Because society is so terrified of the technologies we have created that it has adopted the ideal that everything needs to be perfect right here and now, and so any deviation from acting out that Utopian fantasy is met harshly, even though it’s obviously not true to any rational person.
Saw a great idea recently:
Write down all your fears for what will happen over the next four years. Then, re-read your list every few months and check off everything which has actually happened.
Publish a movie full of young girls dancing provocatively in stripper attire: I sleep
Misuse of money: REAL SHIT!!!
We must all do our part to curb carbon emissions.
No not like that!
Because people have forgotten that bad actors exist.
“Funny” has a much broader connotation than what you’re suggesting. In this case it’s funny because the truth doesn’t align with what is expressed by his critics.
We need a common foundation around which any coherent society can centre themselves. In order for that to propagate beyond a single generation, ideas must be passed down in some form for others later to still understand why things are as they are. We simply don’t have a perfect answer, and never will without knowing all of everything which ever has and ever will happen.
No matter how divinely inspired any text may be, it will ultimately suffer from the imperfections of the limited human ability to convey ideas amongst each other, and over thousands of years it becomes corrupt. This is obviously exacerbated by those who would deliberately seek to derive power from it, in ignorance of any truth which may have been professed at the origin.
Discussion is absolutely possible as to interpretations, specifically amongst those who actually hold the reigns of power.
How about committing genocide because genetic science proves that your race has superior genes? The problem is with people’s behaviours themselves, regardless of what excuses someone uses to justify them.
The problem is that it’s not just make believe bullshit, but over thousands of years, and being abused repeatedly by those seeking to derive power from it, the original message/intent gets lost entirely.
Hahaha, that’s cute.
I was part of the first generation brought up with computers, and I’ve been spending my entire life since trying to figure out what went wrong and how to teach myself all of the things that computers failed to convey, while everyone tries to exploit the “gap” to attack their political opponents. It’s been a riot.
Ah, I may be skipping over some details that are considered common knowledge over there. So basically Epstein, and others he was involved with, and others like him, appear to have been offering their “services” to provide for the fantasies of the rich and the powerful, whatever they may be, while also collecting blackmail material on those same people for political purposes. This appears to have been connected to Mossad, and is believed to be largely responsible for allowing some of the more corrupt behaviours within western societies to persist.
Dude looks like an AI generated human.
Apparently I earned a site wide ban from lemmy.ml, but their posts keep showing up here. Annoyingly, I learned that when you get banned the “block community” button is hidden, so you have to add each community you want to block manually. So just blocking the entire instance solves my problem.
The parts that concern me the most are areas where the political parties tend to walk in lock step, such as mass surveillance and monetary policy. The fact that Trump has had a rocky relationship with the GoP ever since he announced his candidacy for the 2016 election helps his image with others who are concerned about the “uniparty”.
This video may help to shed some light on the issue for you. Basically, it’s been going on for much longer than most people realize.
Edit: Regarding Harris, they don’t really take her seriously, personally. Rather, the concern is the entrenched powers in the civil service and media will collaborate to use her as a puppet, to defend the people they believe to be protecting the bad actors involved in human trafficking, such as Epstein, Diddy and John of God.
If you really want to know, I have maintained a presence on both left and right wing sites since the schism ~2016, as a life long liberal who felt they could no longer support the insanity over the past decade, but is still apprehensive of hardcore conservatism.
To be blunt, the energy among the right is extremely high right now. The Puff Daddy case has them celebrating like crazy, because despite what people here like to say about them, ending the institutionalized sex trafficking is actually the most important issue for many of them. Along with that, they’re extremely happy that the democrats have such a weak candidate, as they see this election to be the largest potential obstacle to actually being capable of addressing said institutionalized sex trafficking. They are also quite hopeful that a Trump victory will provide the tools necessary to deal with administrative bloat within the government, specifically addressing the FIAT currency system which makes everyone poorer year after year, which has been another significant sticking point for them. There is also, apparently, a fair bit of action being taken to combat fraud as it happens in this election, which has everyone in high spirits.
