But just the blood infusion thing right? Pretty sure all the other stuff is true

150 is probably way too young in his opinion. He’s moved on to transhumanism. He wants to live for eternity

I hope he ends up a brain in a jar and somebody stores him in the back of a closet under some old newspapers.

I think there’s a reason the right keeps their base only as informed as they need them to be. Most of them have no clue what truth is anymore. It honestly takes a trusted person on the right saying something is going on to even make people start questioning things.

Like without Theo Von and Joe Rogan actually asking some questions about reality, I honestly think nobody on the right would have thought twice about Palestine and Epstein would have slipped back into the abyss like before.

I got the sarcasm. I was just stating that in addition to whatever information they get from notes, I worry they will target people for even allowing their children to receive or seek gender affirming care.

Like they have been arguing for years that allowing your child to begin hormonal therapy before 18 equates to child abuse (while also arguing physical and psychological abuse is your unquestionable God given right as a parent).

And I agree, they start with a focus on hormone blockers to get their foot in the door bc they know their base will support that.

Then it very easily becomes oh well we also need to have access to all the information about any child that has seen a doctor for things like ADHD.

When I say I’m beyond not thinking worst case scenario, I just mean I don’t think there’s really a scenario where this is somehow something everyone shouldn’t be worried about. Even if your child isn’t trans.

There’s always a canary in the coal mine that becomes the scapegoat they use to get their foot in the door. Somehow people didn’t see that was the case with immigrants despite all the warning signs. They argued shit like this was overblown fear mongering.

Now they’re moving the goal post a little further, and I don’t give a fuck if people want to tell me I’m crazy or fear mongering. They don’t fucking deserve the benefit of the doubt. They never did.

100% and as always they boil it down to “well even if all that other stuff is true, it’s for the safety of children.”

Yet we have fucking confirmation that exposing networks of wealthy and powerful pedophiles is not on the agenda. Those people are untouchable. Those people are also the ones that we are handing complete control over to.

So who tf are we really protecting children from by doing this?

Don’t parental controls exist for a reason? Can’t you just block VPN use on individual devices like an additional parental control rather than making everyone that uses a VPN prove they’re not a child?

Anyone else feel like they’ve lost loved ones to AI or they’re in the process of losing someone to AI?

I know the stories about AI induced psychosis, but I don’t mean to that extent.

Like just watching how much somebody close to you has changed now that they depend on AI for so much? Like they lose a little piece of what makes them human, and it kinda becomes difficult to even keep interacting with them.

Example would be trying to have a conversation with somebody who expects you to spoon-feed them only the pieces of information they want to hear.

Like they’ve lost the ability to take in new information if it conflicts with something they already believe to be true.

One of my closest friends uses it for everything and it’s becoming really hard to even have a normal conversation with them.

I remember hearing that about silicon valley tech bros years ago. They’re so used to dealing with robots they kinda forget how to interact with humans. It’s so weird. Not even that they’re trying to be rude, but they’ve stopped using the communication skills that are necessary to have human to human interactions.

Like people seem to forget how you treat a back and forth conversation with a person vs how you treat it with a robot ready to be at your command and tell you the information you want to hear when you pull your phone out.

Then as long as you’re done hearing what you wanted, the whole conversation is done. No need to listen to anything else or think that maybe you misunderstood something or were misinformed bc you already did the research with AI.

It’s so frustrating. This is a normally very smart and caring person I’ve known for a long time, but I feel like I’m losing a part of them and it’s being replaced with something that kinda disgusts me.

Then when I try to bring it up they get so defensive about it and go on the attack. It’s really like dealing with somebody that has an addiction they can’t acknowledge.

The front page of this community. 3 months ago.

Bc passive aggressive people kept reporting content they didn’t want to see in order to get it removed instead of just scrolling past it.

So now there seems to be an awful lot of “you posted this to the wrong community bc it’s not a meme” comments. As though it’s somebody’s first time seeing a post to this community, and they have no idea that microblog memes is not the memes community.

Like I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard that same bullshit, so I usually just assume it’s some passive aggressive asshole being passive aggressive.

Wot?

Seriously, let’s keep giving the benefit of the doubt to the worst fucking people we know. Surely if we just relax until it’s too late once again everything will be ok.

I mean also the fact that they’re targeting youth specifically. I worry they will try to remove kids from homes and claim that parents who allow kids to transition are harmful to their own children.

I’m just beyond not thinking worst case scenario at this point.

I hope that’s all it means, but growing up when it was still normal to send your kid to conversion therapy I worry it could mean other things.

It really wasn’t that long ago that being anything other than 100% straight (at least openly) was treated like a mental illness. I think the DSM listed homosexuality as an official mental illness until the 80s.

It’s wild how often people comment they didn’t realize that now that you can’t make a false report without getting banned.

Palantir creates platforms for data.

This is creating a platform that allows somebody to access every piece of data in one centralized location.

So example, when somebody is determining your social security payment (if that even exists in the future) they(or more likely AI) might be basing that decision not just on data relevant to income but also on something like a personal social credit score based on every piece of available government data related to a person over their entire lifetime.

Did you get flagged as suspicious while flying bc of 9/11. Did something end up on your record by complete mistake? In this centralized data base you could have all kinds of real and incorrect details associated with you (or even other people like friends, family, neighbors, coworkers) used to discriminate against you. Data becomes destiny.

Not to mention if they integrate it with these live facial recognition surveillance networks, something they caught you doing on camera without your knowledge could be used to make decisions.

How?

They’ve literally been asking for more crime cameras be installed to fight crime since a resident was murdered. “It’s not in the budget.”

More on duty police? “Sorry, it’s just not in the budget.”

Live facial recognition tracking system that doesn’t exist anywhere else and can be used to collect data and create a giant AI database with data from every civilian it tracks. That data can then coincidentally be used to train AI models and enhance profits for companies like Palantir.

“Yeah we should be able to swing that in the budget.”

Basically the exact same story is happening in the U.S. city where I live. We have a boil water advisory every other week, we have terrible roads, and awful schools but somehow the city has the budget to update our cameras so we will become the first city to test this out.

After Palantir already secretly used our city to create and test their predictive policing model (which still fucking sucks btw).

Oh also Palantir happens to be currently working with the U.S. government to create a giant database of every citizen.

Not in the clear for sure but when so much is terrible small pieces of good news can make you feel a little better.

This image is just somebody on the subreddit pointing out the 1488 reference.

The weekly ads posted to the sub are by a different “user”, but I do find it odd that the post asking about the 1488 flyer seems to be permadownvoted, and got brigaded by people claiming the OP was insane for even asking about it. I believe one person claimed OP was “schizophrenic.”

Bc during a time when there’s a guy with a swastika tattoo in the white house, you would clearly have to be “insane” to question if a Jan 6er might feel emboldened enough to run a local ad that served as a dog whistle.

This isn’t the ad this is a different user who posted about this ad in their newspaper.

Their weekly ad was just posted today.
