[02:00] IsambardPrince So there's that. [02:00] IsambardPrince There's a US Senate race on the ballot, all five statewide elected state government offices, and a bunch of locals. [02:01] IsambardPrince The locals didn't attract any Republican candidates but there were a lot of Libertarians, including for Cook County Board President, Sheriff, and Clerk. [02:01] IsambardPrince So I voted for the Libertarians in the locals. [02:01] IsambardPrince I got a cramp in my arm from voting to remove 50 judges.

[02:03] IsambardPrince MinceR, No. [02:03] IsambardPrince The Libertarian Party is for minimal government intervention. [02:04] IsambardPrince The Republicans are authoritarian fascists who absolutely want a big government. [02:04] IsambardPrince Especially the parts that hurt people. [02:04] IsambardPrince The Libertarians are for gay rights, drug decriminalization, and a permissive immigration system. [02:04] IsambardPrince And against foreign intervention. [02:05] IsambardPrince I also voted NO on a $53 million tax increase proposed by the parks department. [02:05] MinceR the "republicans" talk a lot about "small government" too, it's just that eventually one finds out that somehow enforcing the "republicans"' favorite cult's rules against people who didn't ask for it fits very well in that "small" government [02:06] MinceR somehow regulating the excesses of the corporations run by the "republicans" and their friends doesn't, though [02:06] IsambardPrince They worded the referendum to go on for an entire paragraph before mentioning it would cost $53 million and interest.

[02:07] MinceR the other apes are better about this, at least they don't lie all the fucking time. [02:07] IsambardPrince I like parks but I don't like $53 million bond issues to pay full price to people with otherwise worthless property who should lose it under Eminent Domain laws. [02:09] IsambardPrince This project wouldn't even cost $20 million if the government came in and said "look assholes, you have an empty factory that's been sitting there complete with a parking lot for 20 years and we're taking it. Here's your check for the land value." [02:11] MinceR so, what's the LP's plan regarding the park? [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[03:06] parsifal Earlier, I touched upon propaganda as a technique. Naturally, politics is another name for the art of lying. [03:06] parsifal If Comrade Vovka (Putin) had told the Russians what awaited them after the elections, everyone would have voted for the opposition, but he didn't do that, because he isn't an idiot, or at least not a complete one.... [03:06] parsifal Because then, even the massive electoral manipulations that took place during these elections, such as the disqualification of most /Yabloko candidates - would not have helped. [03:07] parsifal A package of extremely unpopular measures was voted through, including across the board hikes in taxes, fees, and VAT, and the largest military budget since the start of the war in Ukraine was adopted for 2027, amounting to 17 trillion Russian rubles (approximately 180 billion), but most likely more will be spent. [03:07] parsifal To top it all off, general mobilization is set to be introduced, the question is not if, but when, though it will be soon. [03:07] parsifal So, how can you avoid lying to the electorate, those sheep meant for shearing and slaughter?

People spent it immediately, on a new flat screen or paying down credit card debt, but the point was it was gone, and then as soon as you filed your tax return the next year it said "Did you get a check for $800? Yes? Add $800 to your taxes." basically. [20:24] IsambardPrince [20:24] IsambardPrince I thought that was funny.

[23:00] IsambardPrince Murray says: "Too early for flapjacks?" [23:00] IsambardPrince Then it cuts to a cell door slamming. [23:00] IsambardPrince Then the universe resets and the alarm goes off again. [23:01] IsambardPrince He can do whatever he wants because the time loop starts all over again at 6 AM.
