Have to have severe penalties. It’s the only thing some people understand

I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.

I got another talking to about making people feel bad.

Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.

Headlines starting with like “Trump explodes” give a hope that is immediately dashed upon finishing the sentence

Many people struggle with admitting they’re wrong, or their world view is flawed.

“While the Mayor’s plan has a number of positive elements, including some increased security funding for Jewish institutions and expanding proven programs, it fails to address a central issue that the mayor himself has perpetuated: rhetoric that demonizes and delegitimizes Israel inevitably leads to the targeting of Jewish New Yorkers,” the United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York, Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, American Jewish Committee and New York Board of Rabbis said in a joint statement on X.

But israel is bad and is not the whole of jewish identity. Fuck off.

Everything is projection. They have poor empathy, so when they try to imagine other people they just imagine themselves.

Time to link Ur-Fascism again: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.

How do people actually fall for this shit? How?!

Many people “Reason” emotionally. The words don’t matter so much as the feelings.

Yeah, fine. The preferences in order are

• they’re held accountable for what they’ve done in an open and public way
• they’re removed from power in some other way
• nothing happens to them

If I can’t get the first one, I’m not going to be too sad if Musk gets black bagged. It’s not ideal, but at least he can’t do any more harm.

I’m not that smart either, but if somehow I was in a position if executive power a lot of people would be criminally charged. Maybe even fucking disappeared.

I don’t really care that much about decorum. I want to break the spine of the rich. Put the billionaires in some fucking cells.

I vaguely remember some quote from someone, probably a high ranking Republican, saying something like they can’t let us have nationalized health care because it’s too popular, and they’d never be able to shut it down.

Retire. Don’t like my job. Tech is circling the drain.

Other people posted some details but essentially if you’re not an idiot you can park that in safe investments and live a happy life.

I get so frustrated when I read about people who like win a few million, blow it on like stupid cars and houses, and end up poor again. Just don’t do that.

My understanding is a lot of the rich assholes with the power to do something about this view these deaths as desirable.

Natural consequence of capitalism.

Capitalism is fundamentally unjust. Someone who doesn’t even work keeps the profits generated by the people who do. Fuck that.

Capitalism doesn’t mean “people trade money for goods and services”

I would make cautious alliance with someone if that was their principle.

The Republicans cause more abortions because they don’t do anything to fix the problem sooner. No sex Ed. No contraception. Nothing to allow labor to have stable home lives with financial security. Voting Republican to minimize abortion is counter productive.

Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

We’re a stupid country rules by assholes and morons.

You just know if someone tried to make a serious push for it, all the fox news types would go into a frenzy. It’d be an easy way to whip up their idiot base.

These so called conservatives really have the worst stance on like every issue.
