what’s the word for a thing that worms its way into your life, makes you depend on it, then uses that to exploit and damage you?

there’s a word for that.

what cities should be VS what cities are.

it WAS dealt with pretty quick, but yeah I bet it’s still pretty absurd, even if they at least ask… some questions?

no, mine is broken right now.

yes but that’s not how they wrote it, because christians wouldn’t be christians if they were properly literate.

wouldn’t shock me

basic state logic.

they’re incapable of sucking less. their whole episteme is about centralizing, about reducing thought the farther it gets from the central authority (whether that’s one guy, a class, or a building like the pentagon), but you CAN increase violence, threaten, flatten, disable, basically wherever.

for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.

getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.

of course.

it wouldn’t shock me

like I said; wouldn’t shock me.

have you heard of ‘hinduism’? pretty sure this is just, like, cannon.

now if you really want to go nuts with it, find a hindu community in mexico.

I think the greeks may have also had something like this but it was kinda cringe if it happened.

okay but without fear isn’t there no morality? and, like, if nobody’s suffering, is there really such a thing as justice? if there’s not at least one child in a basement being tortured and treated like dirt, can you even call it a society? I mean, obviously the optimal number of people being horrible tortured in society is “everyone but me, in the sickest ways I can imagine”, but, y’know, progress is progress

-every fascist

I feel like, the modern approach, if one reads the bible, believes it, and isn’t a sick perv or completely nuts, is misotheism.

okay but it’s cool for me to not hate evil, right?

if not sure, try:

speaking to the head satanist talking to the cops who are SO EVIL (i mean, yes, but I don’t see how that correlates to a time of year) increase murder (maybe good dependign on who) child abuse (please don’t, what the fuck is wrong with these disgusting freaks that they can’t even suggest having a good time without hurting someone who doesn’t deserve it, as if the injustice and suffering are the fucking point of everything they do?), worship satan (you do you, but it could be fun, im willing to try)!

I don’t know if that’s how they meant it to be read, but it’s how I read it.

im not sure its abuse? I know at first they were just collecting cat poop in the wild.

it being abuse wouldn’t shock me, but it seems like the only thing necessary to make this is just, like, the civets eating stuff they normally eat, then collecting their poop.

eating cat poop: 👎 drinking cat poop: 👍

yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.

they outnumber the ‘tech crowd’ because we use technology to infantilize outselves, of which this is a prime example.
