We need to get better at driving people to these comments and just fucking trolling the ever living fuck out of them until their voice is drowned

“Effective” is the key word. Way to go jumping over that.

The progressive victories are dependent on MAGA shitting the bedding rather than from progressive doing the ground work. As it has always been. Where have you ever seen a progressive victory that wasn’t directly a result of people becoming disenfranchised after they realized the opposition they voted for turned out to be frauds?

Because progressives do not do the ground work. Not effectively. It’s as if taking people who are social outcasts and asking them to compete in a battle of popularity puts them at a disadvantage.

But now is a good time. The left is yet again winning victories only because the right have fucked up so bad that people now want change.

No, you can still push for change in the party. But don’t tell people to not vote strategically when it matters. What very literally the last election was people deciding not to vote for Hilary rather than people voting for Trump. And now women can’t get abortions. The Supreme Court will never side for the left for the rest of your entire life. Saudis are getting nukes. Russia and Ukraine are still at war. Plus there is a new Iran war that added thousands of dollars of expenses to bills annually. And the MAGA donors and Trump have all enriched themselves at a scale that means even after he his long gone, the government will still answer to them. The left were led towards defeat by our own people.

You people are so out of touch it’s not funny. You don’t fuck around with the big elections. You need to show small scale success and build up. You get your Mamdanis. You build networks and communities with shit you don’t believe in, not because you want them to win. You need MAGA to lose. The left are made of the worst procrastinating arch types who fail at most tasks in life. Like this needs serious self reflection. You don’t have the backing of billionaires so you need grass roots. Instead the left sit around until it’s the big game and you hope ideals push you to victory. Then when you lose you blame everything but yourselves. The reason Trump won is as much the fault of leftist voters as it is the right

No it won’t. This is such an insane comment as if you just haven’t existed in the real world for the past 10 years. Democracy is broken and when we have the landscape that we currently do, your idea is the worst advice possible. People need to lock in and vote strategically. It’s only after you have stability that anyone should do what you suggest. But until then there are serious consequences for following advice like yours. There are some things that if you fail today, you’ll never get another chance the rest of your life. Things don’t just go back to some baseline because you feel it in heart that you can ignore the current political situation. Historically it is more likely to fail and create suffering. Vote to win, not for feeling good

Who was? I think people were more excited it wasn’t PPA

I am going to assume the strategy by MAGA will be to allow this to fester. Then towards the next election they’ll start astro turfing and building communities to identify the most insane ones and then amplify those voices to their base and the general public.

Do we prepare?

No. Let it happen. Every time. Go out there and slash those tires of random people trying to get to work in the morning r/fuckcars

What don’t you believe about it?

Generate content. Nobody can know everything but if someone posts about whatever their latest conspiracy is, do you spend an hour trying to debunk it? Maybe move on and ignore? This is the bullshit asymmetry principal. They flood spaces with bullshit so that the left says fuck this and leaves. The issue with this is if anyone reads a repeated message over and over they will come to believe it. This is how advertising works. As long as you’re not diametrically opposed, it’ll become something you see as fact. So one way AI can be used is to make the bullshit less asymmetrical.

Just today I had to look up about CAF banning “god” in the military. I can quickly search how factual this is and find direct sources for what AI says. Under 5 minutes I can have a pretty good argument based on facts with sources. AI closes the bullshit asymmetry problem and returns digital platforms to the left instead of conceding these public spaces to the right

That doesn’t even make sense here

Just because the roads were built by the crown doesn’t mean I shouldn’t use them. They’re here. One thing that oligarch bow to more is money. If the left were smart they’d be the main users again of these platforms to influence the oligarchs to our concerns. But this is why the right have been paying to get the left to remove themselves from that position for the past decade. It’s been very successful

Lol the said the same thing for every advance in technology.

They said the same for books in fact.

So can you show me with evidence this is occurring. If not, I would say you have a similar pattern to how the right get all bothered by immigrants. That this belief stems from a series of online media that targeted certain groups for maximum effect

I don’t see humans being any better. I would rather use the tools available to give us power rather than deny that and give them power over us.

I fully believe this modern luddite behavior on the left was taught to the left through propaganda with the goal of hobbling it. The longer they can keep you away from the tools they’re using to shape the world the better.

Why isn’t it

I don’t think so. I think that decades of science fiction writers who needed villains for their stories has warped generations about how we should interact with technology. Kind of like how old school movies would only cast villains as foreigners or dress them in black. This is a manipulation that is subtle but still a manipulation.

I wrote another line.

Once men refused to work with the machines to advance their knowledge, they become slaves to the ones with the machines not being able to create and identify what came from the machines.

In fact, one group of people who had vicious beliefs and behaviors adopted the machines advancing their efficiency in communication and influence surpassing that of the their opposition. Over time their power grew while the opposition shrank. Thus the opposition hid away in all spaces afraid of confrontation looking for comfort. Eventually driven far underground calling themselves Morlocks as they faded into obscurity.

See we all can write things.

Can’t wait to see all the new accounts telling people to migrate to lemmy and block anyone that you disagree with

This is just them pivoting because they know they need to rejuvenate the party

The Republicans don’t do shit. It’s the MAGA regular voter who gets stuff done. The Republican is as useless as any democrat.

Another one being crucified while leftist turn their backs on

This is such an insane comment 😆

Stop lying
