Well, I assume there is equal parts organic, natural propagation, and astro-turfing. I am a curious and analytical mind, so I'd like to believe I know where the rabbit holes begin. The problem for me is informatic.

I am rhythm challenged, so for me martial arts have been mentally stimulating like improv jazz on a Go board. In sparring you can follow muscle memory to build a dynamic procedure based on your opponents' actions or reactions. You quic

You're ignoring the forest for the trees. Were you listening when the extrajudicial killings incited these peaceful protests?

Something tells me this happens less than you imply.

The first line of defense against authoritarianism is eyes on the regime. You're defending disproportionate response to a non-violent checking of power. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

This example doesn't line up. Blindness is primarily a disability, no?

I propose hexagonal storage pods. Even though the bees may be gone, we can carry on their legacy.

Are you thinking of memetics?

I don't buy your broad definitions and I believe you're being disingenuous. Ideas, tolerance, and their cross-sections are not binary.

It doesn't take an essay to convey nuance.

This is a matter of perspective.

What is your aversion to rap music and how is it relevant to this case?

Hm, I don't see enacting your first three points as being inherently negative. If it's broken, why not try to fix it?

I mean, it's probably best not to talk politics at a bar in the first place.

I would say that anyone with the means to enact real, positive, humanitarian change that continues to follow the dollar, long after the dollar has replaced their brain cells, is seriously, pathologically misguided.

I'm sure there is a normal distribution of people who really have no credentials to investigate conspiracies, to take the term at its core definition. Journalists and whistleblowers? Tongue-in-cheek digs at implausible circumstances? S

Profit is not a meaningful metric for whether or not a company should exist. When your cash is on the line I'm sure it is very easy to have flexible morals, but making returns on death and oppression is not a world I want to be a part
