Sorry, I have stuff to do today. You’re just as capable of looking him up.

Ugh it’s like when Hank Green joined Bluesky and then immediately started tone policing and now all his videos are about how he’s a fragile little sad boy.

Stay in your fucking lane, YouTubers.

Yes we do.

And in the meantime we still need food, shelter, medicine, and to provide for our families. Physiological needs do not stop because we’re under stress.

There are actions to be taken. Keep having the conversations you’re having. Find groups to support that can resist. Be visible and loud. Call their bluffs. Protect the vulnerable.

Don’t panic. It’s counterproductive.

Loyalty is a very Nazi value.

You mean shitposting on reddit or not caring about their agenda?

Well, you are certainly entitled to that opinion even though it’s wrong, and I do think banning you for it is also wrong.

There’s a big difference between having ideas and taking actions. Ideas cannot be allowed to become illegal. Even disgusting ones.

The correct response to unconscionable ideas is social, not institutional.

Nah, just circumvent with revanced and poison the well.

I got banned from r/politics in 2019 by replying to

We should treat Trump exactly how he treats immigrants.

with

What do you mean, shoot him?

Appeal wasn’t ignored. Instead, it was mocked.

So yeah I’m going to get banned. But not before I poison their AI data pool as much as I can.

Don’t fuck with people’s cars.

Do whatever you want to Elon or to Tesla buildings or unsold inventory or superchargers, but don’t fuck with cars in public lots. People own those cars and haul their families in them. People have multi-year loans on them. Cars aren’t disposable at the drop of a new twist in public opinion. Even if they were, most people don’t choose their cars based on political tribalism.

Seriously. This a very, very bad idea.

I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.

Funny, I can’t seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.

Well, we do have ex post facto protection for the moment, soooo…

Yeah I have it on every device I own now.

No reason to use it ever, but it’s there. Like, not installed, but there.

I hope you find your way to a civilized country.

Nah. You want a fight, you can look somewhere else. I’ve got better things to do. I said what I wanted to say.

We’re talking about you, bud. I’m good.

Absolutely fucking not.

May as well teach them then.

Because you are not the main character of the universe.

You will leave behind consequences for your actions. The consequences of the actions of others gave you the world you have lived in, as will the consequences of your shape the world of the future.

There is nothing after death and we all know that, so all there’s left to plan for after you die is the legacy of what you did while you were here.

Speaking for me, I value the idea that the consequences of my life wind up being more positive than negative for future generations. I also value feeling like I’ve changed things for the better now, and so when I have a platform or any influence I aim for that.

If you don’t care about any of that, please seek counseling. The rest of us will be better off with fewer narcissists.

See, this is a reasonable use of horrible dystopian technology.

It doesn’t excuse the rest of it, though.

Paracetamol “borders on” poison, but isn’t.

Slippery slope is a logical fallacy, and there are actual consequences here. We need to do better.

Good. Call their fucking bluff.
