Anytime a government official says “I want to help you” I run the other way. I can’t tell if that is satire or self-preservation.

@Mirabella – “preventive censoring” makes sense in English, too, though it’s a bad policy anywhere, in English or Polish. And I understand about embarrassing presidents… I live in the USA.

//serious Vint:

I think firstly we indeed need the people to think about what is happening and encourage them to speak up. (Just as RL, actually.)

Anyway. You can always ‘lend’ a blogpost at my blog, and I’m sure Myg would be willing to post your poster/slogan/platform too.

I’d IM you, but apparently search, L$ balance, appearance and some other stuff is down.

On the more serious side, I think that political satire is the best weapon against Linden Labs policy. It does not change the course of their politics, but it does help the residents.
Lindens, besides constantly leaving the errors unfixed, seem to use preventive censoring now (I hope I got that right, maybe someone can translate the term “cenzura prewencyjna” from Polish to English ? ). After the recent election in my country it became a common policy. Yes, we fight it with satire, because there is nothing we can do (most of the people in my country are dedicated catholics).

Can I rule the Metverse … I mean … Can I be the governor ? I am good at blackmailing the opponents!
Oh, and Mr. Burgess, you talk exactly like the president in my country (unfortunately this one is not funny, it’s embarassing… *sighs*)
You guys make me want to have a blog (now, how can I do a magically apearing blog?) {error nr. 23345 – lack of time}.

Exactly. And in this brief lull before the madness and frenzy of the campaign is upon us I’d like to state the obvious:

Safety has a price, and that price is a little danger. Not the big danger of no war, but the little danger of the WAR ON DANGER. Because the danger of no war is no safety, and if there is no safety with no war, then it is clear that to be safe we must have war!
