Wed May 19 2021 12:07:40 AM EDT from ParanoidDelusionsOh... we may have been off-track.
But that was the event that was the catalyst for the centralization of Federal authority and the erosion of independent State rights that got us where we are today.
Things *could* have gone another way. They didn't.
Tue May 18 2021 18:12:22 EDT from Nurb432Ah, yes i can see how one would think that. A lot changed due to that war.
But many of us believe we lost our way far earlier, and that entire mess was just a result of that drift.
Long time ago I pulled up a trot line from a river we never caught fish from and there was one catfish on it which proceeded to flip off the hook and roll back into the water. It must have been the only fish in the river, LOL!
So, I have mixed emotions about this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bgsARH_1aw&t=546s
I wish the Democrats hadn't made me such a cynic - because the girl is obviously bad-ass, loves shredding on the skins, and has an incredible presence when she is doing what she loves.
But it is hard for me to believe that this is organic and unscripted. It fits too many of the narratives of the Left to perfectly.
It breaks down gender stereotypes - a girl can't play the drums.
It breaks down ethnic stereotypes - black people don't like hard rock and can't shred as good at it as white folks.
It breaks down age stereotypes.
And the fact that Dave Ghrol has been doing this "bring an unknown on the stage and have them blow away the audience with their professional level skills," thing for so long further erodes its credibility. It almost seems as if every other example before was building up to *this* - that *this* wouldn't have been believable without the previous performances by more "believable" guest amateur appearances.
The fact that the Foo Fighters consistently play Democrat functions, fund-raisers, and other events further destroys the believability that this isn't a full scripted, fully planned, fully rehearsed performance constructed *intentionally*.
That it is just bread and circuses, theater to push more of the agenda of critical race theory and identity politics.
But even cynically *knowing* all of these things - the performance is still moving. It is what the Right is up against - something that your rational brain tells you is all just a show - not *really* real...
That the Democrats went out and scoured for the best young black female drummer they could find in the country, and then spent endless resources to make her even better, specifically at this song, then arranged with Ghrol and the Foo Fighters to have her do exactly this, well-staged guest performance, to be captured and distributed, just believably enough with a shaky, badly framed phone camera to add authenticity to it. This girl is really no different than a Chinese gymnast who had the entire mechanism of the state focused on making sure that she was the *best* example the nation could produce at any cost - not just economic ones, but psychological and developmental ones, too.
This girl has been turned into a propaganda machine for the American Left. She'll do guest appearances on late night TV. She'll be at rallies. She'll be made into a celebrity to promote the agenda of the political Left at any cost - and she'll be rewarded, her family will be rewarded, for her sacrifice. But she'll probably give up everything a child should genuinely experience in the process.
Another Greta Thunberg. The left weaponizes children to achieve their political goals.

Just because you have ParanoidDelusions doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
But, is it delusional if you are right?

There is a word for what they're doing... a big $10 word - that is on the tip of my tongue - but I can't verbalize it. Using people with complete disregard for their humanity - the most contemptible and deceptive exploitation of people.
And it is worse because in many cases the people signing up for this, signing their children up for this - think they're doing a GOOD thing, the RIGHT thing.
Not a lot about humanity's inhumanity to man bothers me a lot - but this kind of thing is so base and evil - in part because it exploits your desire to want it to be true...
I just find that I can't come up with the words to fully express my revulsion to it.
Today in Perfectly reasonable and rational perspectives that I am hesitant to post on mainstream social media but still need to get off my chest somewhere:
This post was so long that it prompted me to log in with the web client to reply. So congratulations for that. Now enjoy my utter incompetence with the rich text editor.

The same people who will insist that Kyle Rittenhouse should have gotten away without using lethal force, that he shouldn't even have been there - will insist that THIS woman had every right to be in a virtual environment and shouldn't have had to run away from her fantasy-world attackers - which was done as easily as just pulling her headset off and closing down the app. That is all she had to do to end the assault - and she claims instead she "froze" and experienced the whole ordeal and that it was psychologically traumatic to her. They'll support stand-your-ground in Virtual Realities and Online Communities - but in the real world, they'll argue that it was Kyle Rittenhouse's fault for being where he shouldn't have been (ignoring the fact that if Kyle was a woman and had been the victim of attempted rape - they would be outraged).
What they need is some sort of Rating System or Seal of Safety that virtual destinations can put on the portal into those worlds. "We adhere to the K-12 Seal of VR Safety Approval."
The article gave me the impression that invitations to this world were sent to 18+ recipients. I think that such a seal of safety did exist, and she knowingly stepped through it by her own volition.
In seriousness, this sort of segregation does exist. It's the reason why I prefer mediums like IRC, Citadel, or similar. Myspace and Facebook and Twatter - while vile cess pools - do have their place. They serve as honey pots for the unwashed masses. The "social media" that I use generally benefits from self selection. Now if we could just keep this crap out of the news so that we could ignore the adult children entirely, then we could achieve Utopia.
Haptive-feedback bodysuits are coming. And you can already buy 'interactive sex toys' ( nothing new, just now they are Bluetooth and internet enabled.. ) and other things like gloves that give you physical feedback from your game. Even game controlled shock collars are availble.
Not that i agree with these 'acts' being labeled as such, just commenting that the 'interaction' can be remotely ( pun intended ) physically interactive today, and options will only increase.. And im sure the woke will adjust to incldue them when they need to.
Moreover, I would like to know the specific mechanics of her "rape." In every online game I've ever played, you can't actually physically interact with other players, but rather your avatar just moves through their avatar.
Yeah, but these things are fairly sophisticated, and require plug ins and scripting in the environment in order to pass through. I doubt the Metaverse base environment has this without a lot of opting in involved.
She would have certainly had to give permission to some requester, "Let other avatars interact and activate your haptic feedback devices."
And once more... she is the VP of a VR company.
The haptic stuff is expensive and most of it is pre-release at the moment too... so - she would have to run into 3 people with those things, and have them herself, with everyone opted in to full interactive mode with one another - for anything PHYSICAL to have occurred.
It stinks of a publicity stunt *and* a push to be able to better monitor, control, and limit the experience of players online.

Didn't mean it was common, just that it does exist. And as Zucker's perversion of our metaverse happens, stuff like that will come down in price, and be more main stream.
( Reduction of prices and better hardware, due to larger demand for better equipment is the ONLY thing i see that is good. So far we are a nice market, and thus have to suffer with sub-par hardware and in many cases, software. We have had to live with 1/2 baked solutions like google cardboard. ( which was nice, dont get me wrong, but never advanced beyond what was introduced )
In a world where a man can be a woman, a woman can be a man, you
can be any ethnicity you want, any age, good looking or ugly, short
Whoppi Goldberg can be any ethnicity she wants. (She's been lying about being Jewish throughout her career)
but YOU can't ;-p
I *can* be a white woman, if I want. They'll allow me to change my gender and my sexual preference all I want - and if I do... I suddenly get protected minority status.
It is the ONLY path they give to a straight white male to be part of the new order. Emasculate yourself.
Did you read about the TG that was convicted of sexual assault on a minor and because "she" has transitioned and committed the offense as an adolescent - she has to be held in a GIRL'S juvenile facility?
You can't make this up. California. "This guy who molested an underaged girl now identifies as a girl, so we're going to lock HER up with a bunch of underaged girls."
They promise to keep her isolated from other prisoners. Like, you know, how they kept Manson separated from the general population, until he got left in the yard and a bunch of gangbangers beat the shit out of him.

Yeah, but this time when the prison guards fuck up and leave the dude who is supposed to be isolated in the yard when they also let general population out... it isn't going to be Manson getting banged up by a bunch of gangbangers looking for credibility...
It is going to be some dude who claims he is a girl banging an inmate.

To me its someone who is in prison for hurting a child. Don't matter what orientation you are, you are scum and should burn.

Let me clarify...
They're putting a man, who now identifies as a woman, in a juvenile hold facility for GIRLS, because he assaulted a girl when he was a minor.
It feels to me like locking up a guy guilty of stealing candy in a Hershey's factory because he claims he identifies as a Reese's cup.
If he gets the opportunity to steal more candy while locked in that factory - at that point - YOU put him there, right? It just doesn't seem like the most well executed crime and punishment scenario.
Kind of like reassigning a Priest accused of abuse to an orphanage. "We'll show YOU, Father McNasty!"

I must have missed the part of putting an adult with children. I thought it was just women's prison, where he will be taught a lesson, so to speak.
Nope. He committed the crime when he was 17, and somehow they screwed up on prosecuting him, and the California law says that although he is now a she and she is now an adult, the crime was a juvenile offense and therefore the convicted has to serve their punishment at a juvenile facility - in this case - one that matches their gender identity.
So, they're punishing a man who now identifies as a woman - who sexually assaulted a 10 year old girl when she was a 17 year old HE - by incarcerating "her" in a holding facility where they imprison underaged girls.
What could possibly go wrong? They may have to drag her out when she completes her sentence.
