    Alas, but, tragedy of commons and game theory [(and FOMO)] have us racing to the bottom (~ along with a dozen other things impeding an effective collective bargaining, or any of the other things that would otherwise allow us to have nice things).



  • Couldn’t we just have warning messages?

    Thus preserving free speech and not setting a precedent that may [/ shall inevitably] come back to bite us.

    Maybe even LLM could generate the warnings on the fly.

    “Look out! Now he’s reading the plans off the teleprompter! … Look out! Now he’s spitballing freestyle! … Beware there are three fallacies per word uttered for this portion. … Beware of the fevered ego of a narcissist tactically noising up an evasive distraction, gaslighting, darvo, future faking. … Warning: This section contains fascist tactics of blaming the other, drumming up fear of losing an identity of a nostalgic past that never really existed, drumming up hate and racial groupthink to induce a divisive totalitarian mob eager to militarise under supremacist delusion of destiny to rule to be fulfilled by jingoist expansionism and total domination but wraps it in a euphemism of flowery language heavilly laden with superlatives. … Fact check: This portion makes false claims of having fulfilled promises. … Note: this is just empty tautological statements sandwiched between bragging and boasting and hard-sell. … Warning: This section contains a psyop to dupe you into thinking you should be blindly faithful to your leader, rather than your elected representative being faithful to the will of you the people.”

    … Stuff like that. n_n

    Or maybe simpler, just like on tobacco products. “Warning, listening to this may cause brain damage, emotional instability, cognitive dissonance, discombobulation, and totalitarianised fascistic supremacist persuasions of competing groupthinks, to divide and conquer your population with this, a weapon of mass distraction. Observe responsibly.”

    Or maybe more compassionate, like a health warning… “this is what happens to you when you let yourself get played by blackmailers who want to wear your narcissistic ego like a puppet, and you stew your brain in excitotoxins for decades to induce a slow chemical lobotomy leaving you blissfully oblivious to how much you get played like a puppet.”

    … Okay, I’ll stop. I realise I could probably do dozens of these, and they’re not really that funny or revealing or hot or useful to be worth it. n_n

    Yep. Well put.

    Reminds also of the tactic of tacking totalitarianwards/tyrannywards, where identification on economics, or inconsequential cultural identifications, are played against each other, each professing to be the freedom side, and proclaiming the other the authoritarian side, while really the two sides both professing and proclaiming the other way, are in cahoots, and the sides they present, keep those identifying with the sides, fighting each other. Like the more libertarian left hoodwinked by the authoritarian left telling the libertarian left that the authoritarian left are just like them, the libertarian left, and that all the right are the authoritarians to fear. And the same on the other side, the authoritarian right telling the more libertarian right that the authoritarian right are just like them, the libertarian right, and that [classic Mc’Carthian redscare con here:] the left are all the authoritarians to fear. And then to hide this, placations are loudly given, each side, ((at least) professing to) return a freedom, “personal” or “economic”, depending on which side, while simultaneously quietly taking away two freedoms of the other ilk. The other side repeats this. Cons their side that they care, and are the strongman saviour you need to protect you against the other side’s rampant scary authoritarianism. Back and forth it goes, tacking to totalitarianism and tyranny, for so long as we keep falling for it, keep identifying with these 1-bit binary groujpthink identifications of “left” and “right” with ignorance of the con. I say, lets stop falling for it.

    I know that’s a joke, and it’s funny… but I’m concerned for those for whom this reads straight, take it as a good idea, and don’t realise they’re opposaming, oblivious to the non-censoring possibilities and paradigms, not realising, as TORF said “If they censor your opponents, then they censor you next”, the broader precedent set…

    Oh for more good ideas to help dispell the bad ideas. … Maybe clearing the chemical lobotomy from the food supply would help. If we can accomplish that, past the crooks with their incentives to keep that in place… … then maybe there’d be less of the compounding stupid that threatens us all.

    Why’s that guy trying to get us to manifest his absence from our view?

    On some level, he knows what he does is wrong, but cannot help himself. …And so, this is his cry for help?

    Poor fool, apparently knows no other tool but the hammer, only questions which direction to swing it, and didn’t question even that very much at all. Unthinkable to him, to cease wielding that hammer, and start to learn about other tools. … Then maybe they’d be out of the redscare psyop’s conflation; out of the authoritarian opposame; out of the arrogant naive-realist presumption; out of the agnotologically abused co-perpetration that he points his finger at, oblivious to the three pointing back.

    Pesky adhominous strawmen division-sowing groupthink-calcifying asset-agents.

    I’d rather imagine a world without neither censorship diktats nor vapid inane poorly-veiled reverse-psychology gambits to induce groupthink. Y’know, free speech, and no terrorism. … Terrorism, y’know, the application of terror for political gain. Like alluding to some scary slippery slope dystopian scenario to get people to conform to your political agenda. No matter how ineptly done, ~ or even, not inept, and works exactly as intended, strengthening the in-group’s shared dogma and fear of the other, and keeping the other, the out-group, contemptuous of the sins of the in-group, which only furthers the division, eases the conquer, playing group vs group… while the crooks continue to run a muck. This is no time for falling for pitchforks vs torches. No time for falling for the divisive scams from such scammers and agents.

    “conservative content”.

    Conserve what?

    Is a question more can benefit from asking any time anyone tries to induce you to their groupthink with this enticing pitcherplant of a Rorschach test.

    Then maybe fewer would fall for it.
