The tolerance of intolerance leads to the loss of all freedom. You’d have to be either a fraud or a fool to try and sell the opposite as truth. So which are you?

Who are ya gonna believe, me; or your own eyes?

we want all folks to feel welcome

That’s another thing they’ll tell you, to add to your point. They’ll say general society, or lefties, are unwelcoming hypocrits for expressing the need for inclusion while not including fascists.

They’ll word the same opinions in a million ways until they find the way that gets you to allow them to continue blabbering intolerant bull crap.

In history terms, 3% is everything. I remember seeing a documentary where a guy claimed that every coup in history, in which 3% of the population were ardently dedicated to the cause, has been successful.

That’s the biggest reason a-holes tend to get their way in our world. Because good people rarely have the mentality that they need to put their foot down and control the menacing people. Compassion and empathy gone awry can lead to dire outcomes for compassionate and empathetic people.

Watch out, Jack. You remind me of a guy I grew up with, his name was Patty O’Neal, he sure could move I tell ya. Patty would line up all the neighborhood alley cats and feed 'em leftovers from the school cafeteria… So don’t sell me a flapjack and call it a donut.

It’s designed to be such an inconvenience to the point that you’re actually just incentivized to buy wireless headphones.

That business model becoming the norm is exactly why I hardly buy anything new these days. I’ll thrift, upcycle, reuse, hand-me-down, bargain for, get at the discount shop, commission from a local artisan, wait for the price to come down, and/or pick up from-the-curb items absolutely every time it’s possible. Simply avoiding these festering boils on the asscrack of our economy that are big businesses has become a daunting chore of its own… ‘He typed, into his smart phone’ I know, I know; I’m a dramatic bitch, but still.

Nothing matters to them, not even human life.

Never did. We’re just living in the ‘find out’ era, luckily for the people responsible; they were right… Most of them died before they could see the problems they were creating.

Until the good decide to drop the moral high ground and get ugly, the greedy will continue to crush humanity under the epic weight of their cruelty and indifference.

That’s the part everybody seems to be glossing over. These stones were supposed to be read by a burgeoning society post apocalypse, not our current world with 8 billion people. The non-existent world these stones speaks to would contain presumably less than the 500,000,000 people its author states is the maximum, and acts as a warning along the lines of ‘don’t destroy the Earth’s environment like we did, that’s what lead to our downfall, too many people’. Not to say that take is correct or not, just what I thought when reading about the stones the first time. Seems like environmentally political rhetoric to me.

Ye, and the Lord sayeth “Thou shalt leave the television on channel three, my child. Only then may the VCR fulfil its devine destiny”. And so it was. Amen.
