Not at all. Revolution means "turning". It doesn't even have to be violent, and it certainly isn't bound to an ideology. "The rapid overturning of the governing regime and its replacement by a new regime" is a fairly decent approximation of a definition for this concept. Suppose a nation is...

That's not "the" reactionary view, either.

You're trying to reason with someone who uses the term "Magic Sky Daddy". A complete waste of time, since intellectual honesty is by definition impossible for anyone with that attitude. Nietzsche in his latter days, smearing his own shit on the walls, was more likely to be brought to reason...

The only effective solution that I can see is the reclassification of what is essentially "public". I'd propose that certain services are so fundamental to living in a high-tech society that they are fundamentally a "public" service. This would include all basic payment services, and domain...

No regrets over past errors; men have been tricked by far more obvious conmen, who didn't have the indoctrination services of the entire media system behind them 27/4. Every lie that you've believed and then came to see for what it was in truth has made you stronger and wiser than you were. We...

Problem: the EU is basically a China-style bureaucratic dictatorship in many ways already, and they can (if they want to) fine him to such a ludicrous degree that he'd rather make X inaccessible from all of the EU. Which is what people like Thierry Breton actually want. If they had their way...

Very much so. The longer you wait, the worse things get, and the worse the reaction will be. A simple matter of built-up pressure. Regrettably, the establishment continues to do everything it can to make a timely course-correction impossible. If Trump had been allowed to carry out his intended...

Personally, I'm not inclined to see what King Arts says in the most charitable light, as @Rocinante and @DarthOne et al. are. Sure, anyone can phrase a thing poorly from time to time. But this guy has a long, long history of voicing absurd and reprehensible views. And let's be real here: if...

Fired upon, if you ask me. :p

It's pretty clear that an impeachment procedure wouldn't get any results at the moment anyway. So with nothing to gain from actually playing hard-ball, it's a decent move to draw attention to the fact that the Democrats are authoritarian dickwads who unilaterally start impeachment procedures...

Shouldn't that simply be resolved by allowing the judge or jury or whatever to simply weigh that in the consideration, without creating a separate category for it? As far as I'm aware, everywhere it exists "hate crime" is just a bullshit excuse, mostly used to punish people for wrongthink. The...
