The issue is that radicalization occurs because the other side, conservatives, are mocking and threatening the completely valid and basic human dignity of those affected minorities. Conservatives will use "concern" like yours to invalidate the whole movement, identity and rights of those individuals. They will use empirical data to justify their discriminiation, attitudes of dismissal and so forth. This is why there is a tendency to fight around the empirical data and to not give an inch to conservatives. If you admit there is a problem, the conservatives will use that to completely destroy all valid things that come with that movement, because fundamentally conservaties function through normalcy. They want to maintain the status quo, and they are fundamentally fearful of cultural changes. They are blind to the fact that culture has and will always changed, significantly. You are falling into this same trap when you make up horror stories about how civilization might collapse if we challenge gender norms or our ideas around reproduction. You are turning a trivial issue, that will have problems that will correct themselves if humans simply relate consciously to it, and turning it into a fear based existential problem. Turning something into an existential problem in the end will do nothing but fuel irrational conservative fears and further radicalize the left. Remember, the demographic collapse is occuring in every country on this planet, it has nothing to do with radical progressive culture around reproductive acts. These kinds of fear based narratives are doubly dangerous because they make us unable to recognize the actual real root cause problems and dynamics that we need for them to be solved. So ironically, on a systemic level, it is your attitude that leads to a fundamental threat to human civilization that is a recipe for disaster. This is what the conservative mind is, you have to realize that this framework of mind is in no way less dangerous than the radical progressive mindset. It just appears to be less dangerous on the surface, especially if you in particular benefit from the status quo. Those who do not benefit from the status quo will have no reason to accept your values. Which is why radical progressives often times reject the status quo completely, and might throw the baby out with the bathwater.

This is because most people didn't adopt these things because they progressed as human beings, but simply because they sought to fit into their social group. This is the danger of stage green shaming tactics. If human progresses is based on fear rather than transcendence of old values through recognition of their limitations, then you only get a fascade of progress. This is why there have been so many "ex-progressive" during Trump era times, like Dave Rubin and his ilk. Green was tryng to force progress too much while being far too dysfunctional itself. I have been talking about this for years now. Most of this dysfunction was fueled by social media.

The irony is that most of science actually is that which was falsified. By falsifying things, we get closer to the truth.

The fundamental problem is that nobody has time to educate all of these people. It's impossible, low quality information is far easier to produce than what it takes to dismantle it.

Calling you guys neanderthals is an insult to neanderthals, as Spiritual correctly pointed out.

The guy sounds like an absolute neanderthal.

I don't know what morality has anything to do with this. You're a child.

You should see the doctor and get checked for brainrot.

If you think this was the message of Kojima, you should probably play the game again lol. He was saying the exact opposite.

I don't know what's worse. The fact that Trump is trying to dismantle US democracy, or the fact that he got the chance to do it twice now. Your country is absolutely fucked.

You realize this is a move that could destroy the US democracy? You guys are taking your institutions for granted. They are not solid, they never have been, there is no such thing. They can be weakened and eroded like any other thing in the universe.

That's very true. Also: Only barbarians find a barbarian charming.

He is an ideologue, he wants to create the first actual super-AI, he thinks we have to integrate with the AI so that it doesnt destroy us, and he wants to actually go to Mars. This is what makes him so dangerous, he is precisely not just after money. He wants power to achieve his ideological, austistic ends.

The more clear headed I am, the more it seems like life is just a grand delusion, a distraction of the inevitable impermanence of ones own existence. This has been on my mind recently. Everything is impermanent, it is clear to me now. But this creates a deep, existential lack of motivation for life itself. I don't care to pursue anything at this point. The whole game of life seems silly, redundant. Everyone is getting hot and bothered about this and about that, but the fate of us all is the same no matter what we do in life, no matter what kind of political structure you will create, no matter how much well being or how much suffering you will experience, in the end there is the one that makes us all equal, that turns our lives, experiences, memories and all our meaning into dust. Everything that will be gained will be lost, every joy and every pain is fleeting. I have no interest in romantic pursuits, career pursuits, life pursuits. I have no real desire for pleasure even, it seems fundamentally hollow. Life seems absurd to me. This is a novel experience to me, but it seems to be truthful. It is as if a deep delusion, a coping mechanism had been lifted. Nothing matters.

JD Vance threatened to abandon US NATO support in response to EU wanting to regulate the platform because of disinformation, botting and the false checkmarks. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jd-vance-elon-musk-x-twitter-donald-trump-b2614525.html?source=pmbug.com This is literally oligarchy behavior. They are literal traitors to the US, and Elon Musk is actually what conspiracy theorists always imagined Jeff Bezos to be.

He is a transphobic narcissist who literally bullied his own daughter, and you are celebrating him. Unreal.

No they are not. If you talk to these people, they will morally shame and appeal to authority as much as any other person, they just apply it differently.

I don't see how this is anything but fearmongering. Is this happening anywhere? Why are the republicans not appealling to immigrant voters then? These are incredibly conservative individuals. In the end you can argue importing immigrants will lead to the country shifting more conservative in the long run, given that these individuals often skew conservative when they come from certain regions.

The twitter files did not really expose this, the claims are highly exaggerated. Anything that happened there pales in comparison to what Elon is doing with twitter now, all in the open for everyone to see. Here is Destiny debating the journalists responsible for the mess:

In general I think Destiny is more in tune with the deeper problems that we are facing as a society, in relation to epistemic breakdown and so forth. I don't agree with his proposed solutions, though I think he is correctly identifying the problems. I haven't paid much attention the difference between Pisco and Destiny, although I am more pessimistic about the average human being, so I would most likely align with Destiny more than Pisco.

Ah yes, and the owner of the most significant speech platform in the world changing algorithms in his own favor and then running a campaign for Donald Trump did play no role in the election. Just imagine Zuckerberg doing the same on Facebook or Instagram. The fact that this is not even noticed by the side that talks about evil billionaires and the deep state constantly is telling.

You just have to look at how popular the video is, and how popular Joe Rogan is in general. He is a misinformation factory, he can be lucky that he is getting any views. His visibility on the platform should reduce every time he lies and brings on guests that lie.

Even if this was true, look at the alternative: Elon bought twitter and changed the algorithms such that his tweets will be the most viewed on the platform. He then proceeded to use his voice to rally for Trump, while demonetizing people like Destiny on the platform. Like how can you complain about the Rogan podcast and not about that?

The video was absolutely available on youtube, I checked it myself. It was a completely baseless lie, lol. It wasn't Trump voters who made the difference in this election, he got as many as he did last time. What made the difference here is that many democratic voters didn't go to vote.
