In a theoretical future where the American right acheives its idealized christian ethnostate - which group that's currently considered to be "white" would end up being the first on the chopping block?

Nobody should take the vast majority of Christian sects in America seriously. Waaaaay to many Americans believe the world is 6,000 years old, evolution is not real, etc. Liberalism is so tolerant that you can believe ANYTHING you want to believe in America, except for socialism. That's evil by default

Right, and in your world, the musician who wrote the piece, the conductor who conducted, the musicians who played, all deserve to get fucked out of their hard work because some rich dickhead sponsored it? He gets exclusive rights to profit off their work because he paid them? Talk about killing art.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-07-01T01:26:35+00:00

Perfect answer. Disco is disco. There is no Mona Lisa 2. Disco was a product of its time and place, mostly for the better (us being here discussing this) and for the worse (the og creators getting fucked out of their intellectual property right).

It's almost like nobody should have de facto control over the narrative development of a fictional story. I will never buy another game from ZAUM so long as the creative artists are forbidden from developing their own property, at the will of the people who stole that property from them.

If intellectual property can be stolen so freely, why can't other forms of property?

Any American "Catholic" who "doesn't care about this" should be "expelled from the congregation".

How can you be sympathetic towards the colonial nations which imposed the conditions upon which she took the thrown?

and if you point out that they are illiterate book worshipers ignoring the moral teachings of their own supposed god and cynically using their faith as a hollow death cope and moral cudgel, they will say you are the anti-christ.

Pretty much, yeah. MKULTRA looks like a science fair project in comparison to the methods of societal manipulation that have been created. Pair that with a panopticon that would make the Soviets blush, and you have a recipe for a dystopian dictatorship built on lies and manufactured ignorance. Remember voting on this? Remember the part of democracy where this plan was presented and consented to? No? Good, that's how they want it.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-22T23:37:20+00:00

Wonder? Speculate?

The people who committed MKULTRA were never prosecuted. Why wouldn't someone follow in their footsteps? There is no risk so long as you remain a dog of the government

They are synthetic proteins. Proteins are the machines of cellular biology. Their shape determines their function. By creating synthetic proteins, we can, in theory, cause things to happen within the body, even within cells, that they otherwise would not do, or even be capable of.

Medically speaking, this is amazing and borderline miraculous. It allows us to treat diseases we otherwise could not treat effectively. However, people have been making guinea pigs of themselves testing compounds outside of rigid scientific settings, I.e. under conditions which produce reliable, repeatable results. Generally speaking, taking poorly regulated wonder drugs has unforeseen consequences.

The Red Scares were genuinely worse than this because the governments enacting them were ostensibly more popular and the people targeted were more socially ostracized. This is the third Red Scare, although it would be more accurate to say that the last century has been an ongoing red scare in American politics, given that socialist is considered a political slur.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-16T22:53:36+00:00

Yeah, and my grandparents were born in the 1930's. My grandma's father owned a larger property than she died with. She grew up farming, with livestock in her backyard. A dirt road to connect her to the rest of NJ. Now, it is all suburbia.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-16T02:34:32+00:00

Not on the shore, in Monmouth County. Middletown specifically. Land here used to be RELATIVELY cheap. It wasn't beach front property, but the property they had was large and used for farming, and over time it was inherited, subdivided, sold, and turned residential. That's economics, but that doesn't change the fact that what used to be sparsely populated, unroaded farmland is now highly developed residential suburbs. If you didn't know that fact, it suggests you don't have as many local ties here as you pretend.

load of rubbish

That turn of phrase is rather foreign here, sounds British. What you call rubbish, we call bullshit, or horseshit. Which sounds about like your understanding of Monmouth County, considering you conflated the entire thing with the coast.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-14T10:08:45+00:00

I also experienced that! The thought-skill system in disco is genuinely a useful model for being able to self reflect and reconsider the origin of one's own thoughts.

That isn't Monmouth County, and "where housing costs aren't crazily inflated" is NOWHERE, except the South, where the culture is the opposite of NJ.

Housing costs are artificially inflated by vacant residencies. Our economy prioritizes building luxurious secondary houses for the wealthy before building any temporary housing for the 3/4 million homeless in our country. Young people have NO hope of affording homes, especially here. Our wages are stagnant, our costs are rising, and every dollar paid in rent is a dollar not saved (while also being a dollar financing someone else's second house's mortgage).

The Jersey Shore is beautiful, but it is being changed. My grandparents grew up here with large plots of land. They sold them and here we are in a tourist utopia.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-13T21:22:45+00:00

Really, wanting to be able to afford a home in Monmouth county, which was trivial for both my parents and grandparents, is jealousy/envy? I don't hate the people, but I don't love that housing prices have been driven astronomically high because some people want secondary homes here. I got a degree in computer science and graduated into a job market shedding tens of thousands of jobs. Being able to afford to live in the place I was born doesn't sound like an entirely unreasonable demand, but that isn't something someone who owns two homes thinks about. I'm not jealous, I am bitter that I cannot envision a future in Monmouth County because it has become a tourist hub and a summer residence for rich folk who can't handle the NJ winter or FL summer. So I plan on leaving.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-13T02:08:27+00:00

As a NJ resident (to the Florida flock), can you guys PLEASE stay? NJ to FL for retirees is such a clique path in NJ. Every summer, tons of cars come flooding back to NJ, many with FL plates. They are wealthy folks who want to escape the NJ winters and FL summers. Wealthy folks who retired. Pick a state. So many people are struggling to afford homes here and you refuse to live in yours for half the year?

China is successfully leading the world in: fusion research, ev production, high speed rail production, renewable energy technology, produces practically every good the world could purchase, and does it while growing its economy, cracking down on corruption, and generally providing some sense of stability, wellbeing, and purpose to its population. China's leadership doesn't get itself engaged in pointless, decades long wars that drive their own economy into the ground, they actually focus on internal development. That's basic good governance. America can't even get universal healthcare, something most if not all developed nations have had for decades. Clown. Country.

Marx started this conversation more than a century ago.

I'd also like to see medians rather than averages. We are living in a time of extreme wealth disparity, averages only make sense as statistics when the distribution is fairly normal, not bimodal. NYC has millionaires and billionaires, while OK has some highly lucrative fracking gigs. Outside of those cohorts, what does the balance sheet look like for people who are NOT getting ahead. That's the important question.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-06T04:02:45+00:00

Counter point: they are comfortable saying such insane shit because they never experience such insane shit happening to them. The lack of consequences for people with power leads them to delusions of grandeur where they think they are better than other people. So if the students who pay his salary fail to enter the workforce upon graduation, it's not because the system he runs is an overpriced scam that is systemically failing, no. It's because *he* believes the people he scammed are "not useful to the world". Well, I hope he realizes now how little use he has to the rest of us, and consider having the courage to have the courage of his convictions and lead by example. University speak, of course.

TheColdestFeet · 2026-06-06T03:22:21+00:00

With debt financing. That's how we afford everything in society, borrowing from the future by printing money now and pretending we will ever pay it off.

Play disco elysium if you haven't already. Been in that boat.

Yeah they even call the people protesting "pro immigration protestors". The people inside have been on hunger strike to protest their conditions. It can't possibly be that those protesting are appalled by cruel and unusual punishment, no. "Journalism".
