Comments that offer nothing but vitriol, hate, and anger should certainly be moderated
Why?
People have a right to express their opinion whether it is spoken from anger or not. Anger is not inherently irrational.
You people who claim to advocate the importance of free speech but make exceptions for certain special cases CAUSED this crisis of freedom we're facing now.
Also the thing is that the people who were hurt have nothing to do with any of us. None of us knew them. It doesn't make sense for us to mourn them. They were nothing to us. The best humanity has to offer is rational thought, not irrationally letting your heart bleed out for things that have absolutely nothing to do with you. If it does have something to do with you, rationalize the connection and figure out what caused the problem instead of defaulting to sobbing and tears.
The NSA is the "professional military intelligence" you speak of.
How would changing the personnel of the agency affect its directive? They are all following orders.
You are honestly so idiotic as to believe this whole thing was cooked up and executed entirely within that agency with no support or direction from outside? Are you totally unaware of the history of this program? The NSA inherited this program, tools and all, from the TIA "research project".
The casual evil they do and the ignorance under which they do it are intended consequences of their conditioning and training. The root of the evil are people who benefit immensely from these kinds of programs and who have a stable of totally loyal servants who look for every opportunity to "serve their country". Which really just means to serve these powerful people.
I can only imagine your shattered view of reality that you've constructed from TV and movies.
Sorry but you seem really gullible saying something like that.
Yes obviously they are incredibly flawed overgrown infants with no real consciousness and thereby no conscience. That is how they are able to do something so utterly evil every day and live with it. That was the plan in raising a generation man-babies. Skilled workers that will do anything you ask and that are too absorbed in their diversions to question anything. Zombies.
See, the NSA isn't the evil organization that is treating you as an active threat to your own country for no reason.
They are the good guys, the ones who try to stop the terrorists from doing mass shootings! And they aren't even omnipotent, they can't even crack your iPhone!
It's not classism. It's discrimination based on genetics. We are both the unwashed masses and the mongrels. They are perfectly conflated. The "good" genetics are meant to rise to the top.
The thing is that "racism" practically does not exist as a conscious paradigm. Some examples are pointed to like the 'KKK' and 'Nazis', but the perception of these groups is so thoroughly spun up in propaganda any right-thinking person trying to get something out of life other than just fitting in with the crowd would at least be given pause in judgement. Like I said already, it's easier to get along with people you have things in common with. Your own race are the people you share history, culture, DNA, EVERYTHING with. Every race is "racist", actually and historically. It's inherent in our instincts on a most profound level. See the theory of 'imprinting'. People discriminate viciously based on every superficiality, and yet somehow everyone thinks its unnatural and evil to discriminate based on race. Whether or not they realize it they do it all the time and subconsciously feel guilty about it so they translate this guilt into increased aggression when judging people based on things other than race.
All people are vicious animals when deprived of rationality. And it's not popular to be rational.
which one do you think is likely to be acted on to promote stability for the economy from which microsoft profits?
Seriously us people who aren't herd animals need to get it together. There is clearly a massive conspiracy against us all. Are you going to wait around to see what the top of the hierarchy does with all of this information they have on us once the economy becomes majorly automated?
Of course they manipulate what people think. What an understatement. They have access to a vast amount of power which there is absolutely no regulation on. Of course they abuse it. It's what they were made to do. It's their purpose.
"Racism" is a poisonous idea being used to destroy freedom by turning the masses against each other. To the people with wealth, we're all "niggers". Genetically inferior human waste that is more of a dangerous timed bomb than a source of useful work.
People don't like people different than them. It's not "racism". Its far more fundamental, and nothing will ever change it. If you control people's minds with coercion to eschew "racism", they will discriminate prejudicially based on other criteria with redoubled ferocity. That's the whole point: to weaponize people's instincts concerning conformity to annihilate dissent.
For any given racial group, their own people ARE objectively better FOR THEM. It's as simple as this: it's easier to deal with people with whom you have things in common. Believing this truth is racism and heresy mostly because it was shown to be an extremely dangerous threat to the dominant people on Team West (WW2). Nationalism makes strong resistance against globalist-imperialism (evil).
Instinct is not intuition. Intuition is what may have inclined some people to believe the world was a flat place. The distinction is extremely important. There is no evidence of any idea led to by instinct in any of this. Instinct is the product of long and consistent experience. Intuition is the product of consistent experience over a much shorter period of time and is much more malleable.
Many birds' instincts must tell them on some conscious level that the world is round, otherwise how would they be able to migrate across continents accurately?
Look at the example of humans undertaking similar journeys. The example you cited of turning three times to amount to a 180 degrees of turning yet arriving far away from where you started: why would you assume that the greeks were the first to experience this? There is no telling how many civilizations collectively realized this before them. You are not accounting for the noise of history, especially events such as "dark ages" as the one spoken of in greek history around 1000 BC or the "bronze age collapse" in general.
You are using a few very examples and not accounting for all the ones that may have been lost. You are not accounting for how these examples survived to present day. You are not accounting for differences of opinion that may have existed. You are guilty of a lack of critical thought: just believing what you heard and assuming it is the whole picture. You are using these few examples from a tiny minority of civilizations to assert that there was a consensus across not just nations, but across the entire world. Do you see how utterly absurd that is?
They are acting as the same entity. I don't understand how you deny this let alone not come to this conclusion yourself. The fact that two entities of comparable size that have been caught doing the same thing should be some clue. Not to mention the many ways that they are deeply in bed with each other.
Is it too much to put together for yourself? There is no terrorism threat.
Complete surveillance has been brought into existence to control you, you are considered to be the potential "terrorist". Every single one of us is. The purpose is to ensure that the transition from human labor to robotic/computerized labor is "smooth". Meaning no one tries to stop the destruction of the vast majority of the population.
'But wait, what? You mean to say that people who have no use to society won't be supported by society?' People who do not have work run amok, regardless of any comforts they have.
Consider that the psychology of the average person is a known system. Consider the example of the effectiveness of advertising or politics. It's easy to tell people what they want to hear, and even easier now because most of their thoughts are being directly monitored through surveillance and mined for patterns. Basically these people could be convinced that everything that is bad for them is good, and it would be a short matter of time until they destroy themselves. Genocide through manipulation.
But how on earth to describe this to anyone in such a way that they don't reject it immediately? Is there any hope?
For this heart-touching story about how an insidious device that listens to everything you say and relays the information to the government (for the sole purpose to destroy your freedom and in turn your very life) is actually a good thing.
"the Greeks observed that you could make three turns while sailing and end up where you started, yet the angles didn't add up to 180 degrees" that's very interesting
but I object to your point of view on consensus of information
"a physical fact" what is that supposed to mean?
"people actually believed the earth was flat" which people? every sailor? how many? how do you know?
Just acknowledge that the records do not exist to be able to speculate on this. What's the point anyway? To say that everyone in the olden days was a dumb-dumb unlike you and me the smartest boys of all time? Honestly I think that's it. To create the illusion of progress, when in reality, people are more thoughtless unoriginal herd-following animals than they have ever been, including especially the ones who are said to be educated. What good is knowledge without the will to apply it to a good purpose?
And people who consciously declared that the world is flat weren't wrong anyway. The earth is flat. It is also round. It is large enough to have the luxury of being both at the same time. The largest scope is not necessarily the most correct one.
You really are lacking an understanding of what I said. And apparently have some kind of subconscious terror or armed people or people who go outside in general.
You are more retarded than a sack of monkey balls. I'm not just saying that.
All of those things you mention are directly supported by police and military violence. The world has not changed fundamentally. You are delusional. You are finding excuses for your utter cowardice and inexcusably trying to force them on others.
How does anything you suggest contribute toward taking power away from the government? At best it seems that these things would only slow the growth of power. At best. Obviously one man with a gun can't do anything. But people organizing together to show they mean business is another thing. Mass armed protest would put extreme pressure on the system. They could not risk using force against these people for fear of triggering a civil war (see: Boston Massacre) Then the truth would have to be heard by those who don't want to hear it. And no law would have to be broken. The key is to have mass armed protest. The chances of something going wrong would be too great to stop the protest.
The only out would be for the government to somehow call every participant a terrorist, and that would not fly today. But tomorrow it might. Something has to be done immediately.

"Insightful"
yeah a lot of critical thought went into this regurgitory statement
you're not just stupid, you're fucking crazy
"all you can do is watch it arrive"
"all you can do is wait for slow death"
or you could organize and destroy the status quo
good

I have no idea on what level you think this post would be clever
It's like your brainwashing commanded you to "do a barrel roll"

Everyone who complains about racism can't give a coherent definition as to what it is.
It's just whatever they feel like bitching about that they can force the "racial trigger words" into.
