I think the portion of the public that reads and trusts the media narrative is a lot smaller than the narrative claims it is. I understand it's hard not to feel discouraged but this is a deeply unpopular government. When they reduce the public to a monolith they ignore the majority of it.
oh no I've been vulgar and common how awful lol
I haven't had to give a shit about passing exams for decades and I'm not going to start now lol You don't actually have any authority over me here
You started off by telling me I'd failed. I think I just touched a nerve. Some people build their whole identity on being part of an us that's better/smarter than 'the public'.
scolding people doesn't make them want to help you out hope this helps 🙂
🙄
You started off here with bad faith assumptions. I'm not seeking your approval. I do not require it.
You evidently understood me enough to feel offended by what I said and respond by insulting me. What was it that bothered you so much?
Why assume I've failed?
this is hyper normalisation in action you're entirely unable to comprehend any possibility of anything real/true/valid existing outside of your norms and values they are your entire universe
I found a subreddit for the app and it's all 'creators', nobody talking about listening (though some people talking about stream counts being obviously bot boosted)
the 'success' is being the most streamed account on an AI music creation app and getting this article written
in your argument it does not count because the people you are doing it to have not 'earned' the right to be considered people
breaking people down on purpose in order to 'encourage' them to comply and obey and become part of your 'we'
You assume the only purpose of criticism is to shame and humiliate those considered inferior in order to encourage them to become superior. That's why politicians can criticise the people but the people can't criticise politicians. That's not constructive criticism. It is destructive.
Blaming fascism on mental illness is blaming the Other for hatred of the Other. Liberal rationalism is eugenicist ideology.
All of this
Ive said this many times before will keep reiterating it, the "people with bad views are just insane" bullshit is sanist and actively lumps mentally ill people in with our oppressors just so people can feel better by pretending that there is something essentially different between them & shitty ppl.
all of this thank you ❤️
It actually makes me so infuriated that so many peoples analysis of violent eugenicists is to go "they're crazy" like you get that their goal is killing mentally ill people right? You get that thats an ahistorical and antiintellectual analysis that throws away actualyl examining them and their views
after reading the comments it was definitely via python for me, my parents were big fans
you are saying this online take your own fucking advice hypocrite
hating your children is one of the traditional British values the establishment is desperate to restore
you are a person using the internet to say that nobody should be saying things on the internet do you see the problem here?
He isn't ignorant. He isn't confused. He is defending traditional British values.
Haven't read, but aware of and can picture (41/UK)
No. The theory provided a simple comforting narrative to those who wanted to dismiss the role of structural and systemic causes. But it doesn't work in practice.
it feels right if you're only looking at it on a surface level and that's all that matters to some people
My reply directly relates to the preceding post. Pretending you're confused is silly.
The implication is that the people who don't agree with all of this don't really count as people.
You aren't criticising people constructively. You're just shaming and insulting them.
I got food poisoning from a hot dog at a catered event in London it was horrific. Especially as my journey home was a three hour coach trip at 4am 😭
Yeah, smug centrists should definitely stop trying to tell everyone on here that they're doing social media wrong and insisting that they need to spend more time on X to 'broaden' their horizons. It's getting really annoying.
They would have been born on British territory. They would have been told they were British. You do know about the empire right?
I was talking about you. If you refuse to tolerate criticism and dissent then you are already an authoritarian. All that matters is defending the purity of your in group and hating and punishing the Other.
No, the dispute is regarding precisely when and where in the UK it was invented. You've made assumptions based on very outdated stereotypes and refused to update them when presented with evidence that contradicts them.
who is your us if it's not members of the public?
no they believe in the eugenicist ideology of the Enlightenment
they don't want purity to be tested because they think they've found it they need a hero to build a cosy narrative around and that's all that matters
as if the only possible purpose of criticism is to condemn someone to the Other and then kill them such a fucked up culture
pretty sure that it's that they see scams and bullying as cool and good actually they've been running their own for centuries
yeah they act like posh white people who love the monarchy are the only True Brits and nobody else really counts
it's unsettling because they are displaying more empathy towards the LLM than they are towards other human beings it takes a really fucked up culture to end up like that
It keeps happening when I disagree with them on here. They insist I must worship the royal family and that means I have no right to criticise anything anywhere else. As if it's impossible not to be a national supremacist.
as with so many things the US perspective is based exclusively on the views of posh white people in the 19th century and nobody else
it's what happens if you make a mistake when you're applying for your curry license
it reminds me of how they will quite often just flat out refuse to believe that someone could be British and not support the monarchy. They've got their stereotype and nothing is allowed to contradict it.
the USA overtook the UK as the imperial core after world war 2 that doesn't mean it's not connected the UK is chasing them down the drain as fast as possible ATM
This has really moved me. Thank you. My grandmother and great aunt were both institutionalised for significant periods of their lives and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand how that generational trauma has played into my own mental health struggles.
It's a colonial mentality and ideology. It originated in Europe. It produced the USA.
It's this refusal of set theory where there cannot be any intersections or overlaps. British people are white and posh and love the monarchy and that's it.
biblical fundamentalism is always right wing
Insisting it's not a political issue is normalisation. Identity monoliths are part of the problem.
Labour are already doing what he's doing. And your refusal to tolerate criticism and dissent shows you're already on board with that.
if complaining about things on social media is always useless then there is no point in using social media to complain about people using social media to complain about things
so much western analysis of fascism is aimed at placing it with a foreign Other, rather than examining the systemic and structural roots in colonialism and classical liberalism.
this is the establishment yet again insisting that classical/centrist liberalism is 'the left' and nothing could possibly exist beyond that the political spectrum of rich white men hasn't changed since the 18th century but the world has no matter how hard they try and deny it
the ivory tower view does not represent humanity as a whole it represents those who believe they have the right to claim ownership of humanity
they do also teach this in the UK but not to everyone it's kept for the Proper People at private schools and universities the masses have already been assumed to be irredeemable
newtonian physics envy
if people were really 'naturally' subservient and easily led then authoritarianism wouldn't require so much violence
it's really winding me up the way so many media narratives present being mean and selfish as intelligent and adult and necessary and being compassionate and ethical as silly and childish and indulgent
it takes a culture built on a hatred of humanity to produce such a desperate desire for an existence outside of it
Yeah. Crediting nature/evolution with plans and designs and intentions is just creationism with extra steps.
the objection to 'sanewashing' is a demand for Othering
they must learn to inhabit the 'real world' where everybody always follows all the rules properly and politely and nicely 😭
you think you need more than 57% of the votes to win an election? how many do you need?
you're trying to intimidate people into doing what you want it isn't working
Insulting me isn't going to help convince me. The only appeal beyond his party affiliation seems to be his similarity to trump. That's why he's preferable to other possible candidates.
no he's definitely Mussolini in that analogy
You're telling people they have to vote your way or they're a terrorist that's personally responsible for everything bad that's happening. That the only thing good enough is total unconditional loyalty.
you're saying you'd settle for a more polite fascist regime that only hates and punishes the people you hate
Classing criticism and dissent as terrorism is authoritarian as fuck
the only way to exist outside humanity is to become inhuman they brand that as rationality and sell it as a virtue
I don't need to consider anything other than his own direct personal contributions to the issue to reach that conclusion. But the media is actually mostly saying he isn't being racist enough.
I think people are mostly looking for a narrative that allows them to believe that everything is going to be ok. And they really value that.
He isn't opposed to the press. He is opposed to criticism and dissent. And most of the US media is happy to go along with trying to eradicate it. The more loudly you declare your moral purity the less people trust you.
Adnan Hussain being Muslim is not the issue, his transphobia is - and if you bring that up regarding all this fuck you! FUCK YOU!
The fact that people still think they can and should expect universal human agreement on anything is pretty scary to me tbh.
it is madness and that is worse it is messy and loud rather than neat and tidy
classing madness as worse than fascism does explain why you can't understand this you still fear the Other more than you fear the totalitarian
If you made a horror movie in which the bad guys sent flying robots to drop grenades on women and children taking refuge in tents, it would seem too comically evil to be believable. But that's what Israel is doing in real life, right now, every day.
your attitude is british as fuck lol liberals 🙄
You replied to me 20 minutes ago lol. The terms left and right are actually used to describe politics in a lot of different countries, as well as in a more general theoretical sense. They're not yours. Sorry.
"The Centre for Social Justice" really takes the top prize for "most incorrectly named vicious pressure group" tbh. Truly evil.
The original post wasn't country specific and neither was my comment. Such a weird thing to scold someone for.
Experts warn against loaning anything to the UK because of it, you know, being Britain
some people actually want to fight fascism and that's not the same as fighting to restore the purity of the republic
Game Theory? 50’s academics only found the Zero Sum Game/sociopath version interesting. They ignored & hid other work that showed humans co-operating & finding murals balance. They called this Folk Theorem. Much like Lived Experience, it was professionally discounted as knowledge.
they need this in order to try and justify their own violent brutality as the lesser evil including/especially colonialism
I was not talking about the US. I'm not from there. I don't know why you'd assume I must be.
You can scroll up if you've forgotten the post you made about how 'nobody' cares about a woman's consent.
this routine has been part of classical liberal orthodoxy since at least 1848
the generic voter is the redeemable Other that can be moulded and guided and controlled the left are the irredeemable Other that can only be scolded and rejected and punished and the refusal of the masses to agree to the conditions of the former means they must also be condemned to the latter
I'm muting you now. You're actively insulting me. I know what I am talking about here. But that doesn't suit your narrative.
AI tools make existing problems worse. They are not a solution. Investment in human beings is.
we oppose the cause you believe in the world is under no obligation to serve you
It doesn't pass as human a lot of the time and people see faces in clouds brains are weird code isn't
Assuming the spaces you inhabit must be clean and pure and Good is what makes them so racist. Anyone suggesting it could be a problem has already been dismissed as an unreliable witness.
