Down here, at the bottom of this thread, it’s just us. One of us farted and I know it wasn’t me. Who you going to convince? It’s just us here. You gonna call me a fake person when it’s just us? I get you can’t rationally disagree with my position and be consistent with you purported values. That’s a tough spot. But trying to convince me that I’m not real when it’s just between us? That’s a lost cause. As big a waste as sharing a dissenting opinion here. So let’s shake hands on the fact we both wasted our time.

Jesus Christ… What an absolute godforsaken NSA cesspool Lemmy is. The frustration of not being able to talk to real people who don’t assume you yourself are not a genuine actor. This is the darkest forest.

You are not making sense. In what bubble does what you said sound like English? [Edit: it was this bubble all along! Looks like I made a wrong turn on my way out of Reddit And landed on a State Department website. Is my karma still good or did they wipe it?]

One coin, two sides. What agenda has you looking up and responding to my 2 month old comment? Makes me think all these cries of “Russian bot!” Are projection of some kind. But you know, I don’t think your shit resonates with any human.

How irrational is the idea that Russia won’t stop at Ukraine? These guys don’t have the logistics to extend 100km from their border. You lying or a bot? What you’re saying is a plain contradiction of reality.

I hate the internet where people say the most obvious lies with complete conviction. This stuff has to be fake content produced by somebody with an agenda. It’s on both sides. Sure. This is war in 2024. But here we are, the small people trying to eat and pay rent while our masters are telling us it’s worth sacrificing it all for some country that doesn’t affect us. Why? So Haliburton et al can get another trillion? But the cost is that we’re cut off from honestly discussing the life or death issues of our class.

I’m poor and it sucks! It sucks more when gas prices go up and nobody hears me because I’m under a mountain of propaganda and botted down votes.

We didn’t need proof that they’re all the same but here we can see Democrats voting to keep a christofascist in power so Israel can continue a genocide. America, your vote really does not matter but maybe you feel good “participating” in this reality show? We all deserve a little something to make us feel good every few years.

Imagine living in India and witnessing American consumption intimately is your job. That’s a special kind of cruelty.

Those casualties sound kinda miniscule for the war that’s supposedly marching on to Berlin. Hard to give a damn when it’s half a dozen deaths.

More than that. They own the content and relationships and can use them in ways you cannot predict. LLMs gobble up human produced content because we entrusted it to corporations. What hit hardest for me was when Facebook published a study where they found they could influence users attitude by prioritizing certain posts in their feeds.

Imagine it. Corporations owning your relationships and using them to get a profit out of you

If we’re just making comparisons to justify murder, do you know what’s worse than murdering 7000 people? Murdering 30000 people. But being better by comparison doesn’t make you right. There will always be someone worse to compare yourself to.
