For many, yes - this kind of thing is a reason not to vote for someone where open fascism is a non-event. It’s dumb, but it (kinda) works.

ITT: Bunch of people understandably blackpilled on the justice system.
Yeah - his campaign producing deepfaked support from her when she was busy keeping her views to herself couldn’t have motivated her to correct the record. This is just the personal stuff - the ways in which his policy positions and rhetoric negatively affect her and her fans is endless.
Trump fucked around with one of the few women he has reason to respect (by his framework) - she’s beautiful and wealthier than him. Now he’s finding out, and holy shit is he sore about it.
Why would meeting a political candidate be necessary to understand their policy positions and ability, advance then, and relative merits of the alternative? Democracy wouldn’t work if that were needed.
Who’d have thought the profit motive would lead to outcomes that aren’t always for the benefit of society.
It’s worth pointing out that a good portion of the US media is laundering this narrative - straightforward Goebbels shit with zero consequences - only profits, the end of democracy, then a series of genocides if the narrative works.
This guy performs material analysis.
Genuine question - at what point?
You do it early (now), and you push swing voters away and hurt your cause.
You do it after they have power, and you’ve manufactured the pretext for your extermination.
This is clearly voodoo witchcraft, and MAGA doesn’t have a lot of black women - they’re all too… uppity. Klandace Owens is too busy playing Goebbels to make the pivot to office, so this is all so unfair!
…God emperor Trump - the world’s greatest negotiator who will end the Ukraine and Palestine conflicts before taking office can’t possibly be expected to debate a black woman - she’s far too powerful.
Losing what - their minds? They had to trade those for membership.
It’s OK - we all have off days.
This was obviously Russian fuckery, but looking at any coup globally since WWII, the odds of CIA involvement are pretty goddamn high.
…now that I sound like I belong in hexbear, I’ll see myself out.
What did science and medicine ever do for me?
If you paywall publication and peer-review, you suppress a huge amount of science that doesn’t have the kinds of checks that corporate sponsorship and review introduce. This means studies of things like the dangers of CFCs, smoking, microplastics, thalidomide, and countless other things that’ll kill you will never see the light of day.
There’s self-hosted LLMs, (e.g. Ollama), but for the purposes of this conversation, yeah - they’re centrally hosted, compute intensive software services.
Unlike regular piracy, accessing “their” product hosted on their servers using their power and compute is pretty clearly theft. Morally correct theft that I wholeheartedly support, but theft nonetheless.
Making your choice of tech platforms a meaningful part of your personality is cringey as fuck - irrespective of the platform.
When you’re a billionaire, they let you do it
-Some piece of human waste.
Importantly, they split the vote though.
