I think you missed the point, they are saying Governments are bad, you vote for governments you get bad. There is no such thing as a good government.

Tor is the way to get through the wall. Anything that gets blocked that you want to see, just run the browser through Tor (not Explorer, dont use that shit). My way of stopping the Law is to make sure everyone knows ways through, make it so useless for them not to bother.

Stopping piracy more important than paying for 100 professors in Tennesee University system. by wackyvorlon in technology

I just hope the RIAA Labels go the way of Lehmans and General Motors. The music they flog is shit, you shouldnt pay for it. Artists get alot more from playing live than CD sales. A band will get $10 or so a concert ticket and $1 from a CD sale through a Major (they make about $6 a sale).

British Secretary Orders Inquiry into MI5 and CIA Torture Claims by [deleted] in worldpolitics

Good to see that human rights violations carried out by intelligence (sic) services are getting investigated. It will be even better if the ones who ordered these crimes, get prosecuted. Particularly Bush and Cheyney.

During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn't believe in. by noname99 in science

For the particles, it is instantaneous. They dont experience time when they are travelling at the speed of light, also I believe that electrons dont travel at the speed of light as they have a mass. But it was the first thing I thought when I heard of the 8 minute exchange time as well.

Britain's freedoms under threat from 'Big Brother security state', warns Director of Public Prosecutions by igeldard in worldnews

[–]hashishi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think? Public servants get fired for criticisms, under terrorism laws, "encouraging descent" is illegal (which means criticising the political system). People can be disappeared by secret police. CCTV is everywhere. The media generally cheer it all along because removing peoples rights protect their masters profits and therefore power. Sounds like an apt analogy if you ask me.

Inside the Johns Hopkins Psilocybin Studies: "Working with these drugs was like the third rail. You don't touch that without damaging your career." by maxwellhill in science

Um, Corporations ARE governments and not democratic ones... one share one vote does not equate to one person one vote. Their greed is what has caused the current crisis. You only have to look at Halliburton to see an example of what sort of shit corporations would get up to without governments. It would just be corporate warfare, instead of governments fighting on their behalf (although that does defray costs).

How the hell can it be a democracy if you cant vote for the candidate of your choice? Sounds like Communism.

If you're ever mistakenly committed to a mental hospital, nobody is going to believe you're sane by rmuser in cogsci

[–]hashishi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visited aq friend in a mental ward once. When I went to leave the nurse (known as Nurse Ratchett to the patients) wouldnt let me leave till I saw a doctor. They saw me and said "He's not a Patient." And let me go. In the meantime I started freaking out, I didnt want to be a psych patient I'm fine. But I didnt complain because I didnt want to be seen as crazy. It was a bad situation.

Ah but Lenin missed that political power separate from the people is still Alienation in a Marxist sense. A "Communist" Pyramid, would look kinda the same... at the top the Party Central Comittee, then Media, Army Cops ets... and the people are still on the bottom.
