I had a tweet at the time saying Blue Lives Matter was the most openly fascist thing I'd seen in America in my lifetime bc it was responding to Black Lives Matter by saying "no they don't, and in fact your murderers are our heroes" with a little sticker you could put on your fucking pickup truck

Thank you for fighting misinformation and learned helplessness in one thread.

We don’t have to look to historical examples for everything - we can instead imagine a version of the future where post-violence social cohesion doesn’t come at the cost of ignoring/forgetting about something until the people who did it are in their 80s

Rather than comforting ourselves with things that didn’t happen, we should be asking questions that actually strengthen our resilience.

For example, what is it about American society that encourages us to accept extreme cruelty as a normal fact of life? How do we push back against this in future?

I just love this, because when you grow up around people who believe demons are real and that you are one of them, they treat you accordingly. The earlier in life you experience that treatment, the harder it is to fool you. You develop a theory of mind and realize not everyone wants equality.

I hate it here. Also, why is Bostrom a co-author of this paper? "The challenge we focus on here, therefore, is not how to dismantle platforms but how to fortify them against manipulation"
No, we can actually do better than this and dismantle them. Calling for less is laziness or greed.

This is genuinely such an incredible interview, Ruth absolutely hits the nail on the head at the end!
