If you guys want intellectual stimulation, then that's fine; I do too.  The Ebola and ISIS puzzles have been solved, though.  I want new ones.  Those topics are hamster wheels at this point; let's talk about something else.

I understand your position for how and why you feel this is the case, and how issues that currently vex the world as a whole are all wrapped up and solved for the folks here.

I'd submit that a few of us are still learning and researching these little things though, and have a wee bit more to look into before calling both issues all done and over with. Particularly as they are both dynamic, fast changing events with new developments coming almost daily for one, and hourly on the other.

Another grand post Petrus,

In regards to Russell Brand, are you suggesting he should shut up because he has money?

Not exclusively.  The problem is not that Brand himself has money.  The problem is that he is actively encouraging other people to do things which, if they follow his advice, will most likely have the outcome that they will not obtain money themselves.  As such, I'm inclined to regard him as controlled opposition.

If I was in power that is what I'd hope lots of people would do.

Brand has his 'Freedom' of speech. Each individual is responsible for their own thoughts and actions, and based on that account, I sharn't join in the Brand bashing until he presents something I believe to be luciferian.

Revolution? lol.... I honestly doubt most of the people who call for it, even have the first clue what the reality of living it would be. Idealism today suffers badly from one major factor it lacks. Contact and appreciation of violence and use of force. Every period of time and all but the latest generations of the UK and US both saw and knew force with hard times as a normal part of life.

The system has protected itself against the possibility of successful revolution, exceptionally well; and the truly exquisite irony is the fact that said protection was designed and pioneered by Martin Luther King, among other people.

As a political ideology, Anarchism has at this point been almost completely destroyed by civil rights, and the obsession with equality.  The single main reason why equality can never be ultimately achieved, is because like strong artificial intelligence, it is a continually moving target.  Feminism used to have tangible and genuinely justifiable targets, but more recently it has taken to creating abstractions and ghosts; the enforcement of gender quotas in universities, and "rape culture," whatever that is.

Contemporary political correctness is one of the cornerstones of repressive government; because as mentioned, no matter what minority groups manage to achieve, they simply move on to another objective.  They are never satisfied; and this is because, in a similar manner to the American Drug Enforcement Agency, the conflict in which they are locked, is necessary for the justification of the minority groups' very existence.  So the struggle must be maintained, regardless of whether its' objectives have been met; because without said struggle, there is no minority group, and without said minority group, the group's members lack identity, and ultimately a reason to exist.

A bunch of Atoms studying themselves.

Yea, we could all do with forgetting our 'identities'.
