And call that victory.

Step down.
Become finite.

Plant what you will never see harvested.

If you would guard what matters,

do not stand outside history and curse it.

Power that refuses limitation
burns brightly and briefly.

Love that accepts mortality
writes centuries.

Enter the field.
Accept the wound.

Care enough to be changed by what you’re protecting.

Lift what must be protected.
Seal what must be delayed.

Buy time.
Guard the seed.
Hold the line.

You will not finish the story.

Prepare the ones who will.

Rage is not a strategy.
Build something that lasts.

The long game is not weakness.
It is devotion stretched across time.

Do not wait to be above the world to care for it.

Stewardship is not distance.
It is entry.

Guy also wants to be able to take away citizenship from whoever he wants.

Explain to me how 'proving you're a citizen' is going to protect your ability to vote when he's choosing who gets to be a citizen.

The irony is that Cuba's child poverty rate may now be increasing because capitalism could not allow Cuba to have a low child poverty rate.

Turn everyone's Ring cameras into an AI-enabled tool to locate missing dogs / enemies of the Trump regime!

Sooo dystopian.

"AI is going to take our jobs"
doesn't mean
"AI is going to take ALL our jobs TOMORROW".

Ok so explain why you're fine with waiting to do anything about it?

No Kings includes Draft Kings

If you're a socialist and you're just doomscrolling or doomposting and neither actively building an alternative economy nor steering people toward this, then you're doing it wrong.

Don't leave biometric unlock enabled on your phones. Looking at YOU, journalists.

This is deeply troubling and leaves everyone wondering who is actually running our country?

You can do the same by locking them away, no?

And what of the pedophiles you haven't yet discovered?

I wasn't implying that the Chinese execution of these 3 was vigilantism; I was responding to Chet's "we need to be willing to kill" thing -- yeah, obviously, who wouldn't feel justified in using force to protect against aggression? -- but it sounded more like he was endorsing individual 7*r*ism.

or their root cause analysis as to why these 3 did this at all. Why these 3 and not others? "Because human nature, that's all, and that's why we need to execute them as a deterrent" is a shit answer.

If deterrence is what it is, I would wonder what the basis of their belief that it provides substantive deterrence vice prison or work camps is. Or, you know, the basis for their assumption that rehabilitation wouldn't work on these 3, or like, why castrating them wasn't an option;

Unless of course you find a more effective way.

Seems like they know very well how to handle violence.

I'm not saying avoid any situation whatsoever that could potentially result in violence from others, but I am saying that Prop of the D is counterproductive.

Retribution is a capitalist myth.

Deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation are justified.

Because in a place like China you don't need to, there are other options, and they aren't ultimately responsible for why they are the way they are. You're assigning personal blame for things that are just cause and effect from the system.

Yes, that's good, but execution is not the correct response

Especially in light of the fact pedophiles are products of the system that made them and there's no such thing as free will and there's no physical basis for free will to possibly exist. Anger looks pretty stupid. Dismay is more rational.

Why is this a sign of success? Why wouldn't they be in work camps instead of executed? I am disturbed by the reactionary attitude espoused by your post.

Act on your intentions.

Exactly this. My first reaction when I heard the name of it was you couldn’t be serious. “Homeland Security”? Straight out of dystopian science fiction and they just went with it. And now President Biff Tannen is sending secret police in stormtrooper outfits to Minnesota.

And depending on the data you use, statistics can be used to tell almost any story you desire to tell.

"There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics"
