DaemonFC[m]Daniel Peterson: It's kind of hard not to notice how criminal this administration is.Feb 22 02:18
DaemonFC[m]They do it in broad daylight since nobody will stop them.Feb 22 02:18
*smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has joined #techrightsFeb 22 02:18
DaemonFC[m]The impeachment created a bigger problem. It proved to Trump that the only Republican in the Senate that was worried about his criminal activities enough to go on the record about it was Mitt Romney.Feb 22 02:18
DaemonFC[m]The only way he can be removed is by being voted out.Feb 22 02:19
DaemonFC[m]There were supposedly 5-6 Republicans that might have stood up to him and all but one of them melted like butter in the microwave.Feb 22 02:19
DaemonFC[m]In the House, it was along party lines, unless you count Amash, who left the Republican Party because he's a conservative and they're a bunch of Nazis who aren't even remotely worried about the national debtFeb 22 02:20
DaemonFC[m]They say that the tax cut was designed to force deeply unpopular spending cuts later on, but that's not what's going to happen.Feb 22 02:22
DaemonFC[m]The truth is that the welfare-warfare state will keep chugging along, and the only difference is that we go full blown 200% debt-to-GDP Japan several years earlier so the rich can get a tax cut.Feb 22 02:22
DaemonFC[m]We'll get there for some of the same reasons (A LOT of old people suckling on Social Security and Medicare along with few young workers paying the taxes, especially since immigration was one of the few things keeping that end of the age spectrum going.) and some different reasons (Japan invested in infrastruture and they have a really good healthcare system, we just have a lot of expensive military shit laying aroundFeb 22 02:25
DaemonFC[m]collecting dust and a bunch of nuclear weapons that we can never afford to use.).Feb 22 02:25
*smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has left #techrightsFeb 22 02:25
DaemonFC[m]Daniel Peterson: Since Trump basically went there and showed that the president can declare an emergency over anything and it takes 2/3rds of Congress to terminate it, Sanders could declare a national emergency on healthcare, the environment, and plenty of other important issues, and the Republicans couldn't stop him.Feb 22 02:26
danielp3344spookyFeb 22 02:26
DaemonFC[m]He could spend the bloated Defense budget on it.Feb 22 02:26
danielp3344hehFeb 22 02:26
danielp3344that would be funFeb 22 02:27
cubexyzwhat was the debt to GDP ratio at the end of WWII I wonderFeb 22 02:27
DaemonFC[m]Take some money from the "overseas contingency budget" which is a slush fund that presidents use to do things like launch wars Congress never authorized all over the world and instead spend it on Medicare.Feb 22 02:28
*smnthermes (976c22869c@xmpp.snopyta.org) has joined #techrightsFeb 22 02:28
DaemonFC[m]The reason Republicans pass several military budgets instead of one is that that way it looks like we're spending $650-700 billion a year when the true cost is closer to $1.8 trillion.Feb 22 02:29
cubexyzDaemonFC[m], I think it was a bit higher in the early 1950sFeb 22 02:29
DaemonFC[m]It's like $700 billion baseline, then this amount for the nukes, and that amount for the "contingency fund", and this amount for the VA which is part of the military but gets put under "healthcare" as "discretionary spending".Feb 22 02:30
cubexyzdebt is 106.9% of GDP currently in the USFeb 22 02:30
cubexyzit was much much lower in the late 1960s to early 1970sFeb 22 02:31
DaemonFC[m]It's just insane how much we spend on the military. As a percentage of GDP, we now spend nearly double on the military vs. the height of the Vietnam War, in an economy that has more than quadrupled in size (So about 7-8 times.)Feb 22 02:31
DaemonFC[m]Then in return for that we get 6 wars that nobody wants and things like the Walter Reed Army Hospital Scandal.Feb 22 02:32
DaemonFC[m]3,000 tanks sitting in mothballs.Feb 22 02:32
DaemonFC[m]$2 trillion on a broken fighter jet called the Lightning that can't fly at night or near lightning or the whole thing malfunctions and crashes with the pilot in it.Feb 22 02:33

DaemonFC[m]The Republicans go "No, we're still not spending enough on the military.". If close to $2 trillion a year isn't enough, I'd like to know what is.Feb 22 02:33

DaemonFC[m]Eisenhower warned this would happen in his farewell speech.Feb 22 02:35
DaemonFC[m]He might not have known things would get as bad as Trump, but he feared that military spending would overtake infrastructure, healthcare, Social Security, and everything else, and let us be invaded with debt.Feb 22 02:35
cubexyzdebt to GDP was bad when Eisenhower was presidentFeb 22 02:38
cubexyzbut as I said, it was much better by the late 1960sFeb 22 02:38

DaemonFC[m]> debt to GDP was bad when Eisenhower was presidentFeb 22 02:57
DaemonFC[m]Causal deficits during the war. Things improved because of high taxes on the rich and corporations, Europe's economy ruined, and tech booms.Feb 22 02:57
DaemonFC[m]We have a military industrial complex, a prison boom because of the failed Republican drug war, a lot of old people, a dead economy where most people can't earn enough money to get through the week.Feb 22 02:58
DaemonFC[m]The debt can only go up in these circumstances.Feb 22 02:58
DaemonFC[m]Cutting Social Security and Medicare like Trump wants and cutting off immigration will hurt the deficit because of less taxpayers and less spending.Feb 22 02:59

schestowitzthis is majorFeb 22 18:50

schestowitzBeing cancelled is no fun. In my case, it was for standing for a friend who got canceled for defending someone else from an accusation that was later proven false.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzOccasionally, however, an opportunity to make fun of such a sad and frustrating situation arises, and then trolling the oppressors becomes irresistible.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzWhen my friend got canceled and asked me to take his place in our organization, I and my colleagues there got a copy of Orwell's 1984 from an anonymous donor (thanks!, mine was falling apart).Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzThe organization has just announced the schedule for a conference it organizes. I submitted a speech proposal, but I didn't even get a response. I'm told by people in the know that my speech was selected, but that there was concern I might speak in favor of the canceled person instead of the proposed topic, a freedom-compatible revamp of the portable telescreens nearly everyone else carries in their pockets or purses, so I got preemptiFeb 22 18:50
schestowitzcanceled as well. So much for an organization that fights for freedoms and human rights.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzAnyway, when announcing on social media the schedule in which I was disappeared, the organization published a picture of last year's conference, at a keynote that took place on 2019-03-25. There was I, very big guy at the front plane, sitting on the second row in a very discrete, barely noticeable (not) chromakey-green T-shirt I got from the Tor Project (thanks!), like a big green canvas in the audience just waiting to be replaced in tFeb 22 18:50
schestowitzI couldn't help the thought that this was indeed what'd happened to me in the conference schedule, and so the orders to Winston Smith's job at Minitrue, in Orwell's book's NewSpeak, came to mind.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzSo I posted a response in NewSpeak:Feb 22 18:50

schestowitzIn the language currently spoken in Oceania and elsewhere, that translates to:Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzA misprint in the Mar 25, 2019 issue of lptimes shows a canceled person of unorthodox opinions on the second row, not wearing a tux, poorly and incompletely edited into a chromakey background color. Undo the poor attempt to add to the picture a person who could not possibly have been there, since canceled people never existed, reprint the issue with the restored original version of the picture, and throw the remaining copy of the pictuFeb 22 18:50
schestowitzmemory hole.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzIf you were hopeful that "tuxfree" could mean something else, allow me to remind you that Linux-libre's "Free as in Freedo" slogan does not make sense in NewSpeak: in the process of eliminating the possibility of subversive thoughts, NewSpeak stripped from the word "Free" the meaning of political freedom, leaving only that of of absence or lack of something. A Freedom-free language for a Freedom-free society.Feb 22 18:50
schestowitzSee you where there is no darkness. Or not. If you get this, you are the brotherhood (or is it the resistance?) (see slides 9 and 10). Otherwise, maybe Big Brother is ''patching'' you.Feb 22 18:50
