A response to the previous message written into the chat text box. It has -8 characters remaining, meaning the words expressed were simply too large to fit in the technical restraints of the computerized medium within which the author is communicating. Here is the text of the message: There's only so much time in the day, and when perceiving media people often tend to "turn off" their brain and exist in the moment. But, then, when they come across something they identify with, said brain lights up and says "Hey I know this!" and so they resonate in a pleasurable way, which they tend to then incorporate into themselves in a way that is personal and meaningful. It's not... wrong, per se, to do that. But it leaves you vulnerable. A better approach I think is to work toward facilitating space in people's lives, such that they may have the mental freedom to analyze their conditions and the nature of the reality they perceive through their own two eyes. There's nothing more powerful than a thinking machine aligned toward rationality through it's design comprised of the natural result of logical rules that are incontrovertible due to the nature of reality - All things are based on a combination of math and sensation. See this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/435/

 You need to trust both the government and corporations equally. It's best to
 work together so you can actually accomplish something. Instead we're just
 cast at each other like weapons or banelings. Corporations primarily through
 social media indoctrination and media, and governments through
 anti-corporation bullshit - the anti-work hysteria is is stoked while the
 government stokes the flames of racism and mysogyny. The people through riots
 and civil disobedience. Also the cops and military and all the other
 institutions are all like that too, but with differing cultural memes and
 methods.

 The rich should act as courtiers in the houses of America. They should not be
 lords of labor, nor directors of change. They should represent our best hopes
 and refinement - essentially, kings from another time.
 
 I would gladly be inspired by a virtuous leader. And yet none has yet to
 appear. I wonder why the media wouldn't show us a good representation of the
 people we are meant to fear?

 I have nothing but respect for the officers who do their jobs without malice.
 
 I'm a paladin, so I am aligned against elemental evil, not against a lawful
 institution.
 
 However, those who hurt innocents, those who target the weak, the meek, the
 type that don't fit in, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable, and the broken,
 the foreigners and strangers, the leftists and their communicators, all of the
 kinds of people who strive to make a better world for all, not just for the
 few who claim superiority and dominion over others... yeah those people are my
 enemy.
 
 I do believe structures and institutions can be evil, but I have no knowledge
 of what goes on inside the FBI's internal structure. So I cannot judge if it
 is evil. I do however know how capitalism works, elementally, and I know that
 capitalism is evil (less evil than monarchy or despotism perhaps, but still
 evil)
 
 therefore, I am leftist. I strive for better world for all, in whatever form
 they desire.

 those who know their side will prevail are never afraid to die.
 
 those who are surrounded and everybody knows are never afraid to try.
 
 those who feel peril most at stake are most thoroughly compelled.
 
 those who take up a blade want to study the meanings of fighting
 
 while those with the sheathed objects [unable to damage] are concerned with to
 being.
 
 everybody's so hyped for you to get to heaven
 
 if humans claim themselves immortals, should they be "let them be on through

 well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if
 someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone
 else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay
 to be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change
 someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others. But that's rare.

 ephemeren sees and speaks through me, as it does do through you, and he and

 I'll try to have a #nogoodawfulrottenbadtime so that the future is slightly
 better.
 
 or maybe I should try and vibe with the universe and celebrate the unity of
 existence, in order to accrete positivity in this localized place in spacetime?
