You're using the current situation (we cannot with current technology have 8 billion people on the same playing field) and saying that it should not be a goal because we can't do it right now. I disagree, I think we ought to work towards equality and find way to improve everyone's situation. Not being able to do a thing at the present time doesn't mean not figuring out a way to do it in the future, that's just the story of humanity in general.

Also, you're being positively hyperbolic about your take on it - genocidial - which I find odd, but whichever, maybe you've got really strong feelings against Transhumanism for some reason, who knows.

I think you're somewhat advocating cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's not an all-or-nothing scenario. There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from working with what they have now along with working for a better tomorrow. The whole point is that if we don't look forward and strive to better things, we get stuck in an endless mire of 'this is how things are, and we can only do things possible now'. The envelope of what is possible is always expanding, and we need to make sure it expands in a direction that will be beneficial to all, and not just the few.

Frankly, this kind of question is why I'm a Transhumanist. We're simply never going to be able to get everyone on an equal playing field when we're constrained by the random vagaries of nature in regards to people's innate capabilities or handicaps. Obviously it's trivial to point at my stance and say I'm relying on 'Utopian goals', but ultimately you have to have a goal to get somewhere. I think we'd ultimately be better served eliminating barriers between people than trying to work around them all the time.

The second mirror is still up, and it's also being posted on the Internet Archive.

Did you even read the linked post?

Well, some Hacktivists managed to gain Admin access and just dumped all of Parler, the data from which can be found here or also here. This data includes real ID (because you had to submit ID to Parler to be a 'verified citizen'), as well as all supposedly 'deleted' posts (hint: they didn't actually delete anything, just flagged it as unavailable).

Couldn't tell you, I wrote it a while back, and they may have updated policies.

Generally the deposit trigger amount is $10k. But to answer your question -

Buy pre-paid visa/mastercards. No ID is needed, and so long as you aren't an idiot and going to the same places all the time and laying out huge amounts of cash, no one will notice or care. Just stop in to a convenience store, and grab a $200 prepaid card or two every so often.

These people have no legal right to check or detain you. Think about how this works - in theory, a customer has paid for their merchandise at the checkout before exiting the store, and therefore any attempt to actually detain you would be unlawful. You are walking out of a store with your items you paid for.

It is security theatre. I ignore them and walk past them every time, and they never do anything, because they know the legal ramifications of them stopping a legit customer are just plain not worth it.

ACAB, after all.

Can we maybe just not be shitty to people based on race, gender, sexual orientation (or lack thereof), condiment preferences, or any other involuntary category? I know it's a revolutionary idea, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Anarcho-communists are also a thing, and there's some around here.

Stealing from capitalist fucks isn't immoral. Being an abelist / fascist / sexist or an apologist for any of those is, in fact, immoral - and it also makes you an asshole.

I am Ziq.

The sheer amount of casual racism and dog-whistling I see in Discord/Riot chats that are for 'normal' subjects is ridiculous. These people are definitely trying to normalize their fucked up views - and when called out on it, they try and act like the person calling them out is a stick-in-the-mud seeking to stop them from 'having fun and joking around'.

I really want a way to punch people in the fucking face over the internet.

I'll wait to pirate it. Arrr.

Well, how about this?

In all honesty, this is why I tend towards Absurdism as a viewpoint. Either you accept that the universe makes no inherent sense, or you get overwhelmed trying to deal with it. Which isn't to say that we shouldn't try to make things better, but yeah.

Well, your reasoning does make sense, though I am skeptical of movements that seem to be anti-science in general. But questioning things, especially when they try to define what 'normal' is, does seem to be a good idea. We just have to be careful to not become dogmatic about it, I suppose.

I have upvoted you for downvoting me, lol.

Just be careful of the spurting if you ever pull it out.

I find the whole subject questionable at best. Ridiculous groups like Scientologists hate psychiatry, and they're bloody vapid useless pieces of crap. A movement that garners supporters like that doesn't exactly come across as at all sensible. What is the rational basis for being against psychiatry (as a medical discipline)?

Edit: Hey you. Yeah, the one downvoting without providing any actual response to the question / premise for your position. That only serves to indicate your lack of ability to justify your belief. Perhaps try to actually explain your position instead of just trying to bury someone questioning it. If it has any rational basis that shouldn't be too difficult. The revolution will not be started by someone stuffing their fingers in their ears and going 'LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING ME TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT MY POSITIONS'. ;)

Greeters cannot stop you from leaving the store. At the point of exit, you have (in theory) already paid for your merchandise, and it is yours, so forcibly detaining you would be unlawful. They're a form of security theatre. Just ignore them and walk past.

Because you're a troll.

Unless you signed for the package, they're just going to assume someone walked off with it. The delivery person won't get in any shit. The only way THAT happens is if lots of packages go 'missing' with the same delivery person, and then the delivery company will investigate, usually by planting tracked (like, lowjacked) passages or taking hidden camera video.
