Human creativity is not at risk. The ability to sell your creative works is at risk. The problem is capitalism- not the tech.

If you’re having trouble following it, just ask for clarification. You’re not in a position to be an ass when you’re confused.

It’s not to convert the fascist. It’s to make them a joke in front of everyone else, and fuck their recruitment.

There’s actually a really interesting and funny example in history. The Superman radio broadcast from back before television started featuring stories about Superman fighting the KKK, and one of the writers had infiltrated the group to get real insider info, and then make fun of it on the show. It was a massive embarrassment for the clan, and really fucked up their operations, especially recruitment.

The eagerness to censor people, and not the companies pushing the shit, is such peak fascist bootlicking behavior.

The point isn’t to make them feel humiliation, nor convert them. It’s to make an example of them. This is also why people should physically assault any Nazis they see in public. Make being openly fascist an embarrassing & dangerous lifestyle.

All paternalism is authoritarian. Not all authoritarianism is paternal.

Middle aged. Your theory sounds bunk.

Yeah, you’re aware of the definition of paternalism then. That’s the whole point of authoritarianism. The leadership does not believe the people can trusted to run their own lives, and treats the entire population as disobedient teenagers.

“Instantaneous cure” sounds like you’re suggesting something super fucked up.

The point isn’t to convert the fascist. It’s to humiliate them and expose them in front of everyone else.

In the same vein, one can criticize the actual way China is ran, rather than running with every western lie you’re told about China.

Yes, we need more regulation of companies, and what they push. Not people.

The same way we fight it in the physical world. With debate and education and engagement.

Wild that you would express concern with spreading of fascism while advocating for technocracy. You don’t oppose fascism- you just have a preferred flavor of it.

I’m so tired of this rampant paternalism across society. It’s exhausting.

Get a vpn provider. Set the location as the Netherlands. Set up a docker container with deluge and openvpn, and set it up to use your vpn provider.

Voila. You only need run your torrent traffic through the vpn, and it’ll be on its own kill switch.

I can give as many more examples as you would like. This isn’t an isolated incident. This is business as usual.

I don’t think ‘don’t commit war crimes’ and ‘don’t commit genocide’ are impossible standards. And NATO’s far right allies in Ukraine are literally drawing swastikas on every missile.

NATO is a fascist organization. No, I don’t think a person who supports Ukrainians being ruled by a far-right puppet government, installed by the US, opposes fascism.

Just a bunch pro-fascist NATO talking points. That lines up. You don’t oppose fascism. You just have a preferred flavor of it.

Genocide is not a “single issue.” For genocide to be allowed to happen, there has to be a mountain of other issues.

You are a disgusting person for hand waving genocide like this. You should be ashamed of yourself.

There’s always just enough Democrats.
