it sounds good on paper, that's cheaper than the medicaid/medicare burden of putting them in care facilities. but we all know the ones that need care are probably still going to facilities, and the ones charging for it are probably fake and wouldn't use them anyway. this is why we can't have nice things...

@asurazoma0810 @DawnOfSunset @terrakei07 Friend let me tell you something crazy. The government of NYC pays some people 13 American dollars an hour for people to look after their own elderly. A fake “home healthcare” job. They are protesting now because they want to get paid for 24 hours a day instead of just 13.

urban decay is a worsening issue in many or most major US cities. basically all big cities are liberal, even in conservative states, and rural areas are conservative even in liberal states. it's a weird thing but you can clearly see it on our election maps. i'm not on the east coast so can't speak to it as well, but i've heard it's struggling too, if maybe not as badly. in all cities there are many empty office buildings that can't lower rent because they hold loans on the equity, but nobody can afford it now, so they sit vacant. this leads to more decay from the empty areas, and more homelessness due to the insanely high cost of everything. that's all before even looking at immigrants or those issues. our economy was already unstable, and the covid lockdowns just stuck a knife in its back. it's a problem all over but i think land is still more in demand in NYC (major business hub), while silicon valley (tech) and Hollywood (media) are struggling more, so it's probably uneven, but it's showing up all over to some degree, including non-coastal cities.

i have a lowkey theory that drawing on cave walls became the first externalization of mind. it produced a feedback loop that had strange effects in our neurology and repurposed some survival circuits to do all we do. it's cool, but you are correct. we are still animals, with a modified prefrontal cortex stapled on top. probably 99% of so-called psychology is physiology and neurology in reality. once you view human psychology from this angle, so much more makes sense.

it is very difficult to correct now. voting doesn't matter, clearly. the amount of power they've amassed makes it like a bunch of half-starved children in rags trying to stand up to huge, strong samurai with armor and swords. metaphorically speaking, of course. the only way around that is to break the system or resort to violence, possibly. i'm too old to take part in such, wouldn't promote violence, and am not looking forward to it frankly, but that may be the only way it turns around at this point. another civil war or similar, i'm not sure. or aliens, or the Singularity. those could do it. not holding my breath for either, but they are open possibilities. :) i would strongly suggest any other countries study how this happened here, and don't let it get to this point. stop it sooner while you can, if at all possible. that would be the far better solution.

アメリカ人に聞きたいんだけど、 アメリカの一人当たりGDPは日本の2.6倍もあるのに、 なんでそんなに生活が苦しい人が多いの? 高所得の人がたくさんいるんだから、再分配を少し強化するだけで、貧しい人たちの生活はぐっと楽になると思うけど、なんで再分配を強化しないの? ちなみに、再分配を強化するのは社会主義でも共産主義でもないよ。 それは修正資本主義。君たちの大好きな資本主義を、ほんのちょっと修正しただけのものだよ。

sanity. seriously, not even they know frequently. there are a number of people who've gone around interviewing people at these things, asking them their stance and why they're there. most seem to have no real clue and just be bored and think of it as a way to socialize. they used to do it for rights, but now they have more rights than everyone else, so they just do it for fun i guess.

i think it's more about us absorbing Japanese culture through movies, anime, literature, art, and other sources for generations now. politicians may help it along, or not get in the way of that, but it's what comes out of the country as a whole, created by its people, that really sticks with us most. politicians come and go and are frequently not trusted, but things we interact with regularly, like Nintendo being a key element of many childhoods (as one small example of many) go a long way there.

@TakiVan1 @kengakusha1 @SamEldridge87 yeah. the errors it makes can lead to some odd and misleading translations, but i had assumed it was something like that. including the previous post being replied to might help. good to raise awareness and hopefully prevent a few misunderstandings until they fix it.

日本人が失望した話 高市早苗は長年にわたり 保守的な考えを述べてきました それをブログに綴り その内容は日本にとって理想的な政策で溢れていました 減税 スパイ防止法 移民政策推進の否定 など 日本人の多くは高市早苗に大いに期待していました そして大きな期待を背に彼女は総理大臣となりました そして間もなく 高市早苗はそのブログを全て削除してしまいました あの理想的な政策の数々は全て総理大臣になるための嘘だったのでしょう たくさんの日本人が彼女に失望しました 彼女は全く保守ではなかった ただ保守のふりをした権力者だったのです もはや日本政府内に保守はいないと明確になりました 新たな保守政治家が現れるには 国民の覚醒が必要です

i don't think i ever heard about that. and i was alive and an adult paying some attention 30 years ago. might've forgotten, but i don't recall anything like that. feel free to elaborate further? our major spiral started around the 1960s i think, it's hard to pinpoint precisely, but was definitely in motion before Reagan, and the "political correctness" movement was obvious in the 1980s - which was annoying but mostly harmless, until it suddenly shifted into the full woke thing maybe 10 years ago. the two agendas are presumably related, hitting social and economic in ways that one wouldn't notice as related till much later, when it was too late. you can see about when our government ended the gold standard, changed the old laws on immigration, and a few other things that turned out to have major longterm effects, all not too far apart in time. i generally assume when that set of events started, it was the beginning of a longterm agenda we're come to fruition more fully lately. that would put things in place to have interfered with Japan as part of the same agenda in the time range you suggested. which doesn't mean it was definitely part of it, but it would fit on that scale.

there's that bug again. saying "i" (first person) instead of "she" (third person) in this sort of exchange. i assume the intended sentiment is that she (the prime minster) was a complete globalist, right? just wondering if this is a figure of speech thing or a total error in grok's translation.

coming in from the north, follow the major highways on google maps or similar. you can go north to south through Dallas, Houston, down to Galveston and the gulf, and get most of it. Austin is off to the west a bit and requires a bit of a detour, but is nice if you have time. those are the bigger cities if you're looking for the major route for a road trip. make sure to get some tex-mex too, it's as good as the bbq. warning: in the summer it's very hot, and the closer to the gulf, the more humid. not sure what you're used to, but you step outside and are instantly *wet*, as if standing in the rain all the time.

@conflict_desk @GadSaad buddhism has a good model of compassion, and it's very distinct from the current western idea of it. it generally includes a "tough love" aspect that basically covers the problem that enabling is harmful to the person being enabled, so is not compassionate. among other wisdom.

@GadSaad (1/2) Framing empathy itself as dangerous flips a core human value on its head turning compassion into a liability instead of a strength.

this is why i say the left effectively has "battered wife syndrome", which you described there. i think suicidal empathy has potential variation though. the idea that if we truly understand where someone is coming from, we'll see they are a product of their environment, childhood, etc.. eg: "if i was abused growing up i'd get angry and lash out too" sort of thing, which is a form of empathy / theory of mind. but when taken to the extreme, nobody is every accountable for anything, and everyone is expected to tolerate all abuse because "it's not their fault". this is similar to the battered wife syndrome flavor, but doesn't require the same underlying "i can fix him" pathology. it's more that theory of mind realizes we're all subject to causality, and doesn't realize this doesn't mean we have to tolerate all effects of causality passively to act ethically and be decent humans. a dog doesn't choose to get rabies, but you don't stand around compassionately petting it once it does. or, silly but illustrative: "it's not his fault he's a zombie, he was bit by another zombie against his will, so i should stay and help him". underlying "fault" becomes irrelevant in such situations, at least to one's own actions in self-preservation. same outcome, slightly different pathological cascade to get there.

It is NOT "framing empathy as dangerous," it is describing a pathology involving empathy (or at least the pretense of it). A simple example: a woman and her child marry a wild animal of a man with a long, violent criminal record, but she thinks she can tame him if she loves him enough. He proceeds to brutalize her and her daughter (she instructs her daughter not to fight back, because he won't like it, and the goal is to make him feel loved and to understand his pain and frustration in life). Eventually both of them end up in a hospital but mom soldiers on because she's a caring and empathetic woman! They both now have permanent injuries but they feel like they are making progress because they are so wholly empathetic to him and his feelings. One day while high on drugs he sexually abuses the daughter after beating the mother (again). Mom tells the daughter it must be their fault somehow--they must have done something to provoke him, so, they just need to care more. Try to understand him and his feelings more. Get it?

not everyone thinks of it that way, but that's what's intended, and how responsible people consider it, yes. gangs and violent criminals and morons obviously do not abide by the legal or intended ethical standards, but one wouldn't expect otherwise from those sorts. that's how we sometimes get stories of toddlers accidentally shooting their parents, no joke.

@DawnOfSunset @ShamashAran @chick3T My Pépère, an old New England Catholic, once explained it like this: in the North, people will say they love all races, but will only ever spend time with their own race. In the south, we'll admit we're racist, but will mingle with, offer hospitality to, and befriend anyone.

No, recent polls don't back that straight white men feel the most marginalized in the US. Pew (May 2025) finds majorities say Black (74%), Hispanic (72%), and Asian (66%) people face at least some discrimination—far higher than for whites (under 50% overall, 45% among whites). Only 34% say men face any discrimination vs. 64% for women. AP-NORC (July 2025) shows just 10-15% see significant anti-white bias. Some young men (51% in 2025 surveys) and Republicans note rising perceptions of anti-male bias, often tied to DEI or cultural shifts. But personal discrimination reports remain lower for whites (38%) than Blacks (54%), Hispanics (50%), etc. (KFF 2023). Feelings vary by politics and age, not a clear "most marginalized" group.

the left thing promotes minorities above all else. this eventually shifted into all non-minorities being bad. being straight, white, male, are all the common traits of the majority and what made up america's power structure for generations, so they've been targeted the most. the left wants to open opportunities for minorities, so closes them to majorities. that means straight white men are last in consideration for basically everything. it's like how feminism went from "equal rights would be nice" to "all men are horrible pigs and deserve to die" at some point. not the wrong direction necessarily, just way, way too far.

they don't have to get along. they know how to coordinate. the old left, here at least, set up grass roots movements, put together charities, started worker unions, stuff like that. it was usually genuine and benefited people. they stopped being beneficial at some point, but still remember how to coordinate and organize.
