		<description><![CDATA[Being that we&#039;re already at world-historically unprecedented and unimaginable levels of repression, and that such repression continues to escalate at a pace ever more rapid and shocking, it is rather difficult to imagine that calling into question the looters&#039; formerly unquestioned physical safety will suddenly cause much more repression to be implemented.

Ponder that sensitive young men like Luigi Mangione wouldn&#039;t have felt the need to avail themselves of the justice system if the violence system hadn&#039;t made hospital chains and pharmaceutical conglomerates functionally above the lawl.

Oh, well! You can&#039;t mix the creamer out of the coffee.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Cremieux is extremely smart and honest. Trust his (her? don’t know don’t care) statements.”

My understanding is that he&#039;s an Israeli male.

Anyway: High-INT/ultra-low-WIS build.  You can trust his analysis, but never trust his conclusions or his judgement, and you always ought to question the notion that he&#039;s analyzing the right thing. (As here, where he&#039;s not -- where he&#039;s self-evidently hyperfocusing on a cogwheel in a larger machine and drawing conclusions that are completely removed from important context.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cremieux is extremely smart and honest. Trust his (her? don&#039;t know don&#039;t care) statements.

That said.

US Healthcare costs are maybe 75% D patronage shakedowns.

1) D Obama&#039;s shakedown raised the cost maybe 25%.

2) Like every big business in the US, healthcare providers are required by law to take a large percentage of D patronage hires. D Patronage hires are D party members first, maybe do the day job as well if they want. It is their duty to the D party to report whoever is least loyal to the D party line.

3) DEI D party shakedowns make this worse by putting D patronage hires in charge. If they happen to like doing their day job as well, great, but D party loyalty comes first.

4) Mischievous suits in D party courts further shake down US healthcare.

5) D party importing tens of millions of D ringers plus mischievous suits in D party courts require hospitals to provide care to illegal immigrants who will not and cannot pay. A huge population of diseased illegals would spread disease to citizens anyway, so this would be a burden on US healthcare anyway.

6) Trauma cases increase from D party shakedowns on policing.

7) Much more.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Christopher Badcock wrote:

thought-policing — and indeed all dogmatic intolerance of differing points of view — amounts to an autistic-like denial of what the agent regards as others’ false beliefs. Indeed, leading authorities on Asperger’s syndrome comment that some high-functioning autistics go into so-called “God mode” and become “an omnipotent person who never makes a mistake, cannot be wrong and whose intelligence must be worshipped” (see T. Attwood, The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome). Clearly though, this cuts both ways, and people who routinely are in ‘God mode’ where others’ speech and beliefs are concerned could be seen as acting like autistics, with thought-policing as an institutionalised deficit in appreciation of false belief.

Crémieux felt his ears burning when Badcock wrote that.

		<description><![CDATA[Has Crémieux done anything with his life to indicate that his opinions are worthwhile? Did he get elected to office? Did he track down intensional jewel thieves? Did he invent a better light bulb? Or is he another guy who got good grades in high school and then failed to live up to his parents&#039; expectations? I don&#039;t trust the police who claim to have captured Luigi. If Luigi actually wrote the manifesto then maybe Crémieux has some ground for argument. That does not mean Crémieux&#039;s argument is worthwhile.  I will research his social status before I write a rebuttal, but whether or not Luigi pulled that trigger,  Crémieux does not deserve to sit on a high horse.]]></description>
