corporate propaganda

We all swim in the sea of ideas that is our culture. Many people for many reasons seek to make certain ideas the dominant ones.

most communities are much quieter than reddit.

We can change that right now!

I’m doing my part!

Not Necessarily all that well!

Millionaires and billionaires are utterly different cats. Wage earners become millionaires all the time – save, invest wisely, yadda. I know many people in that category.

vast majority of wealthy people

Honest question: how many Billionaires have you had personal interactions with?

I work for a huge corporation and once in a blue moon I’m on an email thread or God help me an actual meeting with the CxOs. Doesn’t mean I know them in any real sense. But I mean… as well as you know bosses 3 levels up if you have to report on projects once in a while.

I am very politically active in my swing state. Some Billionares have been happy to spend a little face time with me. Doesn’t mean I know them at all – plus, these ones are either directly politicians, or supporters of specific politicians. But I know them as well as you might know the guy at the mall kiosk where you had to get your phone fixed like 4 times in 6 months.

In none of these interactions do I feel like I’m dealing with a different species.

I can’t think of any I’d want to take care of my children. About the only common thread is the type-A high-acheiver type. Which is very common in US corporate management culture across the board.

Indeed, the dehumanizing is always associated with collectivism vs individualism, and thence to collective guilt, and collective punishment.

All done with moral self-justification.

Why do some people think dehumanizing anyone is fundamentally OK?

There are actual psychopaths and sociopaths. They are humans. They got that way not from Stan Lee’s pen, but by real experiences in our actual world.

Making them a caricature will in no way help with the problem.

correct, they’re fully interoperable

Get LibreWolf . They take FF builds and rip out the telemetry/ads/AI/enshit.
It’s… beautiful

Most of the games I would do that for are older games from like 25 years ago, and I honestly can’t see playing them today

I’ll take the opposite side of that

I bought an old Radio Shack Color Computer off EBay and had a total blast playing Dungeons of Daggorath with my kids. Plus, it’s educational: it teaches you to type “A L <enter>” really really fast

Mental health pros all say the same thing, no matter what the behavior. The question is: “how is it negatively affecting your life?”

Paraphrasing Robert Heinlein:

Editors are people who like the taste of a drink better after they’ve pissed in it a little

Honestly I wish people treated their emotions like their plumbing.

When something is making wierd noises or seems like it’s going whack or spewing shit on you, you call a pro

Human emotions are way way more complex and fiddly than plumbing. Don’t be stupid and wind up covered in feces. Hire a pro.
