@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired everyone says "Leo Frank, Leo Frank, Leo Frank", but what about the people that killed him? He wasn't killed by an angry rabble, wasn't it actually pretty influential people who intervened to correct an obvious failure of justice?
Bonus for celebrating "one of those guys day", you can emphasize other things he did and leave it to the ADL to angrily bring up the subject of Leo Frank. -

@MK2boogaloo looks like she's already wearing your resistance down. I don't know whether to tell you stay strong or to tell you to surrender, but I like the background. -

@weaf
Israel gets attacked by the entire region?: "Well, of course that'd happen."
Israel gets destroyed and the number increments by 1? "I saw this one coming from a long away off. It'd honestly be weird if anything else happened after how they behaved."
WWIII starts and US/RU/CN all go to war as a result? "yeah, there was a lot that they could've done to avoid this. You didn't need to be a prophet." -

@weaf if you know a guy who constantly recklessly does drugs in raves where he fucks drugged-up strangers with a body count of hundreds/year … then you kinda expect him to die young. You don’t have to WANT for him to die young. Maybe he’s really cool apart from his lifestyle and you’re good friends with him. But the longer he lives, the healthier his daily life, the fewer his STDs, the more a sense of unease will fall on you: is this really an orderly universe, ruled by cause an effect, where actions have consequences and bad consequences are just inherent in bad actions? Could it be that Oprah Winfrey fans are right and you can just ‘think good thoughts’ to only have good things happen to you? Could it instead that humanity had it all wrong and man was meant to live on impure cocaine and male hookers?
For such evil to persist, unpunished by its own deeds, is actually mind-breaking. In the alternative case, where the guy just OD’s on fentanyl at 25, you would think “well of course that happen. RIP.”

@ArdainianRight @John_Darksoul nah it's completely impossible. Look at how incredibly weak NATO is right now! The only way we'd get WWIII is if it just started one day, but the opposing side showed incredible restraint and kept expecting the conflict to die down, while giving NATO time to test a generation of weapon systems and ramp production up to the point it could barely compete. And then the other side would still have to show incredible restraint as NATO-aligned powers resort to assassinations and terrorists attacks!
I mean, from a certain perspective, that's been happening for two years already, but it'll never happen. -

@mint @lucy @sun @takao "just wait until this generation grows up" is eternal. There's a Doonsbury comic strip about our current deep state, tearfully applying to join the Clinton administration which is their generation finally coming to power and stopping all the dumb wars.
All I heard as a kid was that things would change once people who really understood the internet got into power. If there's a difference its probably that people who think they understand the internet are less cautious about legislating it to force "click here to accept cookies". -

@sun @lucy @mint @takao it's generational, but more in the Game of Life sense than the colloquial political sense. Things turned to shit because the prior order was upheld by a set of ideas that failed to propagate to future generations. We had open systems and open protocols and lightly moderated distributed platforms because that's the internet that most of the people on the internet wanted.
But it's all very easy to abuse, and once the abuse ramps up people stop wanting the abuseable systems and it becomes easy to sell other ideas with shadowbanning and algorithms.
Once upon a time if a guy had my phone number he could call it and I'd pick up and we'd have a conservation. Now I get 100+ scam calls a month and never pick up the phone ever. -

@mint @sun @lucy @takao pro trip: if you keep updating your seethe to include the new generation of teenager, your seethe begins to take on an air of broad-mindedness and cultural awareness.
The out of touch boomer complains about how teenagers dare expect 1/100th of the starting wages the boomer himself got. The boomer with his finger on the pulse of society, he complains about "broccoli hair" and "tiktok trends". -

not a big fan of the modern gaming experience where a game leads its presentation with 'diversity' and then, because I'm still interested in it, I have to scour a bunch of materials for the game to see how woke it is exactly to justify spending any money on it. -

a. your mind was read
b. you vocalized your thought unknowingly, and this was overheard
c. your thought yesterday was externally prompted without you noticing/remember the prompt. Say, he was in your recommends yesterday, maybe in an end-of-video wall of recommends -

@WTFPurpleAlpaca @WashedOutGundamPilot aren't the Democrats taking the more moral route by bloating voter registration and then committing voter fraud with the excess registrations? Nobody has to participate. No free citizen has to submit himself to the polling station. Instead, all of politicians and lawyers go into a room by themselves and fight it out: I win if I can cheat more than you can stop me from cheating.
When this system gets more honest, elections can be fully replaced by weekend "capture the flag" hackathons, and nobody will be frustrated any more by delusions like
1. if I vote it sends a message
2. if I don't vote it sends a message
3. if I write in Calvin Coolidge it sends a message -

@SilverDeth @p no network outages. No lag. No mess with joining a chat, joining a group, getting the perms right. It wasn't without its problems but you could solve them and learn from them.
There's been much progress that's less absolute advancement and more "dubious sidegrade", French press (1850s), K-cup machines (2004). Safety razor (1870), Gillette disposable multi-blade razors (1998). Kick scooter (1817), e-scooter (2000s). lan-party StarCraft (1998), online-only StarCraft II (2010). -

@ArdainianRight easy.
1. aim for high disclaimability. You don't notice stuff. You have accidental gaps. You're naturally slow to respond. The assassination happens and it's not your fault - actually, you are one of the victims here!
obvious downside: this makes you look incompetent
subtle downside: everything you do to increase disclaimability, also decreases your ability to credibly tell truths that actually exonerate you.
2. aim for Chomsky's coordination without conspiracy. You don't have "Trump Assassination Workgroup" weekly plans. You don't have plans at all. You make sure everyone thinks the same way and has the same biases and then occasionally you run simulations or counter-planning for what you'd actually like to happen, trusting that people will make the correct inferences and, on the day of, independently decide to do things to benefit the goal.
obvious downside: all of these individual decisions make you look incompetent. Without a plan that everyone's on, people will sabotage the plan unintentionally.
subtle downside: this coordination works for something like the media where continuous acts of conspiracy can be demonstrated, and your group policed over time, but for something like a one-shot assassination the group is ripe for betrayal - members can invisibly decide not to go along with it, and then after the fact members can blow the whole thing up and describe the not-coordination *as* coordination, and that's also very difficult to argue against.
3. use stochastic terrorism to have your assassin volunteer himself. You just say that Trump is Hitler, over and over again, until someone independently decides to kill Hitler.
obvious downside: you don't get to pick the assassin except through stopping him - contrary to your goal. If you get a really dumb who does obviously threatening stuff and wastes a lot of time, your 'disclaimable' incompetence becomes harder and harder to explain.
Glowies have modern problems of everyone having a phone, every corner having a camera, and too much ability for observers to connect dots together. When they have an official pass for official duties they can go with an old-fashioned plan and then brag about it, but when they have to do completely black stuff they have these modern solutions.
But also, you don't have to be a glowie to just hate Trump and realize that a little intentional unintentional incompetence might hurt him. -
