@VioletFlame23 @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr i entertain quite a bit of scenarios. serious political thought requires hypotheticals
English
@qualiascript @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr If you're seriously entertaining scenarios about the mass imprisonment of any particular group, that says more about you than it does about society, regardless of the contrived hypothetical justifications you can come up with for it
English
the replies and quotes of this post are despicable.
i literally just want people to treat trans people with kindness and also think murder is bad. the bar is 6 feet under the ground, and 95% of this website can't meet it

Trans woman dressed up like Blues Brothers murdered millionaire developer in LA trib.al/CWGBQaM
English
@thewreathwright @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr sure, but i don't think the voting populus would have much of a preference for due process in a war-like situation
English
@qualiascript @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr It’s such a small group that you could also just only imprison the people trying to do murder
in fact, you could do that far easier, with far less opposition, while making yourself far fewer enemies
English
@VioletFlame23 @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr the Hobbesean substratum behind the Rousseauian liberal project never fully goes away, and it can always be reawakened. the Overton Window would massively shift in case of an asymmetrical conflict emerging
English
@qualiascript @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr I once saw a Neo-Nazi bragging about how he got an early GPT model to agree that killing all Jews would be justified, by creating a contrived scenario where every Jew on Earth was imminently and murderously hostile to everyone else
You're basically doing the same thing here
English
@VioletFlame23 @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr if i was in a minority that was in active war with the US, i couldn't complain much if my rights get rescinded
English
@qualiascript @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr If you think sending an entire demographic group to prison on the basis of identity alone would ever be justified, then it's hard to believe you're much of a supporter
English
@VioletFlame23 @ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr obviously. liberalism only applies *because* there's no large scale military conflicts between groups intranationally.
English
English
@ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr i am, in fact, currently a supporter. but i am sure i don't "go far enough" with my support in some way or another, and as such i would be a target for your deranged terrorist fantasies. and at that point, basic game theory kicks in. so back. the. fuck. off.
English
@qualiascript @ShadowyZephyr and clearly, this is all hypothetical and you're currently a supporter.
charming
anyway, I'd rather be dead than raped in prison, and I'd rather die energetically, so y'know
English
@ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr i do not think you understand the parameters at play here. your side is 1% of the population at most, and if it is a radicalized population that seeks to start the murders, we can simply imprison every single one of you. and if you try to resist by force, well, you do the math
English
@qualiascript @ShadowyZephyr and if a critical mass of people thought like you seem to, I'd support letting god sort us all out
English
@ablata_at_alba @ShadowyZephyr if a critical mass of trans people thought like this, id have to choice but to support revoking all trans rights and start the state sanctioned crackdowns
English
@ShadowyZephyr gonna be honest, things are bad enough that I'm fully willing to suspend my belief in the latter until we achieve the former
however, for YIMBY reasons, we must protect our developers
English
changed my mind again!
nominal sets are close to what i want, and there might be a way to make them work, but it's a lot nicer to work with my own construction with a bit more structure. i can use it to more easily build a type theory, which is the real goal here
alco ⊢ ꙮ@qualiascript
so it turns out what i was trying to construct is called nominal sets, which are sheaves of the Schanuel topos bad news: there's nothing new under the sun good news: i was trying to construct this for my PL project, which now is for sure doable, with solid math foundations
English
i don't think Meta was renamed due to the Metaverse tbf
they were likely looking for an excuse to rebrand away from their product with largely negative associations, and chose a 4-letter catchy name that signals "operating on another level"
dev@zivdotcat
> be Zuckerberg. > rename Facebook to Meta in 2021. > declare the future is the metaverse. > in 2022–2023, Spend $31B+ on Reality Labs. > Legless avatars, empty rooms, still no users. > Stock crashes 70%. > Keep going anyway. > Total spend crosses $80B+. > in 2023, AI takes over. > quietly stop saying “metaverse.” > launch Llama. > rebrand as “AI-first.” > pull the plug. Rename your company for a product, then abandon the product. Greatest pivot in tech history or the most expensive mistake ever made.
English
@qualiascript well that all depends on a detailed exegesis of the politics of your favorite category theorists
English
@sweepy_twt @grindafrathjis i didn't even mention being a "conservative" btw, i mentioned being right-leaning. you are the one who put the word "conservative" in the discussion
surely even if being a conservative inherently meant being less trait open, the argument does not hold to the entire right-wing!
English
@sweepy_twt @grindafrathjis is building a border wall, leaving the WHO and starting a war with Iran "maintaining existing conditions and institutions"? and yet, a Conservative president did all of these actions. almost like political labels are in flux and do not cleanly correspond to their specific labels
English
“right-leaning and high openness” i can’t get over this phrase dawg
alco ⊢ ꙮ@qualiascript
being right-leaning and high openness is so funny. "this is one of my favorite musicians, i disagree with everything they stand for, highly recommend"
English
@sweepy_twt @grindafrathjis > conflating lowercase c conservative with uppercase C Conservative, when the distinction is literally made in the screenshot you shared
do goyim really
English
@qualiascript @grindafrathjis now what did you mean by all that cause I’m just talking about the dictionary here
English
@sweepy_twt @grindafrathjis oh is that so? i think you'd find there's a quite rich and interesting body of genetics, political philosophy and cultural anthropology that i suspect you would not be all that open towards!
English
@grindafrathjis @qualiascript its the cornerstone of being right wing that you aren’t that. i mean it’s literally defined by it. hope that helps
English
@FuckedUpYogis the difference is there's no actual discourse because like 95% of people agree with me and find it funny and/or relatable
English
Rightoids thinking they just invented the “Separating Art from Artist” discourse. And somehow managing to phrase it in even more annoying vocabulary.
