Possible alternative histories had the 2010 false charges not been brought.

May have settled renting somewhere. Would have full access to advertisement and with steady work may have been able to make seventy grand a year or more. If i had a change of orientation, may have become a legitimate company and taken on employees. May have gotten married... would certainly be dating regularly if not. Would be in a band writing music. Really doubt it... but could even be married with childrens.

That's a critical part. The audience has to observe not only what is actively lost on a daily basis in what life remains of the martyr but also how many beautiful possible lives were destroyed as well by the State.

I need to publish this memo for posterity reasons and place it in safe keeping so it's not disposed of by the enemy.

If the feds get agitated and have me assasinated (because I'm talkin' scary-ass shit) or vigilantes end up murdering me, know this:

If i am found dead in a location where there wasn't a very recent shootout with law enforcement, it means i was murdered by one of the above and not killed in a justified act of law enforcement.

But this is more important. If the feds ever attempted to make their assassination of me look like a suicide... know that i would never kill myself outside of the context of a violent encounter with the law and that the suicide was staged.

So if you see or read about the promethean75 being dead af in the future, you know now what has happened.

Lol when it's not just the ramblings of a paranoid schizo but something that could actually happen. That's gold, man.

My martydom would be here: in only expressing my right to free speech, i said something that inclined the government to want to murder me.

I took careful attention not to state any indicative threats, excluding identifiable targets and speaking only generally. One can't be charged with threatening to murder the government. Who would take the stand as State's witness? The whole government? Holy f*** that'd be a yuuuuge court room. Could they even all fit in the chair?

Who exactly is the government, your honor? Who's the person I'm 'sposed to be threatening? I'm gonna blow up a court room?! Which one?

Don't ever be deceived by the jolly anarchist. When you see them gregarious and healthy as they are, you misunderstand them, from where they've come, and therefore the philosophy behind them.

It's only his excess of energy and health that keeps him in good spirits... and so he reduces in the eyes of his audience the gravity of what he has suffered and what has made him an anarchist. This is bad. It allows his audience to mistake him as trivial (why is he ranting about when he looks and feels so incredible?) when they themselves would be terrified in his shoes and should therefore not think lightly of it.

Once this is understood, the anarchist becomes even more epic. Even under such stress and restriction... which would crush anyone else... he still manages to dance about and sing. Perhaps this is one kind of insanity... or what you could only perceive as such. The bizarre happiness of a great sufferer... when he should be by now a broken mass and instead is still overflowing with life and goodwill (however criminal that goodwill may be in expression). How is that explained? It could only be some kind of insanity. The brute imperviousness to everything. Too dumb to suffer and be depressed like he should. Like the uncanny strength of a retarded kid. You know how strong those fuckers are with downs syndrome? That's how the jolly anarchist is to his fate. Relentless.

But you must never mistake this for some kind of proof that it mustn't be so bad if he's doing just fine. You could never do what he does, so you can't get a proper estimation of the problems and conflicts that created him by observing their effects on him. Like in SEAL camp, only ten percent make it... and that ten percent is always a little crazy from the brutal training.

Don't look at the anarchist... you'll only call him mad. Look at what he tells you and put your best reading cap on like when you settle in for a good novel.

Anarchy is the only philosophy that can't be taken up on the spot like any other philosophy is. Here's why. Nobody prefers anarchy if they have a say and would never march willingly into it. Therefore, something must have happened over great lengths of time to develop the anarchist type. It is a purely reactionary position born of the conflicts (inherent, systemic, contingent) produced in a long-running set of circumstances.

All other philosophies, if they challenge an order of things, seek only to replace one order with another and not abolish it entirely. This is done so casually, almost entirely theorectically and from the comfort of desks. One can even change their minds a few times, etc.

But an anarchist is someone who did not have the luxury to make theorectical decisions, someone who was thrust into internal contradictions that no amount of philosophizing would get him out of.

The only conversation left in philosophy is between Marxists and Anarchists, then. What to do. Reform it, annihilate it before it becomes a Babylon? The burden is on the Marxists to arrange a better State. All else in philosophy is useless chatter. Marxists and Anarchists agree on that much.

I'm running out of time to be able to use my trans warranty if indeed whatever fucked the truck up is trans related. If i can afford to have the truck towed and diagnosed and the diagnosis shows a trans problem, the crook at the trans shop is forced to honor the warranty. But, I've only got a few months left before the year warranty runs out. The truck has been immobile since it left the shop six months ago, and I've been struggling to make the money (reasons stated) just to cover the credit card payments for the $5000 borrowed to pay the trans guy to destroy the truck. There's nothing left to pay a tow truck and diagnostic fee... or to risk it not being trans related (e.g. he merely broke the mounts, and i can't prove it) and not being financially prepared to have any work done at the shop where it was towed and diagnosed if indeed it isn't trans related.

If it takes me longer than a few more months to do this and i do end up finding out it's trans related, the warranty would have expired by then and I would have offically purchased a useless trans for $5000.

On the art of liking apples.

Sorry... $5000 plus 23 percent interest.

I can listen to this guy for hours and so can you. If everybody talked exactly like this there would be world peace.

Guess who I'm still listening to...

"The condition of your heart is what will make you say good or evil things. Jesus conditions our hearts to be good and only say nice things" (a christian)

Check it out, mang, i can prove this doesn't solve anything. Remove all emotive expression from language so that only Wittgenstein's primitive builder language remains. You made it impossible to say good or bad things to see what happens in our experiment.

Guess what happens. Nary an ill word is spoken by anyone, and still the world is a miserable wreck. That's how relevant nice and mean language is in our predicament. And even if all anyone ever said was super super nice, those same real problems would exist.

"Only one country has ever been nuked. It was as a sign of respect. An offer of surrender was proferred. When the destruction of invading was compared to the destruction of nuclear bombs, it was decided that the country had too mighty of a military force."

This is the statement of one of ILP's most prominent historians. It's not a lie but it's not the whole troof. I would inform the reader that Japan's surrender was almost imminent by the time the Reds got involved, and they had already suffered continued bombing raids that had exhausted them. Moreover, there was nowhere else to fight but to try for more Chinese land. The whole south pacific was locked down by the Allies and there was nothing to do over there. And they sure as shit weren't launching a pacific fleet of carriers to california or pearl harbor again.

Note also that there is no mention of the U.S.'s primary concern and reason for droppin' bombz. It was to prevent further loss of life of our... er, your, boys, and further military expenditures. The prez and the genz didn't give a ratz ass about the Japz.

That statement is good old-fashioned homegrown conservative press propaganda. The only thing that is missing is the snap-brim fedora.

Every time a sexy beast college chick at starbucks lets her hair down and shoots a glance at me to see if I'm listening as she says something goofy to her friend just a little too loud hoping I'll hear it, laugh, and invite myself into the convo, and i don't, the State gets an invoice from me.

Every time she very slowly puts all her stuff into her bookbag on my side of the table instead of the other side and then snaps her laptop shut a little too loudly because she gave me that last few seconds to say hi before she left and I didn't and now she's mad, the State gets an invoice from me.

Oh yeah, dude. Every aspect of life it is there looming over me. I'm like Swayze in Ghost. There's no way any sane man would let the State do this to him.

Notes of a misanthrope? It's possible to be so offended or repulsed or disappointed in something human that you infer from that that there isn't a designer god. It's never just the world - exploding volcanoes, cancer, earthquakes... this is just physics - but the special appeal of human foibles and failings and how obscene they are that shows you there wouldn't be any god behind anything happening in the world.

This need not even be objectively so even if any noble man would feel the same repulsion before some ugly human thing. Even the feeling felt by ugly things against still uglier things is proof that in those primitive worlds of experience, there is no god or purpose for the ugly thing, its world or its crude experience and understanding of it.

How many gods were reinvented by great men when they found in their contempt and disgust for ordinary men below them a certain half-exhilaration half-anger... surprised so much by the distance between himself and other men that he resposits the gods as an explanation for all this.

If men were not so lowly, there would be no chance for distinguished men, you know. It's only because there is such trash in the world that these distances created cause great men to go looking for god again.

This is why the abrahamic religions are false. They do not allow the great man's feeling of exhiliration and disgust before the lowly to be a violent tonic and stimulus for life... which it should be.

I have a question. So if collective ownership of the means of production is Marxism simplicter and (some) folks collectively owned the means of production long before the existence of the Abrahamic religions, how can Marxism be called a secular extension of christianity.

I think there's a lotta confusion we gotta clear up. There's a vicious circle-jerk going on between zee Nazis, the LGBTQ Emos, and the petite-bourgeois philosophers of the free market.

The Nazis see the Emos and then automatically associate leftism with that unconditional christian sympathy and tolerance for all that is whack. These pitiful rainbow colored creatures become the face of the Leftist defenders in zee eyes of zee Nazis and then the idiots think Marx has anything to do with it.

To think something as superficial as a theory of worker cooperation has become the sinister jewish ideological protocol of a psychologically afflicted beer drinking hobby economist who, despite his continued protestations and insistence of the contrary, remains a christian.

Is that the craziest thing you have ever heard, though? Marxism is secular Christianity. Bro. The theory of Historical Materialism engulfs Christianity and all its brothers and sisters. These things deserve a chapter, perhaps, but really, there are more important solvable problems to pay attention to. The thing itself - the Christianity - is so ridiculous it doesn't warrant any attention... but about its effects, one could write a chapter or two, sure.
