There should be rooms for alternate timeline worldviews, where the writer is someone whose perspective is so out of line with reality that they might as well be from another one, yet they're not basing it off of a common conspiracy theory.

Eichenwald also had one of the weirdest and most unhinged interviews I've ever seen where he had a giant meltdown on Tucker Carlson's show. It's a pretty tough job making Tucker look reasonable but he managed it.

Sent this to Bernie's campaign and I'm sure it'll get lost. Sent it to AOC's PAC campaign thing but I'm sure it'll get lost/ignored. So here it is, Internet void:


Good afternoon,
As a concerned citizen who was part of Occupy's formative moments, I wanted to express my thoughts and ideas on how people with a platform (i.e. yourself) can utilize the moment when the country finally feels the crushing weight of 6.6 million + unemployed citizens.

Occupy itself started when there were only maybe 600,000+ unemployed people. It is a veritable certainty that we will see large-scale unrest within the next few months due to similar issues of people being unable to feed themselves or house their families.

My objectives are threefold;
1) Take control of the message.
2) Use it to push a progressive agenda.
3) Ensure the survival of progressivism by improving the lives of the people who follow the movement.


To accomplish the above objectives, my strategy is as follows:

1) Message:

Form a corporation and ask for bailout funds. Make "employment" in this (legally real) corporation open to anyone who applies.

Use the corporation to provide health insurance to its employees, using Federal bailout money.
The message - that corporations get better treatment than people - is now captured. We can prove that not only is it true, but we are gamifying the system to accomplish objective #3.

2) Push a progressive agenda:

Make progressive corporate policies. Women as part of the board, healthcare for all employees, and a commitment to Earth-friendly living (let's call it Earth-friendly instead of "green", which is overplayed and meaningless).
Now, anyone who wants to join the corporation to get all these benefits does so knowing that this corporation is pushing progressive values.
Everyone in the corporation gets the same amount of shares and everyone has a vote on the board.

3) Ensure progressivism's survival and the betterment of lives.

The corporation should focus on providing healthcare, housing, etc. by purchasing those items from other suppliers, using government bailout money and donations, and giving them to its employees - again, reiterating that employment is open to everyone.
This will fix one of the fundamental flaws in Occupy: all they did was yell and take up park space. Occupy did not use the fact that they essentially controlled large areas of land to explore progressive ideas and methods of operation. This corporation fixes that.

Exploration is ill-advised.

I've said before that literally the only places on the internet where people still care about furries anymore are 4chan and here, and 4chan isn't really pretending it wasn't always about hatred for queer people

I don't have a problem with furries, but it's really disingenuous to pretend all aversion to them is queerphobia. It is a weird subculture that does quite frequently get up to some *very* weird stuff, so of course it's going to gross some people out (especially in this crabby old goon corner of the internet)

the forum of runaway hit threads about keyboard goop and piss bottles sure has some delicate sensibilities sometimes

or this forum has attracted a large contingent of deeply maladjusted lunatics who can't grasp any distinction between briefly rubbernecking at something funny, and becoming a psychotic stalker who decades later can't stop talking or thinking about murdering anyone who ever checked out the Philly Phanatic's rear end. see also any time this forum starts a thread about an autistic guy or China or whatever

My only real take on the subject is that those dead eyed grinning fursuits are really creepy and wanting to gently caress dressed like a children's theme park mascot does seem a little off, its not the animal part so much as the childlike aesthetics in what is a very adult context

most kinks people basically knew about before the internet, but furries were both new and subject to the early internet lack of discretion about sex

and that's how we ended up with foxler explaining how his hatred of black people is a sex thing. with his black boyfriend.
