It’s amazing how lacking an understanding of materialism fails to hold powerful people accountable. Surely no theorists warned about conflating reduced harm with harm-reduction.

Politicians can just not harm. Them reducing the harm they do isn’t a good thing.

Anyway, that was a fun thread.

    Fun fact, Nimrod was a character in the Torah renowned for his hunting skill, so when Bugs Bunny referred to Elmer Fudd as a Nimrod it was an ironic reference. The American public didn’t catch the allusion, and so instead it became synonymous with “idiot” or “oaf.”

    Anyway the anvil will just cause a five inch lump on his head that he’ll hammer back in with his fist and’ll be right as rain, doesn’t even need a doctor visit, so no harm done in the first place, really.
