Most people will learn most of what they know about him immediately after he died. A period of not speaking ill of the dead is unduly biased towards his supporters.
If you're literally at his funeral then it's fair to stop people from dancing on his grave. Not in the world wide web.

Yes, I would sooner prefer my enemies be suppressed from coordinating so that only a small, least inhibited fraction lashes out with random violence. I know it because my side is suppressed in such a way in my country and I would prefer the opposite.

Why would I want the enemy to coordinate violence against me rather than perform uncoordinated violence (and, assuming that people aren't yet persuaded of his point of view, get shut down)?

Now that you mention it, I don't see any surface connection between darts and sacrifice, either.
Going purely by price, a PlayStation 5 is more an adult toy than darts.

I fail to see the deep connection between darts and sacrifice, or the reason for why bashing out a few Mortal Kombat matches with the boys can't be considered mingling the way pool is.
"Video games are for children -> but what about them gaining popularity with adults -> then the adults are childish" is circular. I suggest you find something other than surface aesthetics to classify entertainment as childish vs. mature.

The government enjoys massive political will among all strata of society to prosecute CP with great prejudice, just a bit less than actual child molestation. I think expanding that to arbitrary definitions of coomery will be a bit harder than "no problem".

You could argue that the rich, smart and highly-engaged parents' children are really the only ones who are needed for progress, while the rest can either brainrot themselves or live in digital hothouse conditions until independence, yes. How many schools are there that can prepare children for a life amidst technology while banning it within their walls?
If government simply nuked OnlyFans and Pornhub, then no, I wouldn't say it is damning to progress. On the other hand, if they started cracking down on VPNs, proxies, mirrors, torrents and all other less-easy ways to access wrongthink/wrongfun, that seems like it would negatively affect flourishing, through sheer friction introduced to the infoscape. Not to mention political resentment. I hear the recent riots in Nepal correlated with a crackdown on social media.

I am not talking about freedoms as a broad social system of things being acceptable or not. I'm talking about parents denying their kids access to smartphones or Internet as one of the measures for upholding lacks of freedoms. In order to assuredly safeguard your kid from porn today, to my knowledge, you have to not buy him a smartphone, not connect his computer to the Internet, keep him away from friends who could provide him with theirs and prevent him from saving up enough of his own money through allowance/summer jobs. I do not believe that's how you raise an above-average innovator today. In the past helicopter parenting was merely stifling; now you'd have to go half-Amish to achieve the same result. And Amishes do not launch rockets.

Speaking of the tweet and its comparison of virtuous white "will do" promise and craven black "will try" promise, it strikes me that the latter is more realistic and honest. No one can actually guarantee to a hundred percent that a course of action will be carried out.

I don't think free access to furry porn is the basis of technology. But will a society that limits their sons' access to the newest technology (and especially if it requires either a blanket ban or the parents' active involvement) reach the heights that are equivalent of going to the moon?
It is, actually. Coincidentally I'm not friends with the kind of queer people who insist on different neopronouns for each of vaeir plural headmates. On the other hand I can accept the minor inconvenience of having grace said over my dinner before I eat at a Christian friend's house.

You assume that I'd keep my memories, but wouldn't them being scrambled as well be expected to go along with seeing chaos?

The fact that you're NOT currently seeing chaos is extremely strong evidence that a Boltzmann-Brain universe does not exist.
But if I were seeing chaos, wouldn't I stop evaluating evidence, thus making the Boltzmann brains where I can read your post the only ones who are convinced that they're not Boltzmann brains? I don't know how to put it in more rigorous terms.

But they also 'knew' that people aren't the kind of stuff that can fly.
"They didn't ACTUALLY transcend nature so it wasn't real vindication of hubris" looks like moving the goalposts to me.
Transhumanist thought, as I see it, lacks the inherent reverence that the religious mindset comes packaged with. (Yes there are Friendly AI worshippers and Roko's Basilisk doomers, but those are not the inherent parts of transhumanist thought.) In the end religion is not about entering Heaven or Hell, it's about using the promises of those states as a tool for society-building. I do not think transhumanism is about society-building first. I think transhumanism is about entering Heaven first (or Hell, according to doomers).

Was it religion when people wanted to fly despite common knowledge at the time being that people can't fly?
It just seems like you're latching on the worldly parts of religions when their defining feature is having esoteric claims about the universe.

Is it religion when people want to enter a state of being unbound by the laws of the universe as we currently know them and/or don't want anything hostile to do it first?
Edit: just noticed your profile is private, reconsidering engaging.
Why were the death camps all on the USSR side?
Admittedly I'm not too well-versed in the history of WW2, so in a way I'm the perfect target for the Holocaust denialist to Euler.
As far as I'm aware, USSR reached Berlin in their last march on Germany. So is everything to the east of Berlin "the USSR side"? If so, there is a very straightforward explanation for why all the death camps were closer to the USSR than the West: you build the death camps next to the conquered people you'll be putting in the camps. You might as well ask "why were all the atrocities allegedly committed by Germany against USSR so conveniently on the USSR side".

I wonder what answer would run the highest probability of ick-induction in a manic pixie programming girl. Excel? SAS? SQL? An actual but boomer-coded programming language like COBOL?
Javascript, perhaps. You expose yourself as either a frontend webdev who codes lame things such as buttons, or someone who uses a frontend webdev language for other tasks. Ew.

According to the Peter principle people in a hierarchy tend to rise to the level of respective incompetence. Since it is apparently so important to have competent sergeants, I'd guess the command would prefer them remain sergeants rather than be promoted to officers.

If the narrative on this event flips one more time I'm calling the Architect and telling him I want a new Matrix.

In my country the cops evidently have enough time to trawl through manga and decide which titles offend family values and which don't. I'm more than glad to give them actual work that benefits me, such as grabbing rabid children off the streets. Sadly, the supply of rabid children is low and even if there were some, it would be too much of a hassle to go through the process of reporting.

Pokrovsky is one of the authors directly endorsed by Ovechkin of the above blog, so I probably should, yes.
On the lower edge of middle. My salary is low for my occupation, and working class who hustle a lot can readily earn more.
