Is this real? The edits are cracking me up....

Introducing: Conflict Resolution Advisory Council

We will form a unique system called the Conflict Resolution Advisory Council.

We hold a community democratic vote to appoint three people to the Council. To eliminate prejudice, we elect one Black man, one Black woman, and one white woman. Each person should undergo at least one 45 minute sensitivity and political training session which we can help organize.

Whenever there is an internal conflict in the Zone, it will be put to the Council. Both people will have an opportunity to present their side of the story to the Council to review.

The Council members will decide on a fair resolution and provide it as advice. Initially the Council will be advisory only. In the future the system could evolve to become more mature with binding resolutions, impositions, retribution, enforcement, and imprisonment.

The appointed people will hear out and settle any internal disputes within the Zone. We're not suggesting that this Council members become leaders or judges, only referees in case of internal conflicts.
Edit 1: After receiving feedback about inclusiveness we shall include in the council one Black man, one Black woman, one trans Black person, one non-binary Black person, and one white woman (5 4 people).
Edit 2: On more feedback we will add to the Council 1 Asian non-male, 1 Native American non-male, and 1 Latinx non-male, and then 4 additional Black men and women to balance it out. In total there are 3 + 4 + 4 = 11 members.
Edit 3: We've received some feedback about including disabledpersons (mental and physical) and homelesspersons on the Council. 20% or 40% of the Council should be persons with lived experience of disability. At least 10% should be experiencing involuntary homelessness.
Edit 4: We realize LGBTQIA communities are being under-represented in the Council so far and are working on proposals to rectify this. The final composition of the balanced Council will likely include 10-50% people who identify as LGBTQIA.
Edit 5: We have agreed to add 3 more seats, two of which are to give a voice to the disadvantaged LGBTQIA community, and one to give children equal representation and fairness. The new seats include one for a LGBTQI-identifying Black disabledperson, one for a LGBTQI-identifying Black homelessperson, and one for a non-white or mixed race child between the ages of 8 and 15.
Edit 6: There have been further concerns raised over the efficacy of the Council to deal with disputes between children, as children are currently not adequately represented. In light of the feedback, we will add child safety training programs to the onboarding session and add one additional seat for another non-white or mixed race child between the ages of 8 and 15 (preferably disabled).
Edit 7: We've heard your concerns about the Asian non-male seat representing all Asian subgroups as if they are a monolithic identity. That wasn't our intention. We will replace the Asian non-male seat with 12 mini-seats for each of the following Asian non-male identities: Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Cambodian, Taiwanese, Malaysian, Mongolian, Okinawan, Singaporean, and wildcard (any Asian identity, except Korean-American). The mini-seats will collectively hold the voting power of one seat.
Edit 8: We've been told that our Council under-represents those with a criminal record or incarceration experience, as white culture allows people to suffer a particular disadvantage because of past convictions. The Council will mandate that more than 25% of its members must have a violent criminal history with previous or current incarceration experience.
Edit 9: Some women have expressed to us that they wouldn't feel comfortable presenting a case involving a sexual offence to a Council that is partly made up of criminals with a history of committing sexual offences. We are placing a cap of 50% on the proportion of Council members who have performed one or more premeditated sexual assaults or rapes in the preceding twelve months. Homelesspersons and disabledpersons are exempt from this cap.

Except on Tuesdays in May falling on even numbered days, unless it rains, and there's a full moon.... in a leap year of course.........

Yeah it was fake but hilarious.  

Yeah, this is one of the things that I love/hate about modern America.....satire is DEAD.  There is no real way to discern the difference any longer.

Thus, ledge, scotch, watching the world burn.  But at least chuckling at times.

Citing a man who was behind PizzaGate is not a good way to build a credible concern troll

Resorting to ad hominem stupidity while blatantly ignoring what clearly illustrates the breaking of the federal gun laws I know you wish were tenfold is not a good way to build a credible concern troll either apparently....

It's not an ad hominem attack, I'm saying that he has a demonstrated history of fabricating evidence to push an agenda and storyline. Which resulted in a stochastic terrorist act. 

So before you rip your pearls off your neck while clutching them too hard, you should probably try to get at least a second independent source to his reporting

Nice to see him driving a carbon-neutral Tesla.

Good on the Tesla, now let's talk about WA state law about this chode handing a rifle to a kid - resulting in an illegal firearms transfer under RCW 9.41.113

Also I found out it's called CHOP now.

I also love the weirdness of this.

"Near one of the newly planted gardens, a person named Clem described the emerging community in terms of something called a “social change ecosystem,” in which participants take on critical roles, such as disrupters, builders, healers, experimenters and front-line responders, to create a new kind of society. “It isn’t just necessarily anarchy,” says Clem. “But it’s allowing people to do what they want to do.”"

Friend of mine who is a pretty high-up executive at a company you’ve all heard of drove down there with his daughter to check it out. He says the hype is unjustified. Basically a block party.

 

But the guy who broke PIZZAGATE told me that the militant left is appointing warlords to control the city! Who ever should I believe???

Yup. I've been a few times with some of my students. It's not really all that different than what's usually happening there....

Looking great guys!

 

I have seen the future, and it all looks like a series of skateboard/tattoo shops, with occasional small patches of dirt with gardeners rolling around in them.

They seriously need to put some revolutionary Chinamen and Mexicans in charge of aesthetics. There is a distinct shortage of murals where crowds of workers look upward towards a brighter future.

Of course it is. It's a giant urban version of Twin and Sculpture falls every Saturday in the summer. Anyone who is actually threatened by it is either stupid, trolling, or both. It's not even that interesting of a news story to deserve all the coverage it's gotten. It's like 5% the size of Bonnaroo, almost assuredly with way shittier drugs.

Paraphrasing LBJ "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best non-Republican, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Pretty much the epitome of this thread.

 

Mind explaining whose pockets are being picked?
