Thanks. I have no time lately but perhaps I should research them directly and actively then, e.g. to find out things like if the COVID response was used to bring population numbers down as a means of control and possibly thought to be beneficial for the sake of mitigation of the effects of climate change. But probably I am giving too much credit for even that much level of strategic thought towards climate change effects for the survival of humanity and perhaps it is solely "we do not need the masses anymore so let's kill them off, or at least not help at all with saving them", i.e. think of myself first, only, and always, and nothing else.

A fascinating series, I cannot agree more. His other works too like protagony/agency. I really hope he can find a way to do more like that, but as a more personal video from him mentioned (not on the channel iirc, search for his name instead) that depends on funding support.

To sum up: it is far easier to tear down than to build up. :-| Also, truth is often stranger than fiction, and much harder to pin down and truly understand.

Really I guess these are not merely two opposing sides of the same argument, but literally represent opposing worldviews.

Tbf, in that case we had the documents written and signed and sealed and delivered and notarized and what-not for decades in advance. Literally. A lot of preparatory work went into making that happen.

The judicial branch, on the other hand, has been predated upon by so many groups acting to try to disable it so they can get their way - e.g. the last real anti-trust lawsuit was in the 90s, with Internet Explorer bundled into like Win95 iirc - that it can barely hobble along to do anything. People ask for it to do so very extremely much, like consider the detailed cases of every single immigrant that comes into this country asking for asylum, but then it is not given the resources that it would need to properly do a tenth of what is asked.

Though you are right, b/c it still did manage to overturn Roe v. Wade pretty quick. When it wants to, all the barriers somehow magically just disappear...

Someone could step up, and be the first to do that experiment, for the sake of science!?

Pro-Tip: please, Please, PLEASE don't actually do that!:-P

"I speak alternative facts, making others do the work of figuring out what I meant."

vs.

"I have researched in-depth and know what I am talking about and why."

Tbf there are probably far-right people who are more like the latter. Just b/c I do not recall ever hearing those arguments does not mean that they don't exist!

It's been years since he was impeached, the second time I mean. Government is slow AF.

Pro-Tip: please don't actually do that.:-D

Yeah, it turns out that slapping the electron around like with a big stick or whatever causes it to change its behavior, go figure! :-P

Isn't this more of a self-pwn, where the mom was not already this way but needed to be forcibly converted into thus? :-P
