And yet, that decline in particular is mainly cultural. When people are depersonalized by capitalism, service workers get treated as disposable robots instead of humans with lives and dreams. This isn’t because people are dumber, but because of the context we exist in. This context is not stable and can easily change.

As far as LLMs go, they’ll probably have an effect similar to an irresponsible friend who encourages whatever a person believes. Unlike the enabling of harmful behavior that cults or gangs cause, it’s personalized and individualistic. That said, it still has a similar effect on how it drives people bonkers more than any mental illness or handicap.

I am guilty of this, mostly because if I have to repost memes from somewhere, I’d rather it be somewhere off the fediverse so people don’t see double. It would be hard work to only post oc, and my oc isn’t always received as well as reposts. I personally aim for there to be regular posts by someone in the communities I post in, and collecting reposts allows me to build a backlog I could never build with oc alone.

Besides, I don’t believe in meme ownership unless it took a significant amount of artistic talent to create. Since that includes none of my posts, I do onto others as I want done onto me.

A Hitler youth founder was killed recently, so maybe -7 years

What a menace. Not only are they committing genocide, but they’re creating problems for everyone in the region. At a certain point, arab countries need to consider if the damage they may do to their other enemies is worth the risk.

There’s no empathy for them, only love of the tribe.

Yup. Luigi is likely yet another innocent victim of cruel billionaires, so I no longer feel comfortable talking about pulling a Luigi on capitalists. Terrorizing billionaires with targeted assassinations however…

As I said months ago, current service members need to plan retirement asap to not be used as fascist tools against Americans. One can’t simply quit without consequence, but you can get out sooner than you otherwise would. Get out now before you’re deployed to a war.

King’s protests held weight because the movement could potentially turn violent if he wasn’t listened to. It’s what happened with Gandhi.

That’s the idea :3

Never been a fan of this movie. It has some eugenics themes, with the world of the story being dysfunctional because people became inherently inferior. The really scary part about our current dystopia is that things suck without people being dumber than we’ve always been. It’s not a simple issue of intelligence, but culture, dominant societal scripts, and systemic issues. Comparing reality to the movie ironically takes the most simple minded viewpoint possible; people are just stupid now and weren’t in the past.

I’ve known this for years. What I’m pissed about is liberal asshats who think transphobes are the messiahs who will save their already dead rule of law.

They wish they didn’t have to kiss the ring, but at least they aren’t seeing harsher regulation from radical communist liberals.

What a weak mentality from a fitting username. The voters must change to match the party in your mind, not the other way around. To suggest otherwise means I’m an anti voter or green party Russian agent. That’s the only possible interpretation for someone unwilling tolerate criticism of their tribe; that I’m an absolute strawman who isn’t enlightened enough to polish shoes with my tongue.

I’m not quite sure what point you’re trying to make. Can you reword it?
