To me, it seems that trauma is an essential tool to build our civilization. Trauma allows people to identify with trauma in other people, or situations in general. People without trauma see other people suffering and feel bad for them, but they cannot identify with them.

This is important for civilization because the processes of society have to be understood and sometimes have to be healed which requires that some people can identify with the problems.

So to have civilization, there needs to be a constant stream of trauma to have enough people who can show the problems so that we can fix the problems of society.

It’s a bit circular that there are problems to fix problems.

Is it evil to cause that system of trauma? That depends on the answer of is it good to have civilization?

You can’t exploit capitalists. Hate alone is not enough.

It could also be a warning against importing foreign workers to build ambitious projects because social cohesion could collapse.

(This is not meant as an argument against a pluralistic society)

Is there a way that I can enforce this as root to all of my users?

Still the future I want. Stealing doesn’t matter if there are enough free hats. Not having to be responsible for property would be nice.

Isn’t therapy there to be able to heal and not to forget? The last session should mean that the client is not traumatised again.

The expectation of retaliation for not paying is a perfect setup. The decline of the card could be intentional, just for the client to realize in a deeply emotional situation that the dark memory doesn’t hurt anymore. The wide eyes, I want to believe that it comes from the bewilderment that the familiar, expected pain is gone.

It’s anything about which people are in denial, be it the need for capitalism, the western role in Ukrain, the environmental impact of a single consumer, the validity of political objectives of the opposition, the impact of immigration, …

My ultimate opinion is that we need to step back and notice that the denial is built on purpose and that the goal can’t be to push for the victory of the own team. There needs to be understanding of the underlying problems that includes the view of the other teams to change the mechanisms that create them.

If we can’t do that then all the manipulation is already the best strategy to force humanity into progress.

London. Thanks to the artefacts in the British Museum, nobody will dare to throw bombs there.

It’s not. The story about mars allowed Musk to build the rockets to launch the StarLink satellites.

Given the preparation for war with China, can we exclude that those satellites carry payloads to take down intercontinental missiles?

Otherwise the USA could feel safe and be willing to engage in a nuclear war.

It will be a boring name.

I just wanted to stress that the problem is the treatment. People are often ok with treating prisoners badly.

horror stories about people being caught up wrongly in the deportation

You mean people who are caught up rightfully in deportation are treated with dignity, right? Right?

It sounds harmless but the ‘just’ masks the difficulty. The downvotes of the critical comments show that people are not willing to look at the problems. Should a solution be guessed by divine inspiration? MAGA is the easy answer. You cannot reject Trump and still demand an easy solution.

Do Finnish people know what happiness is, though?

It could be like death and stupidity and they can’t tell.

Thanks. I should have known.

To your believes: Welcome to the end of the Sovjet Union.

We are living in a consumer society because people want to be free without being free. Which interestingly allows ‘libertarians’ to exist because common workers don’t want to be quotation-mark-free libertarians and defend their freedom.

I like how the development of the word makes your point. The word lost its meaning and became kind of an insult. How can the working class not be grifted when they lose the words to analyze their situation?

The problem with tyranny.gov is that the ‘libertarians’ of today will become the officers and ministers of tyranny.gov. So instead of calling them ‘libertarians’ we should call them something else or everything will stay the same just with new names.

Then they are not libertarians but something else. This doesn’t make those people less problematic, though.

As the name implies, libertarians want to be free.

Tyranny.gov rules by law which prohibits what you are allowed to do and thus think, thus limiting freedom.

Tyranny.com has no laws, just costs, which can be restructured by a single person. Thus the person feels free.

Joke aside, this is a good question.

Smithers, is that you?
