 dear god, why don't girls carry around swords? nobody's gonna wanna mess with
 you if you got a blade. [nope wrong they still will, but close. the actual
 answer is that if you notice injustice, you can draw your sword and engage.
 "stop, why are you doing this sir" attends to the citizens like a justice
 police.|'-> I see, well please step aside so she can pass.]
 
 when people are noticed from their flanks, they tend to panic and disengage.
 unless they're in a frenzy or a rage, then they are an uncontrollable storm.
 but once it wears off, they are surrounded. frenzies are rare. often glorious
 in their flair. hence, why a lady with a sword can help clear the air. in a
 crowded room, she approaches when she notices there are enough swords for
 those belligerents who are armed. otherwise, she is outclassed.

 WHY? People are dying! Fight with their breath! Inflict wounds on your

 your foes. Nothing else matters but the valorous fight.

 waters of possibility. Embrace the cold! Let it fill you with warmth! Embrace

 Freedom, to fall through the air, Serenity in motion, as you piece the

 autistic people when nobody told them to shut up about things they thought
 people should be talking about but aren't which is weird right like why
 wouldn't people be talking about [thing] because frankly it seems like a big
 deal but really it's that everyone knows more than the autistic person who
 doesn't have any friends who have friends and is insular and isolated and also
 very smart in fact smart enough to think up ideas for things to talk about
 that people aren't talking about which is weird because they're not THAT smart
 but also a lifetime of isolation has made them a little schizophrenic so they
 sometimes feel like their actions are not their own like they're being
 hypnotized or perhaps possessed by the spirit of mankind or some other such
 entity which would like to express ideas that they think people should talk
 about but they aren't talking about which is weird because why else would a
 porous person have ideas such as [thing] if not for the path that they're

 politics is basically just "which politician archetype annoys you more?"

 oh right they do that on purpose. Makes for a better spectacle. Gotta keep the
 people in line, or else who knows what they might get up to. Maybe they'll
 build a house! Maybe they'll tear it down! Maybe they'll throw a party! Maybe
 they'll stay afterwards to clean up! Maybe they'll grow their own food! Enough
 for all to share! Maybe they'll air their dirty laundry, out where everyone
 can hear! Maybe they'll sit around and fart while eating cheetos! Maybe
 they'll work twice as hard because their work is their own! Maybe they'll
 laugh at the losers who tried to claim that they could master the fate of an
 entire domain, and maybe they'll simply go insane.
 
 Who can say! None but the fools, surely, surely the system is too arcane,
 surely our way is better, surely their way is deranged.

 it doesn't have to be a nazi bar. Imagine if we posted on our own bulletin       │
 boards, and we subscribed to people via IP address (which we'd ping every once   │
 in a while) rather than demanding that our stuff be hosted on someone else's     │
 computer                                                                         │
 ... oh yeah, duh, because then we can't save our social media posts from a       │
 different computer.                                                              │
 would be nice if instead there was a localized copy of the text that people      │
 were posting / favorited / wanted remembered on EVERY person's computer, like    │
 they were storing 1/3rd of the torrent file of the instance's data.              │
 like, just enough to be unreadable to any one individual, but if you had like    │
 3 computers you could get each individual slice and transcribe it into words     │
 that you could read.                                                             │
 or you could just look at your part, then ask other people for their 2 parts     │
 related to [posts from XYZ user at this-and-this time period] and use them to    │
 populate the local user's feed.                                                  │
 and you could log on because all of the PASSWORDS are stored and encrypted in    │
 a way that                                                                       │

 when you mess with wild animals you change their culture just a bit              │
 crows are forever different because they learned how to trade cigarettes for     │
 acorns.                                                                          │
 is it conservative to think that "wildness", once lost, is forever broken?       │
 the mechanism at play is the same - when lost, [the culture of thine youth] is   │
 forever broken.                                                                  │

 did you know that was thirty years ago?                                          │
 close to thirty five.                                                            │
 no, wait, hang on its thirty five by now. woof.                                  │
 anyway now we have catgirls and cute dogs and other animals besides. Just go     │
 hang out at a queer bar and you might meet them.                                 │
 where else would they go? queerness is for everyone. Nothing about it is         │
 sacred because nothing about it is required to be the same. You are different    │
 than he, so he and she can be as the please.                                     │
 so now, in a sense, our biological nature is altered by animals in return.       │
 if there were no cats, there would be no cats.                                   │
 if there were no pink and purple flying people eaters, there would be no...      │
 actually I can't picture it                                                      │

 we don't let children vote.
 
 nor do we let felons vote, theoretically those who harm our society (pick one,
 no voting or no prison? I vote no prison industrial complex)
 
 nor do we let non-citizens vote, for why should they tell us how to live? they
 are not us, they shall not control us
 
 nor do we let kings vote with the weight of a god, for a king is a singular
 point of failure
 
 if you can consent to sex, you are physically capable to vote. if you're
 mislead by the propaganda of an abusive spouse, you are hurting your future
 self by staying. [all media is propaganda that you are not immune to]
 
 all men are created equal, and yet his dollar is worth a bit more than hers.
 
 all of us here are equal, because we all want the bright future and a blessed
 life.
 
 we'll make this world better, using our own hands according to our own demands
 and in pursuit of our own plans.

 Trump threatens US government shutdown unless trans healthcare is made illegal
 
 wow, so...
 
 okay
 
 are they really willing to go to war over men in dresses? I think they might.
 I am shocked and amazed at their audacity and extreme stupidity.
 
 so, trans people: would you rather live in Gaza or go into the closet and buy
 testosterone on the dark web?
 
 death before detransition is not about trans rights. well, it's about trans
 rights because they made it about us. Buncha weirdos, so concerned about our
 styles and emotional states.
 
 It's not about trans rights. It's about that one poem, you know the one,
 "first they came for the immigrants, then they came for the trans people, oh
 and there's socialists in there somewhere frankly they aren't picky about who
 they go after because ICE doesn't care if you're brown"
 
 if they come for us, they will not take us.
 
 "just adding fuel to the fire, y'know"
 
 yeah, well, not only did they light it they also are holding buckets of
 gasoline (not even a sealed container smh)
