today’s book is the voluminous Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris

 

“stirred up nationalist sentiment among Anglo settlers in Alta California, implying (but not declaring) that he was” ― Malcolm Harris, Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World

Denial Abounds in July 2025, denial of:

 

“Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

October 8, 2013
October 7, 2023 Palestine Terrorism was a decade later
Social media users are too chicken-shit coward without bravery
To repeat Malala every 18 hours since October 8, 2013
You All Social Media had TEN YEARS, DECADE, to Asset Malala.

Show your evidence you stood up for women / girls / child marriage / humanism and repeated Malala in those 10 years.

 

“stirred up nationalist sentiment” ― Malcolm Harris

Yha, Flag Waving people don't wish to listen to Malala Yousafza saying Eastern Western Global Pale Blue Dot issues of education learning for the entire Human Race / Globe.

I live in the United States of America, North America.

"how's your week going, Beehaw"?

My week is going shit, deeper into Hell every day since March 2013.

Here in USA people are so addicted to fiction bullshit, falsehoods, fake garbage, artificial intelligence sludge, Donald Trump entertainment fiction storytelling, it is hell deeper and deeper digging every hour of every day. Social media ate my nation's face.

My week is worse than last week as it has been every day since March 2013 when it all started.

First post on here! Thank you for having me :)

welcome. Hope your week has started off well.

Even after blocking and removing a metric fuck ton of toxic subs I always still feel worse than when I start casually browsing it. Something about confidently incorrect people, trolls, assholes, bots and AI slop get under my skin no matter how much I try to ignore them.

All social media, including Reddit and Bluesky, is racing towards mass dehumanization and promoting anti-humanism as fast as possible. It's out of control in 2025.

“Technopoly is a state of culture. It is also a state of mind. It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, 1992

Terrible, horrific, the society all around me is racing as fast as it can into unreality at the hands of Kremlin information warfare. So many have lost their hearts and minds to 5,000 patterns of anti-truth anti-real anti-goodness. Sickening every hour of every day how people are behaving in my community.

Часть вторая.

В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом? За четыре года и два дня.. необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.

Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема. Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было "оцифровать" все возможные виды современного человека. Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел "Кембриджского университета".

Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - "идеальный образ" возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем.. положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.

Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие. Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой.. поймёт, что это значит. Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и "их сторонники" на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.

People didn’t purge their comments to remove this information from the public, but they purged it from reddit making money off limiting the access to this information.

Reddit was always making money off their content. The tragedy is that the common knowledge is destroyed. They didn't bother to copy it to a public place, they just nuked information and context. The loss is for newcomers on any topics. The result is the same old questions being asked over and over, which all social media sites (including Lemmy thrive on FRESH content).

I think people who single out hate and dehumanization and violence in one spot have tunnel vision. Hate and violence is all bad. Hate is incredibly popular in drawing a crowd, but overall it is better to criticize all hate like Martin Luther King Jr. did. MLKJr would emphasize not just hate from white to blacks in USA, but all hate in the human brain in general. Too many people want to use hate as an organization tool, weaponize gangs of hate over something or another, and I'm sick of all the crossfire. With social media, it's everywhere.

people joined basically with no terms of service on a lot of Lemmy instances.

Free and open information, like Wikipedia, used to be an ideal. I have used Reddit since 2008 or earlier because it got on search engines and shared information consistently on precise topics. Twitter used to also be this way, but now mostly only puts paid subscribers on search engines.

If you are to organize information around topics, such as a Commodore 64 community, and the protocol openly allows copies to be made via federation, I encourage people to have the attitude that information be treated like Wikipedia content. It sucks now that so much information from 10 years ago has been just entirely lost now that so many deliberately purged their Reddit comments, etc. Tragedy of the commons. And it drags down the entire planet that people squirrel away discussions on topics that are generally public. It's like now everyone wants to monetize even their discussions on Commodore 64 or automotive repair / have behind absolute control or paywalls /etc.

While I agree with what you are saying, I think audiences crave the falsehoods strongly, regardless of how the sausage is made. And I know that the technology itself may be regulated for normal consumers, while 'professionals' will use their wealth to get another set of technology that does it better. Much like in the USA prostitution is generally illegal, but filing sex for pornography media is legal. There really are not very many preaching to level the playing fields on media production hardware. And if you look at the energy requirements and cost of a high-end GPU just as run-time, you can start to get the sense of how a $15,000 camera is going to be able to do post-production that a consumer smartphone won't have.

I don't enjoy art that divides people with hate. The Bible as art, the Quran as art, the Torah as art - where clergy preaches that "only our book is correct, all other books are false". I find no pleasure in hate, I find no pleasure in war and killing.

I leave the life
I left behind
There's truth that lives
And truth that dies
I don't know which
Never mind
يا سلام على السلام يا سلام
يا سلام يا سلام، يا سلام يا سلام
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried, I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them whom
You despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well, I'm not surprised
You're of their kin
You're of their kind
