enjoying The Prudentialist's latest video

very timely subject, so let's take some notes (thread):

2/
recognize well prepared & thought out work by brief, expressive summary and links to source texts 👍

in particular linked is full text of Lippmann's book:

we open with recap that public opinions shift over span of few years, and reject offhand the notion that it's some invisible, neutral hand of "progress"

witness Rebecca Watson exposing her subversive views.

first, she wrongly compares Israel to "nazi rise to power" and calls them "occupiers"
2/
reminded of Palestine's stance on women, Rebecca compares it to Alabama (???)

and swears she would defend Alabama, in spite of the political differences...
3/
...only to tell us Alabama is occupied territory just as well, lol

a contrived case for "intellectual property":

"intellectual property" a way for government to wrangle some of the control over corporations back from media & commentariat. #dmutc
2/
the gov largely controls corpos through property and monetary policy.

conversely, the media & commentariat controls corps through opinion & branding, and through the workers.
3/
the branding and the worker's know-how being tied down to the company by "intellectual property" shifts the control partly away from the journalists & commentariat and back to the government.

which is less bad, obviously.

if it wasn't for the journalists profiting from the endless conflict, the Israel/Palestinians conflict would've been ended decades ago.

hitting this profit center of journalists is a valid move.

>giving only one hour's warning
>imagine this was your home

Edward plz. you did well what you did, but don't ally yourself with the journalists. they're already warping your worldview.

it's not "their home", it's journalists dirty profit center - they profiting from *war*.

those bad boys were *loud*
strong aesthetics, obviously
ah but why not? turboprops are efficient and reliable, and *almost* as fast as turbofans

and the airframe was a solid design

remember the recent paper that counted & equated "in minecraft" to terrorism?

this would also cover the "hate statistics" (i.e., the politically incorrect statistics)
