That’s less than I pay for healthcare ATM. Talk about a bargain!

That is a good point, and I think the difficult part is the initial change. Once you connect to a revolutionary/vanguard community with it’s own cultural riches on the other end then it is as you say, the less exhausting option.

I still think we should support those that do primary if just to show the flippant double standards.

It’s like saying the Republicans are right that you should be scared of immigrants and then being surprised when people vote out of fear for the person who will hurt those immigrants more. They didn’t campaign on mass deportation as one has claimed, but they did justify people’s fears of immigrants.

Revolution sounds exhausting. Blaming voters means I can simply wait for other people to change by learning the right lessons even though they never seem to.

It’s not just protesting though, we use it to train and organize people so later we can respond when the time comes. We need a diversity of tactics which is why I don’t criticize how people protest anymore, as long as you are causing good trouble then you are not the problem.

That was just from Trump’s first term. Fuck.

My daycare closed for a day so they could get their passports “just in case”. This shit is infuriating.

Any state that does not guarantee equal rights for it’s people should not exist. Hate has nothing to do with it.

Those are just tools for controlling the masses. The oligarchs want control and will burn this country down to keep it.

Don’t make our environment healthier but do keep tabs on how unhealthy you are made.

That’s an interesting conjecture and at some point you have to wonder if there was malice instead of incompetence advising the campaign.

If you think critics of wokeness are wrong, then show why. Don’t just insult them and pretend that counts as insight.

Why would someone take the time to explain something to someone arguing in bad faith? Sounds like a foolish endeavor.

I’ll leave you with the words from OP elsewhere in this thread because it equally applies to you:

Thanks, but I didn’t ask that and your assertion is based on your own bias/opinion

Yes I had an inflammatory response. I honestly don’t perceive OP as making a good faith argument when they say “negative effects of wokeness”. It’s a thought terminating cliche.

Every stripe and star on the flag represents a genocide in the past, and an ongoing genocide in the present.

Some amendments are more equal than others.

• SCOTUS when it ignores an amendment like the 14th

Okay then, swap out AI with wokeness, it still doesn’t come to the level of a “worldview”. It is still an observation.

everyone who disagrees with my worldview is a bot

I hardly consider my opinion on AI a “worldview”. It is an observation that generative AI use in decision making and creativity reduces cognitive activity. Yes I asked OP to disprove me in an “ad-hominem” manner though. I guess we violently agree on that?

Not really… AI bots are bad at providing value because they have no values and don’t understand context. You can deliver a scathing reproach that has value as long as it fits the context and reflects your values. But do you consider your response an ad-hominem?

You are right in that I never answered the question asked. However, I would not say the conversation is a nonstarter, I asked you a question and you answered it well. That sounds like a discussion to me…
