  • Very cool timeline!

    I found one error: Star Wars was released 5/25/77 not 23rd.

    In a situation like this, for broad illustrative purpose, no big deal. And I really love this journey that’s been charted. However as a Sci Fi fan looking to learn, and one who knew this date immediately, though not others, I just wonder about the correctness of other data.





  • Every movement has its participants and its leaders - whether they meant to be, or simply were by virtue of their actions and position. Imo, there is nothing more human than the genuine and wholesome acknowledgment of those who paved the way for us. As well as raising awareness about the negative impacts of systemic oppression.

    We rely on sharing lived experiences to raise awareness: about how society needs to change, mental health issues, learning differences, diversity, and so on.

    Some might be overly sensitive about such things, due to many negative cults of personality in recent times. However, don’t let those negative experiences affect the present positive one: Aaron Swartz and the negative consequences of systemic oppression.











  • I appreciate the empathy you are showing and considering my perspective. I don’t quite understand the sentence about when you’re saying both sides applies…

    My point is there is no both sides when you read this article. Hamas broke into Israel and raped and murdered unarmed people point blank (they didn’t bomb). And then they butchered babies. That should be unequivocally stated and Hamas condemned.

    Hamas is like Al Qaeda, like the Taliban. They are religious extremist terrorist groups. Not freedom fighters. They should not be receiving sympathy. You should be consoling the victims of this crime only.

    For example, in USA national news, someone recently kidnapped a little girl from a camping site. Then the police found the kid in the trailer (alive). The news article did not say what a hard life the kidnapper had before he took the kid. It focused on the victim and the victim’s family.

    Right now, everyone is saying “poor both sides”. No - Hamas murdered babies and beheaded them. This thread is filled with people who refuse to focus on the victims - the Israeli children. As if they are subhuman. It’s so fucking disturbing.

    Musings and thought experiments can come later.
