Battle fatigue…I picked him out of the lost and found. He made fun of me. We escaped for a day to a meme-free zone, hiked for hours. We held hands at the top and had a picnic. He looked out at the expanse of sky and remembered the people who loved him and how they still do, from their perches higher still…
Who authored that or what is that from ?
Twitter, I don’t remember from whom…
It’s OK we are voting next year … lmao 
OH ! What do you mean Marshall law ?
OH ! What do you mean COG ???
OH ! What do you mean there is no Elections ? . . .
With all the bots and shenanigans directing narratives on social media its difficult to get a clear picture of just how rebellious “we the people” are feeling but after seeing the recent marches around the world I think it is getting pretty serious.
It was a hilarious movie from the early 2000’s called Napoleon Dynamite.
… “Marches” - a euphemism for - “Pressure Release Valve”
As long as they’re marching, TPTB aren’t worried, because they know everyone is out in the streets.
Scarmoge, would you give me the name of the learning theorist you’ve mentioned in past vidchat? Pierce? Perce?
The Martial( “march-all”) Laws:
- Protest = a futile march for some
cause - Demonstration = a futile march
against some cause - War = a futile march for and/or against
someone else’s cause - Nonparticipation( as in, nonviolence, minding-one’s-own-business, being-a-productive-member-of-society, Life etc.) = a futile march against the Fates and/or towards Destiny
Hello June,
Sure, the name you are thinking of is that of Charles Sanders Peirce. If you spend time with his work you will find that he made contributions not only to learning theory but to many other areas as well.
Enjoy! 
Marches: a simulation of accomplishing something?
…Yep Fiat, roughly equivalent to writing your Congressm … Oops apologies, CongressThey a letter or voting. Again Postman is de … Oops apologies, non-livingTheys on,
“Voting, we might even say, is the next to last refuge of the politically impotent. The last refuge is, of course, giving your opinion to a pollster, who will get a version of it through a desiccated question, and then will submerge it in a Niagara of similar opinions, and convert them into–what else?–another piece of news. Thus we have here a great loop of impotence: The news elicits from you a variety of opinions about which you can do nothing except to offer them as more news, about which you can do nothing.”
Pretty smart, that Postman fellow (sorry I can’t politically-correctify that one…). I prefer French comedian Coluche: “If voting changed anything, they’d have banned it long ago.” They both make very good, if slightly exaggerated(?), points.
I’d ask Postman two things:
- If the powers-that-be don’t care about public opinion, why are they always measuring it . . . via polls, among other things? Only to generate news?
- What is the refuge of the politically non-impotent?
Just spitballing here but …
… point 1 - so that we may feel as though we have been consulted.
… point 2 - corporations
