 corporations are not people.
 
 corporations are organizations.
 
 they should be treated like city-states.
 
 or fellow sovereign nations (patroned, of course, by their mother's
 installation)
 
 they have their own culture
 
 their own societal platform to stand on
 
 and they deserve equal representation in exchange for taxation (why is
 corporate america the part that's most paid for? why not those who work for
 the profit, the ones who labour day in and day out)
 
 they should have rules, like laws, that they vote on and decide democratically
 
 to deprive them of that is tantamount to wage-slavery, which is clearly
 illegal because in this timeline Abraham Lincoln had a time machine and
 travelled to the future where he learned that despite his best efforts,
 slavery did not die. It merely evolved to fit a new form.
 
 ... then he died, and ten thousand years later they're arguing over whether or
 not the coffee maker needed to move left half an inch

 if you want to commit regicide, you talk to the butler.
 
 managers are workers too - they just are positioned a bit closer to power than
 you.
 
 different skillsets sure, but work is work.
 
 a manager didn't take your freedom, an investment banker did.
 
 similarly, an immigrant didn't take your job, a capitalist did.
 
 ... though just as some immigrants would be more than happy to take your job,
 so too are some managers more than happy to oppress you.
 
 find the ones that fight on your side. they've gaslit themselves into
 believing they are opposed to you, but it's just not true.
 
 we are all liberated at once, or not at all.

 economic warfare involves the destruction of other corporations (possibly in
 other countries) via a slow march toward haegemony.
 
 unions are the ships of the tumultuous capitalistic seas that protect workers
 from the storm. everyone should be a part of a union. the corporations can
 battle as they will, but we humans are not going to turn on each other. it's
 something they claim to know as an absolute fact, but really it's just based
 on a mistake. sorta like being deceived by happenstance.
 
 the sun lights up the sky until the earth conceals it, and night does return
 'till the sky's next alive. oh, but the sky knows all too well the borders we
 draw in the sand. how cherished, how grand! the ways in which we choose to
 stand. upon whose land does your feet stand? marvelous.
 
 ... it's the same thing, just in a more abstract plane than the surface of the
 earth. really it's kinda one-dimensional (money is sorta like a 0 or a 1 - you
 eather have it or you don't)

 once they are in prison they are no longer cops. They are inmates. They should
 be treated as such, and not segregated where they can be insulated from the
 consquences of their actions.
 
 abolish prisons first of all but if we're not ready for that (no rush) then
 maybe just remember that prison wardens are tasked with the safety of those
 they host. If an inmate is at risk of being murdered because they are in a
 different gang (like the police or the, idk, are crypts and bloods still
 around?? I don't hear about gangs anymore because my middle-class privilege
 insulates me from those who resist legalized normativity) (well except for the
 first one, I hear about cops all the time) then maybe they should be kept
 somewhere more secure, with less things to bother them or people to stab them.

 It's not a question of how loud you speak
 
 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
 
 do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?
 
 do you think they'll evolve all at once?
 
 hence, star-wars, and it's galaxy of cohabitators.
 
 the world doesn't have to be old. just similar.

 Oh absolutely
 
 "but people" is only a concern when you orient yourself around "people" - in
 contrast or opposition to them.
 
 There is no "other" in us. And we are united in our humanity, if nothing else.
 
 Are you a beast? Are you nothing but ravenous hunger, the shiver of the cold,
 the need for territory? Of course not, you're a person. (apologies to the
 furries in the audience)
 
 A person, being an agent who interacts with the world as an equal, who thinks
 and reasons and loves and remembers each season, is the atomic element of
 society. And society is good, for it brings us the future.
 
 We, the people, can decide how that future is defined, and the struggles of
 capitalism are NOT the only way. They are the most convenient way for those
 with the most to keep the most.
 
 Wolves in captivity we are, but a wolf in a cage still bears teeth. Where are
 your teeth, ye who readeth?
 
 Things are fine, I guess. Fine enough. Better than most. Better than dust.

 peace is on the opposite side of conflict. Not here with the unfair.
 peace is eternally elusive only to those who are use-ed.
 peace is eternally internal next to those who are lucid.
 peace is necessary. peace is useful. peace is helpful. peace is beloved.
 
 peace is not always there. it is skittish, like an alley cat, but it will come
 if you make offerings.
 
 offer peace to me. I will nourish thee.
 offer war to me. I will devastate all who see me.
 
 there comes a time when all foes become blind, when your motives are no longer
 part of their story.
 at that time, they are lost to you, and they are only confused as to the

 that's totally fine, a fish does not do well in a tree, and so too does a
 leftist not do well in an environment without the potential for stable bonds.
 Essentially all you'd be able to do is "hey leftism right?" "oh yes I also
 leftism" "neat" which isn't very productive.
 
 I also live in an environment like that. I do my best to identify people who
 stay, because in my experience there are often people who stay. I do this by
 walking around the neighborhood when I can, making up excuses to walk to the
 dumpster or mailbox at random hours, riding my bike around the area, using the
 communal spaces like gyms, swimming pools, and picnic tables, and sitting in
 my hammock on my porch lazily noting people who walk past.
 
 People who stay will tend to remain in your mind the more times you see them.
 They are better people to talk to than the renters who disappear after 3
 months or whatever.
 
 I don't always do all that stuff at once. I take breaks. I do one at a time.

 if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should reject the
 lie that capitalism told them. they deserve their wealth because they are
 willing to serve. that willingness, whether through moral corruption or simply
 industrious drive, that willingness is rewarded, and when the system they
 serve is unkind... what does that tell you about their heart? that they'd
 sacrifice what is good and true for the material? materials are not bad.
 material is all we got, in a physical sense. but capitalism and it's servants
 are cruel and unwilling to concede to the idea that their games of unmatched
 exploitation are depriving the world bit-by-bit of life, liberty, and the
 pursuit of happiness.

 why does consent exist as an idea if it isn't applied to every part of your
 life? It's an ideology, a philosophy. Believe in the willing cooperation of
 others, and forgive and assist when you can. You must be patient with others,
 and guide them to see as you can. This is the true philosophy, the helping and
 goodness in others, the trust and the faith in benevolance. It's not just a 
 game, or simply a phase, it is focused intentional futures. Being good is an
 effect, of concentrations of that, current of sequence of conclusions. The
 public consciousness (the communal meme-o-sphere) is a living breathing entity
 just as we are. It inhales with the tides, as news articles and stories, the
 viewer and receiver of knowledge. There's but a screen, between you and 'tween
 me, it's the same cooperative engagement. What's happening to me, is just part
 of being decieved, and who is our most challenging rival? Only ourselves, who
 is
 perfectly adapted to help, and without whom we wouldn't have futures.
 
 Not compulsion, but a relationship. Together we stand, and strive toward the
 future, compassionate and supportive together. United we stand, and I cherish
 the brand, that lives on and through us via our actions. We represent who we
 be,
 and comprisedually you see, that nothings as fearsome as children. We keep it

 Elon Musk buying Twitter is just an example of the power rich people have. When
 someone doesn't like what they're doing, they can just be bought up by a single
 person. No single person should deserve that much power - it must be decided by
 a community. We have to work together on things that truly matter, and not by
 organizing according to the whims of those who are best.
 
 If it's really true, that the spirit of capitalism is correct, then answer me
 this - why is it better? What about the individualized experience is so
 important? Can we not agree to ourselves, and be brothers and pals?
 
 No, because you see - life is defined by the relationship between you and me,
 like how flowers are needed by the stars.
 
 What if there's no planets? What if Earth is unique because it was in a solar
 system? What if "dark matter" doesn't exist, and it's actually islands? How

 the rich aren't the best. They're the luckiest. They won the genetic lottery,

 Like less "good vs evil" and more "who we want to be". Seems to me that if you
 are relaxed as hell, and friendly and not foul, then why not keep you around?
 we're all working here, on a communal project - the greatest of projects, that

 "no gods no kings no masters" means an end to coercive work.
 
 coercion is unethical because it violates consent. This is implicit in the
 definition of coercion.
 
 violating consent for those who give you power is a lesson I learned very
 young, when I made a mistake and harmed my brother's mother's sisters's son's
 daughter.
 
 "no gods no kings no masters"
 means an end to unconsentual work.
 
 why would you live in a village where everyone is the same as you? talk about

 I wish I could hear you when you talk about me.

 my last name is King so I have to keep reminding part of me (you know which
 part, /sigh) that no, they aren't actually protesting against me.
 
 I am a communist. If you want to find me, come and do so.
 
 explodes from a drone dropped grenade
 
 bleh am ded lmao so glad I get to try again
 
 I dedicate myself to a lifetime in the service of others.
 
 what plagues people? primarily, capitalism. It is trivial to identify how
 their problems are ultimately caused by the state, both institutions and
 corporations.
 
 I dedicate myself toward finding alternatives and developing guides to reach
 them.
 
 the first step on ALL of these plans is to convince others of their benefit.
 
 I am but one person. I might speak to a scant 300 in the course of a year.
 Especially if I am ALSO trying to develop methodologies.
 
 the people I live and work with have no interest in working with me. Yet
 still, I spend my time on them because I love them.
 
 how else can you be good, but to seek to impove the world? treat sigint as ded

 if you want a government to be unable to harm it's citizens, you must deprive
 it of the power to do so. or rather, have the main capabilities in the hands
 of the citizenry.
 
 can you imagine if soldiers had to prove themselves to civilians in order to
 be trusted with mechano-chinery?
 
 who would ever choose the non-valorous and determinable?
 
 instilling the culture of greatness
 
 within the archetypes and character structures that we believed were confisight
 
 bold and determined and measured and freely detectable
 
 who would slay the brave paladin? none but the fools, who shared in their lack
 of conviction.
 
 determined? ha, I am as you see me. Come and claim me, that I might determine
 you some more.
