Forgot where I read because it’s been years ago, but someone said that humans should be blessed being born human and not as sheep, as sheep can be led anywhere without question including for slaughter.

What kind of content are you trying to post?

Especially if you’re posting what is judged as “violent” content, even casually talking about non-political violence from third-hand, and Reddit will ban such accounts.

It became slop ever since Schwartz died and spez took over and started turning it into a Trump/Musk shill machine.

For that matter, it was the same problem the US then faced back when it was getting much of their electronics from Japan, as the Soviet threat loomed so large.

Never a shortage of Uncle Toms.

Also, never meet your heroes or invest so much on celebrity, as one never knows when they’ll turn 180 against your politics and beliefs.

It should never be surprising that they’re in there to maintain their lifestyle and appearances, as for every Public Enemy or Ras Kass, there’s him and dozens who choose image and kayfabe over real issues (and won’t be surprising either if Idi Amin exists and he’ll just lounge with him). That if he’s attending a church of sorts, even superficially, high likely it’ll be strongly conservative as much as Bible-puncher tent-revival churches in Africa, where in most parts homosexuality is frowned upon and even persecuted.

For a computer security program it is overreaching to the point of ridiculousness.

I always think about what creates revolutions (and counter-revolutions), and most cases the lack of a single thing usually causes the affected classes to rise up. Something really needs to break the bastards.

Gleeful “FYGM” Am-Fil responding to some fake news.

Whoever you are, fuck you.

Fucking bastard is the convergence of all evil going on in the last few years. Unless one morning they wake up to their neighborhoods patrolled by “militia” in their brodozers, what’s gonna take people to shock them up into outrage, and it’s not just the minorities or the progressives?

So easy to say, but then there’s going to be some “smart” people going there believing Reddit is more “intelligent” than Facebook, because the supposedly “intelligent” young people (actually upper-middle class scared of the poor) hate the rest of my country for being “ignorant” and “degenerate”.

Also known as profiling.

Where I am and due to its greater practicality, nursing is more popular as a college course than compsci.

I once started as compsci, but instead got a job fixing PCs. Also self-learned basic carpentry and plumbing. Looking at raising livestock in the near future.

They’ve been playing the very long game of trying to control human behavior for centuries, not just decades. The one thing to note is that the United States began as a bunch of colonies run by ministers, and the fundies want to go back to that theocratic form of rule. That by the 19th century the temperance movement came from the dozens of Christian subsects. Yeah, they also extended it to anything that did not define as “Christian” behavior, including choice of ideologies (socialism = bad), gender (male or female = good), source of knowledge (Bible > science), beliefs (they have veiled Islamophobia), and even eating and sexual habits.

Now – based on their basic blueprint – they want to artificially induce the Second Coming by trying to get their fucking project off the ground, and impose control on everyone else.

BTW, any collapse or devolution of the United States and the Western world would come off as a wonderful realization for Putin, Dugin, Kyrill, and their cronies. That Jesus himself in his actual Middle Eastern appearance and acts of progressivism would be considered an enemy by fundies expecting a “whitened” Jesus.

Regardless, Prager is full of shit.

How do investors keep falling for this shit.

The ROI and the supposed savings from getting rid of the human side of technical support but also efforts of human creatives.

I used to love Reddit.

I was never invested in it, but then Facebook was overrun by right-wing nutcases so forcing me to take refuge.

Even before I got banned for criticizing spez’ idols, already the country sub where I once hanged around was getting filled with doomers, supposedly smart young people but being assholes to anyone lower than them.

Why? Why does this make sense to them? Who are they serving ads to?

The major subreddits – the ones frequently visible on r/all – are filled with bots now powered by the same AI which the techbros are throwing money into, and then use all that information to simulate online human behavior and content. Already Xitter is also plagued by this AI morass, many of them with Arabic or Indian names.

Matter of time before they start reinstating previously banned political subreddits, and let the fucking Kluxers march in.

It used to be a good system until spez realised the importance of engagement in social media, and then karma became a dopamine-inducing instrument to keep users on the site.

Of course that’s what sells – being engaged as much as playing an MMORPG.

That given enough karma, the account can then be sold to anyone with money.

progressive

Was, before Schwartz died. That the more politicized popular subreddits (as opposed to niche hobby subs) are specifically targeted for being filled with right-leaning content.

The triumph of disinformation.

funded by putin through his oligarch

Yeah, Dugin is getting his wish of the West self-destructing, however slowly.
