    A: America and many other nations will soon need to create economic systems from the ground up. Capitalism and the rules we have to govern it, are just inertia with bandaids being used to keep it from hurling itself over a cliff. Socialism, Autoism (AI), and other ism’s we don’t know, will start outright replacing what we knew. The process will be chaotic and painful.

    B: The death penalty and quicker judgments should be a thing, at least for America. The wheels of justice are too slow - and explicit terrorists like ICE are allowed to roam freely. They should be rounded up and put to the rope. Should the good guys win a 2nd American Civil War, all members of ICE and MAGA should sway in the wind, so that their ideas and character are not passed down to future generations of humanity. The mistaken mercy granted to the Confederates and Nazis, should not be given to the Dogey.

    C: Peter Monyleux’s best games are Magic Carpet 1 & 2.

    D: AI is good, but we will need it to be publicly owned by society, freely available, and open-sourced to ensure that it remains that way. The social problems with AI largely stem from the wealthy exerting their influence over the poor, as they do in all things.

    E: The hardware drought for RAM and GPUs will pass, and we will have much better hardware choices for our local gaming and AI.

      If you are in favor of violent revolution, you are pro-death penalty. I see too many people that say they’re against the death penalty when it’s an existing state but then they claim to be Marxist-Leninist. If you’re a revolutionary leftist, you have people in mind who you want to give the death penalty.

        There was a time when I trusted rule of law. As we have seen from the Epstein Class and ICE, the application of law is very selective.

        In any case, there are lots of people that I indeed want to be dead. They harm society, and willfully do so. I don’t think prison can reform them, and they don’t offer anything of value if allowed to live within a prison’s walls. In such circumstances, I see no point in mercy.

        Mercy and prison, should be for rehabilitation or while waiting for courts to determine guilt. The prisons should be well appointed, they simply should be a fancy hotel people can’t leave while things are properly settled. In situations where we have clear footage, witnesses, and evidence, trials should be expedited.

        Say, for example, the masked ICE who murdered Pretti-Good. We can’t identify them due to masking, so we should arrest and execute a number of random ICE equal to the amount who participated in the killings. We can’t have accurate justice, because ICE deliberately engineered circumstances where we can’t tell who needs to be delivered Justice’s blade. But we shouldn’t prevent ICE from suffering consequences for their evil.

        It ain’t ideal, and I don’t like not being able to know who exactly deserves what…but the alternative is just to allow truly innocent people to die horribly for having done nothing wrong.
