 Attack ideas, not people.

You can't be "mean" to an idea. 
 but is an attack the right way at all?
I think constructive criticism and solutions will get us much further. 
 “Commies are idiots or evil” 
 There is always exceptions to insulting commies of course 
 😂😂😂😂

🙏 
 Quick question guys: 

Is this nostr:note14mdve7usw2ulfzmgl0f9cmp253yfsuulav53aaj52sphw34pg4lqsfx2jc a reply to the note I am replying to? If yes, why does my client not see the “link”? Relays? 
 ask Karl Marx please - he didnot get $5 salary raise from capitalist boss and yet entire Capitalist nations spend BILLIONS in Cold War budget got bankrupt 🤣 
 I don't know of any capitalist nations on earth.  As far as I know there never have been? 
 Fight war not wars, Destroy power not people. 
 people who identify with ideas are incapable of recognising the difference so expect blowback sometimes 
 The ultimate horrible; some people share the same project account vs project account. Drama ensues.  
 good IDEAS lives forever even if person DIEs 
 and who owns them then? 
 either nobody or everybody who practice the idea 
 you can be mean to ideas, in my country after being mean to ideas we say "if it fits, wear it" LOL 
 meme wars. 
 Attack ideas. Love your enemies 
 Right. People often say you should respect other people's beliefs, usually referring to their religion. 
I say, no, I respect people and their right to believe as they do, but I don't have to respect WHAT they believe. 
 i don't identify with my beliefs, they change too much, depending on new data

some data never changes

that's the stuff to hitch your horse to, it's not going anywhere

like the principle that there must be one law governing all physical reality, that's a horse hitching post if i ever saw one 
 🤝 
 Facts 
 The problem is people don't have ideas, ideas have people.  
 Sure you can.
Men cannot be women 
PERIOD
