Why does no one consider that the government are lying to us? There have been some who've talked about it, yeah, but no one really seriously thinks about it. But we know they've got the ability to change memories, haven't they? They can make people forget their lives here, or at least SOMEONE can. So why do we all think they haven't just done that? There's never been a group of people in power who didn't love to see their populace docile and harmless and quiet. They've got every reason to alter our memories and our thoughts so that we're nice and obedient to them.

Why are we swallowing what they tell us? Why aren't we questioning them? Why aren't we challenging them? We've got the power to make them scared, so why aren't we? We're powerful, and we'll fight for what's right if we've got the chance, so why AREN'T we doing that? We've got to organize. We've got to make change.

I didn't say they did it RIGHT. I'm saying people who stand up for their beliefs deserve respect, even if their beliefs are wrong.

[WOW HE JUST COPY/PASTED THAT LIKE A LAZY AND SMUG SUMBITCH.]

[kittenjones]

Do you know what a belief is?

[hieroinfant]

yep
got a dictionary on my phone, too.
doesn't change anything i've said.
i dont see you offering much more to back yourself up though

[kittenjones]

The government CARE ABOUT SELF-GRATIFICATION. That's NOT a belief. HONESTLY.

[hieroinfant]

does you caring about this all have nothing to do with what you believe?
they seem pretty related to me

[kittenjones]

What are you even talking about? That makes NO SENSE.

[hieroinfant]

if you're too stupid to follow then no ones gonna take anything you say seriously
which is probably for the bes6t

[kittenjones]

No. You're bad at communicating. You being unable to communicate has nothing to do with me being stupid. If you've got ideas, say them CLEARLY. Honestly.

[hieroinfant]

ok

1. what people care about is tied into what they believe
2. i don't think you can stand up to the same questioning you want to impose on others
3. i think this is because you're a goddamned idiot

[kittenjones]

Caring about money and material comfort has NOTHING to do with beliefs.

[hieroinfant]

or they believe money and material comfort makes their lives better
so they care about getting it

[kittenjones]

Do you think hunger is a belief?

[hieroinfant]

we're getting back to the 'you're a goddamned idiot' thing here

[HE'S SIGHING SO HARD. THIS IS NOT WORTH ANYONES TIME. but by now he's so embroiled in it.]

you could have picked almost anything else and you might have actually made a point
but you went with hunger
like you could have picked greed or lust or seriously anything else

and instead you're trying to compare going overboard with taking in more money than you need to a basic survival indicator

[kittenjones]

That's because it goes back to a survival instinct. I picked hunger because that's what this goes back to. A need for security and comfort. Comfort means being further from starvation. Power means having resources to fend off danger. People love authority because having authority means being king of the hill. It means having others bring you food. It's got hunger at its root.

[hieroinfant]

okay so lets ignore everything above this because its just getting dumber and i have a different question

what about the government here pisses you off?
like someone in particular? Or what?

[kittenjones]

You know, calling something stupid just because you're not happy arguing against it is a really bad habit.

[hieroinfant]

ok sure whatever
you gonna keep ignoring my question?

[kittenjones]

What makes me angry about the government is that they stand and watch their own people get killed and throw us great big parties instead of doing something about it. What makes me angry is that they lick our boots because they want us to fight for them. And what makes me angry is that I KNOW they've done something to my memories. I can feel it.

[hieroinfant]

im pretty sure if your memories were screwed up you wouldn't feel it. that's the point of screwing them up.
i got someone i know with screwed up memories right now and he doesn't 'feel' it. he's confused and lost and din't even know where he was. but it happened at the same time as a bunch of us changing in age.

back to the government what do you expect them to do?
their people were killed by those hornets you respect, a lot of which are imports. you're right they don't have power like we do. which is why they ask us to help them.

what did you do last time there was an attack? who did you fight or how many did you rescue?
