It's Mother's Day here in Australia so this one goes out to all the Aussie mums out there. The rest of you should probably do something nice for your husbands today.

It's probably nothing though. I'm sure we can trust the same people who lie about everything up to and including the damn weather to tell us the truth about such emotionally charged tragedies.

And when I say "promoted" I am referring to the fact that all those high profile efforts to stamp the story out seemed to serve now other purpose that to drive it into the consciousness of the mainstream.
It's also interesting that it was around 2020 that the media suddenly seemed to get so upset about people believing that such a high profile news event was staged. 🤔

2024-05-10 13:23:18

I went down a bit of a Sandy Hook rabbit hole recently (as one does) and even though the whole "it was all fake and the grieving parents are actors" counter-natrative is retarded and utterly tasteless, the fact that something so crazy has been so heavily promoted suggests something a lot nastier is being covered up.

I was always taken with Tolkein's description of a monarch who spent his days fussing over his collection of fine ceramics and serves no other purpose but to occupy the role of sovereign and prevent other, darker forces from assuming it. I'm not sure how that would play out these days now that we have the surveillance state, but Europe seemed to be onto something in the high middle ages, during that brief period between the end of feudalism and the beginnings of humanism.

Good point - it certainly depends on some form of cartel which holds a monopoly on violence. This is why I tend toward distributism and subsidiarity economically and monarchy politically.

By the time Spacemen 3 came to record their final album, Sonic and Jason were no longer on speaking terms and refused to be in the same studio together so it's basically a Spectrum/Spiritualized split with a shared backing band. The album is better than it has any right to be though and is probably their most underrated.

Fractional reserve banking and compound interest are the twin evils of our financial system but, while you need to move away from sound money to enable such criminality, the problem is primarily one of human corruption rather than the money supply so weeding it out will sadly require something a good deal more ruthless than libertarianism.

I read them recently to my eldest and was surprised at how bad they are - the first couple had charm but as the series went on the books became more bloated and loaded with histrionics and tropes (cribbed from Star Wars) regarding good vs evil but rewritten by a moral relativist who lacks a clear conception of what such terms even mean.

It's important that we have everyone at the front line but you still need a safe harbour if the shit goes down. You have to assume that every transaction is logged and the identity of every key is known. Yes, technically the blocks will roll inexorably on but that means nothing when they can do to you what they did to Assange at a moment's notice. Too many of you are hoping to skate by because you're fundamentally not worth the bother to the security state, which is probably true. Bravo for you.
