Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take

Seems to me that Brian Boyko got the last laugh. Pack it in, Goonailures.

"The system" refers to grifting.

And now I guess it's a good thing this thread hadn't been goldmined (yet), because then we wouldn't be making these posts.

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

Well this is good news, if Brian Boyko and Lawrence Lessig get their $5m to put into politics, then there won't be money in politics anymore.

Hey, if people are willing to give thousands of dollars to buy pants, why not blow $5 million on a slush fund war chest against the Kochs and friends billions of dollars?

Everyone's bashing this idea but I don't see what they've got that's any better. Some have even said that "taking money out of politics" doesn't do enough, but that seems like precisely the solution.

I think that everyone's bashing the man behind it more than anything.

its still a dumb idea; but the only reason everyone remembers this thread is because boyko is loving weird.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
