who knows. data could be filtered through google some how, some way.
I'm not sure where everyone else is at, I know we get off-track, the board gets restless and moral decreases.
if anything - even if you do not believe - a thought experiment if you will.
everything is watched.. censored..
this reality of the internet leaks into our real world lives, and vise versa.
the time has come to a breaking point - you feel it, i feel it.
i know we do not amount to anything comparable to the ones in your armed forces and specialty groups, however we do amount to something.
that something - no matter how insignificant as our thoughts may lead us to believe - is still SOMETHING.
you see - it all started with a group of bandits, and a group of villagers. the villagers were constantly attacked, month by month, year by year. they were always on the brink of food, water, medical supplies… until one day a new group of bandits had come, this group a little bit earlier than the other average groups would come. this scared the villagers. they were already low in food, tired and their moral in the mud. literally.
one of the larger bandits, whom they assumed the leader, came and talked to the leader of the village and gave him a proposal.
he said "i will protect your village and your people, but it comes at a cost. you see i want 40% of your villages' crops, their water and their women!".. the village leader replied almost instantly "YES!, no longer we will have to fight to survive, and always be on the brinks of life or death."
And so it was… the villagers lived that way for sometime. almost a full generation had past!
but it was not all fun and games. it was more hostile, varying views and conflict.
you see, the people of the village had become so accustomed to their new lifestyle, and became prepared to give their 40% to the bandits, whom all this time had protected them - even by means of raping their women and crops, that they started to become selfish. they would steal from others. they would charge others food in return of aid - rather than just helping their village mate at the loss of only their TIME.
soon - nobody got along. all the stories they were told from the bandits about other villages.. how terrible they were. how they lived like animals getting slaughtered by the thousands, listing exactly how they did it, and why. the usual answer was quite simple.
crops.
but soon, people from other villages would show up with bizarre stories and viewpoints. sometimes the odd relic of the strangers family or friend.
the outside-villagers started to notice something.
even the double outside villagers, and triple outside villagers.
though all these villagers had their conflict and weirdness - they could atleast agree on one thing.
Time helping their village-mate was priceless, and in fact, their whole will to live! for the betterment of their village mate!
this had not occured to the village people whom were under the gun by the bandits.. they looked upon outsiders as weird. stupid. weak.
eventually all the outside, double outside and triple outside villagers had grouped together and had settled someway down from the lake. away so bandits could not find them.
they helped their new found village mates and expected nothing in return. they grew and taught each other things they had learned from their backgrounds. emotions, morals, thought and rationality, language and techniques in hunting and farming..
then it clicked for the new found villagers. the reason the old bandit run villagers were so unhappy was because they lost their connection to their fellow village mate!
they had no reason to live anymore, as they lived solely for themselves..
so the new found group of villagers, with all of their skills taught to each other, devised a plan to over throw the old villagers bandits and give them their freedom back!
why did they need them anymore? the new found villagers had already taught each other everything they needed to know in order to do so!
and so legend has it the new found villagers gave back the land of the old villagers to them, along with teaching the old villagers all of their skills.
all of this free of charge. because now everybody understood one thing. without each other, we are at any ones will. but stand together, love each other and have compassion for other, and TEACH each other.. then you will always be free.
but remember.. the other bandit groups would still come, less and less as the years went on.
but that is the lesson in this story. that once something is achieved it is not always indefinite.
and the more its worth, the more you gotta fight.

MEME YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM ANONS!
IT IS YOUR TIME, TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER AFTER THAT.
LETS DO THIS!
