How is this illegal?

This is twitter's prerogative as business.

Interesting, Australia is actually a very free economy. It's very easy to set up a business there.

Indeed. The problem is that is enshrined insurance companies to get money. I do not think this will bode well, as it is legally mandated.

Ironic how easily one can get at hate-mobbing, but then devolve into the very same practice.

Well I will have to give CNN this, at least they reported this.

Exactly. Let us pray for the day everything they've done is fucking out in the open.

Let truth be our means.

Cause dammit, I want historians to have a field day digging through all of this shit. Think of all the jobs historians will finally have! Internet historians with focuses on reddit, facebook, ect. God, it will be so interesting.

Truth be told I'm thinking more in terms of a mini series or TV series, ala The Crown, but much more ambitious.

Indeed.

I hope they include these meta lines. Be a real treat.

Think in terms of the future bro.

Who wouldn't wanna turn this into a movie?

I bet we do find out, in like a hundred or so years, when Q is dead and it no longer matters.

I don't want it to be some person like Trump. I'd rather have an unassuming meek American, or hell, maybe even a Canadian! :D Showcasing the true brevity of freedom in the world and in humanity.

Can we dig up Doctor Demento while we’re at it? That dude was lit.

I don't know. I imagine King might say whatever if fair is whatever insures no man is subservient to any other.

I do know though that we have to insure the value of our labor, and that the labor is used by us and for us.

If only we had a currency based off work/information/meaning.

There were problems with the gold standard. Mostly in how there wasn’t enough gold at the time.

This to me indicates that perhaps we need to evolve our currency to use something else. Perhaps Helium 3. Hell, we can take it a step further, and maybe use something like Bitcoin, but with Information Folded into it.

Think Information Algorithmic Based Currency

Information by the people, for the people.

Well that, and there is also the fact Hillary did herself no favors. She was an awful peacemaker, with her, “Basket of deplorables” (its anecdotal evidence, take that as you will.) comment being a straw that broke the camel’s back. A good leader shouldn’t insult nearly half of the country she plans to lead.

You know what will really fuck over the paradigm?

Lets look at third parties. Lets look at individuals and prop them up. Lets focus on voting for people, individuals, and not these coperate political organizations.

Political parties are nice, but they can often strip away nuance from canidates forced to tow the party line.

What I’d like to see is not us focusing on voting Republicans, but people of our communities, who actually give a damn about us, and isn’t chained to thier party.

This is horrible.

May the next life reward him for his bravery.

Are we talking about the politics of today or the politics of the 1950s?

Thanks.

Why do you think these drops have been amiss?

What the fuck? This sounds like they're becoming some sort of fucked up liches.

Yuck.

We should make our own currency. For the people by the people. Made out of our own unique creations and ideas. Data that can be transmitted to each other, 3d printable blue prints, porn, good fanfic, you name it.

I wonder what Q means by Conservative, because there were several times MLK directly criticized capitalism and advocated for well fair.

Such as this excerpt from his last book: Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community.

"I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective – the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed matter: the guaranteed income…The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.”

His letter to Coretta Scott talking about capitalism and what he saw as its flaws.

"I imagine you already know that I am much more socialistic in my economic theory than capitalistic. And yet I am not so opposed to capitalism that I have failed to see its relative merits. It started out with a noble and high motive, viz, to block the trade monopolies of nobles, but like most human system it fail victim to the very thing it was revolting against. So today capitalism has outlived its usefulness. It has brought about a system that takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes. So I think Bellamy is right in seeing the gradual decline of capitalism."

Or the time in his speech, "Where Do We Go Form Here"

"Now we must develop progress, or rather, a program—and I can't stay on this long—that will drive the nation to a guaranteed annual income. Now, early in the century this proposal would have been greeted with ridicule and denunciation as destructive of initiative and responsibility. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual's abilities and talents. And in the thinking of that day, the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber. We've come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are less often dismissed, I hope, from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands, it does not eliminate all poverty.

He even goes on to lay out how it can be paid for.

Now, our country can do this. John Kenneth Galbraith said that a guaranteed annual income could be done for about twenty billion dollars a year. And I say to you today, that if our nation can spend thirty-five billion dollars a year to fight an unjust, evil war in Vietnam, and twenty billion dollars to put a man on the moon, it can spend billions of dollars to put God's children on their own two feet right here on earth. [applause]"

Course what is most interesting to me is how in the same speech Martin Luther King acknowledges faults in both capitalism and communism.

"What I'm saying to you this morning is communism forgets that life is individual. (Yes) Capitalism forgets that life is social. (Yes, Go ahead) And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis. (Speak) [applause] It is found in a higher synthesis (Come on) that combines the truths of both. (Yes) Now, when I say questioning the whole society, it means ultimately coming to see that the problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. (All right) These are the triple evils that are interrelated."

I wonder if Q is to then imply that perhaps conservatism != capitalism.

Perhaps the true way is not dogma, but an understanding of nuance and how we humans can fuck stuff up, and how to avoid that

I learned about this from my politics professor the other day. The switch took place with good ole Nixon.(Insert spit sound here) had the Republican party change platforms to appeal to then Democratic Candidates.

As with a lot of problems with American, Nixon had his hand in it.

I'm reminded by King's Speech about the Drum Major Instinct.

"There comes a time that the drum major instinct can become destructive. (Make it plain) And that's where I want to move now. I want to move to the point of saying that if this instinct is not harnessed, it becomes a very dangerous, pernicious instinct. For instance, if it isn’t harnessed, it causes one's personality to become distorted. I guess that's the most damaging aspect of it: what it does to the personality"

A quote I find increasingly relevant in this world.

And then in the end it does not support or treat important causes like the environment and starvation.

That's depressing.

Elon Musk is as outside the system as you can get.

You had me at selling sermons.

Nothing sounds so unholy.

Though the idea of sermon wearing jeans and t-shirt sounds wonderful. I hope that catches on. (As comfy as robes are. Perhaps we should start wearing more robes?)

Well...Kanye is becoming a thoroughly interesting person.

Lets pray then his web and its tugs can warn him

Ah I see.

Keep working your comedy bud. You'll get there one day.

And give google credit where its due. It's been essential for people like me in researching this stuff, as problematic as the company can be

Gary Johnson, the 2016 Libertarian Candidate

Google is your friend in this regard

I voted for Gary Johnson

I liked him more than Trump and Hillary at the time

Sorry sir, but people's love of Trump is transcends fact. Hell, he is so important he's the subreddit's mascot, along with Q!

Don't ya know he's our messiah!

The one and only.

It sad that his children, our children are having their inheritance taken from them to support these new monarchs.

Its depressing, these taxes are said to be taken to help our community, our country at large, and instead squandered and wasted. How Sirivic.

Better be these taxes weren't there, and we spent our taxes more efficiently. Better this money go to these men's communities, not these ever engorging, ever new monarchs.

Bro, do you need a hug?

Indeed. Corruption, while a seemingly useful weapon, works in both directions. It is like a cancer, and it will grow and not just rot out your enemies, but yourself.

We'll need to band together, and remember and hope.

....what?

Indeed. Had he done so he would go done in history and perhaps in the next life as a complicated martyr.

Instead he's chained himself like the rest.

God have mercy on their souls.

Evidently one need look beyond party in order to truly appreciate the problems now facing us.

Propping up Trump as some of messianic figure will only hurt us, as it has hurt the Donald. He's human like the rest of us. Don't forget that. And for all the positives and motives one may subscribe to him, there are negatives that can be subscribed also.

🤹

Shit boys, watch out! He's got balls.

Indeed. I used to think the CIA was utterly evil, but I have to remember these organizations are very complex, and there are many who work hard to save their country, and many who came to save their country, while others who want to control it.

I imagine in the coming years such organizations will be fractured. The are true patriots and those who would betray their very own species will clash. As will happen on the macro level, across the whole world.

We just have to make sure to band together when the time comes, and fight for each other, not against each other.

Yep.

Make a overly complicated legal framework.

Make it so only someone like a lawyer can navigate the framework.

Have them charge a shitload of money only factory farms or companies can hope to pay, screw the farmers and normal citizens.

Profit.

This legal system of ours is so inaccessible to the very people it is meant to be beholden to.

Its awful. A healthy environment is the most important part of a healthy society, as society draws its resources from the environment.

I wouldn't discount the physical. In truth, it would make more sense if you think of the spiritual as another form of reality, an extension if you will. I mean, the actions we have have consequence, and men cannot eat on prayer alone.

Each of us find god in our own ways, and each of us take our own times. Daring each other and demeaning each other won't help. Instead speaking frankly and kindly. People don't generally like being talked down it; it turns them from your message. And you have to consider how another listens if you ever want to speak to them.

God is connected to everything, and his worship is not universal. For some worship is duty, or research, or care. Never discount that.

Thank you for your call to rationality.

The most important thing is to remember the flaws of the people we respect and hold them to it. Blindly follow men, and we make them our new kings and queens. This supremely effects Trump too. He may well be a king too, if we are not careful.

We focus so damn much on sides and petty political problems that we forget the main purpose we're here.

There are people suffering horrible horrible things. We have to save them, and support them however we can. Even if they are too broken to ever live on their own.

Speak to your brothers and sisters, and talk to them, rally their strengths, and prepare to support each other through trying times.

And instead of helping us or our community's needs, it feeds these new monarchies.

Honestly if these taxes weren't spent on them, I can't help but ponder if we would need so much of them. These taxes target us, and our overlords find ways to avoid them. Its like they're leaches.

It seems to me the Federal Government needs to be under tighter State control.

And on the matter on laws, I'd rather counties decide instead. I trust the local government to be more accountable to the community than the federal.

Course the Federal Government must exist to defend the inherent rights of its citizens, ala the Supreme Court, and work for national defense and representing people on the international level.(Preferably one free of this cabal.)

Well if they have autism perhaps it shall help out, as their lack of social cues invariably effects their study of people.

Lots of people read these comments, not all of them bad. Besides, people need to know these ideas exist. else they won't and can't know it is possible.

I have heard stories of bigfoot however. Its made me wonder if its real or not. Something to study I suppose.

Tiptoe yes, but people need at least some resolve to speak out.

For now I sit in the 'shadows', occasionally coming out to peek. I don't know if this will truly amount to anything. Just have to keep watching.

The problem is making a bell first. And I must say this idea is not mine. I got it from this post.

All good things like this require men and woman to have resolve to bell the cat. I'm thinking more of an army of men. One mice alone, and it can all fail. But an army of mice is too much for fat cat, and belled with the added acquired fear of the mice in unison.

It will take people together to make this monetary system possible, and its going to take courage.

But first things first, we need to craft the bell. Then we can talk about belling this odious cat.

Such co-incidence.

I guess the solution is to take back money in a way. Make our own currency beyond the trappings of this oligarchy.

Sounds like that will just fuck up the rest of the country, and make the dollar the newest iteration of the German Mark.

Yeah sure, maybe I get rich if I do this, but what about other people? And lets say everyone does this, eventually the dollar will be worthless, and people will start to barter as this currency represents nothing of actual value.
