This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

One thing the regime has failed to learn from that is a common failure of other regimes attempting state capture is that if you create significant disruption in the day-to-day lives of people, they suddenly have both a lot of free time and identifiable reasons to rebel against you.

This is the thing that I keep coming back to
“I didn’t vote for THIS” Okay, well, a *huge* number of people knew that if the guy you voted for won, this is exactly what would happen. So why did they know and you didn’t? What did you miss? Why did you get it so wrong?

I need people who were wrong about everything to actually look back and recognize that there was a reason they were wrong and maybe they need to update their understanding of the world.
Otherwise they don't really think they were wrong.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

It is very funny watching right wingers go straight into “anything that hurts my feelings is violence” without even doing any throat clearing about how this is different from all the stuff they just spent years making fun of. At least make up an excuse guys

We do know for sure that genAI and LLMs can’t feel. They are a “yes and?” machine designed to be sycophants, the fact that it keeps generating programming behaviours that are beyond the ability to fix of its creators isn’t proof of life. It’s proof the people making it aren’t as smart as they think

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

Regarding the regime, the best moral argument against political violence is that, as long as mass nonviolent resistance is an option, the bar for actually justifying violent rebellion cannot be reached.
And right now, mass nonviolent resistance is kicking fucking ass.
