@Kyou I guess if units aren't the same as the number of fingers, Euros can't count them. "Help, I don't know how to divide by 12 without a calculator!"
@p @[email protected] "america and Europe are the only places on earth"
@Kyou Europe is the only place that complains about good units of measurement.
>P is an imperialchad
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
And just like that, he's cringe again.
One of the most kingly men to ever live.
Francis E. Dec GPT is something I didn't realize I needed.
I'm sure his writings have already been transcribed somewhere.
@graf @Hoss @p @Kyou rational wiki has some references that might help
rationalwiki.org/wiki/Francis_E._Dec
I can't find just a pdf of all of them, but I'll keep looking to help

>and, to put it politely, a stark raving lunatic.
Cool wiki, very encyclopedic.

I just think it's funny that "rationalwiki" needs to hand wring and preface everything with "HE WAS LE BAD!!!" when you could just let his writing stand for itself.
@Hoss @p @Kyou @egirlyuumimain @graf RationalWiki is Atheism+ trash. If you want a rabbit hole, look into how Atheism+ came about.
Atheism+ was like the WWI to the WWII that was GamerGate.
@Hoss @mrsaturday @p @Kyou @graf It was the start of the downfall for online militant atheists. At the time I didn't realize what a boon for my side it was, but now I do
It was the start of the fedora-tipper brother wars. The "skeptic community" fractured along ideological lines demarcated by whether you joined the Church of Progressivism or not.
@Hoss @p @Kyou @graf @mrsaturday and then skepticism fractured again when trump showed up on the presidential stage. What a time to be alive
That's when the anti-woke skeptics lost Thunderf00t, their most celebrated general.
@Hoss @p @Kyou @egirlyuumimain @graf The 9 internet atheists that were left at the time were never the same again
@mrsaturday @Hoss @p @Kyou @graf Yeah militant internet atheists are somehow more cringe than libertarians
@egirlyuumimain @p @Kyou @graf @Hoss I can work with "fuck the government" libertarians, they're my kind of people. The "Government doesn't work because it's not Government Inc." types or the ones that are just looking for an ideology that represents their desire to sneer at poors in their freetime should stick to sunglass selfies in their car

Hating the government is really easy once it becomes apparent that the people in power do not represent us, and don't give a shit about the wellbeing of the nation.
Every issue we face is being supported by the government in some way. They are behind nearly everything.
DONCHOO BE DOXXIN ME 
When it became obvious Trump was going to win after the Biden coup, Zucc freaked the fuck out and started trying to minimize as much of his voluntary involvement with the government as possible, thinking if he preemptively ratted out the clandestine government collaboration it'd buy him some goodwill. I didn't fall for it, this nigga needs to fry just as much as his co-conspirators.
@Hoss @ToyotaTime @mrsaturday @Kyou @egirlyuumimain @graf Or the plan was, from the beginning, as noted in that PDF, to do exactly what they did. Zuckerberg didn't switch camps based on thinking Biden was gonna lose: the plan was "If it blows back on you, blame the government and say your hands were tied."

> Zuckerberg says White House 'pressured' Facebook
"Blame the government for it" was part of the jointly concocted plan to "externalize the difficult responsibility of censorship". If you are getting it out of the Grauniad, then you can more or less rely on it being the official line.
