@PoalackJokes88@caekislove Oh, 100 percent. Imagine something like the Letter to America tiktok trend, but with an English-language Hitler speech. We're getting real close to that being possible, both on the technological and social fronts.
@caekislove Counting down the days until /a/ can toss in a Jap cartoon, press a button, and have an AI translate the text, generate embeddings of each voice actor, map them to equivalent English-language voices, and seamlessly dub the whole thing without a single troon involved in any step of the process. We've already got voice replication (see vid related), mapping voices to new languages is on the way, and translation is already solved.
Guy who packs it together and releases it under a funny name is gonna get so many bitcoins in donations.
@Ghislaine A common joke, but the first guy who figures out how to pay crackheads with XMR to assault and rob their political enemies will change history.
@WashedOutGundamPilot If you mean the eceleb drama, I think that's just a small clique of weirdos. I don't follow it beyond seeing mentions of it in my feed occasionally.
Part of it is that this community selects for people who got attached enough to the right circa 2014 that they waded through like a dozen waves of censorship. There's more intersection between that group and people with unhealthy parasocial relationships than there is between ordinary men and people with unhealthy parasocial relationships.
Therno's post is wrong though - the black vote was always fraud, and now it's blatant enough that, unless you've got a way to prevent fraud (seems regime change - complete, but possible that degrading competence plus a wide enough landslide means some nog will fuck up the math somewhere), there's no sense talking about voter demographics.
Kind of want to tell the last few Hillary voters on Reddit, see if I can give them an aneurism by informing them of exactly what kind of content the next generation is enjoying online.
@NotImportant@WashedOutGundamPilot I wrote a longer reply elsewhere, but the online conspiracy boomers, despite their weird rhetoric, are pretty smart about their actual actions. The queue people sort of internalized the mindset of 2016 /pol/, and formalized it into their strange religion - "Don't ever do IRL shit without an immediate, practical goal that you intend to accomplish by doing so, and always operate as part of a larger crowd that the regime is afraid to directly attack" is something they took to heart.
@WashedOutGundamPilot@NotImportant I think the logic, here, would've been that Trump goes with the crowd, the crowd camps out around Congress, and then the options are either give in and acknowledge the election was fraudulent (I don't think they even expected to get away with it, I think they expected to use "He overturned the election!!!" as the Russiagate of the next four years) or actively attack an encampment of people with the sitting president right there alongside them (which is an order most of them wouldn't have followed - I've seen videos of the leadup, most of the cops in the area were more or less sympathetic, they deal with one of the most bn crime-ridden places in the country on a daily basis).
There were certainly glowies around, but I don't think they had any real control over the situation, and they were clearly terrified over the next few days. The military standdown and pullout from Afghanistan were brought about by fear; we all saw those pics of Nat. Guard guys snubbing Biden/Harris in the aftermath. If Trump had played it a little bit smarter, and had politically reliable guards around him, things could've been a lot different.
@WashedOutGundamPilot@NotImportant That implies that the regime is stronger than it is, in multiple senses of the word. If they had the balls to do that in the face of serious opposition, they'd have done it in 2016. Further, they've still got hundreds of thousands of Trump guys in DC, and the trigger-pullers might go with Trump (at which point it's positively, definitely over for whoever ordered them to break it up, whereas if they just laugh it off and memory hole the whole thing, they get another chance in 2024, and can probably get Trump to pick some DeSantis/Kemp style person as a successor, or at least think they can).
The only real way they pull through is if Trump is out of the picture, and the crowd just sort of disperses on its own. The regime can't use hard power at any meaningful scale - it's outgunned.
