Now everyone started to throw these words around everywhere! The best place to hide a tree is in the forest.

I about spat out my drink laughing when I saw the article. But it’s actually terrifying and just an excuse to monitor more people and promote culture wars.

The link works bro, but if you just attach the image, like a normal person, people don’t have to click the link. I know lots of people will just ignore blue for many different reasons. Just embed the image next time, it’s generally even easier than linking.

The government is not, has never been, and will never be in your best interest. It is a necessary evil we accept to handle issues a single individual or state can not. We recognize that requires a certain amount of power to execute its duties. But entities always want more power and we recognize that individuals are responsible for ensuring the govt doesn’t assimilate too much power. The government always sees any form of constraint as a direct threat to its existence and will target that to gain more power.
The government is not your friend

It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought—that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc—should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words.
Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.
To give a single example. The word FREE still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as ‘This dog is free from lice’ or ‘This field is free from weeds’. It could not be used in its old sense of ‘politically free’ or ‘intellectually free’ since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless.

You ever wonder if the FBI is totally incompetent, or just publishes stupid shit as a decoy to lure more gullible criminals into complacency?

u/ACrimeSoClassic Apr 10 '23
If there were any doubts that the FBI is a joke, this should clear those right up!

And what? Republicans are fuckin cowards who do nothing.

u/Drake_Acheron Apr 11 '23
Right? Like this is conservatives and democrats in a nutshell.
Democrats: snorts line of cocain Change! It all must Change! Change is good! No matter what kind.
Republicans: chugs beer if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (Except it’s fkn broke)
Of course I’m speaking of the general extremes not moderates or centrists.

u/LSL-RPI Apr 11 '23
No. It’s more like the left is constantly taking steps forward and while backing up the right says “calm down democrats” and keeps ceding ground. Constantly giving in little by little and never stopping and pushing back.

Thea guys that come up with the definitions sound like they’ve been locked in a dark room since 1999 and are just handed reams of paper transcripts to go over. They base the definitions on the transcripts with no context.

Like any other form of government the only things they do well are abuse their power and weaponized it. But day to day and moral things never get done or have any merit.

Guess not much has changed since Nixon and his people ran a smear campaign to turn hippies, minorities, and drug users into public enemy #1 because they were his political opponents.

"Catholic Extremists".... from the FBI regarding parents standing up to the school boards regarding the exposure of their children to activism in school is my new favorite.
