Bard spotting on Bluesky 18 September 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

she was "only" targeting transgender people, and no one with power had read & understood Niemöller. They all believe(d) that Brandenburg v Ohio is the settled law of the land, Jan 6 was a one-off, that Charlottesville was a one-off, there really were good people on both sides, it can't happen here

literally and metabolically, (@mumbly-joe.bsky.social):

I am fully convinced that the residents of Springfield would be a lot safer today if the full power of the state had hammered Chaya Raichik into the ground two years ago instead of letting her tactics metastasize.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Kurt Gödel claimed to have found an "inner contradiction" in the US Constitution which would allow the US to be legally turned into a dictatorship.

We are living through the process of an oligarchy reaching as hard as they can through that loophole.

Gödel's Loophole - Wikipedia

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

[Gödel] was an Austrian by birth and, having lived through the 1933 coup d'état and escaped from Nazi Germany after the Anschluss, had reason to be concerned about living in a fascist dictatorship.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In the course of the examination, [the citizenship judge] Forman asked Gödel what the government of Austria was, to which he replied: "It was a republic, but the constitution was such that it finally was changed into a dictatorship."

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They don't even have to know what the loophole is. They only have to know that Gödel, a neurotic Jewish man with analytical insight unparalleled in history, saw the flaw.

All they have to do is have faith it's there, and push.
