Still blows my mind how many people watch bladerunner and see deckard as a hero figure, and even worse view the replicants as villains.

I hope it's just the protagonist effect

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

You say Charlie Kirk implied that stoning gay people is just, but I'm gay and he never tried to stone me.

God bless the Chinese labs

no lies detected

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

It's what a normie who doesn't know anti-fascists or groypers would think they would say, in a "hello fellow kids" kinda way.

Irony poisoned shit posts are hard to explain to people who haven't been exposed. The anti-fascist reference is actually a pro-fascist joke.

Far from proof of course, but it's far from what a lefty would normally meme.

Yeah it wouldn't shock me, but I would hope the eventually success of AT and federation is overdetermined, not fragile.

It's a flaw in the whole concept if some idiots brigading can stop it.

Wait so the AT protocol won't be picked up because a pretty tame case of brigading happened to one of the guys that scraped the feed ages ago?

I don't think the twitter guys are needed. Sad if it is true though.

The mental gymnastics are something to behold. Anything but to actually engage with the accounts or journalism. Still no answer for what would be proof.

Keep dismissing it all as lies

1. Substack. You clearly didn't read it as has been pointed out.

2. Do you see how stupid you sound? I referenced direct accounts of detainees, and you tried to dismiss the concept of 'direct accounts' as proof in the abstract. Just adamant refusal to actually look into anything.

I haven't followed federation stuff recently, why is it never going to happen?

You literally just dismissed a source without reading it. It's you doing lazy headline politics.

If witnesses, journalists and direct accounts aren't proof for you, what is? Are you expecting a curated dataset already, or ICE themselves to admit it?

I meant across your recent posts people give examples and suddenly you stop, not just here. You lazily reject every source that challenges your assumption, when one search would bring up plenty of examples.

It's personification of incurious, lazy, vibe-based politics.

I like how you repeatedly ask for examples, get given them, then go silent. All you can ask is 'do you really think?' or 'you're insane', because you've never actually looked into any of this before and have no interest in absorbing any of it.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

People on 4chan and other places/chans tried it to create girlfriends. It spilled over from the paranormal board who would have got it from standard tibetan occult stuff.

The chans spawned/popularized a lot of rationalists so there's a good chance it spread from there.

Agreed, although there's been a lot of political violence this year. Politicians are dead for it.

This death's main significance is how much it will upset powerful people. They will then inflict even more violence and death than they already have as revenge.

They are only bad if they are inescapable or invisible. Otherwise they are commonly known as 'communities' and most people have a great time in them.

Urgh this is horrible. It's so common that either your spouse or your employer gets abusive levels of control over you in that situation, and it's gotten so much worse.

oh my god this is just crazy folks

Going to go ahead and 'No' this one. Conversations are not like improv, or at least most shouldn't be. Polite ones and small talk sure.

You will get plenty of people who only respond if they disagree with something. They are normal and okay, just like the polite people who love agreeing and adding.

People in the replies are doing some serious gymnastics to avoid admitting that they don't care if the Romani also die.

They are the person in a crisis who just shuts down and does nothing, i.e. the online left post-Obama.

The AI utopia is no more creators, only consumers. Positioning your company as a creator is not going to do well for long.

This has the same fundamental problem all AI content companies have. If I wanted AI content, why would I consume someone else's when I can make my own? The barrier to entry is low & getting lower.

you can't even congratulate your friend on being a child predator anymore because of wolk

did you know gmail now has a subscriptions page where it lists all your subscriptions and you can unsubscribe from them????
