The most important thing you need to know why #fascism is different, is that it doesn’t offer politics, not even really ideology that much.

Fascism offers a package of belonging, purpose & a path to the top of society for a large amount of people who wouldn’t have a chance at that otherwise.

Of course they’ll be betrayed once fascists have absolute power, but it doesn’t matter to the people who are pulled into it right now.

What if I told you that all those #datacenters being built aren’t going to run #AI for profitable capitalist purposes?

They make no sense unless government was going to pay for it. A goverment running a total surveillance society, continuously at war with the rest of the world and it’s own people.

ONLY if they are planning for a world where consumerist capitalist economies don’t matter anymore.. All this, loss of US, Israel reputations, and the wars make sense.. 🥶😰

I’m not sure if it’s scientifically accurate to say queerness correlates with intelligence, but it is without a doubt that anti-queerness correlates with anti-intelligence.

@dansup FYI experiencing quite long lags in #federation from Loops.video. Much longer than usual (still waiting).

Oddly enough, directly linking to a loops post brings a post up from the pov of my mastodon instance.

It might be a compatibility issue with mastodon.green, or something is not being flushed properly? 🤔

@JohanEmpa Do you have any insights what could be causing this?

Excellent article from Saudi-Arabia, asking the question whether the USA entered the war because they trusted silly little text extrusion machines over human expertise?

#Palantir's "Ender's Foundry" used to develop #simulations for #war outcomes was developed only SIXTY F****NG DAYS before planning commenced!!

So, basically an off-the-shelf #chatbot, with sycophancy still full on, gave these clowns the confidence to go into a full-scale disaster in #iran 🤦♂️

@grant_h @Andii @oscarjiminy What this is essentially saying, is that failures to conform to a core defining principle of conservatism (in-group must be preferred), was ”developmental failure”.

It tells more about the unmatched levels oppression practiced by western socities at large, than it does about neurodivergent people.

We judge people who fail to be good imperialists as defective.

I really recommend following the US/Israel war on Iran from some source that gets the Israeli comments translated from Hebrew, not from English.

You will notice how casually: ”We will kill everyone” keeps being dropped from officials across the board.

"Zuckerberg wants you to think that it is technologically impossible to have a conversation with a friend without him listening in. Cook wants you to think that it is impossible for you to have a reliable computing experience unless he gets a veto over which software you install and without him taking 30 cents out of every dollar you spend. Pichai wants you to think that it is impossible for you to find a webpage unless he gets to spy on you from asshole to appetite."

@aral @casey @joynewacc @aseelfromgz @rania40 @fabio Thank you.

If my credit card is getting blocked by automated systems for donating to valid and verified campaigns, wouldn’t this be a potential signal for foul play by anti-palestinian operators that have access to international payment systems?

If you hear of other such occasions, could you please update me about the situation. I’d like to hear how this will play out.

@aral Hey Aral.

I had my credit card blocked from donating to campaigns listed on gazaverified.org

Some people came out to point to me that many campaigns on the site appear AI generated.

Now. I of course don’t expect there to be NO scammers on the list. And I can imagine Israel would do it’s best to mark legit campaigns as scammers through banking systems.

But what do you have to say on this? You run the list, am I correct?

@DeliaChristina This goes along solidly with other observations about low-skill conservative men: They love AI, because they think it’s somehow unfair that people with talent have a say in how the world is run.

@oldoldcojote @DeliaChristina Studies show that there’s nothing ”wrong” with him, or the people he’s pandering to. Many conservatives really see the world in this simplistic framework of who has dominance over the other, and there’s nothing we can do to make them change that. We can only alter their choices of which group should have dominance, but not the framework of dominance hierarchies as a baseline reality-organising mechanism!

Oh shit.. I hadn’t read Octavia Butler’s Earthseed before.

She practically predicted Project 2025, and that it could lead to a christo-fascist America by 2032, where people can’t read, there’s no public schooling to speak of, and child labour is widespread.

It is a story of small groups of people living in the hills, trying to retain civilisation while America goes to war abroad… 🫣

UK prime minister granted US the permission to use their air bases for: ”Limited defensive opetations”.

Immediately B-52 and B-2 bombers landed there.

… sure, trust me bro, these devices purpose-built for carpet-bombing, will kill Iranian civilians entirely defensively!

A transcontinental heavy bomber aircraft literally has no defensive uses. Are the British really this stupid? Is everybody stupid? Or is Starmer just as much post-truth as Trump? 🤔

Asmondgold saying on stream to millions of maganazis: ”If you take a look at history, mass killing people works. It works really well.”

Yes. They are nazis. The likes of many sentenced at the Nüremburg trials: Sane, charming, industrious, hardworking, even funny, just thoroughly indoctrinated.

In the big picture, nazis were normal people doing monstrous things for normal incentives, not the monsters drinking blood we want them to be, just to avoid seeing ourselves in them.

One of the most through analysis of the US/Israel/Iran war I have seen to date. No propaganda here, just facts!

@cwebber @sleepyowl Age verification is the trojan horse for absolute surveillance

@emptywheel.bsky.social I think the Democrats will vote for it, actually. They’re funded by the military-industrial complex too.

”Putin is war himself” 👏👏👏

Well spoken president Zelenskyy!

Putin has been at war almost constantly.

Lol, US rebroadcasts of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony had the boos to JD Vance removed and replaced with fake cheers!

That’s some Soviet Union -level shit! 😅
