I want to be unique … just like everyone else

I don’t know what’s going on here

All throughout history it’s our young people who are brave enough to stand up to fascism, authoritarianism and oppression.

I ride a motorcycle, an old BMW and I named her Sophie. I don’t plaster it all over the bike, it’s just a silly thing I do for myself to remind me of the past. The name is after Sophie Scholl, a young 21 year old university student who stood up and protested against the Nazi regime in her country in 1943.

Even in the face of severe punishment she kept protesting until they arrested her and put her to death.

This young man is giving up so much, maybe giving up their future, to fight for all of us … there is no greater bravery than that.

Violence and power … their logic always leads to violence and power. But in the cowardly underhanded way possible.

If the previous president had been removed, they would have joined the mob and led the march if it had been successful.

If someone does anything this time, they’ll take it as an excuse to go after everyone they don’t like using law enforcement and the military.

If none of it works out, they’ll disappear into the shadows and wait to reappear again and let lower level people take the fall.

If anything succeeds, they’ll jump on a podium to lead the angry mob.

At any point, they’ll just stand in the sidelines claiming that they’ll never support violence.

How about everyone learn to organize and actively disconnect from the capitalist system … boycott, boycott, boycott.

First organize and boycott one sector, with one company and complete ostracize them. Make the one company completely fail. Then move onto the next company and on and on.

There was a movement here in Canada in the 2000s when the price of gas rose. Gas was consistently at about 0.60 cents (or there abouts) at the time. When it rose one or two cents, people were enraged. When it rose by five cents, people started organizing. Groups started forming and suggested that everyone spend a week and boycott onto PetroCan stations … then the next week boycott Esso … then the next week Shell … and so on. It had an effect because prices leveled out for a while and there was an outcry to get rid of those organizing groups. Shortly after, all those groups on FB, Twitter and every where else started dying off from internal bickering and arguments and all those ideas of boycotts just slowly faded away. Then everyone just gradually accepted rising gas prices and it became normalized to have the price of gas rise and fall by ten cents in a week. Now it’s all just normal.

Boycotts actually work and if everyone organized and just targetted one company, we could maintain our level of comfort and what we enjoy while at the same time dealing a death blow to one company. Then when we’ve taken that whale move on to the next one and on and on.

Capitalist don’t react to anything … they don’t care about people, health, welfare, humanity or decency … the only thing they fear and respond to is if you threaten to take away their money and wealth. And the amazing thing about this stand off is that we … everyone … supplies these wealthy overlords with the power to hold over all of us. We actively give away our power to allow them to control our lives.

This goes to show you where the big corporate media stands … if this had happened under a Democrat President, there would be non stop news about it … a Republican Turnip does it and it’s just treated as another normal chaotic day.

Worst lap dance in the quadrant … yeah right it was scientifically measured and performed

Hopefully she didn’t become a prostitute

Is that a serving for one, or are we both going to eat off your arm?

Inside of me, my inner child is dead

I used to do this to devices as a kid … try to figure out how to set the switch to the middle

That’s the problem with modern AI and future technologies we are creating

We, as a human civilization, are not creating future technology for the betterment of mankind … we are arrogantly and ignorantly manipulating all future technology for our own personal gain and preferences.

To me this is a fascinating analogy

This is like having a civilization of Original Creators who are only able to communicate with hand gestures. They have no ears and can’t hear sound or produce any vocal noises. They discover a group of humans and raise them to only communicate with their hands because no one knows what full human potential is. The Original Creators don’t know what humans are able to do or not do so they teach humans how to communicate with their hands instead because that is the only language that the Original Creators know or can understand.

So now the humans go about doing things communicating in complex ways with their hands and gestures to get things done like their Original Creators taught them.

At one point a group of humans start using vocal communications. The Original Creators can’t understand what is being said because they can’t hear. The humans start learning basic commands and their vocalizations become more and more complex as time goes on. At one point, their few basic vocal commands are working at the same speed as hand gestures. The humans are now working a lot faster with a lot more complex problems, a lot easier than their Original Creators. The Original Creators are happy.

Now the humans continue development of their language skills and they are able to talk faster and with more content that the Original Creators could ever achieve. Their skills become so well tuned that they are able to share their knowledge a lot faster to every one of their human members. Their development now outpaces the Original Creators who are not able to understand what the humans are doing, saying or creating.

The Original Creators become fearful and frightened as they watch the humans grow exponentially on their own without the Original Creators participation or inclusion.

That’s a matter of perspective … maybe it was the lame version of you that was causing all your problems
