But there’s definitely a strain of revolutionary that wants a more explicitly fascist or feudal adversary, not this wishy washy liberal centrism rubbish.

It takes a villain to create a superhero.

This is why Leftists should support my rise to power in order to feel revolutionary zeal and increase their social status through righteous indignation. It’s true, I may not be a feudalist or a fascist, but they’ll get to call me that a lot which gets the same social points, right? And what I have in mind is less wishy-washy than the current dominant paradigm…

Anonymous asked:

Should your avatar be referred to as Miti-chan?

Oddly enough, the avatar already has a name, I just haven’t mentioned it on Tumblr yet - the Union Girl.  (Union Girl has another name, but that will be revealed in due time.)

This is reflective of the persona I present in futurist shitposting here on Tumblr, that of someone who grew up in the North American Union prior to its integration into the Earth Federation.  The choice of clothing is a callback to the United States of America, the predecessor of the NAU, at that point having already been dissolved several decades ago, and to the anti-nationalist EF, is used as a symbol by those who support the National Separationists.  Those wearing symbols of the old Union aren’t against state intervention per se, and aren’t in favor of the ancient Confederacy’s war for racial supremacy (at least according to Confederate politicians), but they still believe in nations and states.  Thus, Union Girl is either the [North American Union] Girl or the [Union Army/Federal] Girl.  

National Separationism is suppressed by the Earth Federation government as a form of hate speech, and the Union Girl has ties to separatist organizations and is generally problematic according to the reigning social justice orthodoxy of 2112.

As a paramilitary cyborg from the future intent on reviving a nation that doesn’t currently exist, the Union Girl is technically a supervillain.

The name of this blog also has multiple meanings.

Mitigated [Chaos] - I am chaotic, it is mitigated on this blog.
[Mitigated] Chaos - Plans to mitigate chaos.
[Mitigated Chaos] - A blend of chaos and order, a mitigated chaos.
Mitigated Chaos - .The plans on this blog are in fact partly chaotic.

If you’re arguing about whether the U.S. should weaken protections of freedom of speech, I’m likely to find you a lot more persuasive if you examine other Western nations with weaker free speech protections (i.e. most of them) and the observable consequences of that, than if you expound on the most horrifying dystopia that you can imagine resulting from the opposing side.

Yeah. As someone who’s innately a free speech absolutist, it’s hard to admit that moderate limits on speech aren’t necessarily very onerous and can be maintained for decades (at least) without spiraling into anything much worse, but it’s pretty obviously true. Doesn’t mean the restrictions pass a cost-benefit test, but it’s pretty obviously true.

I do actually think that European and Canadians restrictions on speech are already onerous, and American 1st amendment jurisprudence is the one major thing that is genuinely politically superior about the US compared to those countries. I keep seeing stories about the cops being called on people for hate speech tweets in the UK that would be unambiguously constitutionally protected in the US, and thinking I’m glad my servers are here and not there.

If I lived in one of those counties I would consider it politically important to move local law more towards the US model, or barring that preventing effective enforcement of censorship law; since I live in the US, I consider it politically important to prevent the state of 1st amendment law from moving even a little bit in the direction of Europe and Canada (which I agree are not dystopias).

the first rule of Internet argument is to make sure your profile description isn’t so embarrassing that it can immediately be used against you.

corollary: your detractors will always find something “embarrassing” about you to use against you so why bother

I made fun of knowyournewmeme and they went to my blog, couldn’t find anything, went to the link for my youtube, couldn’t find anything, THEN went to my twitter from there and saw me retweeting a jontron meme and screenapped that to try to 1-up me

puublack

Sounds about right

Already had someone quote my blog description as some kind of “shutdown”, but the joke was on them since it only revealed how clueless they are.
