I mean, I get the idea that it's easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like ... Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don't really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.

This isn't a state. There is no corruption. There is no need to prevent corruption on a private forum. If it happens, we leave and tell Ada she's an asshole on the way out.

Shame and shunning are the only actual tools for social change. You can't "teach" this PugJesus out of his bigotry. Shun him and move on with your life. Either he takes the hint or he dies alone. Either way, you did your part. The rest is up to everyone else to follow you. Lying to yourself that you or anyone can do more is just self harm

Their head. They still think they can teach bigotry away. They haven't learned fixing strangers isn't their job yet

Not true. The system suppresses third parties. It doesn't stop them. Parties fall in the US just like everywhere else. When was the last time you spoke to a US whig? Or a Jeffersonian Republican? The system in place when those parties fell was exactly the system we have now. It just takes a massive popular effort and a period of severe political turmoil where the country is heavily divided along party lines and a large portion of the country feels entirely disenfranchised (ideally about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between the two parties and people fed up or greater). Happened at the revolution. Happened at the civil war. Happened at the great depression. Guess where we are now? Don't let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal. We're on the knive's edge now. It's time to push

Despite what the media wants us to think, both parties are wildly unpopular with their own voters and are primed for collapse. Literally all of the conditions historically needed for social revolution have been met

They're saying that like it's special. 100k household being middle class has been a thing where I live since the 90s. Whoever wrote this article is really old to be this flabbergasted by such an unsurprising number. That's two 50k salaries. Honestly I'm amazed anything less is considered middle class. Shits expensive

She's either short sighted or suicidal.

Short sighted: she recognizes that what she's saying is correct in that it would lead to short term gains for the party but fails to recognize the long term effects that allowing "sidelining minorities for political gain" to regain steam it has lost over the past few decades.

Suicidal: she recognizes all of the above is actually absolutely the correct direction for any non-trans democrat who only cares about building party influence to push at this moment and for some god damn reason she's telling the evil fucks all about it in plain English.

This place is explicitly for shit posting. The only thing cringe is saying cringe in 2025

No. And I very much doubt they'll agree to it seeing as trump already threw away all his leverage over them. They have no reason to listen to anything America has to say anymore

Yes. And the world is telling you back that at best you are awful at being in a relationship and at worst you're a manipulative monster. You pick, I don't know you but those are the only options.

Participating in a relationship with other people is a skill. Even you must admit that you're bad at it (otherwise you'd have friends). I know you came here for feedback on him but the fact of the matter is you've told us nothing about him. Only about you, and how you felt. We've got no clue whether he was reacting appropriately. You won't tell us what the fight was about. So the only thing we see is you being a complete Trainwreck.

Seriously. You lack fundamental, basic understanding of how relationships work, probably because your parents are horrible people so you've never seen what healthy is. That's their fault for not modeling good behaviour, but it's your problem to fix. And you need to do it soon.

People thought you were a child here because you're acting like one.

As others have said, no. In no uncertain terms do you have any right to be angry he did what you asked him to do. The fact that you think otherwise is a maaaaaaaassive bloody crimson red flag. Genuinely, you need a therapist. You're not going to figure out how fucked up you are on your own, and you're not going to invent mental health whole cloth out of nowhere.

Genuinely, if you were my friend, I'd be forcing you into an intervention right now. If you ever want to live a happy life, you need to unlearn all this toxic bullshit you've picked up from somewhere as a kid because if you go on acting like this you will NEVER find joy. I'm sorry the world fucked you. Now choose to be better or choose to stay terrible.

Oh also, good men don't put up with people like you. He's definitely an asshole. I've just got no idea what kind.
