Another political thing Little Alice didn't understand: government debt.
Like, the government makes the laws, right? So just make a law that says the government doesn't actually have to pay back its creditors. Problem solved!
that's called defaulting, and is generally really bad because it destroys pretty much all trust.
Little Alice's response would have been: "You don't need trust! You just make a law that says certain groups are required to 'lend' the government money and the government is not required to pay them back. Then you throw anyone who tries to fight against this in jail."
isn't that just taxation tho
Well, I mean when you put it that way, yeah, but Little Alice didn't really think these things through.
not only that, the trust i was thinking of in part included, you know, other countries
Fascist Child Alice's response probably would have been "other countries have to obey our laws too, as long as we have a military to threaten them with"
I'm starting to think that Little Alice wasn't a very good person
"other countries should have to pay us for protection"-donald trump, and also young alice rae

Like I said, as a child I was convinced that an authoritarian regime was the answer to all of America's problems.
Technically, a benevolent authoritarian government would be better than democracy, because then you wouldn't have to get through the red tape of bureaucracy to make the best decisions.
The problem is that the sort of people (i.e. humans) who inevitably gain control of authoritarian governments are always the sort of people who make selfish and harmful decisions.
Tumblr's fetish for Pacific Rim is Del Toro worship and giant robot lust justified with progressivism. So what. We do not need to drag that smelly dead thing in here.
It is kind of weird this is coming up now, seeing as the whole Pacific Rim thing is a bit passé at this point. I know, there might be a sequel or whatever, but the peak popularity of the film/franchise has long waned, at least on Tumblr.

I love getting phishing emails that promise to increase my mailbox storage from 20 GB to 20.9 GB
My mailbox quota is 50 GB and I'm nowhere near filling even 1 GB of that
Man. You blame, like, virtually everything on them whenever "nerd" stuff is the topic of the hour. I don't want to say it's kind of weird because that's vague but it's a bit... unsettling?

Has anyone seen reviews of Inbreeding: Revolution for the PS4 yet?
I guess it's about time the series made the jump to the next-gen consoles, though it'll be hard to top Inbreeding III as my favorite entry of the series.
TIL that before Nick Land became a neoreactionary he apparently worked w/ Kode9 on something or other
He was part of a weird cyberphilosophy movement at Warwick University in the 90s.
Then he had a mental breakdown from too many club drugs, moved to Shanghai, wrote travel guides for several years, then came back and started fronting for nerd fascism.

It is an odd story.
ohhhhh
Kode9 runs hyperdub, which is one of the most influential independent electronic music labels out there, and he writes/talks a lot about his weird postmodern memeticyberafrofuturist thing a lot

Then just ditch whitey mcwhiteperson
Or have literally any of the other minority characters besides Idris Elba have any effect on anything
He's like Joss Whedon, then.

so I guess this kinda clarifies the connection
