Anarchists in the news

Republican Party news channel is lambasting an anarchist conspiracy to imperil the lives of jackbooted minions First Responders™ who are simply following orders. The orders sclerotic Kleptocracy parties give to officers is to rush out there with service pistols to initiate the use of force against the peaceful. Unlike Libertarian candidates, they justify this by horrible scenarios of what they imagine would happen without force-initiating laws creating victimless “crimes.”

Those same arguments brought the Prohibition Amendment, and not one of its proponents prophesied the 1929 Crash and Great Depression.(link) They blame THAT on too much freedom as well. Now, when Kleptocracy minions learn about the Second Law of Retaliation, guess who Faux News, MSNBC, CNN and CPUSA will blame? 

Pinhead: “Only First-Responder™ endangering Anarchists are Libertarians!” (link)

For the past couple of hundred years anarchist has meant violent communist.(link) But as soon as the Libertarian party platform stopped race-suicide Dixiecrats from threatening doctors and pregnant women, in 1973, communist infiltrators occupied the Libertarian Party and began jumping in front of cameras and proclaiming that only murder-legalizing anarchists are Real Libertarians™.(link)

Importation of undesirables, terrorists, public charges, infected herds–Party Platform contamination!

Democrats and Republicans were quick to agree with this guilt-by-association method of tarbrushing an honest competitor.(link) In 1975, Republican opinionist James Kilpatrick was smearing Libertarians as communist anarchists. Nowadays communist infiltrators posing as candidates, delegates and even directors are rewriting the party platform to redefine all libertarians as bomb-throwing anarchists. With friends like these…

Who needs enemies?(link)

So fifth-column non-libertarians (the Mises Caucus) failed to nominate mental institution candidate Das Boothead for president, but nevertheless foisted his MS male companion and communist anarchist “Spike” onto Jo Jorgensen’s campaign in a blatant act of sabotage.(link)  Now the chickens are coming home to roost and Republicans are greeting this imitation game with whoops of joy.

With little effort, Ted Cruz may declare the Libertarian Party the real terrorist organization, arrest our candidates and apologize to Antifa rioters and arsonists for having mistaken them for “Libertarian anarchists.”(link) With our 2016 platform a pro-choice candidate tripled our vote share.(link) Remember that when the communist anarchist takeover and terrorists-without-borders plank plunges the LP back down to the half-percent vote share typical of antichoice candidates running on a pederasty platform.

LP Spoiler Votes WERE increasing by 80% per year…

Amazon review censored?

Obnoxious creep

Lots of folks are whining that Tweeter, Farcebuke and ilk are “censoring” their communications. I just had Amazon refuse to post this review of their Gift Cards:

Worked 2 mos ago, failed just now

I sent one to another country and it worked fine. But when I tried to send to a friend in Texas, the interface kept blocking the purchase and demanding more input after–by my lights–all the fields were filled in. I finally gave up trying.

Amazon replied with this:

Thank you for submitting a customer review on Amazon. After carefully reviewing your submission, your review could not be posted to the website. While we appreciate your time and comments, reviews must adhere to the following guidelines: …

A few common issues to keep in mind:

Your review should focus on specific features of the product and your experience with it. Feedback on the seller or your shipment experience should be provided at http://www.amazon.com/feedback.
We do not allow profane or obscene content. This applies to adult products too.
Advertisements, promotional material or repeated posts that make the same point excessively are considered spam.
Please do not include URLs external to Amazon or personally identifiable content in your review.
Any attempt to manipulate Community content or features, including contributing false, misleading, or inauthentic content, is strictly prohibited.

So there it is. I tried to send a gift card to someone I’ve known for years. The interface refused to work and did nothing in the way of pointing out anything I had failed to notice. On the off chance they had failed to notice their interface was being unhelpful and refusing to accept money, I replied with my honest impression, and blam. My guess is they figure I was disappointed by the interface, not the product, and, well, there are organizations that consider their interfaces infallible, hence, above all caviling.

I’m not particularly upset and still plan to send my friend some other present from Amazon. There is probably a failure to communicate here. I may have overlooked something, and Amazon could just as easily program their algos to point to what it was and maybe even scold me for being so blind. I do not imagine there is some sinister conspiracy to shut me up. Quite possibly their algos flipped my flippant remark into a pidgeonhole for hostile cranks.

I do not doubt anything as successful as Amazon gets its share of hostile cranks. Even my own pitiful website has been hacked. I even got a fake ransom demand message pfrom a phake phishing pfor phools near Pflugerville (as if I were rich and famous).

It is possible that social media algos also do “judgment” calls of the sort. Something called Akismet searches my blog comments and accurately identifies spam–and algos are not famous for being smart. I wish I had half as good an algo looking over my gift card purchase attempts. Next time I try to send a gift card I am going to have a witness watching to spot what I might have missed.

Amazon did let me publish Prohibition and The Crash, a searching investigation into the causes of the 1929 Crash and Great Depression, on Kindle format. Buy it for the price of a chilly pint of craft beer.
