  They’ve been doing it since reconstruction. I read the opinion once that labor never got true power in America because they kept excluding blacks for a long time. I think about that a lot. Hating a black guy was more important to many labor movements than class solidarity.

  Every major gov shutdown I remember was the Republicans being bastards to force something they wanted or to make Democrats look bad. 20 years. The entire time I’ve paid attention. It’s always been Republicans. This is a legitimate reason for once for democrats to do it. To fight this dismantling of government. They won’t. They’re useless. They want this. May anyone who tell me to vote have their nose broken. I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18. Even locals. There isn’t a systemic fix to this. No one is going to save you. Stop looking to your government leaders and start forming extra governmental solutions.

  He’s not worth more than 3 words from me. Thank you for standing up for truth. I know it’s a loosing battle on the internet.

  No. It doesn’t.

  My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told ‘You can’t watch this unless you log in.’

  I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn’t need to confirm I wasn’t a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.

  I believe in non-linear reincarnation. I hope I come back sometime before technology. Maybe even not ad a human. I need a break cycle.

  For better or worse, content moderation was almost nonexistent. Of those 100s of forums and websites you could see just about anything. The degenerate and shock culture thrived as much as all the other random stuff. People can still find terrible things out there today but now there’s real effort to police and control the platforms. The big players don’t let the REAL terrible stuff on their systems. Rotten.com is always what I reference there. There used to be porn, TV shows, and movie, on YouTube. Copy right was a suggestion and free use was everywhere for homemade music videos and downloads. There was also less effort to protect children. There are still issues today but widely the internet is at least devided into more age appropriate spaces. Those spaces get invaded but it’s not nearly how it was. In the 90s or early 00s you were either assumed to be an adult or just as a kid tossed in with the general population. There was generally no avoidance if you were a minor like today.

  That’s not to say the protections that exist today are perfect. It is more so that they exist at all and at least for appearances effort is made.

  It kind of had a flea market / bazaar vibe. It really was that old west feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Mass theft’: Thousands of artists call for AI art auction to be cancelled⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My understanding of AI art models is shakey at best but I think I remember that it basically uses the images to create a static (Litteral static like old school TV screen snow kinda) static model based on the image. Then it extrapolate based on 1000s of such static sudo images to create the original work. On a small scale I don’t think of it as theft. It’s not unlike a person using their past knowledge of image concepts to create a new image. Everyone hates AI though.
