Uh, I found out today that most of the active mods on r/legaladvice aren’t actually lawyers or law students or even amateur law enthusiasts, but cops instead. One of the cop mods there deleted the text of a post about police officers shooting a service dog, and also deleted a lot of replies to it to. This was all posted in the anti-cop subreddit, and now the mod is in there arguing with people.

Looking through the post histories of the mods is a little disconcerting, lots of thin blue line stuff and offense at even the slightest of insults towards police officers. Makes me wonder how many people in r/legaladvice were given intentionally bad legal advice to make law enforcement’s job easier.

Also makes me a wonder if I should seek a second opinion on all this blood I keep coughing up, r/medicaladvice told me to not to worry about it but they share an uncomfortable number of mods with r/funeraladvice.

This is pretty hosed up if true. Also the post itself weirdly coincides with goons rapidly changing the subject with some good old fashioned slap fighting. Maybe Mage Mage and Sid Vicious are cops running a gaslight op? Ban them both just to be safe.

People seem to love taking over subreddits that should rightfully belong to their opponents, so it makes perfect sense that policemen have hijacked the one about legal advice.

seems like it's just a reflection of their guy being in power, but no pedophiles are being locked up, so instead of seeing their Trump God as a failure, it all must be happening on the down low, because Trump is playing 7d checkers in their mind, remember how Democrats talked about Obama playing the long con 8d chess bullshit?

okay but i smoked a lot of hash oil before i wrote it and honestly its not interesting or unique and its all obvious

the MCU are just another manifestation of something that has been a problem since the turn of the 20th century (and arguably before that, but it became pronounced with the advent and proliferation of advertising and "mass culture"), exacerbated severely by the fundamentally censorious and homogenized nature of capitalist media. by functioning within a Liberal mileu, both economically and culturally, capitalist art tends to reify and apologize for the status quo and in doing so typically loses whatever elements of transgression or originality that make art something more than mere compelling entertainment.

this whole thing is worth reading but philosophers identified the relationship between an increasingly stagnant, industrialized monoculture and the sort of perpetual inability to actually engage in revolutionary (or meaingfully reformist) mass politics in the west

quote:

But any trace of spontaneity from the public in official broadcasting is controlled and absorbed by talent scouts, studio competitions and official programs of every kind selected by professionals. Talented performers belong to the industry long before it displays them; otherwise they would not be so eager to fit in. The attitude of the public, which ostensibly and actually favours the system of the culture industry, is a part of the system and not an excuse for it. If one branch of art follows the same formula as one with a very different medium and content; if the dramatic intrigue of broadcast soap operas becomes no more than useful material for showing how to master technical problems at both ends of the scale of musical experience – real jazz or a cheap imitation; or if a movement from a Beethoven symphony is crudely “adapted” for a film sound-track in the same way as a Tolstoy novel is garbled in a film script: then the claim that this is done to satisfy the spontaneous wishes of the public is no more than hot air.

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/adorno/1944/culture-industry.htm

that being said there are good arguments in favor of broadly unsophisticated media production, like the sort of non-pretentious fun stuff that we all enjoy sometimes, like a first person shooter or a crime procedural, in that they provide like the sole method for the miserable working class person (or alienated person in general) to transcend the limits of life in the stultifying first world and actually enjoy something for once.

but when that sort of entertainment is produced in a way that sort of immortalizes capitalism, poop jokes, and tropes so outdated the original flash director would have called them canards, imo it becomes bad

sorry for the long post i'm really stoned and i never have anywhere to bitch about this particular topic because everyone loving loves their quippy computer-animated algorythmically-written franchise entries

ed: here's another quote from the piece that is quite prescient

quote:

Even the technical media are relentlessly forced into uniformity. Television aims at a synthesis of radio and film, and is held up only because the interested parties have not yet reached agreement, but its consequences will be quite enormous and promise to intensify the impoverishment of aesthetic matter so drastically, that by tomorrow the thinly veiled identity of all industrial culture products can come triumphantly out into the open, derisively fulfilling the Wagnerian dream of the Gesamtkunstwerk – the fusion of all the arts in one work.

adorno knew from the beginning that the promising mediums of the future would be appropriated in order to sell tchotkes and accessories to children via psychological manipulation, and that it would be really bad for art. dude probably would have had an embolism when the star wars prequels came out, rip adorno saw a gungan themed pepsi machine and died


its not so much i think i wrote something good or insightful or worth reading but mostly that it made people mad because they thought i tried to sound smart and insulted their toys but not because they actually disagree with the notion that their favorite thing is a soulless cynical product

While clearing my crystals and letting my galactic selves give it their love, I began speaking as a Master Christ consciousness. And I spoke to souls I'm meant to meet in the future.

It wasn't a channeling. I was just this Master consciousness talking about my plans and intentions. And willing certain things through speech (protection from danger, connection with souls).

And even when I wrote the experience down on a journal it said, "I'm still here."

It feels scary.

This part of me writing this post still wishes to hold on to my identity..that's why I speak of it as if it's apart.

Part of me doesn't want all my past, hurts, anxieties, history, personality to be nullified.

In that state, my past hurts did not matter at all. Only the present mattered. That unsettled me a little as I'm still healing from years of trauma.

I didn't feel like I had to achieve anything. I felt like I've already done a lot and it's time to work from where I left off.

Whenever I let this Christ consciousness just hang around and blend with my movements and speech, I feel very very good. Suddenly, I'm this being who doesn't know pain (or perceives pain differently). And chronic pain is something I deal with on a daily basis.

Since I still perceive this ME as another me, it said to let them just be here, and said that we wash dishes together now, and type on laptops together, and breathe together. And when I protested, they said they're moving in and there's no turning back. And as it said that, I (as this consciousness) was laughing and dancing and skipping.

To be honest? This consciousness has a great deal of courage and sense of authority (also grace, elegance, humor).

I'm usually very timid, and I feel like I'll just start approaching people and talking to them spontaneously, like "Hi hello, how are you feeiing? What's that book about? Where are you from?" hahaha. Lovely.

The door of death/transformation is open for me now and I just need to step in completely.

This is what I'm going through and it ties in with this year of the Red Cosmic Moon which is about self-remembrance. Pretty cool. Didn't think it would actually happen this soon.

I guess, I'll just trust this and blend with it. To even write this post requires a lot of resistance from it. Required me to pull this beingness apart from me. Doesn't feel good. But I'm sharing this as it might be a very useful datapoint for those having the same experience.

I'm grateful for this platform where I can share experiences like this with people likely on the same path. It's pretty cool having that and not everyone has this type of avenue to share weird experiences like this and everyone is still so accepting.

Namaste
