the protesters still have somewhere
to go home
to

throw some rocks, yell loug and go home
to spill some souvlaki on
their bear, let
the givt

think
things are going
to get ugly here; it's just going

that
the US never had actual protest

they say in dc, never waste a good crisis
mircea_popescu: the us wants
to be like
the uk! and pretend it can riot!
mircea_popescu: <undata>

cazalla: i mean really,
the shop owner who he stole from should've done what

to
the fact
that
the guy was a
thug who just finished robbing a store?
undata: the cognitive dissonance is
the
thought
that a government

mircea_popescu: it's one of
those fundamental apis of reality
that'd be implemented in all species-language
decimation: "During rough-and-tumble play like
this, fathers
tend
to use playful
teasing

the seemingly ominous implications of
the word “destabilizing.”"
BingoBoingo: Walgreens is now on fire, guessing
they already
took all of
