Originally posted by Common De-mominator If it's about sending a message, then that message is being sent to irresponsible whistleblowers: don't leak shit that could get our people killed.
I'm quite aware of why the US is going after Assange in the way it is, I pointed this out myself. I'm saying I don't think it's right.My point really is, if you think we have any sovereignty at all as a nation, any right to defend our military personnel, then we can and should treat whistleblowers who leak information that endangers them the same as we would spies
I basically think we don't have a right to defend our military personnel by any other means than hasty withdrawal from the illegitimate conflict they're engaged in. It's like posing the question "how should a burglar defend himself against a resident with a gun?". The answer is "don't invade people's homes", even if you think homeowners don't have a right to shoot home invaders. It's not "well if you think he has any personal sovereignty then he has a right to self defense and should shoot the person whose home he's breaking into". -

Originally posted by Common De-mominator And where should governments draw the line between a spy and a whistleblower when they're actively exposing military personnel to harm?
Well to be honest I'm not all that concerned with the distinction between spies and whistleblower here. Disclosure to the public as opposed to a specific state seems like a distinction which makes the whistleblower more noble but the spy and the whistelblower alike work against american hegemony.
Frankly I imagine spies have an easier time of it. Like sure, the MIC will go after them but how much effort is put into extraditing spies once they've left the region they were operating in and delivered their intel? Capturing Assange and putting his head on a pike has no military significance, it's about sending a message to other would be whistleblowers. -

They're alright. They're a better development environment than windows and are a better desktop experience than linux (adjusted for the amount of fucking with X and DE config files required for a good dual monitor workflow). You pay a premium for it so whether or not they're a worthwhile buy depends on how much you value your time vs your money.

Originally posted by Common De-mominator Would you be Ok with the US treating all whistleblowers and wikileaks as enemy spies?
I don't really understand the point of this question. Like no, obviously I think whistle blowers shouldn't have to flee the country and face the absolute farce of an extradition process pending life imprisonment Assange has enjoyed. I don't think holding this position conflicts with anything else I've said. -

Originally posted by MORALLY SUPERIOR BEING IV: The Flower of Death and The Crystal of Life Why am I parroting Nietzsche? Cos he's the only philosopher you've read?
Because the idea of Christianity as a life denying philosophy and a "slave religion" is a pretty old idea in western thought with direct lineage to Nietzsche. I mean the jedi conspiracy angle is a bit of your personal spin born of your deep feelings of insecurity about jedis, but even that isn't too far from Nietzsche's line of thinking.I guess they picked it up from reading Nietzsche huh?
Do you think that's what I'm saying? -

Originally posted by gadzooks Of course there will be variations between the different books of each testament as well, but the general themes vary in some significant ways.
For example, Christianity incorporated Platonism/Neo-Platonism, which is where stuff like the Holy Trinity came from, and transubstantiation and the like.
It also started incorporating Stoicism from the Roman tradition as well. That's where the "turn-the-other-cheek" stuff comes from. It's like practically quoted directly from Marcus Aurelius himself.
And yes, you're right that there is also a chronological spread within each testament (for each book to have been written), but the differences between each book within each testament is a lot narrower than the difference between each testament as a whole.
I agree with most of this but it's worth noting Jesus himself was likely influenced by Greek stoic thought and Jesus died before Aurelius was born. Also Aurelius oversaw the persecution of early Christians. Which is not to say the connection isn't important, it's widely acknowledged that stoic through in the Roman empire was a big part of Rome eventually adopting Christianity, but the direct influence of Aurelius on Jesus is obviously impossible and the reverse isn't likely either.
Originally posted by MORALLY SUPERIOR BEING IV: The Flower of Death and The Crystal of Life All that stuff came from Goyim after Christianity got spread by Jesus's little coven to Greece and Italy.
lolwut?Turn the other cheek literally means if someone hits you, make it easier for him to hit you again. It has nothing to do with perseverance, it's about rejection of the world - which is a major theme in the more esoteric forms of Christian worship.
That's like... what stoicism is. Nietzsche, who you're parroting here, was one among many to recognize the similarities between stoicism and Christianity. There's a reason he called both "life denying" philosophies. -

2019-02-09 at 6:38 AM UTC in Where were you when all email providers suddenly became shite?Wrong. betabet based writing systems require objectively less entropy-per-word than ideographic writing systems employing adult level vocabularies. Just because a writing system has many thousands of glyphs doesn't make it information dense.
