Well, at least that sounds a little cozier than HAL 9000.

“Social media” is an oxymoron.

It is ANTI-social and as a promulgator of extremism (left and right) it is hardly “via media”...”the way of the middle”.

Well, that’s good.

I’m perfectly comfortable with chickens.

(Not sure I’d want to meet a badger in this hen house, though.)

Agreed...nonviolent resistance does not work against totalitarians or strongmen. It only has a chance of working where there is Westernized rule of law or in places where Western opinion matters economically due to proximity or trade. It had no effect on Hitler, Imperial Japan, Communist China, Communist Cuba, North Korea, the Taliban, no effect on the USSR. The Khan would have laughed. Nor is Ghandi isMr the best role model.

The communists are experts in creating or promoting social disruptions, breakdowns and “we are your saviors” propaganda.

Just a long article that supports a 2nd amendment ping.

Gandhi reconsidered his position on pacifism.
