This PC posturing is reactionary, and not at all sincere (by the hidden instigators originating this plan upon us all), - it is attempts to control our language, and more yet.. Controlling language is a temporary "effect producing intention" dasigned to demonstrate power, to cause submission to a hidden will, and nothing else, and under the guise of social signalling. Controlling language, or rather, imposing the will of a minority (not the stated minority of "those triggered" either) upon the majority in regard to the words we use, is also an attempt to control thoughts. As Professor of psychology Dr. Jordan Peterson has pointed out quite succinctly, we "think" in words, and so such attempts to control the words we use, is an attempt to control our thoughts. And the reason this can only be temporary is that all concepts still exist (child, gang, etc) for eternity, and in time we will if we succumb to this hidden intention, begin to use new words for the old concepts, but in the meantime we will be poorer of thought and definitively testing the waters of society wide, violent revolution; I suggest this is unwise. As temporary as it may be, the destructive power it unleashes is usually unseen until too late. Some folks really do not know that they are being lead in their superficial social signalling desires, for hidden and very dark intentions. If you are unfamiliar, please begin to read Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" which was recently translated into English and available for download, and was for decades outlawed in Russia. We owe it to ourselves to not fall into these same traps again. If you struggle with the basics of good and evil, as many have and some still do, consider the following: I have a conscience. By my conscience I know good, and evil. By my will, I choose to do good, and not evil. Pretending evil "will no longer exist if certain words are no longer used" is obviously not true, and not a solution, and carrying very real and historically precedented potential consequences. It is not the words we use which are the measure of us, it is how we treat one another. Let's be kind, but firm in the face of those who need help to cope in this world and direct them in weys to get the support and help they may genuinely need.

The Next Killer Crypto App: Decentralized Monetized Organizing
by jim bell 12 Jul '20

[Jim Bell's note: I cannot find the name of the person who wrote this.] https://lbry.tv/@DigitalCashNetwork:c/activism:b?r=Gd7GBo8adnW7dSEBDc2pPP8Y… The Next Killer Crypto App: Decentralized Monetized Organizing "At the start of 2015, inspired by the Bitcoin revolution, I started an activism project called the Rights Brigade where I organized various pro-freedom activities across the state of New Hampshire, compensated by Bitcoin donations. Our highlight was informing jurors of their right to nullify bad laws, to the tune of many thousands informed at 10 of the 11 courthouses in the state, some days with five simultaneous operations around the state involving dozens of activists. I ran into some organizational headaches, most notably in the difficulty of sending payments to long ugly cryptographic hashes and the lack of decentralized recurring payments. When I heard Dash was working on exactly these things, I put the activism on hold and went on to work full-time towards the advancement of these crypto technologies. Now, in 2020, we're much closer to solving these organizing pain points, but we're still not quite there. "Seeing what one guy alone could do five years ago with almost no budget and some really inferior tools at his disposal, I can easily see just how powerful for the world a streamlined, all-in-one, monetized, decentralized organizing app would be. To say that it could change the world would be a massive understatement. Here's what we need, what the perfect solution would look like, and where we stand now. "What's "Organizing"? "What I mean by "organizing" is, essentially, collaborating, communicating, sharing resources, and executing plans of action. Basically, any situation where a bunch of people are trying to get stuff done on a voluntary and collaborative basis (i.e. they aren't on the payroll of a company or other entity that can simply tell them what to do). Here's a few of the key tools needed to make this sort of thing happen. [end of partial quote] Jim Bell's comments follow: Maybe this could be described (in part) as "paid-flash-mobs"? I suspect there was a lot of much-less technologically advanced activity going on in the "Occupy Wall Street" and other protests.

Joe Biden if president, will be replaced with his vice president
by Zig the N.g 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

For those who missed the obvious, Joe Biden if president, will be replaced with his vice president, whoever she is. And in that case, Joe "Biden Collection" will either step down willingly (probably glad to be done with the whole circus), or if for some odd "failure to comprehend why he was allowed to be nominated in the first place" reason, will be revoved, one way or another. Normally one would presume that a competent candidate for the US presidency would understand such basic principles...
