Political points, plain and simple. The right loves to fear monger over brown people, so in the uncommon occurrence that an illegal immigrant does something truly bad, the right wing grift-o-matic kicks into high gear. The affected people start seeing dollar signs and the politicians see an opportunity to scapegoat an entire group and scare their base into forfeiting more power for the illusion of “security.”

They’re bad for now. But the existence of them now is a dire fucking warning and the message is clear: STOP USING FUCKIN SOCIAL MEDIA. How many times do they need to take advantage of you, break your trust, sell you out, and manipulate you before you take all of their power away? We all know they’re evil, everyone knows they fuckin suck. The answer is so painfully clear. But people continue being the engine to their entire existence. Why. Just why.

lol what’s not good about the last of us 2? It’s an excellent story, really engaging gameplay, great storytelling, it’s evocative, gorgeous, gruesome, poignant, sad as hell, has tons of depth, great characters, cohesive and interesting themes, great sound, voice acting…you really can’t ask for much more from a game.

That’s a relatively new phenomenon. All tech media was positive and the stuff of dreams until around the 2010s. Because we were seeing a steady and noticeable shift in the power dynamics. We were being pulled deeper under a capitalist nightmare instead of flying in a techno futuristic dreamscape. We couldn’t see anything but the piling negative aspects of our technology: it’s killing us, it’s enslaving us, its being used to spy on us, we’re being told it’s a wonder but we keep finding out it’s a horror. This isn’t on us for not being enlightened enough to see asimov’s words. We’re too aware of the active manipulation and torture. They made us the product, and they made the things we bought spy machines and tools of manipulation and deception.

We need to create better, freer tech, free from the oligarchs currently wringing us all dry while they build their multimillion dollar doomsday bunkers with the money they’re stealing from us if we are going to build the better world in which the better half of humanity succeeds. Art imitates life. And currently they’re outsourcing art to the oligarchs machines that are 10000x worse for the planet and the power dynamics.

This narrative needs to die. Harris retained more male Biden voters than female Biden voters. The DNC forced a candidate through again—a candidate, mind you, that couldn’t even get traction in the last primary—without letting us choose them, they bungled the entire Biden situation by hiding his declining faculties, and when they choose their candidate for us to swallow? They add a heaping dose of the fucking cheneys as if that’s going to help their cause. They once again keep shifting to the right instead of listening to the massive calls for more progressive policies, and then when they fucked it up so royally they couldn’t beat the most unpopular president in history who was outright saying he was going to be a dictator, they go on the news and say it’s because they were “too progressive.” Not to mention the massively undercounted and overlooked Palestine issue that turned off so many voters. And then they have the gall to say it was because of misogyny. Gtfoh

Look at how much conspiracy content especially after 2016 focused on pedophilia. A lot of it. That carried over into this

Or just change instances. They can’t really stop you from doing that.

If you don’t mind my asking, how do you not have a moral objection to using AI? With everything we know about it, the theft, the benefit to the technocrats, the environmental toll, I could not bring myself to wave away those issues. Not to mention the power imbalance of this tech being controlled by the ruling class, looking to eliminate people’s livelihoods for the sake of profit. What do you use it for? I feel like we should be boycotting them en masse.

I’ve always heard that movie is absolute dogshit and only has one redeeming quality and I still might watch it anyway
