QuoteNowadays? Hell, no one even cares.

I wish that were true.  And as long as you do not run up against operational security, it may be.  But if you do, that is a total red pill moment for you.

Well, if someone came into my house and demanded I not beleive statistics of how many folks starved in America recently, or told me that China didn't starve 10's of millions with their political system, I would be...surprised!

It doesn't seem as though either of those facts require security though...

Quote from: K-DogSay you find out about an American troll farm behind Clusterfuck Nation, and start talking about it. That sort of thing.  People will be popping out of the woodwork to drive you crazy.  Or try to.

Oh, I've got a wife and kids and in-laws and plenty of people who have tried to drive me crazy, some even succeeded a little, here and there. As far as Kuntsler being of enough value for anyone to protect, or even pay attention to, well who would ever think that Mr Y2K was worth a cup of warm spit? Is our government THAT incompetent? I think THAT is the amazing thing, is it possible if he was a troll farm he suckered in all those oil-incompetents to early 21st century peak oil?

Quote from: K-DogIf you get indicted for something then I suppose a show of civility is shown by the FBI and other black suits.  But if you are just a Joe on their radar your life can become a living hell.  Then you find out about Fascism Lite.  Same great oppression, but it is not in your face.

So in order to pimp a obviously false peak oil story while supporting a theater major proclaiming the end of the world, they went after those who were lured in? That doesn't seem fair.

Ah...been both of those. Don't knock'em till you tried'em. It isn't as though they are HARD or anything...cops generally weren't much of a worry under either circumstance. Moreso when homeless, but being poor was more miserable than just being homeless even with the heightened cop worries

We do not have to take your bait.



And you have nothing on your hook.

Quite true. Although I've never considered opinions based on experience, history, facts and suchlike to be...bait..?  Or going fishing?

For example, no one claims you are fishing you when pitch out online references to how great the ACP is. I ask questions, not knowing much about them, you provided some online information, it certainly wasn't what I expected and I learn something from the basics of the idea.

But is it more than just an interest in ideas online? How many IRL meetings/gatherings/coffee shop interactions do you participate in over the course of a year with the ACP? RE has made his feelings clear on the usefulness of personal echo chamber, but you've mentioned you are mobile, have respectable social status cage cred, high net worth, how often does the ACP meet locally and discuss....ACP....stuff? And is it as interesting participating IRL as compared to just posting online links and videos at the place with a handful of geriatrics as listeners? 

Quote from: K-DogAnd you have nothing on your hook.

For as much experience I have with firearms and hunting and trapping to feed the family, I've never been a fisherman. I tried once. Guns are cooler than fishing poles. It started as just the impression of a 11 year old, but it stuck for the rest of my life.

Why do you give a fuck about the ACP and why are you asking me about them.  Join if you want to, but don't bother me.  You want to learn about them, go here.

We have never discussed my "feelings" about "personal echo chambers" or their utility.  Implying that the Diner is a PEC insults this forum and is obviously untrue, since I tolerate your presence.  Clear violations of the Diner CoC, so it's back to the cooler for you.
