Countries that see themselves as democracies have failed themselves for not shutting off crypto scams a decade ago.

Are you arguing with the “market cap” of eloncumrocket?!

crypto fanatics are ”degen“ gamblers at unlicensed mob casinos.

Tether printing liquidity means the price of Bitcoin doesn’t vary as much, so people move to alts to get their narcotics. And yes, the high they “yolo” into is extreme leverage in fully unregulated casinos that trap suckers/losers.

Crab bucket communities and media ecosystems wring every dollar, iota of time, and bodily utility out of them, while sleight of hand distracting from patriarchal exploitation.

Giving them participatory license to abuse others seems to extend their own misery and sticking to the hierarchies.

Also, we’ve got a protection racket with your employer that they are “now an AI culture” and what with all your new productivity expectations you wouldn’t want to get let ”left behind” through unemployment, would you?

People really love the “hundredth monkey” idea that expressing legitimate concern is somehow more dangerous than the mass of what’s been building up the safety concerns, what we haven't been protected from so far.

Anyone can self-identify as "a leftist" in online spaces.

You're not going to get honest conversations with "anti-idpol" people who use class solidarity solely as a rhetorical weapon against intersectional concerns.

The stance is their loyalty to hierarchy.

Yeah, apparently he wants to double-tax and double-benefit.

Love the person who decided to write a "nicer" version of the same in his defense, because obviously that was necessary.

Slop and TERF seem pretty "dangerous" words I guess.

since again we are forced to guess at what construes "misuse" of the labeler among many, maybe people who noticed (via auto-label) the COO advocating for the Heritage Foundation?

obviously this is an easy mistake to make and all of us publicly follow reactionary groups, for reasons

people wouldn't have to guess if you weren't shaming people for using the shaming bot you created

the wise admins of bluesky have decided that creating a moderation list of AI slop posters is a no no

The point is that engaging in good faith with someone operating in bad faith leads to bad outcomes.

"Most of the stuff the republicans spout, a grade school student could easily correct"

"Debates" aren't about logic. They aren't structured around these things. They aren't moderated well.

Again, evolutionary biologists learned this, the Discovery Institute gave up and "pivoted to Blockchain"

kept seeing that guy show up in RTs with odd takes and finding the sleaziest ways to frame "we should tax people for not birthing" and framing anyone questioning as "antinatalist" was enough from that creep.

surprised I haven't seen reactionaries try that slight yet

Audiences don't have the knowledge to distinguish who is correct, nor are most doing anything but cheering for their "side", and this sport is not about good science, it's entirely about rhetoric.

And then we get political streamers optimizing for rhetoric and dunking over broad movements.
