Despite all my rage I'm still a rat refreshing this page.

I'll stop calling liberals fash enablers when they ally with commies against fash like at all.

no?

That... isn't really how anything works.

Big if true but a screenshot of a tweet isn't really evidence.

If someone told me the hammer was safe and I hit something with it, the temper was bad, it shattered and cut me, and it was established to be deliberate deception beyond even negligence I'd want my pound of flesh yeah

How would you feel if you bought pharmaceuticals that promised to heal you and they made you sick? What about a ride at a theme park with no warning signs that failed and hurt you?

The whole marketing thing of these garbage devices is based around abusing trust. There are no warnings that you need to be an expert, in fact they claim the opposite.

The person is a rube, but only evil people abuse the trust of others and only evil people blame people for having their trust abused. Being able to trust people is good actually, and we should viciously beat to death everyone that violates social trust.

So actually looked into the social credit system a while ago and it turns out a lot of it is myth and it seems to have been largely wound down after some abuse by some of the ?prefectures? where it was trialed and used to punish a few people (it was supposed to reward good behaviour by businesses and institutions apparently) but what remains did strike me as very similar to credit score, although it's maybe slightly more accountable? Maybe?

Anyway both seem dogshit, although a system verifying how organisations actually act (e.g. counter greenwashing and shit with hard evidence) would be cool if anyone could make it work.

On lemmy? It's harry potter or mein kampff I'm afraid.

I knew of anarchism because of cool anarchists that helped me when I was povo.

However I got quite interested in anthropology and after reading a few seminal texts gradually realised how much "human nature" is just cultural and the enormous variety of ways of existing. It also dawned on me how enforced central order tends to crush self regulating (although often not particularly kind or gentle) mechanisms on human societies, resulting in some of the more problematic aspects of society people point to as evidence why anarchy is impractical.

Then I read the bread book

Another day on lemmy another sectarian struggle session relitigating history people have at most listened to a podcast on.

Hell yeah.

Twitter in 2016: 3.25e6 monthly active users

Lemmy.world: 1.45e4 monthly users, many of which appear to be reposting bots or duplicates.

Twitter in 2016 had politicians and companies and shit on it, lemmy has the sort of dregs that think what linux distro you use matters.

I 100% believe you

I like lemmy, it's fun when people aren't acting like they're in some political struggle.

I just think it's delusional to think you're doing any meaningful praxis here. Especially since half the active posters seem so averse to hanging out with average workers.

Keep telling yourself that.

If you want to change the world you have to go and actually hang out with the unwashed masses

You are such a dork

Lemmy. Does not. matter.

LW has like 3k regular real users max. Nothing here matters.

You know people can refuse right? the state doesn't torture their families or anything.

Tbh I don't feel comfortable speculating on what state stupidity operations are. My exposure to some as an info sec enthusiast suggests they're extremely varied and often quite stupid. Following the same logic as scams a lot of the time: go wide and see who bites.

But to get back to the point: there's this growing trend of liberals (little ell) blaming everything they don't like about politics on Russian/Chinese psyops which credits state stupidity too much and disguises the underlying issues in our society.

Further xenophobic paranoia and militarism is... unlikely, shall we say, to address or protect against the political movements that fester in such environments.

There's so many. I was there 2000 years ago when we just hung out on IRCs and xmpp.

If you actually dig into the studies a lot of the excessive socmed time of kids is chatting. what we used to do with MSN and shite.

Kids will find a way to hang out and share stuff. Probably better that it happens in the light.

I am reminded of older attitudes towards sex and teens. Preventing kids from being open about their sexual activities didn't make it safe, it meant that people fucked in filthy places and didn't have a proper education, or made friends with someone seedy as to get porn.

We should provide safe(\r) alternatives, not ban things and then pretend that bored teenagers aren't some of the most creative people on the planet.
