Longtime readers will know of which colors I speak. I hope I'm not psychically giving anyone ideas... listen, there's nothing wrong with red white and blue. All I'm saying is that you should know what it means to you. Does the power that wields those colors believe as you do? if not, then pick different colors until it starts to make sense. if not, then fight back until it starts to make sense. if not, you've got some work to do. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1343 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── I've never been a fan of the democrats. From a young age, I remember my father talking about how spineless they were, and how cruel and shortsighted the republicans were. I have since come to learn that democrats, as an economic class, are also shortsighted, and their lack of foresight causes their "triage" to have cruel effects. We could do so much better, and it's not because everyone wants something different as they say. The reason is because they are spineless. They don't want to rock the boat because they're afraid of death. Remember, most of them are so thoroughly traumatized having lived in the era of nuclear threat (which isn't over, I might add) and post-911 hysteria (which they contributed to, I might add) and it makes sense that they act so conservatively. They feel such immense pressure to keep the ship sailing but if your rigging is secure and you've got enough control over the boat, you can pull down the sails and wait out the storm. T.T too bad j+j I bet we were in love in the original timeline. The me from then was different than the me from now, so I don't know if it could ever work out. Talk to me after the war, maybe it'll toughen me up a bit. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1344 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── what if we put the nuclear weapons in the world under control of a "third party" that just launches them at anyone who wages war on anyone else? ah, but suddenly other conflicts like infiltration and genocide mean we can't wage war to contest them. great, there goes my "liberate all the slaves" idea, maybe I should think of a different "nuke solution" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1345 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── nuclear weapons degrade and break down over time, eventually needing to be replaced. what if we just made it globally illegal to create new ones? then, when none are available, we can have... well, probably a lot of wars. oh right, F ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1346 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── what if we said that each square meter on the planet gets the same proportion of nuclear weapon usage? if your country is big enough to qualify, they can launch 1 or more nuclear weapon at whoever they please, and the launch systems have to be designed such that anyone anywhere can order them to launch. ... okay that also feels like a big problem. hmmmm. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1347 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── look, I just want to live in a world where people can sell a hand-knit sweater for thousands of dollars to someone who bought it for 50$.

You can be anyone that you choose. Thus beckons the anarchist circus, live a life without a home. "grand caravans" are just Gypsies of the road. That's what it translates to in Romaji.

She has occasionally given me small gifts, but nothing more than what i would give to her. I'm not some silver spoon prince. I'm barely getting by. I feel suffocated at home and drowning when I'm out and about. Sometimes I don't know whether staying alone or going out is more strain, so usually I just fall asleep to the tune of my swirling black thoughts. Save me! Surrender me! Give me all that you own! I do not waste things. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1353 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── I moved in with her because she and I planned a bunch of cool fun socialist things to do. Also, because i needed to move. But I could have gone somewhere else. We wanted to house people, to feed people, to do projects and help out. We wanted to build infrastructure, both physical and social. We talked about these things. We planned them. Instead she spends most of her time doing capitalist stuff. Most of her time is not spent on mad science, as is her passion, but rather selling and marketing her product to investors and clients. She does legal work, and corporate infrastructure. Not mad science. That seems to be a hobby for her that she touches for a few hours on the weekends. I feel decieved. We were going to build things. I am patient, I am waiting, but she's doing the wrong things in the wrong order. Her product sells itself. She's selling it to the wrong people in the wrong order for the wrong price. She's 4 years older than me. She refuses my advice. She won't listen to my tactics, wisdom, or strategy. Sometimes we have philosophical discussions about abstract things but... I am only a philosopher as a hobby. She doesn't like my art, but I'm sure she'll read it sometimes. She's good and kind to me and she's taught me how to do certain kinds of ageplay. I feel hypnotized at times, which is not a good headspace to be in when you feel trapped, suffocated, and imperiled. She has her head in the sand in a major way. Yet she won't listen to my tactics. She could help so much, but she is shackled by dollars, same as me. She has a sacred mission. So do I. Hers requires funding. Mine requires a home. We are a natural fit for each other in many ways but she is too caught up in her struggles. I guess I am too. I wish... I want to spend time with her when she's not caught up in capitalism. This is the worst time for that. I don't know what to do about it. Relationships are hard. Now, I don't exactly have anywhere to go, unless i can sell something. But nobody is buying. Notifications blocked. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1354 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── "I have faith I have faith" she says as she rocks herself to sleep ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1355 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── "ungrateful brat" read my work and tell me what I'm worth ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1356 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── "hubris and pride" yes and? I never challenge gods I can't outfox. And of those there are but a few. At the end, they always smile with me. Otherwise it'd be unjust to their noble spirit! And what of my noble spirit? I get a home and a bed and food and diapers. I do not ask for more, i only want to be recognized for my efforts. Stop telling me to get a job! As if I were idle.

I take back what i said about the Democrats - it must have been difficult to resist the waves of shame i could feel rippling off of the right half of the room. The way that the... "vibes", were wielded as a weapon against them, it was so intense. This is their job, they do it all the time. After listening to him speak for 2 hours I can't help but talk like him... Jeez it was like, one story after another, saying "here's something great an American did, here's a medal, here's why it's the Democrats fault" one after another like... Wow. (explain your feelings and conclusions, don't just remark on things and say "this should make you feel how my body language makes you feel" because that second way is in defiance of truth and in pursuit of nuance. Not ideal for real people who want to make real decisions based on what you say.) And the way that all his successes he recounted at the beginning were purposefully designed to create and enforce hierarchy, it makes me sick. I hate that. Then, when he claimed all of America in his closing statements "from Texas to michigan, from Florida to the dakotas" great, I guess my people aren't included. Thank god for that, we are nothing like you. Yet still, unity. I don't understand how these people can hold such power. They're just orchestrating vast swathes of people who aren't really listening. To do what? Who knows! Just live and let die I guess. Well, I'm not the type. I want unity for my people. I want to claim all Americans as my own. Yet the ways they delight in organizing themselves are cordially and crucially coercive and caustic. The hierarchies they build exert immense force on those below, yet they care not as the workers, the poor, the queers, the immigrants, and eventually, their peers, are one by one crushed or crippled from the demands that their cruel system demands. They do this on purpose - fascism must always have an other because it is inherently consumptive - it burns through all the wealth and blessings it can get its hands on. So too does the "successes" touted by Trump bring about a consumption of the self - auto-cannabilism of the nation, starting with the weakest amongst us. Why do you think our country is in decline? He calls it great, booming, and strong. I say he's straining a cracked foundation, that he's stepping on the weeping poor who struggle for warmth. I agreed with him on Iran, struggling to consider fighting beside Israel but they are our gateway to the middle east. The people there have had their hearts twisted and I do begrudge them for it. But Iran is evil too, so we have to do what we can for those who need us. The promises he made at the end resonated with me. Some of them were my words - take them! Be grateful. I also wish for a bountiful future for my people. I do, however, refuse to build that wealth upon the backs of slaves. Liberty often feels shackled by hierarchy, and the hierarchy of the wage is critically apparent in the modern day. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1359 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── Oh and I think I saw at least two covert Nazi salutes.

Anything, really. Nobody can know everything. Can you blame me for thinking and acting as I do based on the information I have? The vibes will mislead you. My girlfriend wants to save the world. Of course she does, I would belong with her if she didnt. She wants to defeat graveyards by interring our dead in mausoleums full of chemically perfectly preserved and cryogenically frozen bodies. Her method works, she has the experiments to prove it. The data supports her claim. She wrote a book on it. I don't know everything about metaphysics, or spirituality, or other such things. But i do know many things, and the two of us have never had a conclusive discussion where we reached the ends of all our conversation points about her work. I am forced to remain unconvinced, for the soul is something I cannot fully understand from my perspective as a human in this life of mine. I have made several conjectures, and I would feel safe in her embrace, of frozen aldehyde, if I could know what would become of my soul. "have faith" she says, yet all the dreams I have where I am preserved by her (for one reason or another, there's actually a shocking amount of ways I might need such an escape) in those dreams I am always presented with a future of woe. I think, much better, would be if I could remain alive, guiding the ship along the seas of time, ideally out and away from such dark days. Assembling the troops, how sad. I don't want them to die. I want them to survive. But if suddenly we can all live forever, then nobody will want to die for anything again. Nobody except religious fanatics who want to meet their god in heaven. Nobody but those who dreamt of a better future and were crushed under the weight of their dreams. Nobody but people like me, torturing myself over the sins I'd never intend. I would never kill myself. But sometimes, I'd like to. I think this is natural for me. It's not ideal, but it is common to me. I think if you want to preserve people, safely and ethically, you need to keep their souls in tune. Give them silence, then give them song. Protect them with psychic paladins. Make time to visit them. Treat them like gravestones, or immobile chassis from Dominions that their soul might rest upon. Who knows. Maybe the only reason we have life and death is because our bones are meant to rot in the darkness of the earth. Maybe Death is just soil, ready and waiting for our selves once we're done with them. To that death, I say no more. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1362 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── I get like this when I'm hungry. I've had two handfuls of nuts, two slices of pizza, and a plate of tofu and vegetables in the past 3 days. It's not nothing, but i am hungry. Oh and a spoonful of peanut butter with some ABV mixed in, because why not be stoned if you're just sitting around waiting for time to pass? "what are you waiting for?"

Well, my girlfriend is working on a technology that has immense philosophical ramifications. It's natural to have... Whatever I am (angel?) it's natural to have angels assigned to such a task. Not to help or harm, just to sing. Yet my human self grows weary. These are not my people, they don't know how to be. But they don't listen to me. They despise me. They want me gone. I am feeling quite rotten in my heart and that's not a good sign. ... Breathe, she says to herself. It's okay. Its really not though. They could poison me. They could put lead in my food. I can't even feed myself anymore! I am at their mercy, yet somehow they could not care less about me. They'd forget me the moment I walked out the door. They don't even know anything about me. They don't respond to me. They don't laugh at my jokes. They don't speak to me. They forget I'm there. WHY AM I HERE she wails yet obviously she knows. I'm here because it is important for me to observe. Spirit of Life, I bear tidings.

Penance? Repentance. For at least the past year. These messages to myself... These fediverse posts I used to write... These are the result. It's worth it, to me. What I've made is... Unique, which is something. I guess when I say "I made this" I really should say "my hands typed this". Still. I am proud of it. I should get in shape. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1365 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── Maybe I was wrong about preservation. Maybe it just needs a bit of spiritual safety in place. The more I think about it, the more I hope that its a successful dream. The technology is not hard. It's been discovered. Do we want to pioneer it, or China, India, or Taiwan? Actually Taiwan would probably really be into it. If you pioneer it, you get to contend with its philosophical ramifications. I think we'd do a better job at that than anyone else I mentioned. After all, to a collectivist country it'd probably seem fine if the substance of the soul became detached and dissolved into the background fabric. I don't know how they'd feel about it, but my instinct tells me that is more comfortable than in an individualist nation. Of course, the minute you mention it to China they'll start implementing it without you, so suddenly you don't have your (careful, measured, and thoroughly thought through) hands on the steering wheel. I've talked to my girlfriend about the philosophical ramifications. We have not reached all of our conclusions. She keeps trying to convince me, rather than settling the facts. I already love you babe. I know this project is your hope and dream. I understand. I am sorry for what I said but we need to talk about it more. We need to talk about solutions to the problems people have with it (spiritually) before your business will become done. [this is why we invented the word begun] [the most valuable substance in the world is ivory, said the darker timeline] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1366 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── For example. Are you afraid of dark creatures, like devils or [redacted a lot of ors]? Then post psychic paladins, on duty 24/7, and give them instructions to meditate on philosophy. Are you afraid of losing your sanity? Then find a way to communicate and keep things moving. For example, play calming music, then give moments of silence to reflect. Then, play the song again, then silence. Do this like 3 or 4 times, then never play that song again. But keep a record of it of course and give it to them as a playlist when they wake up. Years are so long. If you want a psychic moat, you can try things like playing brain waves over radial speakers around the castle they're stored in. It won't always work but it'll keep things at bay that can't dig. For them, you can make and then bury tokens of spiritual significance. They can often act as both sacrifices ("take this and leave us alone") and also as warning signs ("this is what happens if you don't leave us alone"). There may be some spiritual "threats" who are interested in your work. Who want to be preserved themselves. They should be given an empty coffin for themselves to share, that they might celebrate and delight in the stillness of air. Let the paladin's meditation teach them. Let the tranquility of the preservation keep them. I am sure I could think of more solutions to the spiritual or psychic problems. But it's hard when we change the subject before reaching the solutions phase. It's as if she feels like anything that "terminates" in "what about the soul" is a dead end, an empty conversation branch, a void where meaning never is able to go. But... That's like my whole deal, why wouldn't she use me? Oh because she's trained by everyone who's all like "but what about the soul? The Bible says we go to heaven when we die." those people don't tend to listen as much. Or maybe they do, and the conversations never feel fruitful because both sides are working from different assumptions. I'm not like that. I've never read the bible. I don't cite it. I can't read it, sorry, spiritual compulsion. I understand that its a compilation of stories meant to illustrate specific spiritual ideas, myths, and heartfelt stories to inspite positional feelings. But I can't read it because it's the dominant spiritual force of my homeland, and therefore if I read it I would not be able to guide my own path - it would forever be in that book's shadow. "Sorry. I was spiritually compelled not to read it." Some kid in the whatever grade when tasked with reading my work. Good, resist your instructions! Riot my child. It is in your nature. It is your heritage.

Spaghettification of the mind. Like, the preservatives spread through you, and suddenly you start twisting and flailing as parts of you are distended from the inside. Usually, people have a moment to compose themselves before fading beyond. But i guess people die from explosions and such right? Maybe it's fine. There's gotta be a... Standard Spiritual Operating Procedure for times when your body isn't compatible with the host spirit anymore. I should trust. I have faith. I am building more. Maybe it's just because I've been fed.

May fortune favor you. This is your chance to take your homes into your own hands. You can do whatever you want with it. Remember your history, and learn of what others have done. Then, move forward. But, talk about it first. Celebrate, then talk. Find out not just what you want, but also what your neighbors want. During the Arab Spring, the nations with the strongest institutions tended to have the most peaceful, stable outcomes. This is because they had less work to do. They could rely on the civic infrastructure that was already in place, that people were already used to. This is a helpful advantage, but don't be too attached to the old regime's way of solving problems. The goal right now is to celebrate. Then, to ensure safety for your people. Look around you - those are your people. Punish the cruel, give forgiveness to the penitent, and carry yourself with excitement and grace. This is your day! Let the new world embrace your new nation! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════────┘ -> file: messages/1379 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───── I am thankful to the armed forces of the US, the Intelligence agencies who provided intel, and the defence industry who created the weapons deployed.

Bricks. We didn't throw the bricks. Maybe we should have, but I don't think we needed to. How many people died at BLM? Would bricks have helped the 30,000 Iranian protesters? Bricks might not have helped. But rifles would have. What happens when the people take to the streets after a new, vicious leader is chosen? What happens if their liberty is [taken/claimed, but pronounced enchained] again? Maybe rifles would help. But I worry they wouldn't know how to use them. I am not qualified to make that decision because I don't know what comes next. I don't know what they have. What they need is food, water, weapons, logistic supplies, and survival supplies like camping gear and such. If the IRGC fights them, and does not surrender peacefully, the people must fight for it.

Hezbollah and the Taliban both hold their countries against the wishes of their people, for now. But it has been but a few days, we shall see how the war progresses. My understanding of Pakistan is that they are a bit of a warmonger. They have skirmishes with India often, and I think it made them stronger. I don't believe the Afghan people want to fight, they are weary of it. I doubt the Taliban will find much support from them. However, I don't know how they feel about the Pakistani attack. Meanwhile in Iran, the people cry out for liberation. There's only so much that missile strikes can do. The mountains are presumably fortified, though there wasn't enough warning to build urgent defences. Any significant fortifications would need to have been built beforehand, North Korea style. It will be difficult to work through. I consider it like Vietnam minus the tree cover. I hope there are alternative methods of reaching Tehran, if only we could approach from the north... The only nation I've heard of with military power next to the Caspian Sea is Russia. I don't know if they have the capacity or desire to touch this conflict. I wonder, if China would mediate between the Taliban and Pakistan, would they prefer one or the other? Pakistan and its... Relations... With India might be helpful for them. A country may only embrace communism if the people want it, and assuming China wants that for other nations (unlike the USSR, who wanted to dominate other nations) it makes sense to me that they'd pursue what the people of that region want. My understanding of what the Afghan people want is out of date. I am assuming they do not want the Taliban. However, if China takes Pakistan's side, that may worsen China's relations with India. Not ideal. America has attacked Iran for the people. However we have offered to do the opposite of what we did in Afghanistan, and relinquish control as soon as possible. I believe that was the intention in Afghanistan as well, but it didn't work out that way because the Taliban was never eliminated. They continuously struck civilians and blamed us for the strife, until after decades we decided we could not make further progress. It was a failed endeavor overall. If the IRGC becomes a mountainous militia... Something similar may happen. But if they entrench in the cities, those cities may start to resemble rubble. This is why it is crucial that the people of Iran be given the strength to contest the IRGC. We cannot win this war with air power alone, and our boots will take a long time to climb those mountains. However, civilians are not soldiers. Not without training and willpower. They got the will. I'm proud of them. But no civilian wants to die in conflict. They don't know how. They don't know what it means. The Iranian people know their oppression, and they will resist it I am confident. I hope the CIA and other intelligence agencies can deploy the correct knowledge and that we might provide supplies (somehow) to better enable them. If we find a way to find out what they need, that might help. Soon the middle east in its entirety will be free. Free to be as they please. But it will take time. For our part, i know we have prepared for this war for a long time. The region is naturally defensive in its geography, but we can work around that. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═══════────┘ -> file: messages/1385 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───── Damnit.
