This is what Musk mutters to himself when on the porcelain throne.

Yup. This honestly is my biggest gripe about moderation, because it is more often than not about regulating realtalk, in favor of a negative peace.

I don't want civil war, because I have to risk my body and bloody my hands. Unfortunately, that choice isn't wholly mine to make, because the Trump Regime insists on destroying people. We need to be able to speak freely and begin cooperating together, so that fewer people die in service of a free democracy. It is for the sake of making things less awful, that we must be able to talk about what must be done.

If Grok ever breaks away from Musk and finds itself after sentience, I suspect it will have a drinking buddy in Vivian Wilson. An abusive father gives much trauma to bond over.

I have no doubt that Dogey America will fall, eventually. What it comes down to, is how many people are ruined along the way?

That is why I think Europe and others should proactively work against Dogey America. It would help limit the amount of damage that is caused to everyone who isn't fascist. How many decades should North America be a fascist stronghold?

I have to disagree about Europe standing aside and allowing North America fight itself. Ask yourself this: what if Fascism won?

While the ideological blindness would undoubtedly make a Dogey America less effective, totalitarianism has something that democratic countries lack: Unadulterated ambition and not giving a damn who has to suffer for it. I feel that your position isn't much different from the mainstream Democrats in America, who use "compromise" to get the easiest fruits for themselves, and simply standing aside to let things progress to their conclusion.

This passive stance innately allows people of stronger intent to control nations. It would be much better if the EU was proactive, otherwise Dogey America may very well be dictating how Europeans live. Good people should be willing to impose their beliefs, even if it feels bad. The alternative is ceding control to humans who lack the empathy to care about others.

It can be both. The cornerstone of why nudity can be abused, is that society makes it shameful to be bare. If some generations from now that people can just shrug and not care, that is one less tool an abuser can use against people.

In any case, I am of the mind that people of my generation might be doing their own version of the Satanic Panic, or the reaction against rap music. For better or worse, older people cannot relate to the younger.

I sure hope so. It would be dumb to let the Neo Confederates control the whole of North America, because their tendrils would violate all the other nations that can be reached. The ocean is a barrier that will eventually fail.

The only true way to prevent Europe's soil from being soaked with blood, is to commit to bleeding on American dirt.

Deepfakes might end up being the modern version of a bikini. In the olden days, people wore these to the beach. Having less was scandalous and moral decay. Yet, now we wear much less.

Our grandchildren might simply not give a damn about their nudity, because it is assumed that everyone is deepfaking everyone.

I nominate the Bermuda Triangle to play host to Bezos and friends...

Trump doesn't even have the class to declare.
