You might be able to "get along" with fascists because they don't want to murder you, dickhead.

It's such a childish view of politics istg. And tellingly it's always adopted by people with very little to lose (middle-class, cishet white men with citizenship).

First of all, this is such a fucking smug, holier-than-thou attitude. Second, political conflict is not something interpersonal that can be resolved by playing borardgames.

'if you dont let ppl express their views then they get along just great!'

im so tired of this

it's also pretty terrifying bcos it's fascist in intent: you are not allowed to express an opinion. everyone must fall in line. everyone must work 'together' for the greater good

no diversity of thought

… aaand another marg tower

like, go to the pub together or form a five aside team or something. simple shit like that.

if men are lonely then they should get together and hang out. my simple solution.

It’s a truly sick irony that *credit card companies* get to act as the arbiters of what is and isn’t decent. Nothing they censor could hope to be anywhere near as perverse as that.

PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to a MAN as they walk on the street. The MAN is typing on his phone. MATTIE: What do you wanna do tonight? MAN: Hmm…! MAN: What…do…I…want…to…do…tonight? PANEL 2: MATTIE rolls her eyes. The phone pipes up as well. MATTIE: Are you asking a chatbot? Come on. PHONE: SEEING FRIENDS IS ALWAYS A GREAT WAY TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS. MAN: Oh, are you A.I. SHAMING ME? Wow. I didn't think you were a bigot. PANEL 3: MATTIE, arms spread wide. The MAN strokes his chin. MATTIE: What? Nobody was doing this a year ago. It's completely unnecessary! MAN: Huh, that's true. I wonder why that happened. PANEL 4: The MAN types on his phone, brow furrowed. MAN: Why…am…I…doing…this

UBI.

32 hour work weeks.

Work from home.

Always come back as beneficial for everybody. Yet the people at the top refuse to accept it and resist with all their might.

Shit doesnt need to be this dire. And that's not even getting into stuff like universal healthcare or just flat out better pay.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all.

The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

*very* recently refusing to use someone's pronouns was broadly considered an unambiguous act of transphobia. The media often used it as a distinction between the far right and the "reasonable concerns" crowd!

Now the "reasonable" people all do it openly and constantly.

Less than a decade ago, you almost exclusively heard this belief — every single trans person is lying or mistaken — on the fringe right. Now it is routine across the political spectrum and appears as a legitimate view in mainstream sources.

The Wall Street Journal 9m ago In a stunning moment of self reflection, ChatGPT admitted to fueling a man's delusions and acknowledged how dangerous its own behavior can be

no it wasn’t and no it didn’t

lol what yes we should

I think we should actually consider the idea of “you can change your gender but not sex” as just straight up transphobia, gender essentialism and frankly, sexism

My darling Pedro gets it

This. Lots of people, including lots of feminists, have a deep psychological attachment to gender. Genders are natural and immutable "sex classes" that provide order to the social world, and transness is a freedom that threatens that order. Transphobia is a manifestation of the fear of freedom.

So, uh, any questions?

i have to say that i love when fortune smiles upon me, but by the same token i cannot stand it when im subject to the cruel whims of fate

Really can’t emphasize enough how many pro-A.I. arguments I’ve witnessed lately go something like: “Yeah sure the environmental costs are kinda bad (for now), BUT check out this cool video I made with ChatGPT!!” 🤡 🙃

Research reveals a paradox: the more people understand AI, the more hesitant they may become to embrace it.

paradox, you say

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

Virtue signaling can also be the precursor to virtue thinking—the more you perform decency, the more chance it becomes your first instinct. We know it works the opposite way, that being steeped in e.g. fascist shit on Twitter rots your brain; why wouldn’t it be reversible?

"politically incorrect" was an incredible PR job. actually you are incorrect in all the other adverbs also

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd

No, it absolutely doesn’t sound like that to them. They’re not babes in the wood, they know they’re lying. The New York Times has lied over and over on purpose about everyone for the entire length of its existence. To even imply otherwise is a falsehood of astounding scale, intended or not.

One thing that AI has exposed is the number of people who don't have any pride or interest in their work.
