  • What’s the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?

    Dead children who will never grow up to learn to read. When what you’re doing isn’t working, you have to expand the discontent. The protestors of BLM and Antifa burned buildings down, yet who asks for the justification? Is vandalism not the answer to bring awareness to the slaughter of marginalized and silenced groups, or is it only acceptable when it’s closer to home?

    I don’t give a shit if a hundred libraries burn to save the lives of even ten children. The dead cannot learn from their pages.


  • Hard to determine with what we know. We haven’t met any other intelligent species which suggests we’ve passed the filter. Yet, making that conclusion before knowing there are no others to meet is too presumptuous. But, if I were to guess, I’d think the filter is adaptability.

    We’re superior to animals for being able to use tools, live in radically different climates, and shape every spot on earth into a livable climate. Even on Mars, the moon, and space. How else would a species venture through space if they can’t adapt?

    That might be too general a concept for the question though.









  • No you’re right, we should take the side of the government who actively performs military drills off the coast of a mostly defenseless island of people to subjegate them. The side of a country who has countless times shown us they not only don’t respect our way of living but actively support our enemies like Russia. The side of a country that if given the option would propagandize us the same way they do their citizens. Heard of Tiananmen square?

    I’d rather be exploited by billionaires for my work than lied to, manipulated by, exploited by, then murdered by my government in the streets.




  • The two current candidates are so far apart the people who claim to be undecided are ignorant or stupid, willingly or otherwise. I’d understand riding the fence between Biden and Bernie, even if I’ve made my choice between them, but between Trump and Biden?

    That’s the kind of person who is undecided if they want to drive to work or walk down the middle of i-95
