Data Is Power...

 


From the comments on An Open Letter to Facebook:


"They haven't learned that the new, softer dictatorships do not make the same mistakes as the old ones when it comes to enforcing conformity and rigidity of thought and they have the technology to make that task much easier.

This isn't the fight to give up on. "

Lo and behold, Mr. Overlord -
this comment alone is worth to elaborate another post on!

Defeating the Left, Part Three: The Endgame...

 "Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task that has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance.

Destructive Narcissistic Paternalism

"If drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee in awe,
Such boastings as Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without The Law,
Lord God of Hosts, be with Us yet,
Lest we forget -- lest We forget!"

-- "Recessional", Rudyard Kipling

An Amalgam: Censorship, the Mailman and MLK...

"It is now common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. 'I find that offensive'. It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well so fucking what." -- Stephen Fry
