Bantering with punk-stasi-victim was Re: Slavery was Formally Abolished Today, Happy Freedom Day

[Karl]

Hey.

I just finished a session of videotherapy.  I haven't read Punk's emails yet.

I suspect I reply to Punk more because the things he says are more
similar to things I'm used to being said around me.

During my therapy my therapist said something like "things you've been
through, like human trafficking," and immediately got irritated,
because I had been brainwashed to know I had not been through human
trafficking.  It's pretty obvious I was briefly, which is pretty
confusing.

I'm imagining people who have been forced to spread and believe
propaganda against human trafficking, being unable to state that they
have experienced it.  A situation worse than mine.

Dunno!  Today, my heart is still beating.  And this isn't really
talking, more like beating around a lot of bushes (which means
intensely avoiding something).  Do you think it's the right choice?

No.  Here, let me quote something you said:

The word "which" was pointing at the two words immediately preceding
it: "hy0Omun tRaphikking".  What word do you see, prior to "which"?

Not sure what the concern here is.  Are we in agreement that slavery
and governance are both reasonable things to reign in?  Kind of the
small-form and large-form of controlling other people against their
will?

I mean it's hard to tell who or where they are, specifically.

I'm not sure what that means; I think of 'govcorp' as kind of just
slang for governments and corporations acting synchronously.  In the
USA we have a lot of corporate lobbyists and financers influencing
things pretty heavily.

You can plan on people sharing their principles in groups.  Such

Yeah kind of a specific case of multiple things.

Maybe it would be easier to draw on a normal trafficking service as a
government worker.  How 'bout that?

?  I've lived in upper-income communities and seen the reliable
policing and respect.  I've also seen moonshiners have their camp
leveled by machinery just because somebody called the police about
their clothes looking raggy.

Laws are functional tools for the people who pay the most of the
taxes.  These people can be reached and worked with.

That totally happens, but in the USA we also write our own laws.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_referendum .  Representation
occasionally works too, where laws get written that people want.

What's relevant is that we have antislavery laws, so working with laws
would be a part of a comprehensive effort against slavery.

You could also just rescue and protect people with your physical body,
which sounds pretty awesome too.

I'd better be allowed to be an anarcho-primtivist who was forcibly
brainwashed to not behave or talk like one, because I am that.

If you want me to criticise laws for my reasons, they produce and
sustain conflict by depersonalizing the resolution of concerns.  You
need to have ways to heal relations with the people who impact you and
are impacted by you, on a personal and emotional level, or things just
worsen and worsen.

Lawsuits in the USA maybe have two useful roles: they give you an
opportunity to defend yourself against government excess, and they
provide an avenue for producing defended results.  For example, people
have had some success retrieving FOIA documents.

In the USA, most people grow up supporting the government, and then at
some point realise it is a big sham and many people then turn against
the government.  Nothing is black and white.

It's like the blowback I mentioned earlier.  The more you do nasty

We'd like to skip all the death and just be nice to each other,
though.

I already said that what you propose is true.  I'll consider believing
it's not true for you when you can acknowledge that human trafficking
exists today.

Crime is specifically opposed to government, in the definition.

Anyway, it sounds like oppose human trafficking, i.e. where masses of
people are forced to do things against their will for the benefit of
others, but call it government?  It is notable that governments also
do this, but they don't offer the behaviors of their people as a
service to the wealthy or anything that I am aware of.

You can look in BlueLeaks and see the presentation of groups who are
not about terrorism, described as terrorists in law enforcement
trainings (although it's hard to find).  If government was just a way
to control people directly, there would be no need to deceive the
police to get them to attack certain groups of people.

I mean, I really don't like indoctrination, but I have eaten at
numerous soup kitchens run by churches.  They do do moral things.

Why do you care so much about being for and against stuff?  It's,
like, the only thing I am against (being against stuff in general),
and this is true of so many people.  You cast yourself as the eternal
villain.

I received two spaces and no words between "is" and "criminal".  I
suppose you edited it.

What does this matter?  This "information" is possibly helpful for
judging how much to trust something, but not everything is about how
much to trust somebody's religion.  In fact, very little is.

Eh I was harmed in a way that used timing and intensity to build like
alternate personalities in me that believe weird shit and influence me
heavily.

A single free software developer can write a blockchain or machine
learning application that changes the entire world.  See: bitcoin.
It's not that people use it: it's that people mine it.

But what's more relevant is that most people don't understand
software, so you can really help some arbitrary group out by managing
their software issues and writing software that does things they do.

Software isn't used cause devs aren't free, over here.  Why do you
believe monero isn't used?

It was freedom day.  Slaves don't always talk, so it's worth the
gamble to share it.  Somebody may have never heard of it before.

I'm always spamming the list and it's one of my gimmicks ;p

It's not meant to be government propaganda.  It's not even
government-run.  NGOs get government financing in the USA.  Obviously
it _is_ government propaganda a little, but I thought I addressed that
in the post.

You do it totally irrationally as if it is a sham.  If you wanted to
convince people of something you would make points around what they
are likely to hear.

Maybe I imagine that people often, when lying and taxed, pick the
exact opposite of what is true.  Takes more energy to creatively make
up something new, maybe.

What I've been exposed to is the corps sending people to different

These are strange things to say.  Do you have a source of income?  Are

Basically you find some way to learn that, and spend a couple years
