I’m 2 paragraphs in and I’m tapping out, I’m pretty sure I can feel my brain melting from the inside and I don’t wanna make a mess on my keyboard by reading further.
And why is it called tapping out? That’s right, because in professional wrestling, those who give up the fight tap the floor! They’re teaching your kids to give up! 😡
I mean, that one’s actually accurate, yeah?
They don’t actually teach kids to do anything.
If at first you don’t succeed, leap 18 feet off he’ll in a cell and crash through the announcers table!
Good for you. I only made it to berth
The president represent leadership. What is lead? A poisonous metal. And the president? Like the dent left in a baby’s head when the nurse drops him in the maternity ward.
It all lines up, folks.
You’re probably right to do so. It just gets more painful.
Why are they so infatuated with this weirdo naval law thing they have going on? Like asking judges if they adjudicate under banner of a maritime vessel according to the Queen of Roxbury statute because otherwise their conveyance would be considered void by rite of Shaka when the walls fell. They just love maritime law for some reason.
They have this weird theory that the naval courts took over all the other courts a few centuries ago. Under the secret command of the Templars, of course (who secretly control the Red Cross, the Swiss, and the British Royalty—you can tell by the red crosses on their stuff).
I believe there is also a sub-set that believe that because they are not under US law, that only maritime law can apply to them.
I think it’s more like they think that since they’re not a ship, unlike the rest of us sheeple (shiple?) that maritime law doesn’t apply.

But blue dude, when the dock-ore signed?
Stormee, when the P. Barnes stopped her. A camera, in the courthouse.
The law of the sea. Who doesn’t love that?

Maybe it’s more fun being a secret society that runs the world if the only people who can figure it out are the stupidest fuckers in the world
Hey I like this. It’s kind of a conspiracy theory all of its own.
Nothing’s worse than a funny illuminatus 🧐
When exactly did reddit figure it out?

They’re living in a fairy tale. So to them, government works like making a deal with the devil: he’s allowed to deceive you but he can’t lie to you.
Father of lies. Not allowed to lie.
Hmm, yep, totally no issues there.
That’s because They doesn’t want you to know about what’s actually going on, which is placed in plain sight.
This is a sort of word salad / free association / confabulation that is typical of schizophrenia
What in the flying hell is a “dock-ore”?
Obviously it means dock, as in where a ship moors, and ore, a common product on ships /s
But unironocally, that’s probably exactly their reasoning…
A buck gets ten you’re exactly right.
Maybe he meant dock-oar. Like a contrived term for a rower of a boat, and just didn’t think to check the difference between ore and oar. Not that it’s any less stupid
Oh no, it’s better than that. Doctor sounds like Dock-ore and ore sounds like oar so everything related to giving birth is actually nautical themed, and this is the reason the US court system (which is all a naval court system by the way) has legal power over people.
The Dock-Ore brings in the valuable ore/cargo (the baby, for the sane folks playing along at home) and takes blood samples from the sole of the baby’s feet (and sole sounds like soul, so they’re actually taking soul samples) so the US government can claim you as property and auction off your DNA.
You know how when you’re a teenager, you’re told you should “grow up and get a job”? Ever notice how “job” also refers to biblical texts that say at the end of your inevitable suffering, God will be with you, for he is just? Also worth noting: suffering is very close to surfing, i.e. travel via ocean, which is like a boat. Another big boat was the ark, pointing again! to the Bible. Remember when I said “grow up” earlier? That is probably because it is so close to “group”, which, with the other noted connotations, ties in with biblical stories = Bible Group. Because all of these messages come together when you are a teen, obviously we are talking about children’s Bible study. “Children’s” can be shortened to the word “chirruns”, aka “trains” so Trains Bible Study would be manufacturers instructions for freight trains, which could *also" mean “fraught trains”, because ghosts.
You were worryingly good at that…
This is like Billy Madison’s answer to the Industrial Revolution question.
I do feel dumber after reading it
…and may God have mercy on your soul.
The fallacy, among others, they’re committing is called equivocation, by the way. They use a meaning of one word one minute and another the next, when it suits them to win the confrontation.
This is why debate and talking don’t actually solve problems. People can and will just do stupid shit like this in bad faith to get you to acquiesce to them or stop challenging them.
People like that need ass-beatings until they’re willing to conform to the dictionary’s definitions of words and the rules of debate.
They don’t need beatings, they need high doses of Haloperidol.
Have you ever thought about about words? Have you ever thought about how some words mean some thing, while other words mean a different thing?
Words, man.
The hospital thing is partly true, though meaningless when it comes to avoiding taxes or speeding tickets. They weren’t really a private army of the Vatican, though they did have knights and stuff. Extremely interesting fact: the Knights Hospitalier had a large (non-combat) air force for a minute due to technically being a country with no land. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1151832864494903296.html
Oh that is interesting, thank you!
You betcha, corporation doing business as BonesOfTheMoon!
Took some googling but found the actual book the quote is from.
I am of a firm belief that what words we use do matter a lot and shapes our perception of the world but this is some outlandish shit
Edit: Link to book on drive
I believe the reason for that high rating is a form of selection bias maybe? Like if you go to IMDb you will see that live performances have a very high rating and I think is that you only gonna watch and rate if you are already fan of the band. In this case normal people are not gonna buy and read this book, only people who already agree with this nonsense.
That’s a pretty convoluted way to say people are required to work under our (or really any realistic) economy.
This has to be a troll.
Please be a troll.
It’s a book!
The book store near where I grew up had a section with all these types of books. When I was young, I went out of my way to check them out because I was fascinated with ufo’s and conspiracies and wanted to buy one. I remember flipping through a few books and it was all pure word salad. I was like, how am I supposed to learn about all these cool supposed theories when they’ve all lost the ability to command the English language let alone some sort of coherent narrative thread.
I did read a few pages of a book like this once in a bookstore I worked in, had a bit more of a religious bent. We used to read each other passages of crazy for amusement. I’m sure there’s plenty of conservative Christians who believe this stuff. Ever seen snake handling church?
It looks more like a sincere but mentally ill person to me. But there’s no way to know.
The Venn diagram overlap of people who know how to insert footnotes and people with untreated Schizophrenia must be pretty small.
It feels like I’m reading a 4chan shitpost from someone who actually bought into all the fucking stupidity, but trimmed the part blasting the ships of relation, friend and owner.
