Makes sense, Russia is running out of cannon fodder in its ploy to try and steal a country, bring in some “big fat dumb westerners “

I’m debating whether or not to even engage with you here given that you just gaslit a stranger because you’re upset about what the ruling class isn’t doing for you (presumably) - are you assuming maliciousness where ignorance might’ve sufficed?

You tell me. If you knew that you had all these great ideas and support for people but knew if you didn’t complete this first step, someone else’d be elected and do the opposite of those things, would you willingly lose and put those people you support at risk??

Do you really and truly think that progressives/liberals don’t care about trans rights? After all the bickering these rich assholes do on every damn channel on TV?

Give me a break.

You are valid in being frustrated You are allowed to have feelings and emotions about your treatment/mistreatment

But none of that makes it okay for you to take it out on your neighbors during a discussion which was trying to emphasize that politics are about strategy, not only morals.

This country operates via a leader person who’s voted for by majority count. In other words, that’s one person who needs to cater to 345 MILLION people.

Sometimes that means keeping your mouth shut on a particular issue temporarily to secure the win. When you’ve won, then you can start acting on those things you held off on emphasizing.

The alternative is that the other rich asshole not only comes in and withholds support, but also comes in and takes active measures to make it worse for these groups.

If it’s between regression and stagnation, I’m not happy with either. I will still take stagnation however because walking something back after it’s been walked back will only be harder.

When I go to pride festivals/parades I’m there to show my support. That’s active support.

Just because I don’t bring up LGBTQ+ rights and arguments at work doesn’t mean I don’t support them. Sometimes, by giving new dem voters some time to acclimate to the waters, you can give them the food later and they’ll be more likely to eat then, rather than when they’re first getting in the pool.

As much as some would like it to be true, you can’t just cram “new” morals down people’s throats and expect miraculous results. You can’t just tell people they’re a POS for not believing in what you believe in and expect them to be like “yo! I am an ignorant, holier-than-thou asshole… you’re right!” There is grace (growing thinner by the election cycle) and strategy in politics. Not everything is as shallow or malicious as people want them to be.

God damn right. They want to outsource jobs AND cause people harm due to their ignorance?? (lead pipes, lead paint, asbestos, need I say more)

Fuck that.

I just stated that I wasn’t interested in anything specifically, don’t have any one solution in mind. Not that it’s bad per se.

Beautiful article thanks for sharing.

This highlights the problem that inherently exists in nature: feedback loops.

Repeated exposure to similar information or signals amplifies/entrenches existing patterns and can lead to distortion, narrowing frequencies, and reduced adaptability.

Its why these people turn into racists, sexists, abusers, etc. they get what they want all the time simply because they have money and power and know how to game systems. So they learn on those narrow pathways that they get what they want when they want.

They learn a reality that doesn’t exist for the greater whole because they themselves are not living as the greater whole does. None of this is rocket science.

I have to conclude that Extreme wealth threatens the stability of our society. Not arguing for communism or anything else. Every path has its hazards and shortcuts. Just pointing out problems and opening the floor to discussion of the problem and potential solutions

Is this satire or

This is literally no other day.

This is what happens as we discover dangerous technologies, there is an arms face and mutual destruction is assured and walked back over time.

Game theory.

Lmaooo, wanna know which snake whispered this idea into his head so I can watch them closer

You’ve discovered an artifact!! Yaaaay

If you ask GPT to do this in a more math questiony way, itll break it down and do it correctly. Just gotta narrow top_p and temperature down a bit

Literally just pandering to the party split, all it means. Trump couldn’t care less who is in as long as they back him and aren’t a nobody

This is legit art 10/10

I’m not convinced you can. The NSA had the whistle blown on their little fingerprint gloves they would wear, highly doubt in todays age you could know definitively who is doing what

All these comments about adblockers - you’re truly naive if you think those are going to last in any capacity.

Chrome/Edge are already going to be neutering the majority of the functionality with manifest v3.

Firefox is already starting to see some commercialization/enshitification with this new exec. Adblocker days are numbered. Soon they’ll be streaming the ads in-line with the videos everywhere and you’ll need to have a special hacked up rig just to content filter and be forced to sit in silence for X minutes.

Just because the problem is at your neighbors house, doesn’t mean it won’t come to yours.

Again, I can agree with the sentiment that it seems like most won’t change, but to give up altogether is to give up on those that would’ve changed too. In favor of what? Watching more tv? Playing more games? It costs next to nothing to be vocal and educated when using social media.

We don’t need to convince everyone of the truth and of reality and tolerance. Just one person is enough for me.

“It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness”

We have a moral imperative to enlighten those who are ignorant in direct alignment with humanities shared pursuit of truth and of happiness. We owe it to the people who inspired us to continue that tradition. In fact, we only are improving our own understanding of Truth by teaching and speaking with others and challenging those ideas. Maybe someone else will inspire us to tweak something and move our collective progress closer to enlightenment

Can we impeach the justices that will hinder progress with this administration?

Plus you know, people in charge of the FUCKING judicial system shouldn’t have ties to war criminals where possible (considering we most definitely are war criminals, I’m not ignorant to that)

I guarantee if you educate their children in schools ahead of time, teenage rebellion will encourage more states to become (over time, as older generations fade) more pro-choice

Guaran-fucking-tee it. Yes that involves legislature and voting, but yes it does mean you can sway parents via education of at least their family and/or friends.

That is the most nihilistic and ignorant statement I’ve ever heard in my life tbh

You’re generalizing hundreds of thousands of people and essentially saying “my vote doesn’t matter”

I’m saying this not to be a dick, but because I care about my species - you sound like you’re in a very negative headspace and I’m not sure that’s going to be very valuable for you for much longer. You’re generalizing hundreds of thousands of people to one stereotype and assuming that any and all labor towards educating or advocating isn’t worth it.

Fuck that. Defeatist bullshit is for the defeated, and last I checked, battle is still going. I sincerely hope you are only affected by and not perpetuating defeatist logic into the global population.

Not even a little bit what I meant, and you’re drawing false dichotomies

I’ve said repeatedly in my comments in reply to this post that I don’t think it’s equal.

Explicitly stated. I’ll take the optimist approach and assume you couldn’t be bothered to actually try and understand what I meant.

I was just expressing that I believe shallow politicians can exist on both sides, and do to some extent. Not drawing any specific statistics. To be clear, that means I’m also not saying both sides exhibit this characterization at an equal rate of occurrence, just that it is and has been happening on both sides.

Politicians, like it or not and regardless of party lines, sometimes are just in it for the power and the glory.

Again, this doesn’t happen at an equal rate on both sides, and I’m sure it does happen at a disproportionate rate, but it’s an overall problem that comes with positions of power and authority that I think should be tackled outside of party-specific focus. You could argue burning houses as rationale to target, but if there’s fires in both houses and you’re able to, you should take both out or the other will be just as bad at some point.
