    Of course they had their own religion, so to speak, that they wanted to force on unbeliievers.

    Hence religion and politics are actually the same phenomenon, and are about expanding control.
    The correct solution is to recognize this and let people be free from capture by either, for the exact same reason.

    You already know this reason...for classical religion.

    Capitalism will arise naturally in an economically free world. Politics, a religion, has to actively work to stop it.

    As for Libertarianism, as it wants you to be free from government control, and for government to only secure your freedoms so you can pursue them without interference, it is the political equivalent of atheism -- believe what you want, Mr. Other Politics guy, but when you force me into your ism, you're going too far, just as a religion forcing you to join does.

    Sadly, a bare 51% transient majority suffices as memetic justification for adherants to feel good about themselves when forcing their politics on others.

    Marxism is a large memeplex whose purpose is to gather enough followers so they can seize control over those who choose not to follow, and force its tenets on them as well.

    Politics and religions are the exact same phenomenon. The correct solution to both is inherent freedom from compusion to join them.

    Ahhh, the old Ireland apologist response. That didn't take long.

    Ireland was a political split along religious factions. While awful, it's not the same thing as this, which is a religion per se attempting dominance to force its beliefs on everyone.

    Ahh, the old "people who disagree with me must be mentally unbalanced based on that disagreement" meme, a common one in a memeplex's mass control mechanism, and a modern variant on "if you disagree, you are in league with the Devil" of antiquity.

    Well, I best not disagree with you lest the lemming feature initiate thousands like you to tsk tsk me, which obviously I do not want, as I seek approval from you like Lisa Simpson does, giving emotional certainty to my positions in a feedback loop.

    The real problem is you need to be expert in the target processor(s) with special instruction slots and the break even points for unrolling a loop and dozens of other peculiarities. Processors are co-designed with compilers now for a reason. . It's not enough to just be clever in translating an algorithm to a little math virtual world of chars and floats and other atomic, hardware-level operations.

    Notably Hollywood people, lest one appear on a talk show and casually drop the terrible service they received on airline X, costing the company millions.

    There was a pregnant woman in Detroit who, while boarding a plane, was shoved violently aside by such an airline goon, striving to get to the Hollywood person aboard already to serve them. As it turns out, the pregnant woman happened to be a columnist for the Detroit Free Press.

  19. Re:Word of the America people on 'Citizenfour' Producers Sued Over Edward Snowden Leaks · · Score: 2

    Take the quotes off "wrong". Too many people view democracy as a holy justifier of dictatorship, as if, because it was voted in, it is therefore ok.

    Democracy is a tool of freedom. Freedom is the master, not the servant of it, and is not something to be waved away because some charismatic demagogue can briefly convince 51% of the population to grant him infinite power.

    Politicians tout democracy rather than freedom because freedom means freedom...from them, while democracy means massive powers authorized to them.

    I'm not saying the US playing the game of "oh well, if it's gonna be a dictator, might as well be one friendly to us" is something noble, but I am so sick of this drooling, unthinking slavishness to the Holy Shrine of Democracy, when it yields little to no freedom.
