because murdering truth is not good for science. fascism is not good for science funding. researchers use search engines all the time. academia is struggling with a LLM fraud problem.

like I said; I have watched the body of someone I loved disintegrate with their brain still at least partially functional in one of the most horrible ways a person can die. I think a lot of being precious about this shit comes from not having actually been exposed to it, and relying on your imagination.

like, PTSD from actual experiences is real, but outside of burned-in combat PTSD where your survival instincts and/or training are looped in, it’s never as simple as you would think.

also in the dark. it is genuinely good advice even if they give it abusively to dismiss real issues.

Stop being the victim! (or I will disown you. again.)

the conflation of ‘normal’ with ‘okay’ is sickening to me. unfortunately, this is normal now.

and that should set off fucking air raid sirens in every single person’s head.

yeah, I can’t say ‘libertarian communist’ or people will be like ‘do you mean ephebophile communist? how does that even work?’.

they have to steal our names for shit, because they always do horrible shit under their own.

laws will never protect the people who need it. every community should be on the lookout for this shit. everything should turn against you when you do a fascism. if you want to spread fear of everything as an excuse to murder the weak to make you feel good, there should be no inch of the world where you are safe.

like, a lot of the nazi shit here in the united states WAS against the law. that didn’t help. just a bunch of wrist slaps.

yeah but what if it makes me uncomfortable, so I would rather look away and let it happen again, and you’re a big dumb meanie-pants for putting evidence of the consequences of my actions where I can see them? what then, huh?

hey, yeah, so, my people were also slaughtered by the nazis. some of the first, actually. and again by reaganites. I have watched loved ones die slowly and horribly with my own eyes in non-nazi-related deaths. like actually seen smelled touched it, not just heard stories from grandma.

and I would rather see this shit if it reminds people the stakes of current politics. also, that’s a nazi in the pic, it just happens it also got kiled because of nazi shit.

but also, and im not a mod of anything and this would probably get you banned a lot of places:

nazi shit needs to be shown for what it is. no more looking away. a century of looking away and pretending it couldn’t happen here, that it wasn’t happening here, that it was just about ‘ethics in games journalism’ or whatever bullshit is what got us here. show that shit.

if we keep looking away, we will keep letting it happen. I would rather see a few old photos of gore a bunch of times than have to smell them, or risk being them, every time I go outside. a state of affairs which we are perilously fucking close to.

edit: so please; post more gore. you might just be saving lives!

never cry over spilled nazi.

christianity, since the roman empire adopted it at the very least, has been mostly a tool of appropriating warm fuzzy feelings and directing them towards a king.

capitalism was always been into lack of competition. it’s not about markets, that’s a more modern bullshit invention. it’s about valuing ownership over labor. caring about the nobility rather than the peasants’ labor, but with more contrivance.

mood on the free speech.

yeah! I don’t deserve better, but the people whose fault this is deserve much worse.

years, dear. it’s years.

also, all the search functions are deliberately broken so they can feed you algo slop instead of letting you find the product you want.

well, a large language model.

if they’re standing in a line, they’re not raping murdering kidnapping or stealing anyone/anything. I’m fully in support of them doing this.

hey! they would also protect rich secular fascists and poor nazis. give them the credit they deserve.

if he’d stuck to calling them weird and attacking them, maybe it wouldn’t have been useless. but they dropped that, tried to buddy up with the fascists, and brought on insane endorsements like fucking liz cheney.

if they’d run sanders/walz, even late after biden convinced even party leadership that he couldn’t win, they would have crushed that shit with historic numbers.

if they had let a palestinian talk, or given the most mild ‘please tone down the genocide shit’ they might’ve had a chance.

it was like they were trying to lose at every step. truly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

realize protecting a POS is not really worth the resources

who wants to tell them?
