you’re confusing the actual Guy Fawkes with the symbol of Guy Fawkes….
it means something quite different now

i dunno… i didn’t take it as such a literal parable for what we should do to enact change…
more of a metaphorical, as well as cautionary tale….

actually Jonestown used Flavor-Ade… a generic koolaid

i thought V was pretty good…

the “paradox of tolerance”, really…
the philosophical issue is: who would decide what’s free speech and what’s not?
e.g. i know someone who was charged with “starting a riot” for staying at a protest camp, protesting the genocide in Palestine….
there was nothing close to a riot.
similar protestors have been called antisemitic and supporters of Hamas… by Kamala Harris….
that could easily be flipped to, “oh they’re intolerant of jewish people, not free speech, arrest them all” by some judge or cop somewhere….
…
the SPLC has done a good job of suing hate groups when individuals act on their hateful rhetoric… but the very freedom to speak and say “things should be like this!”, must be held as sacrosanct…
~plus, we can follow them home if they speak in public.~

he kicked it so hard it turned into sawdust

40 minutes door to door with that

if you’re extremely wealthy, it’s doable

reminds me of when i had a backpack with all my stuff stolen by knifepoint….

also, get another one. i’d bet the person that bought it for you was hoping to play games with you…

i have been to Chicago many times and used to live in NYC… i’ve also used public transit in many other cities…
door-to-door in 20 minutes is absolute fantasy… you’re not getting to the train station in 20 minutes… especially not from if you have to take a bus.
oh and i used to live and work in manhattan and never pulled off a 20 minute door-to-door trip….

yeah but look at how much those trades pay in Manhattan

if only there was a city with a decent train system where you could feasibly get home in 20 minutes… door to door…
