In History's Dark Alleyways

 


Is there political division in the country that separates those in favor of murder from ambush from those opposed? Is there really a murder-from-ambush subset?

Sanity has a significant cultural component. Cannibalism in New Guinea is not the same as in Cleveland.

So, when did Kirk's opinions and beliefs lose diversity approval and go on the Index? Who makes that Index?

In History's Dark Alleyways

Perhaps the Internet is not a diversity tool at all. Maybe it is so vast that it allows clusters of people who would otherwise be outliers, but on the large and empty internet sit like desert tribes, isolated and self-contained. Each, in essence, has its own culture, with its own laws, rituals, initiations, and expulsions, underlying faith-based dogmas and unchallenged assumptions. Coming upon it on social media sites is like encountering a new tribe in the jungle, unique and strange.

This implies these groups are isolated and alone in our neutral and unjudging cultural desert. 

Kayapo with automatics.
