Ironic that they named themselves on a plot about breaking out of a cycle of control, classic Palantir or Anduril vibes too of like “haha movies good where stonks”
And also important for all of us to remember the "administration" is generally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics with a fuckton of money and goals embedded there among other interests. The destabilization is the point, so unification is better, but everything you said is correct
Can’t wait to see how much lint is in her dryer
lol database engineers who’ve built very complex systems and ingest and query mechanisms across the world all the sudden got very mad at your comment and they’re not sure why
Yup, that's how you get cops who can't even fathom what "de-escalation" means
EAT THE RICH
I think or something along those lines
Ah the old krunning dugers
That makes sense, and my comment isn't to tell people not to protest, it's just to defend people being smart. This is game theory. Know what the opponent is doing. We hope for universal altruism and rational empathy but instead we have this, so people can be smart about protecting themselves while also protesting. Protesting is the altruism, but I would argue that "Can’t deport or kill everyone." could be worded as "I will kill or deport everyone who disagrees" and that is certainly not the first time in history someone has thought that and only through massive amounts of death and suffering has that been stopped during those moments, so hopefully we can get smarter about stopping it with less of that.
I've got nipples, Greg.
Do you think because they are nonviolent protests you are not going into a Palantir database that is categorizing you based on Peter Thiel wanting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment and therefore trying to tee up global collapse so he can be a technofuedalist king who will not hesitate to just blacklist someone because they showed up for an event against the fascism he wants for himself? And at that point there are no laws to what "blacklist" means, even worse than "Deny, Deport, Disappear"?
Yeah one of my favorite little stories / poems is something I read on Tumblr years ago. It's currently attributed to Swan Jolras:
we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering "is there anybody out there" and hoping and guessing and imagining
because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe
and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for us— we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, we'd never get to meet them
and then
we built robots?
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image
and maybe in a hundred years we won't be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and we'll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we won't be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! we're people, too! you're not alone any more! , maybe we'll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello.
The astronauts of today from various nations literally live and work together in shared space stations, less concerned with who's tribe is better and more concerned with, you know, space, which is vast and doesn't give a shit about our petty differences
I mean as long as you use the shower to get clean too, that's just pure efficiency
