I think it’s American rugged individualism, conservatives have an easy time agreeing on binary decisions (women’s rights bad, science bad, immigrants bad, etc) whereas anything progressive requires complications solutions and problem definitions. In that there are many right answers, and liberals seem willing to be more angry with someone 95% in agreement with them rather than the people trying to drag the country backwards.

Look how many people tuned in to watch Tyson and Paul fight, giving more money to those Trump loving douchebags

It’s like the two dumbest kids in your middle school were the only ones that ran for school elections and now they spout inane shit you have to ignore, except they control nukes.

They’re both trump supporters, so don’t feel, the brain damage was a pre existing condition

I know that was a lot to write so I want to acknowledge I read it all, appreciate the effort.

The existence and interactions of your group of activists is fascinating, I admit I lean towards radical inclusivity so it sounds a bit wild to me, but I also get and respect how difficult it is to maintain group cultures and where exclusivity is necessary and productive.

I fully agree that there will likely be some unity under Trump out of necessity and that it will unfortunately probably be temporary (can’t help but think about Biden getting the most votes ever being strong evidence towards that)

Not much follow up except to say you seem like a good person, hope whatever influence you seek is supported.

Well said, and I didn’t intend to say you are tearing down anyone.

The only relevancy to you is your statement about organizing I think is very important, but the blocker imo is that complex issues require working together in ambiguity and I’m seeing less evidence than ever that progressives who very much agree on what a problem is, and most of the solution to that problem, they then start squabbling rather than working together.

I don’t disagree, but I think that’s still the cart before the horse.

People in general need to stop tearing down people who are closest to them if any complex issue is to ever get solved imo. After the US election all you see is blame getting thrown around, and most of it (that I’ve seen) is blaming people closest in values for not approaching issues in the exact way the blamer wants them to.

Progressives seem like they will always struggle to make anything complex and meaningful happen when they tear each other down, meanwhile bigotry and regressiveness is pretty singular and easy for their opposition to mobilize.

In order for politics to align towards your values you have to vote for the candidate closest to them, which forces the losing parties to get closer or die, which pushes the winning party to move towards you.

If you throw away or don’t vote none of that happens because you have no impact.

Sounds like a wild judgement of another person who you know nothing about.

I don’t know why but I want to say persimmon. They’re worth getting tossed out of paradise for atnleast

I’m still waiting to see civilization start…

Good point, but also it’s not that they will lose all of the user data they sell if people switch off Chrome, just the parts that chrome collects.

If they were blocking ublock users from accessing any google products then it would be purely a ‘we only care about ad revenue’

It would be very interesting to see the internal data they use to make these decisions, but also knowing tech these decisions were probably made by a series of mid level managers sufficiently sucking the air out of the room until a critical mass was hit to make this happen

First and foremost they fill the board with chairs who they have quid pro quo with.

They sue for defamation or don’t

It sounds like you could do with reading up on LLMs in order to know the difference between what it does and what you’re discussing.

If all women listened to men for once?

Someone come out and tell me I’m on a Poe’s law hidden camera show.

Yeah, anything less than :) number of tabs is for the first 5 minutes after buying a new phone.

If you don’t see that many white men have been so privileged for so long that they act entitled to be shitty towards others (including to other white men) than you must be seriously delusional

So at least you are saying you agree Putin’s word is worthless and he is a liar right?
