it's not just the ability to boost false or suggestive narratives.

every single major media platform out of silicon valley has a procedurally refined algorithm to turn your son brother cousin etc into a nazi. this is on purpose. use a fresh OS install from a fresh connection, and go to youtube. search for the most anodyne shit, but especially things a boy might be interested in-lego builds, space ships, tips for running faster. within a few hours of suggested videos, which do auto-play if I remember right, you'll be seeing fuckers like andrew tate and jordan peterson. within about two days of letting it run, without clicking anything but 'yes im still watching' you'll be seeing dudes talk about "BLOOD AND SOIL!" and why your next door neighbor's car breaking down means we must exterminate the jews. facebook does this. instagram does this. tiktok does this since a couple months ago. this isn't just some fluke of an unconsidered system set loose in the wild having bad effects-this is deliberate and engineered.

they target old people and young women too, but it's not as simple and not as well refined. these are attacks. these systems are attacks on your society. they are actively trying to turn people, and young men are the most vulnerable group, into nazis, into useful idiots and potential stochastic terrorists. this is not hypothetical. the perpetrators of recent genocides have talked about how useful a tool it is.

these systems are attacks, and they do have a body count.

okay, yes, their lives really don't matter, it's just good for them too, and if they were rationally self interested they would want it.

I don't even think he'd make it up.

one fun thing we can already see; they're .gov addresses, so it's clearly not OUTSIDE the government. this is officially a government action, if laws still existed, that would have all sorts of interesting implications for everyone involved.

they don't, but, like, if they did.

im kind of shocked a show that was good got a second season on streaming.

the border wall isn't to keep people out. it's a symbol. a monument to xenophobia and the culture of terror.

capital punishment isn't an economic policy. it's a cultural policy. it's there to make killing not just a solution, but THE solution.

the tariffs aren't being put in for money reasons. they're being put in to strike at an enemy, real or imagined, to steer the fascist horde and direct them outwards, rather than inwards where they might notice how shit things are. to give them an enemy to blame for how shit their lives are that isn't the parasitic billionaires who fucked everything up.

who gives a shit what the VP says. im glad somebody's giving consequences to his constant bullshit.

don't know enough about that part of history, I mostly know that the contenders for 'last real christians' were either the pre-munster anabaptists, or weirdo fanatics like john brown. it's not about the killing; christians had been killing each other for a WHILE before that.

I always thought the idea of creating fake dummy databases, or fake servers for them to interact with, was the way to do this. get them changing all the numbers in a spreadsheet generated by a large language model. get them to interact with a server connected entirely to other virtualized servers and existing in its own little world.

I keep saying this, but christianity ended at the siege of munster.

was more referring to the first part. how do you know? I'm going to go to really unreasonable lengths with this line of questioning, just so you know what you're getting into.

wanting that much money requires it.

having that much money also inflicts it on you.

no more billionaires. for their sake, as much as ours.
