mircea_popescu: Had Orson Scott Card’s novel Ender’s Game existed
then, I might have been one of its biggest fans. I would have been enraptured by
the story of
the innocent who is persecuted despite his innocence, perhaps even because of it.
The superior child whose virtues are not recognized.
The adults who fail
to protect.
The vicious bullies who get away with
their bullying.
That was
the world as I saw it in seventh grade. "
mircea_popescu: "Over
the years I have
told a number of friends

These women exist solely
to be victimized, so
that you can murder
the bad guys without any scruple."

the police state is concerned, nobody else is good anything. just listen

thing is fascinating eh asciilifeform ?
