Consent and government
The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this – that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.

This is a campaign which suggests one more possible definition of the liberal mind—as a boundless enthusiasm for spending other people’s money. But the logical point comes back to the basic unreality of the liberal mind: namely, a refusal to think in terms of real human beings. Instead, the generic man of liberal thought is like a window dresser’s dummy—merely a vehicle for provoking hatred or tears.
Kenneth Minogue
Let not thy peace be in the mouths of men.
The pursuit of happiness is not, on this view, the search for a shower of benefits. Rather, it involves the recognition that life itself is a mixed blessing, that its point is not the satisfaction of desire so much as an adventure in testing wherein what we most fear is sinking below our best, that truth comes by blows, and that failure and disappointment are as necessary to us as exhilaration and success.
Kenneth Minogue
The manner in which people and movements behave at the point of victory can be the most revealing thing about them. Do you allow arguments that worked for you to work for others? Are reciprocity and tolerance principles or fig-leaves? Do those who have been censored go on to censor others when the ability is in their own hands?

"The beauty of doing nothing is that you can do it perfectly. Only when you do something is it almost impossible to do it without mistakes. Therefore people who are contributing nothing to society, except their constant criticisms, can feel both intellectually and morally superior"

America's bureaucracy becomes stranger by the day. How is it within the federal health authority's power (let alone their concern) to block landlords from evicting tenants who don't pay their rent? This is one of the most blatant violations of property rights going on right now as they have essentially nationalised the tenancies of these buildings. They have not nationalised the financial burden imposed on the landlords, as they still have to pay their mortgages and pay for maintenance. This is socialism.
Acting Premier James Merlino begging the federal government for money after locking the state down yet again is like purposely jumping overboard and then begging for a life jacket. Let them sink.

It's official, Beijing Biden has signed off on $1.9T in deficit spending to further sedate the American economy. Printing money so people can buy Japanese TVs built in China can not stimulate the economy, it can only worsen the already catastrophic trade deficits.
While economics is often abstract, the trade deficit (now eclipsing the all-time high set in 2008) is easily visualised by the queue of 41 container ships waiting to dock (with an average wait time of a week) to deliver consumer goods bought overseas. The demand has become so overwhelming that they have to build new shipping containers in China because they can't afford to wait for the in-flight containers to make the round trip.
The true enemy of the wokies is a decent financial education, which is why they love public schools so much, it's their main source of voters!
I agree with Nike, Disney, and Coca-Cola, those guys waving the American flag are definitely fascists
They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still cannot change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. In other words for these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible."
After years of unequal application of terms of service, Twitter has starting giving left-wing accounts the ban hammer
(perhaps in solidarity for the thousands of banned conservative and right wing accounts). The only problem is, they don't understand that
this is what they have been advocating for the entire time. Remember, "freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences". This should
be a time for people across the spectrum to unite against Twitter's suppression of free speech, however, the #StopTheLeftPurge tag is filled
with gloating right wingers and braindead left wingers claiming they're being singled out. Vote with your wallets lefties, join Parler Gab and let Twitter
wither until they provide an equal platform for all viewpoints
I challenge Prince Andrew to a no holds barred cage match, oh yeah, oh yeah.

2016 vs 2020. 2 years of powerlifting, 2 patella dislocations, and COMPLETELY unethical mass cultivation (GOMAD, dozen eggs a day) and I'm finally getting some SUCCULENT deltoids. The best gains of my life have been doing one lift a day. ~75kg(165lbs) ~18% BF vs 118kg(260lbs) ~25% BF.

Is it possible that the Australian government banned Huawei in a deliberate attempt to slow the roll-out of the 5G? Surely they would like to recoup some of the $48.7bn [1] they've invested into the abject failure that is the NBN. All you need to do is look at Telstra's official speed metrics between their supported broadband technologies to see that NBN is a bad service.
Peak Speed | Latency | |
4G | 100-300 Mbps | 50ms |
5G | 1-20 Gbps | 1-6ms |
NBN | 12-100 Mbps | may vary |
Table data: [2].
Expected median speed in San Francisco (under average load) market is 1.4Gbps with latency of 4.9ms [3]
If it came out that this was the case then I wouldn't be surprised if they were also responsible for the proliferation of 5G conspiracy theories

I'm hosting my own Twitter-like feed with the idea that it can be easily piped into an RSS feed. It would be nice for everyone to just be able to host their own feed and then users could just subscribe to different people on some app. Then everyone owns their own data (kinda like https://matrix.org).
