"We need a change in societal attitude, where we no longer applaud or tolerate assaults on privacy, personal attacks on public figures and, most of all, those public invasions of privacy that amount to sexual assault, whether committed by the old media or the internet." #HeatherMarsh#BindingChaos
Every Republican who goes on the Sunday shows tomorrow should be pressed to denounce this illegal and authoritarian proclamation from the president. And none of this "I didn't read the tweet" bullshit.
"...all of the lobby groups attempting to control the internet, strip privacy and anonymity, and manage access are from the groups who would no longer be required if everyone had a voice." #HeatherMarsh in #BindingChaos
...The true information that reaches the public is more than drowned out by the equally huge industry of misinformation being produced and distributed by the same public organizations." #HeatherMarsh in #BindingChaos
"A huge industry has built up around filtering, hoarding, spinning and occasionally doling out to the public in innocuous bits without context, all information about organizations and actions which effect the public... #HeatherMarsh in #BindingChaos
"It is essential for participatory government that organizations which affect the public be transparent to the public. Without full information, people are incapable of making the decisions required to participate in their own governance." ( #HeatherMarsh in #BindingChaos)
"The fact that the legal system has remained so archaic strongly suggests that it is meant to remain inaccessible and subjective as that is best serving the interests of those in power."
...Promoting feminism creates a power struggle with masculinism and leaves minorities such as transgendered people still fighting for their rights. Rejecting all the -ism’s brings equality."
"Group affiliation behind individual voices allows listeners to reject ideas before hearing them. Labeling an idea as coming from The Left or The Right is enough for many people to refuse to listen to it at all." #HeatherMarsh#BindingChaos#Anonymous
Hey Mike, do you know the #Holochain project? They are creating a trully unenclosable internet. No DNS. No centralized servers. Only individual nodes communicating directly. Take a look: www.holochain.org
"Democracies have not eradicated oligarchy; they have driven it to secrecy, a state of affairs ironically most abhorrent in a democracy. Instead of confronting the problems inherent in an oligarchy, democracy denies it exists while practicing it openly." 1/2 #HeatherMarsh#BindingChaos#Anonymous
"Where the representative falls short in knowledge or experience, they then have the authority to hire the needed expertise, providing a perfectly fertile ground for corruption and cronyism, as well as incompetence."
Sorry, but #HeatherMarsh is spot on about the perils of democracy, in #BindingChaos.
"‘True’ democracy is at best only one step removed from ochlocracy or mob rule. In a society where the majority create the laws, the laws can always be changed to allow for the Salem witch trials"
"Corporate ownership of our communication tools will cause us to yet again relinquish control to a landlord. Corporate sponsored voice amplification will lead to corporate controlled oligarchy."
...While the internet has many current structural problems that are hindering collaboration, the internet community is yet a generation ahead in experimenting with many of these concepts."
This is what #Holochain was created for: freedom from DNS!
"The internet created an environment where it was possible to collaborate in ways that had never been tried before, to experiment with global participation, anonymity, a money free society, idea driven projects (...) #HeatherMarsh#Anonymous#BindingChaos 1/2
By uttering those words on CNN he will triggering all the viewers and once this clip is posted on the other place or here, people will post outraged comments and elevate his discourse even more until kit reaches the right wing who will then celebrate & feel emboldened. Mission accomplished. 3/3
Dana asks if he would cut rates as fed chair, if Trump demanded it. Instead of answering the Q, Bassent corrects Dana’s premisse by saying “it is not the chair who cuts rates, but the committee”. 1/3
Bessent: "The president is probably the most economically sophisticated president we've had in 100 years, maybe ever. He has a view on rates and he makes them known, just like Sen. Warren makes her known."

This is one of the most important distinctions we need to understand: how the right and the left use language differently, what are the consequences and how not to get played by the right-wing use of language here and on any media.
