@monarchist @dcc @mina @Scubbie @freepatriot @na @eriner @sun I think people are indeed too literal-minded, so the remark about castigating the Pharisees is accurate, and not just about rules, but anything: you say "a couple dozen" and if it's 23 or 25, they lose their shit. This tendency spills over to the news, where they assume that numbers burst from the heads of experts, in full battle dress: you ask "How did they get that figure?" and they have no answer, because the question doesn't even make sense: they think food comes from the supermarket and numbers come from journalists.

Have you read "The Savage Mind"? I think they way it ties into this topic might be of interest to you.

@monarchist @dcc @mina @caekislove @Scubbie @freepatriot @na @eriner @sun I use "public park" or "dive bar"/"gated community" as a metaphor, usually.

Illegal status is a strict liability crime.

That is if we find you here and you are not legally entitled to be here, you go away.

Different from trying to prove murder.

I am not seeing the law linked supporting the claim made. To my reading "who has had such status terminated under such respective section is deportable" is limited.

@FreedomPatriot Supermax. I've heard that most of the structure is underground. It must be quite claustrophobic, even for the staff, guards and especially the inmates.

@FreedomPatriot Isn't it one of your many mottos, that the government should fear the people instead? Perhaps, one should love his country, be wary of his government and absolutely instill fear in them as a matter of course.

Every time humans try this dumb experiment, it fails.

They become demoralized.

To me, it's a moot point, since I'm going to be muting half of the fediverse anyway (open sores spams, podcasts, SPORTS, religion, crypto, etc) simply because it's irrelevant to me.

I think social media should strive to be Walmart not Disneyland. Or maybe even a public park. Hugboxes and echo chambers are toxic.
