The Fallacies of Voting ID Opponents

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on April 13 2021 06:53 zulu

Oh the uninspired Fallacies of Voting ID Opponents - the simplicity of simple-minded PREVARICATORS, SO EASILY DEFEATED.

Since I was already writing, I spent - at most - 14-minutes imagining and drawing a voter identification process using existing, and free, federal requirements.

Double All Student Loan Debt as a Tax on Stupidity

No You Are Not a Hero and We are not In this together

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on April 08 2021 02:45 zulu

"WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER... WITH OUR HEREOS..."

No and no.

Again and again and again businesses must append contrived sentiments of 'heroism' to their products. How pathetic these companies promoting campaigns of consumer manipulation and retail auto-eroticism; wherein everyone from mask-wearing, self-righteous beldams to physicians' front-desk administrators are portrayed as intrepid heroes, sacrificing their mortality to selflessly move among the plague-ridden masses...

 

No. Although tragic, this is not The Plague.

Just another opportunity for narcissists to justify their authoritarian hypochondria.

Just another opportunity for harridans to assuage their empty lives by controlling the lives of others.More...

Tantrum and revisionism are not awarded...

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on February 07 2021 03:48 zulu

The 'Newspeak' image below -  insanity - no, not a prop from the film '1984'; rather, the delusion of the Left, of Progressives - the continuance of their redistributive circle-jerk.

LIES are TRUTH, DIVERSITY is HOMOGENEITY, TOLERANCE is INTOLERANCE, and INCLUSION is SEGREGATION.

The Left has not yet understood: they intimidate no one, but amuse most. They cry louder yet hear only the echo of apathy...

Thirty-One Years This Month

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on February 02 2021 00:16 zulu

This month, married 31-years.

 

For the Worshippers of Absurdities, indulge my toxic alpha-malesplanation:

I have been engaged in a contractual cisgender binary campaign with the willing victim of my patriarchal oppression for 31 (count all your fingers three times, and on the fourth time, only your thumb) years.

I understand this must be soul-dispairing for the 'Social-Progressives', cultural Marxists, and Beta-Males of SJW Sascrotches, whose only devoted and true life-partner can be identified with the phrase, "... please raise your right hand..."

This 4th of July - Burn the CCP Flag

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on January 19 2021 10:04 zulu

I cannot emphasize that the people of China deserve no animosity - with each interaction, I have been overwhelmed by the friendliness and courtesy of the Chinese people.

... the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the other... the world ignores their oppression of Hong Kong, an offense the populace of Hong Kong will not forget.

So, I created this graphic for anyone to use. Purchase a cheap Chinese flag; symbol of the CCP, and on the 4th of July 2021, BURN IT as a message to the Chinese Communist Party:

"... continue your arrogance toward the United States and Hong Kong... first your flag & then YOU..."

First Movie Correction - The French in Sherlock Holmes

I ignore mistakes in movies; if the narrative delivers entertainment, I consider errors moments of creative license.

Absence of Strategy empowered BIG TECH censorship

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on January 13 2021 14:46 zulu

So how was the fight against election fraud a failure?

 

Since the November 2020 election, the conflict against alleged fraud has been conducted with nonsensical incompetence.

The January inauguration represents not the triumph of Joe Biden - a fraudulent triumph is still a loss - rather, the chaotic ineptitude of his opposition; President Trump et al., who pursued justice with complete - no, transcendent - absence of strategy, coordination, and persuasion.

Expressing such a judgement will; I am certain, elicit the outrage of reactionaries & the rapture of demagogues.

→ Truth is not vindicated through outrage or hope.

Time Is Far More Dispassionate Predator Than Men Like Bezos

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on January 12 2021 10:31 zulu

I have never understood men as Jeff Bezos. They pass through life with the conviction that INFLUENCE and CONROL will stay inexorable Mortality.

 

Yet as I read various chronicles of history, people like Bezos are forgotten; and of the very few remembered, their names are mere trivia, and their accomplishments nothing more than a few unread and insignificant passages within some decayed book.

My political compass reveals leadership style

I have never been concerned with others knowing my political compass; since, I believe the most effective leaders to be libertarian - sincerely, others could do no better than a libertarian in a position of authority.

 

I believe that my Leadership Style and Values must be common among libertarians:

>    Leads by example; not claims or assertions ('trust me')

>    Neither authoritarian nor manipulative

>    Concerned with solutions; not blame

>    Leads others; no interest in controling others

>    Will NOT micro-manage or surveille - the team must be trusted

>    No hesitation to speak opinion with complete sincerity

>    Judges personal success by success of employees and team members

>    Egalitarian work environment More...

Oh how I wish. As the Election 2020 ballots are verified, there remains a possibility - though I doubt President Trump will prevail - that the Biden/Harris team claimed the "WINNER" title rather too precipitously.

The U.S. Civil War, Part II the Conclusion

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on November 06 2020 02:41 zulu

Curious - to what extent do mass voter fraud, destruction of cities, and a stolen presidency justify civil war?

If the veritable will of the People, the vote of each citizen, perishes beneath the oppressive burden of election collusion and fraud - is this, then, not 'Taxation Without Representation'? Is this, then, not as the Founders prescribed '...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends...'?

I am not attempting to agitate others' cowardice - calling upon civil war to drag the passive yet outraged masses from their La-Z-Boys to forfeit cable television and fantasy football for resistive action; no, not at all. The masses are and have always been verbally defiant when secured against privacy's bosom, yet reveal themselves to be sheep, obsequious and docile, in the presence of authority; a recreant herd all too ready to sacrifice their neighbors and family for promised security and coddling. 

Indisputably true considering documented history narrates - narrates to them with reading comprehension - that only a risible minority of colonists wanted to stand defiant against England, while the vaster majority preferred deferential subservience to the Monarchy.

Yes, the founding of the United States of America resulted from the action of a very few to liberate the undeserving many.

Election events subsequent the aggressions of the collective Leftists offer fascinating insight into the latent yet fomenting sentiment leading up to the first U.S., Civil War, and writing with sincerity, I believe no other resolution remains now and hereafter than bifurcation of a country. The cognitive, political and philosophical disparities have become oil and water. Neither compromise nor common ground remains. The Constitution has become too mutable and fragile to unite Individualists and Collectivists, Socialism and Capitalism, the Authoritarian and the Free.

I have analyzed the strategies and probabilities of such a conflict; although I could explain, for the reader I will simply write that in none does any government prevail against even a mere 2% of a population equal to that of the U.S.; yes, notwithstanding the advanced ordinance of a military, success is not possible against the smallest percentage of 331 million citizens, and any retaliation by a government would serve only to increase that percentage by logarithmic scale. The riots of these months passed expose the debility of an authoritarian regime against citizens passionate and motivated.

In my analyses, the United States now and hereafter is an inexorable subdivision into two autonomous nations; perhaps a socialist government united by centralized authority, which I would title the Federal States of America; and the other a free-market and libertarian unity among states titled the Sovereign States of America.

L. Nicholas de Lioncourt when still an artist in 1994

L. Nicholas de Lioncourt, the artist era 1994. Yes, before De Lioncourt, LLC., and before my career in technology, I was a fine artist. In the photograph, I had just started this acrylics on board artwork, and at this stage the piece was still a vastly incomplete underpainting. I had aspired to combine the Pre-Raphaelite style, with some elements rendered almost impressionistic and others, hyper-realistic. Why I ended this stage of my life so abruptly; almost overnight, is a complex narrative on the mutability of the mind, facing truths about yourself, and the advent of the Internet.

 

The work in the next photograph is a completed piece demonstrating my style. This was to be part of a series featuring abbey ruins - in this piece a stained-glass cloister. Created using acrylics applied with brushes, toned with Iwata airbrushes, on sealed 3-feet wide x 4-feet tall hardboard, 1995.

Artwork © 1995 L. Nicholas de Lioncourt, designer and creator. Yes, I removed as much of my face as possible! For the spotlights to emphasize; not glare on, the art, the glare was focused on my face just as I made a funny - and hideously silly - expression.

A Domestic Cold War

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on May 16 2020 00:50 zulu

Against the Soviet Union, the populace of the United States engaged a Cold War.

Against Leftists, a majority of the United States is engaged in a Domestic Cold Civil War of irreconcilable differences; both sides already at critical mass. There may no longer be compromise or mutual tolerance in politics, culture, principles, philosophy - the left and right must separate.

The Left and Right must separate - no other options remain.

One nation federal socialism.

One nation a libertarian alliance of states.

The only solution is bifurcation; writing with metaphor, a cultural divorce, preferably peaceable; if not, so be it.

So be it.

How I would restore Doctor Who after Chibnall

by   Nicholas de Lioncourt on February 23 2019 12:14 zulu

Peter Capaldi was the final TRUE Doctor Who
(... originally a private May 2018 entry in my personal writing journal; copied herein with limited abridgement.)

In the 1970s and 1980s, children - that is to write, those misfits of youthful social strata - could be classified according to their fantastical passions: Star Wars, Star Trek, Comic Book Super Heroes, et al., yet through some congenital eccentricity (I assume this to have been the same cosmic antic that manifest me as a Depeche Mode and Visage fan), I did not enjoy comic books and thought the Superman movies nonsensical.

While I shared common enthusiasm for Star Trek and Star Wars, not once did I envision myself giving commands aboard the Enterprise or running through swamps of Dagobah with a verdant raisin instructing me in the ways of The Force.

No.

I wanted to be Doctor Who. I wanted to live in the TARDIS.

Unfortunately, living in the South-Eastern United States, I had no one with whom to share my devotion, to role-play as Tom Baker or Peter Davison, to discuss the latest episodic events; no, and not until the ascendency of the Internet did I know there had been many other social oddities like me - others with passion for Doctor Who - others whom the technical limitations of my own childhood made inaccessible in those influential and lonely years.
