  • Because most of these (if not all) are literally meant to placate you.

    Try asking stuff about like politicians who might be dictators. When it refuses to tell label people, ask it why, and then question those answers.

    Albeit I am primarily referencing Trump here, and it won’t label democrats either, if you live in reality then just… cmon… cmon. Try asking it for, say, numerical comparisons to Hitler. Not sure about others, but Copilot will just tell you that’s off limits.

    It all but tells you it’s meant to create engaging conversations more than anything else. They easily fudge numbers all the time, so…

    LLM is only as informative as whoever is controlling it allows it to be, just like social media, traditional media, etc.

    I hate how much I sound like the old conspiracy heads lmfao.







  • I think wayyyyy more people than you realize say it. Even people you think are raging leftists. Most of us got quiet because we in general agree with left leaning things. Feel free to skim my profile…

    But man… fucking EVERYONE says retarded. I’m very left leaning. Once I got away from a few select people… it was genuinely kind of a culture shock for me how many people say it lol.

    I’m not advocating for people to just sling it like crazy… and I know in a way that’s kind of what’s gonna happen to SOME EXTENT… but as someone who tried to push other folks toward not saying this in the past…

    I 100% think it’s a lost cause. I don’t think it’s going away. I don’t personally think it’s ableist and never did.

    To make a comparison, from my perspective, it’s kind of like turning the word “insane” into a slur… we did some reaaaal bad things to people under the veil they were “insane.” We put people in jail and mental hospital for most of their lives. We fried their brains with medication and lobotomized them both chemically and physically. It’s not as common, but it is 100% an insult to tell someone they are insane or acting insane (I mean if they’re bashing their skull into a tree or somethin that IS insane but that would also be an extreme example to call someone retarded over)

    But we don’t get upset about calling people insane today… everything has context and I think the context of retard has moved on from why people are offended.

    A more apt comparison is being equally mad you called someone slow… I mean… retard is literally a word for slow in French… it kinda really only become ableist when someone wants it to be interpreted that way. At what point is simply calling someone stupid not also then ableist? Are we gonna crucify people if they use any other insult beyond “ignorant” that doesn’t indicate the insultee’s willingness in their stupidity? Or is “you lack/display a lack of intelligence” (the definition of stupidity) somehow more classy than slow and retarded in your eyes?

    My 2c is that unless you expect to erase the word (you’re not going to) you’re better off helping to change the meaning in common view (most of us just think it means ya RLY RLY fkin dumb but use a word beyond stupid or idiot) and steal it back from them. Grinding to death and dividing OURSELVES internally over shit this nonsensical is killing us.

    It’s an easy code switch that uses their language against them and makes you more credible in their eyes 🤷🏻 as an ally I’m just saying not every battle can be won the way you originally wanted it to be

    TLDR: bunch of different justifications for why I call MAGATs retards when they make stupid points in arguments


  • Some key quotes:

    “What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”

    “Bezmenov described this process as “a great brainwashing” that has four basic stages. The first stage is called “demoralization” which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve…minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country — in other words, the time it takes to change what the people are thinking.”

    “As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him…show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he receives a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that."

    “Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is “destabilization”. During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it.”

    “The third stage would be “crisis.” It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis, explained Bezmenov. The crisis would bring “a violent change of power, structure, and economy” and will be followed by the last stage, “normalization.” That’s when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.”



  • This is naive. Russia has been waging psychological warfare on us for literally decades. They are open about this. They’ve written books about it. It is LITERALLY Russian military doctrine.

    I am NOT advocating for marching on Moscow. But to ignore the psychological warfare that was amplified by, yes willing conspirators which does indicate we DO have a root problem here too, is to ignore the circumstances that brought us here.

    We are only here because of the combination of old-school crazies in the Heritage Foundation controlling Fox News/trad. media and our 4chan billionaires pushing all sorts of propaganda from the depths of the internet & 4chan, which is pretty much all Russian/chinese/iranian propaganda aimed at destabilizing trust within the west.

    Sure people are stupid and like conspiracies — but the conspiracy sphere is EXACTLY a target of Russian propaganda because the user base already distrusts the government and they’re a user base that’s willing to push their beliefs onto others if you can convince them… see QANON. Qanon has deep ties to both Russia AND to the tech bros, namely Thiel and Musk.

    This is only possible because of the MARRIAGE OF THESE IDEAS. They are equally to blame. We are at war with Russia as much as we are at war with our own traitorous billionaires.



  • Yes, I know - but the revolution is happening because people are angry and they believe the system is broken.

    I’m all for a short return to normalcy if actual change follows.

    If actual change does not follow, I promise you we will be right back in this position before you know it.

    I completely agree that what’s coming is worse. But if you don’t have a plan, the ensuing chaos is EXACTLY what Silicon Valley is hoping for so they can grab power. They have said it out loud.


  • No one said that. As the others pointed out, I’m saying have a plan.

    The go-to example is the French Revolution. There was no plan for after they eliminated the “bad guys,” and they ended up executing mostly non-rich folk. Saw a stat elsewhere that it may have been as few as 20% of victims were the rich.

    Do we really want 80% of the people hurt by a revolution to be the common folk? If that’s what you wanted you might as well stick with the current status quo. You’re getting it.

    I’m not going to argue further with you as the others have already done so well enough. I am only saying: have a plan, or things very well could go even worse




  • Yes, revealing the truth that we’ve been under attack from Russia - by their own admission - is “repeating all the same mistakes.” A criminal Mafia State that literally told us they would do this 🙄

    Everyone knows that some of this tension was preexisting. Civil rights was only in the 60s. But, as it has been made clear, Russia actively abused those tensions.

    Your continued attacks (and deletion of previous comment) really just highlight that you are not coming at this with the intent to actually engage. It is more gaslighting, lies and attacks is the face of facts.

    It is boring, overdone, and quite simply, annoying. If you’re not actively propaganda, then there is 0 reason for you to be attacking me this way.
