The split-screen here is unbelievable - first from yesterday, the others from 2017. Musk’s Twitter has truly driven us mad. People absorb far more of their beliefs from their social environment than they realize, and we’ve created an environment where being a gutter bigot is the baseline expectation

I catch myself more and more often thinking that even when all of this abnormality is over, the world will never be the same. Just like the Belle Époque never returned after World War I.

The disgusting detail of this situation is the fact that one of the main snitchers was the administrator of russian anonymous imageboard. Repressions both in US and Russia are accompanied by violent slang of internet's cloaca. In the US even officials using these "memes" right now.
First they ban the artists. Then their songs. Now they jail street musicians who sing them.
A court in Putin’s hometown has jailed young members of the street band Stoptime for performing a playlist of protest music: en.zona.media/article/2025...

The first stage of regime in Russia also was personal control: first of traditional media, through friendly oligarchs, and then of the internet, through bot farms and buying social networks.
this came up a bit at libcon, in fact: the new model oligarch's first step is to buy a media property. then you use that property to gain political power, which you turn around and deploy to reward yourself and your friends. trump--and now musk--are clear domestic examples.
more than Hitler or Mussolini, Silvio Berlusconi was the prototype for Trump

It's very ironic that the party which made 'fight against Marxism and communism' their brand just copied the worst Soviet practices like building poorly equipped camps in the extreme environment. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazino_...

That anger is the difficulty of coming to terms with what will happen and is almost inevitable. It's like being 30 in Europe in 1914. Spending the best years of your life in a hellish landscape of war, disease, genocide, and fascism. Things did get better decades later and Europe thrived.

The reason why so many conspiracy theories appear after the assassination in Minnesota is not an attempt to make people believe their version. This is an attempt to erase our understanding of reality. To make you think that there is no true or false, only "your opinion and my opinion".

The main feature of modern fascist propaganda is its complete tastelessness. There will be no new Leni Riefenstahl, no new new futuristic cities nor statues, like Profilo Continuo. Modern right wingers hates contemporary ("modern") art and prefer endless AI-slop appealing to their power fantasies.

In Russia, one year ago, ministry of healthcare made new standards for autistic kids "treatment". It includes obsolete drug haloperidol and long-term hospitalization. It was revoked only because of a massive public campaign against it. Horrifying parallels.
They're creating lists to send to the camps.
This bit is also fun

Harvard Medical School scientist Ksenia Petrova, a Russian citizen faces deportation by the US to Russia. It's a dire prospect considering that she openly spoke out and wrote against the war of Russia against Ukraine, a crime according to Russian authorities.

The public cruelty of ICE, which is arresting legal immigrants and even citizens. The public cruelty of right-wing speakers who support this and talk about the "sin of empathy." Is it the AI bot erasing our understanding of morality and justice?

And a lot of people, including US governmental officials making decisions, based on propaganda or propaganda processed by LLMs.
It's been noticed that Russian propaganda been targeting large language model databases to ensure that those would answer with propaganda, there's a whole network working on this task:

The normality of calling for the annexation of Canada, Panama, and Greenland reminds us that imperialism can affect people in the 21st century in first-world countries.

When I am looking at "anti-woke" hysteria over the Witcher 4 trailer, I think what the reaction will be, if a game with someone like Christine from the Dead Money DLC were released today?

The rise of anti-intellectualism reminds me that one of the important signs of the Dark Ages after the fall of the Roman Empire was the decline in the number of texts and the reduced need for learned people who could write. Romans at some point started destroying libraries, consider it "demonic".

Twitter replies under posts about competence of Trump's new appointments looks like: 400 posts and everyone has one "meme" that they post all day. Definitely not bots. Twitter creates a mental cage for everyone, who still use it.
