  • I don’t think we need to topple the system to make progress. But they can’t keep that wealth and power if we intend to live in a better world. Letting rich people write policy is a bit like letting the fox guard the henhouse. I’m not saying off with their heads, but we should set a practical cap on how much one person can own and at a minimum overturn Citizens United.


















  • Trolling is a art. Trolling should be done softly, and should leave plausible deniability until and unless you get to a point where blowing your cover maximizes lulz. Trolling should split the room into roughly the following groups: 85% bewildered bystanders, 10% angry, and 5% who see what you’re doing and either leave you alone or join in. Those numbers are fluid but the point holds that in an ideal situation the majority of people are either too confused to say anything or are on your side.

    As I’ve grown up (read: I am not a thirteen year old boy anymore) I’ve started to realize that beyond being mean-spirited bigotry is just not very lulzy. In general good trolling shines a light on how someone who is being loud about their very strong and very wrong opinions online is a complete moron. Annoying the fuck out of hate groups is also acceptable.

    Edit: there’s also just being weird and fucking with people by way of a harmless prank

    In conclusion trolling is a land of contrasts.
