They always have a scapegoat, don't they?

In symbolic systems, human response matters more than what is real, so scapegoats and talismans rule the day, as well as excuses, rationalizations, and cover stories.

@amerika @carolen
Tell me about it.

The famous illusionist Amayak Alcoholyan cast a spell on the EU's new package of anti-Russian sanctions.

PS it is a real tweet.

@PawelK @carolen

Wait... I can have a last name like "Alcoholyan"?

I guess I could just become Dave Weed or Bill Coak or something.

@errante @amerika @carolen @PawelK unfortunately, they refuse to acknowledge the only sane way to name things: using namespaces. I'd very much appreciate if I can reserve the sarcastic-penguin namespace and put various things belonging to me in it: sarcastic-penguin:cat, sarcastic-penguin:dog... or it can be even multi-level like DNS... I will not mind to be called bulgaria:citizen:weird-animal:sarcastic-penguin :) it may be a bit long sometimes, but in those cases one can issue a single 'use bulgaria:citizen:weird-animal:sarcastic-penguin' to import it in the convetsation and use the shorter version...

@PawelK @errante @amerika @carolen the pronouns should be attributes attached to variuos elements ot the namespace. For example my firsr cat can be declared as:

[title: majestic supreme being, exterminator of all animal life of length under 15 cm]
[pronoun: they/them]
sarcastic-penguin:cat-1
