half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz

Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be “No Bad Parts”). It’s like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It’s all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don’t recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn’t to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.

Or do what they did in Hong Kong: ship them to another part of the country to stand trial. It’s currently illegal, but probably less illegal than removing juries. They’ll do it because they can’t secure the local jails or something

Software is part of the superstructure comrade.

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

Judge not lest ye be judged.

There are many forms of activism and it is important to keep in mind that everyone exists with different abilities in different contexts. Judging others because they aren’t adopting the same strategy as you isn’t going to build a winning coalition. Here’s a quote from someone who was murdered by the SS and was reflecting on how stupidity is as much a sociological phenomenon:

It will really depends on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years

The idea that the DNC only has a messaging problem is to say we expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence or wisdom (ie Voters just need to be educated). A party that respects people would listen and respond to issues like Gaza or wealth inequality. The reason this strategy of educating voters doesn’t work is because it isn’t a problem with the intellect but of their oppression. Only by liberating fellow voters will they be able to act independently.

Yeah, the only positive spin I received is from Newsom dropping ads on YouTube. Got a couple negative flyers as well.

Convincing people to vote for them is the job of the party, not their supporters. The supporters can only repeat the messaging the party sends out, if that messaging is unpopular then no amount of time and money from the supporters is going to win the election.

Kind of wish she had though, not really liking the outcomes.

They obviously mean something until they are stuck down, and even then…

The lies are audacious though. Most people know this is a lie but there’s no consequences so it is then taken as a display of power. The word I use for this is mendacity.

Only if we beat it from him like a pinata.

And admission to the capital is up to the don now.

There’s the legal tactic of: do now and ask for forgiveness never. It works really well when there are no legal consequences.

Ever tried siracha deviled eggs? Or with grey puopon? I wonder what the price of eggs are now…

It’s a start. Go further and have the police document every encounter, get badge numbers and names and make the info public. And don’t show up when the public starts taking some accountability into their own hands.
