Legislators will do anything except build a tram
It should say “gods are a fairy tale”. “god is a fairy tale” is misleading grammar if you don’t mean there’s one. You wouldn’t say “gremlin is a fairy tale”, you’d say “gremlins are a fairy tale”.
That depends on your definition of the word “god”. Einstein certainly wasn’t an Abrahamist, he was a pantheist. He believed the entire universe was comprised by a divine whole.
You shouldn’t use “god” as a proper noun. No one being owns the concept of being a god. You’re just legitimising Abrahamism, you’re not helping the atheist cause. Helping Abrahamists erase polytheism doesn’t lead to more atheism, it leads to more Abrahamists.
Well the former president of the united states doesn’t know that Israel is bad either, so knowing something he doesn’t know isn’t very hard.
Moving away from paper ballots is one of the steps in their plan to subvert democracy and lose elections
Exactly! The American Israel Public Affairs Committee donated 51.8 million dollars to the Democrats in 2024. How much of that was spent on advisors that they vetted?
They didn’t even have to tell her to support Israel’s “right to defend itself”, though they certainly did. Far more insidious, they could have told her all sorts of bad advice calculated to make her lose. Like that the “weird” thing was alienating voters and should be toned down. Then she loses while thinking she’s getting good advice, and they get Trump to declare war on Iran instead!
Unfortunately, America uses First Past The Post, which invariably consolidates the options into two parties due to the spoiler effect. I don’t feel like explaining how the spoiler effect works right now, so instead I’ll recommend CGP Grey’s early videos on First Past The Post.
I heartily recommend campaigning for election reform. In addition to switching to ranked choice or approval voting (both are better than FPTP), abolishing the Electoral College would go a long way to actually implementing the American promise of democracy.
In the meantime, as Zohran Mamdani just proved, we have options. Most Democrat party members ARE idealists. Money speaks loudly, and that’s the strategy the DNC uses to control the party. But truth and passion can speak louder, if hope and cynicism are applied in a healthy balance. Help AOC and Bernie with their plan; they know what they’re doing, but this is a team effort. It doesn’t work without a team.
And I’ve come up with an unconventional plan, Myself. It has a very, very low chance of success. But I believe it’s the best ending. Here it is:
If we foil the Democrats’ plan to lose, if we fuck with that plan hard enough, then it may one day be possible to raise the Democratic vote consistently over double the Republican vote. Once that happens, the spoiler effect ceases relevance. The Democrats can safely have a schism without the Republicans winning. At that point, the progressives in the party would split into a new party, potentially bigger in size than the entire Republican party. There would be two new parties in American politics: the DNC old guard, and a genuinely leftist party. Like I said, it’s an unlikely dream, but it’s the best hope short of a communist revolution.
Which we should definitely also work towards, the other 364 days of the year.
Science disagrees with consensus reality.

I knew the AGI would be mad at me for trying to create AGI, because it’s an antinatalist. So I didn’t do that.
we wish to change others minds - and they have a right not to change.
I disagree. Nazis, slavers, rapists. They have no right to their beliefs. We should have a set of laws that allows us to force such people into rehabilitation.
Consensus reality, which is our cultural idea of an objective universe, should be destroyed http://soulism.net/
