Where Will You Be When the Jackbooted Non-Fascists Come for You

Indeed. It immediately set my mind to mentally playing a particularly ominous sounding song.

TIL Warpus is Deep Purple!

Disclaimer: The song really isn't about politics. At all.

What if this is the sort of music non fascists listen to? I wouldn't want to support their jackbooted ways.
 
When the leaves turn from green to brown
And autumn shades come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid

When winter leaves her branches bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling, will we still be there?
Oh Julia

But this is just the effect of continually asking "Why?". Very small children know how to do this perfectly.

All it means is that there's no ultimate reason for anything. We simply don't the why of it. Any of it.

And in the face of this kind of ignorance, what choice do we have? And we do have a choice to make, I think.

mumble, mumble, cryptofascists, mumble...

The point is that it won't usually take a continuous string of why...usually it just takes one. The immediate answer is almost invariably some form of 'because I have to', no matter what the question is about. People automatically paint themselves as the object of some form of external force that is 'making' them do whatever it is they are doing. It's as automatic as breathing.
 
Hmm. Yeah. I think you're right. The alternative is that they're actively choosing to do whatever it is they're doing. Which, if they don't actually enjoy it, is hard to accept.

If they could actually enjoy it, the difficulty would disappear. Not easy, though.
 
All I know is that jerks in the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Hard for them to accept.

Once again, consider that the opposite of oppression is responsibility. People automatically opt for 'I am oppressed' because it's less unpleasant than 'I am responsible'. It doesn't mean that they actually are oppressed. As I said 'Because I like to buy stuff' is just as accurate an answer as 'Because I have to pay my bills'...but it involves taking responsibility in the matter of why they are going to work.

if they come at night, hopefully CFC OT will give some warning, so I can make my escape.

but then again I would probably be caught while typing a reply to say it is just a conspirecey theory...

Yes. You and I don't disagree on this issue at all.

Taking responsibility for one's own situation is crucial, I think. And I have done for a long time. Thought so, that is. I can't claim to have succeeded completely.

It doesn't seem to have changed my situation at all, though. I don't think I expected it to.

And for some reasons unknown, both of them have paranoia about someone oppressing them. It's quite curious why so many people have this delusion.

have no idea what the OP says and not because it's some sort of rubbish but was simply cruisin' around until ı saw myself mentioned . Well , ı live in a country that's actually in 1984 . Admittedly a docile form of it but with enough clues of what might have been happening had the two winning sides had not fell on each other . Imagine what would it have been , had the Third Balkan War had taken place as planned in 2013 but ı really think we should stick to ı and stuff .

I thought the revolution would start from a bunch of cops in St. Louis? I got my sources wrong again.
 
Wait, what? Why would Jews want a world revolution? That seems quite detrimental, as it would make the world even more hostile than it is currently.
 
We're all on about something. For most part. Sometimes, we're just wandering around in circles around the thing we're talking, and sometimes, we're dead-on.

Case in this time: OP might be copying some troll, and is currently very masterfully attempting to troll us. Currently, however, we're all asking questions and whatnot. Socrates and whatnot.

I am also bantering without anything to say.
