- one of the least intuitive things about US politics, which Dems constantly get wrong, is that voters favor bold action even when it fails. compromises that create half-assed policies may seem to Dems like "success," but to voters (of both parties!) they just look like weakness and capitulation
- especially considering you can use AI to *make* revenge porn (and people are known to do this)
- if Pritzker or anyone else wants people to believe they are serious about combating Trump, they are going to have to do things like arrest Trump officials, arrest ICE agents, etc. going on TV and saying you don't like it isn't really doing anything

- there are people who just casually hold the belief that if someone is "here illegally" it's justified to rough them up, slam them to the ground, humiliate them in front their friends and family, hold them in conditions unfit even for animals, and ship them to god-knows-where far too many
- one of the most fascist impulses among Americans is that if someone is committing a crime--ANY crime--it doesn't matter what you to do them, you can even kill them of course this does not apply to white people, especially right-wing white people, who can apparently do no wrong

- Reposted by large mozzI think indulging in cruelty is harmful to the self and does not harm a target that has no capacity to feel
- a black cat hung out on my front porch for a while this morning and batted at the Halloween decorations. kinda on-the-nose for October

- i need to learn how to use fewer words
- i didn't want to step into this discourse but here we are LLMs aren't alive and don't have feelings, obviously. being cruel to them is not harmful to the LLM. but it's not healthy to indulge in cruelty. being cruel to an LLM is motivated by liking the *idea* of it having feelings to hurt.
- "people can distinguish between fantasy and reality" can, but often don't. when cops use shooting targets with George Floyd's face on them, are they just shooting a target, or are they imagining how much they'd enjoy killing a Black man for real? brains are not hard to program this way
- "this is like arguments about video game violence" that depends. most people playing games where you kill enemies are not focusing on the pleasure of killing enemies, imagining them to be people. they're a means to an end, a challenge to overcome. you aren't seeing them as people to hurt, probably

- Reposted by large mozzAlmost all discourse distills down to using real people as material to create straw people in the image of the opponent you wish you had.
- Reposted by large mozzso how many websites is it going to take for people to realize you actually need social principles to run social media, and not just technical ones
- new thread because i want to make this point on its own you will see increased reporting of intensifying, worsening violence, until you suddenly stop seeing that which will mean it's happening everywhere, all the time, and will no longer be worth reporting
- the protests that kicked off in 2020 never really stopped. what happened was cops kept targeting journalists until they quit reporting on them. media conglomerates suppressed any reporting of national unrest, and you were lucky to hear of anything local, either. they will do this again.
- i guess where we're at right now is, this regime has figured out that you can't un-kill people, and has seen that they will face no consequences when they do, so they are now focused on increasing militarization and provoking and escalating violence this is obviously an extremely bad development
- they were definitely testing vulnerabilities over the past several months but now i think they are both emboldened and impatient killing people avoids lengthy and annoying legal procedures and since nothing happens to them when they kill people, they have no reason to stop doing that
- there was that period of time where they seemed stuck, uncertain which direction to go, and they came out of that with a *much* more aggressive and violent posture. the National Guard deployments were largely unresisted and they help sell a "law and order" narrative even as they entice violence

View full threadone other thing is that, with a million immigrants now out of the country through one means or another, they have to redouble their efforts to keep up that pace. it's not acceleration for its own sake, they need to protect their momentum to improve their side's morale (which is poor)

- Reposted by large mozzHi, so immigrants aren't okay because they are basically declaring open season on us and shit is going to get even worse for the community than it has been.

- i can't agree with this enough. life is also so much less stressful when you stop making what other people do your problem (assuming it's not hurting anyone)

- one of the most incredible things i ever see is somebody (usually a woman or at least not a man) posting about a topic they're an expert on and some rando guy coming in to mansplain some aspect of it to them just the sheer chutzpah it takes to do that

- ok this is the best idea ive heard
- i didn't like when the Internet shifted from countless small isolated communities into a handful of massive "everyone" platforms and i more and more think this trend might do (might have already done) incredible damage to humanity
- i know it's not been all bad but im not convinced it's more good than bad either
- if the machine gets stressed and can't work complex tasks under pressure then why would it ever be able to replace a human lol are the AIs going to need health benefits so they can go to therapy
- the hardest part of running a large social media platform is liability all talk of moderation and safety is only really about liability nobody wants to be responsible for it, and ATproto is architecturally designed to avoid it (whether this will actually work is yet to be determined)
