That's a big list. An impressive start.

I'll add that to this other big list and try to organize it somehow...

EDIT: Also, were you serious about "free Tibet"?

[–]useless_aether 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

about "free Tibet"?

yes. i think they need to be a free, independent nation. the only way to preserve their unique culture / traditions. it also important to weaken china and to decentralize things in general.

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I agree on all counts.

In addition, it's also important to understand Tibet as a pawn and as a tyrannical state.

We're supposed to hate China when it comes to Tibet. But if China were to give up Tibet do you think they'd really be free? Or would they be scooped up by India who still has deep roots and ties with the United Kingdom and Western powers.

The Dalai Llama seems like a nice guy. It's not difficult to scratch the surface to find some pretty appalling things though, like his racism and other weird ideas. Furthermore, all the gold and wealth in the Tibetan monasteries did not arrive there by accident. That wealth was beaten out of the poor civilian population - not by choice.

These two angles don't detract from your valid statements so much as round it out with more perspectives.

Here's a question you might consider... How many districts, states, territories, and countries does the USA control, directly or indirectly, where the people don't get a vote - and is there any way we can free them as a good example before we free Tibet?

idk, good q. often voting doesnt do anything tho. just a lipstick on a pig.

It's more than that. Non voting districts also don't have voting representation. Taxation without...
REVOLUTION!!!

I know right?

So why don't they at least symbolically give them the vote. Because they are literally repressing them to their face.

For over 40 ways they can rig the vote : https://infogalactic.com/info/Truther#Voting_is_a_joke

I'm going turn that into a top 20 too.

[–]useless_aether 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

hey thats a pretty comprehensive list too :-)

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

It's growing.

Maybe out of control.

Maybe I bit off more than I can chew. No maybe's about it. One step at a time. This week I'll try organizing it a bit more and maybe add citations to the 9/11 list, and maybe pick out next weeks target. Got a fave or short list?

[–]useless_aether 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

top20 whistleblowers

top20 deep state operatives in the us now

top20 secret black budget projects (i know, its a tough one, but project manhattan would qualify)

top20 client states of america

top20 false flags in history

Yeah, I dunno. Just some stuff stupid naval hilarity.
I got nothing on you two in the hidden state actors Dept., So I figured I'd juxtapose the subject and throw in one of the stupidest govt investigations of all time.

"Who is this Dorothy...?"

that story is spot on! symbols rule the world and its true. the song from the movie wizard of oz "somewhere, over the RAINBOW". not only its a gay symbol, and above all else its luciferian, because the rainbow is the spectrum of light. lucifer is the 'light-bearer'

also the phrasing of that article is hilarious :-)

NICE! Actually EXCELLENT! Even BRILLIANT!

A lot of folks, myself included, have listed problems, often that break down into lots of specific problems with elaborate explanations requiring context and holistic understanding of corruption, but these are concrete easy(ish) lists to make. ...When you actually add "Top 20" in front of them.

Makes me think of...

Top20 Limited Hangouts On The Left

Top20 Limited Hangouts On The Right

Top20 Limited Hangouts On Neither Left Nor Right

[–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Ooooh, dance-off... I mean, inspire-off... I mean, truth-off... I mean, tell-off...

You know what I mean.

fyi, i requested an infogalactic acc, i dont have any big plans, just to augment my top20 list with links etc.

Also, for you, my courageous friend : https://infogalactic.com/info/Truther_Top_20s#Truther_Top_20_:_Truthers_.26_SaidIt_Users_On_InfoGalactic

Though, I should have asked first if you wanted to be included.

I'd be interesting in hearing how long it takes to be approved. I forget now.

Be cautious with IG. I've never had any significant problems in my few years there, but I've also not gotten much feedback. And I simply don't trust an eerie quiet. Or a non-responsive administrator.

[–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

cool, but im sure most saidit users/admins would make that list

re ig, thanks, good to know, at first i was like, why are they using saturn symbology in their logo? but then i decided i will accept that its a galaxy... i will try not to get doxed by them :-)

[–]JasonCarswell[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I don't know that anyone else has joined InfoGalactic, so unless they do they don't make the list. I just got so excited because to my knowledge I've be the only lone soul lefty and/or anarchist and/or truther on there for the couple/few years I've been there. And it's only been active since 2015 or so. I got so excited I started the list, a long list of two. I think I jumped the gun. Assuming folks don't mind it, it may be useful for communicating. But after reflection, putting names on lists gets some people nervous. Personally I don't give a fuuuuuck. I use my real name because I'm that open. Maybe it will bite me in the ass. I hope, in a very minor way, it gives people courage. If "they" want to find you they'll find you. I'm just making it easier.

Let me know if you think the list is as stupid as I do, or if you think it has any merit.

The logo is unique so far as I know, but I don't think it's particularly great. It's also poorly rendered. Those were my first thoughts. More pressing in my mind was how stupid I thought the name was. It's adequate but has issues. Galactic is about the size of the ego who came up with it. Further it sounds more like some sci-fi thing. It doesn't convey encyclopedia, free speech, nor alternative anything much less alt-right. Uncensorpedia or Speakfreedia or Opencyclopedia would have been better. Further, aside from the logo you wouldn't know it wasn't Wikipedia. A few minor surface changes and it would distinguish itself instead of being a cheap knockoff copy. Wikispooks went purple and I would use it more but it's painfully slow. RationalWiki is not rational but at least they've embraced colour too.

Finally another human. A truther even. Not on behalf of IG, but welcome from me.

I hope you don't mind. I wrote you a whole long thing that I realized might be better as a new sub. Thus...

https://saidit.net/s/InfoGalactic/ was born.
