So rather than answering my legitimate question, @sam-keeper ‘s immediate response is an ad hominem attack and blocking me.
Liberals are weird sometimes.
Worse than blocking me and worse than the ad hominem attack, though, is that I still have no idea what “[our government is impenetrable except when women hack its shit]” is referring to.
Hwat
Probably Reality Winner, but IIRC that was a leak, not a hack.
“Dude, how many layers of Weird Near-Future Sci-Fi Politics are you on right now?”
“I dunno, let me go consult the chart.”
@kissingerandpals: what?
Me: hey me, you know what would be hilarious?
* completely sober at 3 in the morning *
Also me: what fam?
Me: aight, so we like, do the expanding brain meme, but for national technocr- i mean uh expanding the search space of solutions to near-modern political problems, and the punchline is ~nuclear moon base~
Also me: hahahaha politics amirite?
The central thesis of this blog is that we won’t find the solutions to the challenges of the 21st century by re-fighting the battles of the 20th century. We are doing current politics and it’s having the current results, but we all want something better, and that necessarily means something different.
The current political ideologies are mostly unaware of the future and the ways in which it will likely dramatically upend them. Not only are they not prepared for its problems, but they aren’t prepared to take advantage of new potential solutions, either. And without acknowledging those solutions, they often pretend that the problems don’t exist, for ideological reasons.
Some of the proposals on here some fake, but each could be a real policy with more detail.

Average Argumate post kills 1.3 people” just statistical error. The average Argumate post kills only 0.0015 people. “no guys, it’s totally safe to come to Australia”, which kills over 3,000 Tumblr users each year in drop bear attacks alone, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
regular reminder that Australian wildlife is tame compared to America
(via argumate)
America was actually the Death Continent all along. Woe betide any who dare think to master it!

Does something which would be a significant departure from the status quo but not aligned on the conventional left/right axis also count, or is that Edgy Centrist?
I’m going to have to make a chart to keep track of all the new kinds of Centrism lately.
“낮술” is Korean for “day drinking”. How can you not love a language which can express that concept with just two letters?
That’s at least 5 letters. Hangul just groups them into their syllables.
So what you’re saying is Asian languages need a better compression ratio…
@collapsedsquid #seriously why is maoism the thing people are accused of?#I didn’t think it was relevant anymore
Probably something to do with how racism/etc are handled socially by progressives. I ought to read up on Maoism myself, though.

I’m not a socialist or a communist, but I could probably defend socialism/communism in the wake of the Venezuelan failure much better than most lefties I see doing it are
All I simply have to do is explain that Hugo Chavez’s moronic spending decisions (generous spending on welfare/aid programs rather than infrastructure, education and industry so that the country wouldn’t be dependent on oil export money) showcased his failings as a leader and do not actually indicate a failure in central economic planning as a whole
Of course I don’t think they’ll do this because it would mean tarnishing Chavez’s legacy and his cult of personality
How I would defend it: Actually, Kibbutzes are Good
