  1. Yeah, totally. Here's a new slogan for you:

    Anthropogenic mass extinction - what could possibly go wrong??!!

  2. "CRISPR-Cas9 is not a human invention."

    More stupid semantic games.

  3. "How long do you think it will be before one gets made with our number on it, intentionally, or not?"

    I have no doubt that as we speak fine mad scientists, at Monsanto and elsewhere, are hard at work on this pressing issue.

  4. Many of us would argue that pumping almighty fucktons of little-understood exotic poisons into the environment is the "whacko" thing to do.

    Real conservatives like to _conserve_ the environment. The religious folks call it "stewardship" and it's a damned good idea.

    Or, agitate for the iron boot of the State to STOMP on Creepy Facebook.

    Mark Zuckerberg - in jail.

    Cheryl Sandberg - in jail.

    Facebook's servers - shut down.

    Facebook's data - deleted.

    Facebook's programmers - in the unemployment line.

    Big Brother Google has set itself up as gatekeeper for their app stores, but has no apparent interest in keeping malware out.

    It's like a bouncer at a party who let's all sorts of thugs and armed hoodlums through the door. But then violently bounces your nerdy friend with strong political opinions.

    Mass media propaganda conditions people to love the taste of bootleather.

    "Never mind that with 120,000 (!?!) extensions a HUGE number of these have to be malware of some description."

    Browse the Chrome extension store, or the Android Play Store, for a couple minutes. I estimate they're both about 98% malware. Yet somehow these things are all Google-approved and allowed to remain in the "stores".

    Big Brother Google takes our privacy, seriously.

    "All it takes for reform is that we elect people interested in reform."

    Those people aren't allowed on the ballot.

    "Anti-vaxxers never have discussions."

    If that's true, then why do forced-vax nazis spend so much effort trying to silence public discussion about vaccination risk?

    Nah... If there's one thing Corporate Progressive nazis hate as much as freedom of speech, it's honesty.

    Forced-vax nazis apparently think a digital public square without freedom of speech is "free enough".

    Do you also support "free speech zones"?

  19. My brother - you know those streets I mentioned, where it's unsafe to walk at night? They're positively bristling with surveillance cameras. Mass surveillance does NOTHING to protect ordinary citizens.
