@DharmaDog I remember a show testing how people follow instructions in public, so they created a taped path to a window for some service (can't remember, maybe driver's licence), and the path actually wrapped around a pole, and most folk just followed it without question.

@DharmaDog I get what this means but I think it would be more beneficial as a social message if this was followed up with a few examples of such behavior.

unusual zone of infecundity
@CynAq @DharmaDog fwiw there's one good example in the private sector, where a certain kind of bottom-feeding subhuman in a suit with a law degree will run an outfit that mass spams numerous potential defendants with an absolutely dogshit legal argument that's designed to sound really scary to anyone who hasn't done the legal analysis, then demands a settlement for $500-$800 which is always below what anyone would think it would cost them to talk to a lawyer about this

there are lawyers out there who hate this behaviour enough that they'd actually write a response for you for free

@DharmaDog This (subservience) is taught in primary school. Unlike accurate history.

@DharmaDog Another version is to attack anything Left-leaning but to ignore anything the Left do which leans Right. It's why British trees in open areas lean to the North-East. The strongest and prevailing winds come from the South-West, from across the Atlantic Ocean.

@pixplz If you'd asked politely, I might have explained. It's hard to know now.

@DharmaDog @GottaLaff Snyder is right I think we have to use his approach

β€œFind out just what any people will quietly submit to & you have found out the exact measure of injustice & wrong which will be imposed upon them, & these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

@DharmaDog obedience has caused more suffering and harm than disobedience ever could.
