You’ve heard of no true Scotsman, well that’s compared to me, the only true Scotsman. Everything I am is all things that are forever and not, therefore the fallacy isn’t.

Next Tiktok challenge: DDD’ing a federal appeals court judge.

Arthur fleck is an example of a failed healthcare system within a capitalist structure failing repeatedly and severely for not just the one individual, but everyone that sympathizes with him as the joker.

He’s not a role model, but he is a hero, and he is inevitable in all similar situations.

No.

Stealing is usually defined as taking something that exists in a way that denies the original owner its use and grants the illegitimate owner its use.

This is how loans work in fractional reserve banking: loan provider has assets of $1 million, they loan out $10 million, having wholesale created the additional $9 million. If those loans are forgiven, but the original assets did not change, what has been stolen?

A fictitious amount of theoretical money.

If I make up an image, and I make a copy of that image that i send to you and you delete, but I get to keep the original, is that theft? No. Obviously not. Made up money is no different.

Why would it be government debt? Just cancel the loan, don’t pay it on behalf of the borrower.

It’s the point of acting, really, to experience and display something you’re not. I really don’t get the big deal on this given the history of acting.

It’s Tiktok and loops, the latter has a small population right now but might explode if Tiktok gets banned and people are principled enough to not use IG or other literal genocide funding services.

Squirrel is a weird euphemism.

Unless they’re permanently getting rid of democracy like Ukraine did I’m not sure how this helps. The people convinced by the ‘propaganda’ are just going to vote the same way, and the people unconvinced aren’t going to vote harder unless Romania has more than one vote per person or something.

The Chinese consumer market is larger than the US and EU markets, and is growing, not shrinking. On top of that the Chinese business market is growing and is growing extremely quickly. The backbone of either market in the 21st century is computerized goods.

This is also a sign that the multiple domestic architectures are good enough to act as drop in replacements for at least government work, so business and consumer uses aren’t too far behind.
