Thanks for clarifying what your definition is. Pretty much includes any form of government throughout history. Is this an anarchist’s pov?

If you’re going to try to narrow the definition that way, then most countries are fascists. Why don’t you visit the Wikipedia page on fascism and help them simplify what they classify as a very complex definition.


Which would make it far worse. Lower than WWII Nazis.


America wasn’t fascist then. I don’t think it is now (yet), but the leadership in power sure is.


The rhetoric, absolutely. The difference is that this idiot has a big, loaded gun that works.


Totally not a threat on on the life of another country’s official. Nope.


We need like a united nations organization to help push back on the aggressor. Like a league of nations or something.
I think there’s some that go through that dwindling urge to keep going. But there are also the ones that you describe, the “oh, new shiny thing”.
I really hate the ones that I ALMOST remember, can almost see it, and the harder I try to focus the blurrier it gets.


We’ll find a remote island somewhere and name it Karma.


Right. I actually don’t have an issue with them not having a transponder on. That was the least of the problems. But not being aware of standard traffic around an airport… come on.


That’s comforting that they could be that way and be running silent from ATC and other aircraft anywhere. What could go wrong?


Nothing will happen because it’s US military, but shame on those pilots because you know THEY saw the JetBlue coming their way, knew the route they’d take, and didn’t give a shit. They didn’t even have to say anything, just change course.
Mine were PETSCII using C-64 graphical codes from shifted letters. I had an animated signature line on one BBS of the Enterprise that would redraw it, making it warp out to the side of the screen. It works well because of the slow baud rate. :D
I still use the ORLY expression sometimes. Some people get it still.
“Oh, I get it. Just because I Chinese, you think I build wall. That i’ bullshit! I’m not stereotype, okay?! Just because I’m Chinese doesn’t mean I go around building wall! I’m just a normal person like all o’you! I eat ahrice and drive ahreally slow, just like the rest o’you! I’m not stereotype!”
Someone could throw it into Stockfish and see what it starts with.


That has its own slope of discrimination from data due to being able to pay or not. If we determine a certain thing is okay ethically to screen for, anyone should be able to get it. Bad enough to have one gray area, we don’t need a gradient of gray everywhere.


My first question was, why is this a target? This is terrorism and outside war rules (insane that we have rules for war instead of just not having it). Laws are only as good as their enforcement though.
