  • Tragic?

    Try "predictable"

    Please watch the Netflix documentary if you havent.

    The sub was never meant for that depth and they knew it.

    They could literally hear the carbon fibers snapping every dive.

    They had to retire an entire chassis because it failed at similar depths.

    Nahh, the tragedy is rich people think they are better than physics itself.

  • Denver I think

  • Thats a really scary thought. I hope you dont really believe that about me. Can I do something for you that might help you feel better about the situation?

  • My biggest concern right now is on the micro level. Propaganda foot solders are like putty men in power rangers. We shouldn't struggle this hard.

  • Im sorry bro. I have no idea what youre on about but I assume youre right. Want me to give you a quick tug? O.o?

  • Im not saying give them a handy. Im saying look past the argument and go straight for remediation. Concede the argument immediately, and the moment you attempt to soothe them they will hesitate.

  • I find it hard to believe that their is a technology humans cant break. If its simply AI thats behind it all I have faith there is someone who can figure out how to short circuit it.

    Hell, if its simply an army of bots swarming every human input just overwhelm them with inputs. Make it extremely difficult for the bots to not turn on themselves unless they are marked with a unique identifier. Then they identify themselves.

  • Thats true, too. Education is the only way.

    Edit: here's a thought, though. Just treat everyone that way because its a decent way to treat people.

  • I've tried that so many times.

  • I say, love the propagandist. Not their propaganda. Love them as a person. Understand their ideology comes from a place of hurt. Make them want what you have. A settled mind and a clean soul. Im not saying you can change them but I'll listen to the person who can defuse a shouting match over the people shouting, every time.

    The goal wouldn't be to swoon the propagandist to your side. It would be to take away their power. That power comes from people listening. If you can expose them to be consumed by only their own opinion you take that power away.

    Also, disengage. We are scared, terrified, of words. They provoke us, and we give them power. Stand tall on your own morals and let the waves crash on your shores. Dont get swept to sea every time a storm is raging.

    You can laugh now.

  • Youll just laugh it off.

  • I liked it but my criticism is it is binary. Like in a shouting match the only way to win is to shout louder.

  • Can I respond with out you taking it as an affront?

  • There's a difference between protesting every day and being willing to sacrifice. If you think you can effect change through passionless inaction Id ask for you to show me. Show me one good example.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    How do you beat the propagandists?

  • It has to be, right? If they felt they could truly effect change, looking at this world, they would be out there day in and out.

  • So far what I've been told is, "I really like my job" and "some people arent fit to do more."

  • Its your interpretation that I am saying "protest dont work." Again, as if you feel some doubt in their effectiveness and are in denial. The point of my post was to comment on the protesters resolve.

  • Thank god. I love forest fires.

  • Why does it have to be Im shitting on them? Why can you just take a truth for what it is?

    Just overly sensitive as if you understand the implication but are still in denial.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Why should I care about some document a bunch of old pasty geezers signed, and called the bill of rights, hundreds of years ago? I didnt get a say in it why should they?

    People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off.

    If you feel the US has been kind to you, youre probably in the category of people who got us into this mess. I dont think its wrong to embrace the chaos.

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Whats the deal with tesla theorizing we can transmit electricity through the air? Are we too dumb to figure it out or is it an exaggeration?

    Political Memes @lemmy.world

    Its not a matter of when the fascists will take off their masks. Its a matter of when you will open your eyes.

    Seeing lemmy all over Google search results gives me hope

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is Freddy Kruger merciful because he kills you in your sleep or because its a nightmare does that make it bad?

    In order for Superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day.

    After 10 years of every social media platform becoming just another political propaganda machine Im totally bored of it.

    I've been alive for the entire narrative of the internet and it's crazy to think any of the newer generations will be able to sort it all out for themselves.

    I wish there were a group of people that protected the world from devastation. That would unite all people within my nation. Then we could denounce the evils associated with "truth" and "love."
