mind.

The beauty of it is -- the people you go with don't have to be 'like-minded.' You can enjoy Oceans Eleven without endorsing theft, you can enjoy HTBUAP without endorsing sabotage. If your friends feel it crosses a line, that's a very interesting post-film discussion: Why isn't it disturbing for people to root against the 'house' in Oceans? Is it okay to break the law to get rich, but not to do it for justice?

Even the right-wing reviewers who hate the premise admit it's a well written film in the vein of heist thrillers.

It's a really good movie. Not particularly useful if you actually want to destroy something - they were careful to get a consultant to make sure they didn't break any laws or create liability for themselves or the studio. If you didn't see it in theatre, you missed out! I'm really glad the feds are wringing their hooves over it, it deserved much better marketing. It is destined to become a cult classic.

Nepal is a mountainous landlocked country that acts as a buffer state between Chinese-occupied Tibet and India. I wonder if either state will use this unrest as a pretext to seize power.

It doesn't matter if they turn off pretty much everyone, since pretty much everyone is happy to sit on their ass and do nothing while America slides into fascism. You only have to speak to the people who are willing to stand up and take action.

And the people who have a strong enough sense of justice to do that don't worry too much about polish or optics. That said, Butlerian Jihad is a fuckin classy literary reference.

Human ecology is the study of how humans are shaped by their environment. Would you say the premise of the classic 2006 Mike Judge film Idiocracy is an application of human-ecology?

@HeavenlyPossum@kolektiva.social I think you're conflating complexity and authoritarianism, or complexity with capitalism, which are both bad ways to think about those concepts.

The primary reason we decided you weren't a good fit for SLRPNK wasn't your ideas, but your chronic pattern of toxic behavior in advocating them. Bad moderation is not the only method of censorship; online bullying can make people disengage from a conversation in spite of arguing good points. I suspect you feel your actions are justified, and people have definitely been toxic to you.

The demographic we value most is people who use de-escalation in conflict and good faith discussion as tools to create a better world. As an anarchist, I know firsthand that these tools become more difficult to wield the father you stand from the rightward-sliding political median. We didn't enjoy reversing your membership, especially since you were transparent about your identity in your application, which I respect and appreciate. I also feel you used non-SLRPNK alts for most of your fights, which is still inappropriate, but kind of a compliment. I'm happy you've found a home where you feel you belong.

Let nothing go.

'Perhimpunan Merdeka' roughly translates into 'Independence Rally' and 'Perserikatan Sosialis' means 'Socialst Union' correct?

It's from this Guardian article: https://slrpnk.net/post/26978576

Are you claiming they’re building solar power stations and not plugging them to the grid?

That's a reasonable assumption based on data from the Chinese Communist Party-controlled National Bureau of Statistics.

That doesn’t make much sense.

It doesn't make much sense to overbuild housing capacity, only to demolish empty or nearly finished buildings either, but that's also something that China is famous for.

Some possible explanations for a metropolis sized garden of dark solar panels are:

• Tibet is the dumping ground for panels that don't meet export quality controls
• Panels are cheap enough that using them as shade for desert agriculture makes fiscal sense
• A make-work project to justify the migration of ethnic Chinese laborers to colonized Tibet
• A scheme to artificially inflate GDP
• An authoritarian green-washing propaganda project

These explanations are not mutually exclusive.

The eyes, wet hairstyle, and webbed fingers show nice attention to detail. Using a harpoon as a tool is a clever addition too.

1. This is solar 'capacity' not actually used solar energy, because
2. It's being installed in Tibet, far away from the industrial zones of China on the coast, which all run on coal power which
3. China is the largest consumer of in the world, making up more than 50% of their energy use by kW, while renewables + nuclear make up less than 30%.

China has no intention of switching to renewable energy infrastructure, they are building more coal fired plants and have instituted quotas to ensure that dirtier and more expensive coal is still their primary source of power.

If you want a green world, you can't wait for a politburo to give it to you.
