@john @llewelly The road to hell is paved with people telling you it's not so bad, like boiling frogs.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Monday, 08-Apr-2024 21:02:29 JST Wherz Demloots @llewelly Does the accuracy and predictive value of this data change anything about the fact that extreme action is required immediately? If not, then just use it as evidence that extreme action is required immediately. Because it is. Second-guessing this shit has no value.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Thursday, 21-Mar-2024 19:38:20 JST Wherz Demloots @sidereal People like you in Germany protested against Nuclear, got some plants shut down, and because imports from Russia are down, they predictably went back to coal for their energy needs. How's that for a climate success! This is the problem; being against nuclear is not a pro-environment position, it just gives authorities a pass to keep doing what they're doing instead of looking for solutions to the crisis for which we are past several tipping points already. It is far too late to be fretting over issues with potential solutions; we ALREADY don't have a future.

If I valued art for my interpretation on it instead of appreciation for the work and intent of the maker, I would have zero respect for 99% of art except the rare few things that strike me, and that's unfair. Art is work and skill and intent, not color and shape, and AI art is stolen skill and no work.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Sunday, 17-Mar-2024 10:25:27 JST Wherz Demloots @arrrg Discouraging voting, or displaying attitudes against voting, is 'trying to make the dems lose'. Of course this conversation is far bigger than just you or I, but it's composed of people just like you or I.
But it seems overwhelmingly clear that you don't understand that there won't be another election if the dems lose this one. I had your attitude in 2016 when we could afford to lose because of the Dems' hubris. The Dems didn't learn their lesson from losing to Trump the first time. Don't like genocide? Well you should not like the trans and ukrainian genocides that will happen if the Dems don't win.

Those for whom the result isn't life and death are privileged. It was death for millions the last time Trump won.

If the concern over Biden's age has to do with competent leaders, then Kamala ain't a competent leader either. But okay a sack of potatoes is preferable to a fascist in that seat.

Also yeah the above guy correctly clocked you as bad faith.
For any spectators, Wikipedia: "The manosphere is a diverse collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism" + "The manosphere overlaps with the far-right and alt-right communities. It has also been associated with online harassment and has been implicated in radicalizing men into misogynist beliefs and the glorification of violence against women."

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Saturday, 16-Mar-2024 00:20:53 JST Wherz Demloots @Robert_R_Freitag_II @ldpm @gwensnyder The term manosphere exists to describe a group on the internet. People can have opinions (especially based on demonstrable fact) on that group, like thinking they're misogynistic and others can be offended in response to that opinion, what the fuck is the problem?

It just happens to also be absolutely replete with misogyny and far-right radicalization, not definitionally, mind you, but practically it is so full of it that it is only controversial to call it misogynistic if you're trying to sweep the misogyny under the rug.

Enjoy your immense privilege for the outcome to not be life and death for you. Also never pretend to be against genocide again if you think there's no point to preventing a second and third genocide on top of the current one. -

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2024 21:08:32 JST Wherz Demloots @Loukas I seriously don't understand this reply guy concept, what people think about it, or what the issue is. What is the point of social media if not to reply to people? Doesn't talking politics naturally invite replies? Is it just annoyance? Is it offensive? I don't get it.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2024 20:54:20 JST Wherz Demloots @AllStatesAreBad Perhaps it would be good to distinguish someone with anarchist perspectives or philosophy (eg. 'the state is the ultimate enemy') and people with anarchist prescriptions.

Wherz Demloots (makberberovic@kolektiva.social)'s status on Wednesday, 06-Mar-2024 23:30:17 JST Wherz Demloots @VPS_Reports The conversation is not incremental change vs radical action, the conversation is 'how do we prevent an instant defeat condition from which there is no return' (+3 genocides looming) and if 'voting' isn't on your list then you ain't taking this seriously.
