[PANEL 3: V, IN FRONT OF A STILL OF NAZIS MARCHING CARRYING SWASTIKA-BANNERS]
"YOU HAVE *ENCOURAGED* THESE MALICIOUS INCOMPETENTS, WHO HAVE MADE YOUR WORKING LIFE A SHAMBLES.

[PANEL 7: THE SOLDIERS ENTER THE BROADCAST-ROOM, WHERE THEY ARE GREETED BY THE CLOAKED FIGURE OF V]

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

If I had to guess, it's because they see themselves as having burned their bridges with the whole of the left post 10/7, so acknowledging that the right is rife with antisemites entails, in their minds, being cast adrift without allies

jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

The thing about sentiments in the vein of "Fuck men! Why should anyone be nicer to those privileged assholes?" is that they're really just TERFism with a veneer of resectability

I think it's also fodder for the "everyone is 12" model of things. The opposite sex (these people never mean gender; you can tell they don't view trans men as men) is gross & dumb & why should I have to make nice with them?

It's a mirror to the patriarchal attitude, at the very least. Looking at the post that touched off this discourse, & its quotes & replies, has me hoping Bsky is uber-unrepresentative, because otherwise South Korean gender-relations are the future

Yeah, & that's why I'm still highly uncertain as to whether they have a coherent aim (somethingsomething concepts of a plan) or if they're just making it up as they go along, but I think there's a possibility that they start out simply bombing, then put boots on the ground

It's really hard to say what, if anything, they want to do at this stage, but talk like this makes me think there's at least *some* intention of doing more than just bombing

Yeah, & if, 30 years ago, you were pitted against a technopessimist, you'd come out tops if you applied that to technologies that already existed in some form. Probably there's a lesson there re: extrapolating from state-of-the-art ML to the near future

I think the fact that, prior to being an AI doomer, he undertook a naive attempt at creating a self-improving "seed AI" is instructive. On one hand, he's blinkered & arrogant, but on the other you can't say he hasn't given it a great deal of thought
