@tex_cynic@RadioFreeTom But you seem to be attached to a great many of those.
Rules in ANY Rules-Based System aren’t a choice.
Try telling a court its rules are powerless.
Just because you may be too stubborn, ignorant, or just plain stupid to understand doesn’t make you immune to the rules.
@tex_cynic@RadioFreeTom Try telling that to a court, an election worker, or gravity.
Or an unfamiliar computer you are handed and told to recover all data in the pROM dealing with the clock settings at each accessing of a set of memory locations via a given data port.
Claiming immunity is a delusion.
@deanteamscene@PcklessPentiful @AGAndrewBailey No one does.
You keep repeating a lie as if it is true, simply because it justifies your bigotries (or worse).
@deanteamscene@nolonger2old @AGAndrewBailey Only you wouldn’t.
And you are either gullible and mislead, dishonest and a liar, or a moronic idiot if you believe otherwise.
Debt relief doesn’t force anyone to pay anything.
See Trump’s 6+ Bankruptcies where $$$BILLIONS in debt just vanished.
@nolonger2old@deanteamscene @AGAndrewBailey Student Loan Forgiveness doesn’t force you, nor anyone else, to pay their loans.
Only idiots, morons, duplicitous liars, or the naive and gullible who accept the lies of the previous group claim otherwise.
@deanteamscene @AGAndrewBailey You wouldn’t.
This is like the moronic idiocy of thinking providing free healthcare would “steal” from Doctors.
Banks forgive Billions in Loans every year that they just write-off, and charge no one else for.
Except you, who pays in the form of the Tax Relief of the bank.
@AGAndrewBailey How humane of you to celebrate saddling people with enormous debts for something that should be a Right.
That you were denied that Right is not a reason to continue denying it to others.
Two wrongs do not make a Right, despite some people current claims otherwise.
@WrenDerminott @kingsrush Then LEARN THE RULES.
Would you try to program a VCR or just set the freaking clock so it didn’t blink 12:00…12:00…12:00…12:00… WITHOUT at least looking at the Manual???
Otherwise, everything you do will have a vastly greater chance of destroying everything.
@tex_cynic@RadioFreeTom You are literally trying to do the equivalent of telling someone who has worked in AI their entire life that they know nothing about Programming because you have a VCR you’ve managed to get the clock set on, instead of blinking 12:00…12:00…12:00…
@steve0hornback @kingsrush If you do not KNOW THE RULES…
It is literally impossible to do anything BUT FAIL.
Sort of like being handed a Computer or VCR that you know nothing about, and being told “Make a map of the Data on this” or “Record this Program on Thurs evening at 8pm, PST.”
Impossibilities.
@steve0hornback @kingsrush And this is regardless of whether any given person is too stupid, too bigoted, too insane, too apathetic, or too hateful to accept that reality.
Like Gravity: You have no choice regardless of what you may “Believe” (Beliefs are not Facts).
@steve0hornback @kingsrush And…
The Rules of the System say it wouldn’t matter if Biden was a Brain Dead Soap Dish.
It is no different than Filing your Taxes, or Designing an Airplane.
THE RULES make it such that certain choices have FEW TO NO OPTIONS.
Electoral Rules/Law produce the same things.
@ByChrisBrennan@USATODAY I had asked about Arendt and Popper because they address the issue of “Legitimacy of Concerns” in terms of people who ARE EXPRESSING a “Might Makes Right” form of Ideology, or are otherwise seeking to eliminate a “Scapegoat population” (See Arendt’s “Eliminative Language”).
@mjenk62@ByChrisBrennan@USATODAY No such thing exists.
And you JUST CONFIRMED his thesis: That the Political Right is driven by Political Violence and the desire to kill everyone “Not them.”
Which never works out, as the definition of “Not them/us” always becomes narrower as others are eliminated.
