psychopaths

Toward the people who insist, no matter the cost, that empathy toward humans being actively genocided is extremely important.

The thing about comments like yours is that in your self-righteous rage you just reveal how little you understand fucking anything.

Psychopaths. Of all words to describe who you think you’re mad at. You don’t know what the word means, and you don’t know who you’re yelling it at.

You’re so fucking clueless. But big mad tho! 😡

Yes.

They were pretty clearly juuust fine with JordanLund’s moderation over on .world, that whole place stinks (and did long before he went off the deep end that one time).

Same exact flavor of deceit you see all over the place, hiding behind pretend ideals of keeping discussion “civil”, but really just going well out of their way to control discussion around Zionism.

Wtf lol, that just seems so…low tech? I certainly can’t think of a “better” way to do it, guess I imagined some fully enclosed (or maybe that’s what you’re describing).

It’s like finding out almost all power generation is really just different ways of boiling water lol

Ahhh nice! Familiar with that via aliasing below Nyquist frequency, different words for the same idea.

Would that be like on a tripod in the audience area recording the screen? Seems lossy somehow so I figure I’m misunderstanding. I’m pretty ignorant (~fully ignorant lol) about this, apologies, ya just piqued my curiosity.

[Edit: eh, my comment was frankly unnecessary]

Very difficult question.

For the record, I am extremely hostile to government privacy violations in the name of “protecting children”, which the approach under discussion clearly is. We all agree about that.

I don’t have great solutions, but none of mine revolve around shaming parents or insisting they become magically aware of information they lack (and may be flat out unable to really comprehend). That’s not to say you were doing that.

Community wise we can do a lot more educating about the harms. Legislatively and technologically, zero trust indications allowing specific categories of content - very coarse categories and simple binary “allowed / not allowed” - nothing to do with age or PII - would be approaches worth considering.

But fundamentally doing these things wrong is at least as harmful as leaving parents to solo the task. I’d prefer it be up to the ill-equipped and wildly varying parents than to anything centralized unless the centralized approach has verifiable transparency and all the right goals and approaches (a pipe dream). But if nothing else we should require our education and government systems to take a clear stance about educating re: harms.

How many adults can say they understand what devices they put in their own hands? Practically none.

I’m merely pointing out the huge difficulty here, these things are engineered to manipulate us. It’s not as simple as “well, parents should simply know what to do”.

Your read was uncharitable cuz the comment you replied to directly said they “in no way support this”, and was written from the very first premise as being ABOUT parents who DO NOT or CAN NOT understand the danger you go on to strawman and bitch about.

Again - your reading was uncharitable, it did not try to take the commenters actual point of view, it simply ranted about what you felt like talking about, that they never said.

This commenter is pointing out that - definitionally - most parents lack what they need to mount an effective defense or even understand one is needed, because of how the deck is stacked. It isn’t random uninvolved people making the tech addictive and harmful, (contrasting with parents as a group) - it’s roughly the people best on the planet at making those things damaging, who are doing so.

Commenter is not inviting government overreach, but lamenting that every parent is being asked to defend against this most pernicious force, and it’s unrealistic to expect them to succeed. As we clearly see, they don’t succeed, they lose! State of mental development for kids in the US for example is in absolute shambles.

Doesn’t seem very controversial at all, kind of just an obvious observation tbh.

Are you seriously advocating that parental responsibility shouldn’t be a thing?

Very clearly not advocating that, what an uncharitable read.

No shit? Like historically or up through the modern era or newly so or what?

There’s of course ALSO legalized gambling on trivial up through disturbingly poignant world events of all kinds, via Kalshi and Polymarket, both of which have the same member of the crime family on their board of advisors (read: Ouji-boarding the biggest bets for very good fukfuk). Shaping world events, or just shaking out the dumbest of the dumb dickheads playing? squints

There’s of course ALSO publicly stated, State-legitimized-at-root money-laundering, directly consequential bribery, and various other shades of mutual-criming available to anyone with the bucks, via crime family cryptocurrency (-currencies). Shaping world events [we can’t even begin to fathom let alone scrutinize], or just shaking out the dumbest of the dumb dickheads playing? squints-ier

There’s of course ALSO…

[apologies, I’m now in fact dead 🤷‍♂️]

Ah, see, no…can’t be that bad - I can fix her/it!

[Edit: 💀]

And then get bailouts on top of it.

They won during the inflation of the bubble, they win by getting the inside view and some limited control on the bubble bursting (thus, privileged opportunities to react and profit from the burst at minimum), THEN their very important companies get bailed out and escape the well-earned consequences.

It’s win-win-win, and everyone but them pays the price, pretty much no matter what (with minor exceptions, maybe, if shit goes truly off the rails - from their perspective, by my measure, we’re already there of course).

Father of Ghislaine Maxwell, yes the Epstein one, had quite a lot to do with it, which sure bears mentioning!

Fuck “The Guardian” (no shade to you, commenter), Behind The Bastards did a competent 4-piece or something (for those who enjoy such a format) on the guy, and to a degree, the topic. Interesting - mostly, but oddly not all - bad stuff.

Just what I like to see, a fucking rapist saying things I agree with. Cool meme thanks

[Edit: Hey neat, we get Michael fucking Jordan AND Nike along for the ride, too, all looking like - weird - perfect fucking marketing! For real, get rid of this trash forever, what the fuck already]

> Looks inside

> Becomes putrescent

Same. But prolly not the same ones 😅 my brain instantly says “pregnancy test”

One heartening fact is that even with all this, people are increasingly angry and dissatisfied with the thick layers of constant bullshit.

We haven’t lost. It takes all this to accomplish what they’re aiming, and it’s not a given they pull it off. Not all of us welcome comforting lies over devastating truths.

Make it hard for them, recruit people away, back to reality by offering real info and sources. And otherwise watch the gross simulacra of society thrash about from as much distance as can be managed.
