  • IMO tech bros’ main goal for this technology is to use it to manipulate public opinion on social media. It is perfect for it and the “daydreaming” (bullshitting) is perfect.

    Notice that all social media are involved in it, Twitter was “sold” to xAI, the recent incident with Grok about South African apartheid. The 10 year ban to regulate it by states etc.

    They talk about it increasing productivity (and are hoping that it could be used for that too), but if people would know it is meant for disinformation, they would be even more against skipping copyright for it.

    Musk saying he is stepping down when week earlier was saying he will be there for a year (yes, I know he is behind the scenes, but was forced to not be public).

    The narrative about Ukraine, Canada, Greenland softened.

    Politicians who went to El Salvador.

    The problem is that when this admin softened so did the protests and that’s bad.

    It is much harder to get a buy in from general population that arrests and natural law was necessary if the protests are peaceful.

    Escalation caused by the government motivates more people to join the protest. While of protest was violent from the start more people will be against it and will avoid being part of it.

    Another example, Ukrainian orange revolution and Euromaidan. It was started by students (BTW this is why trump attacks students) and as the government started being violent, made other Ukrainians join.

    Peaceful protests actually work better, but requires actual action not just sitting at home and upvoting shit.

    Poland was able to overthrow authoritarian regime via peaceful protests, general strikes. Yes, at moments they turned violent, but it is because the government escalated it.

    We don’t want this administration to use protest’s violence to be used to consolidate their power, instead we want the violence caused by the government to encourage more people to join protests. It is more of us than them, we actually have more power and it is a matter of everyone realizing this.

    I encourage everyone to take Resistance Lab training: https://www.pramilaforcongress.com/the-resistance-lab

    First of all, this is about being PoC not about having certain political view.

    Or do you think there is a reason that people with different skin color vote certain way?

    Second, if this was the community I encountered some time ago, then it was mere tagging so people couldn’t pretend to be someone who they aren’t. You still could post there without being black.

    But anyway this was about political groups. I don’t see “leftists” subreddits requiring a purity check like I see on nearly every conservative subreddit.
