  • "i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"

  • They all lulled us with meme culture. Instead what we needed was to create anti ads. Any time our podcast or content creators began showing ads, then we should have first been super pissed off. Pissed Off because these people ruined television. We were in a time when companies were creating patents were you had to shout the brand name at your TV to turn off the commercial. The internet was content creation without those capitalist fucks. Second we should have made an effort to create as hostile and environment to them as possible. Sorry to the little guy, but go to cable access.

    For every ad that sucked our free time, we could have produced at least 2 anti ads. Like when a podcast advertised for zockdoc or whatever, we all needed to leave comments like "pretty sure they told my aunt she had cancer even though it was just a cough" or if it's some drop shipper on reddit acting like they just found this cool temu star lamp then every comment should have been about how these lights burst into flames and killed your entire family.

    We need to make the internet as hostile as possible to advertisers. They are the reason we are tracked and why have enshittification. They built the systems to track our profiles and market to us all under the guise of selling ads to random content creators. Why is pewdiepie and Jack Paul and Joe Rogan millionaires now meddling in our politics. Because we didn't defend this new frontier. We knew they'd create data scarcity, we knew we had to stop it, but they rat fucked us with cat videos and memes.

  • I honestly just think you're wrong. I can see the point you'd like to make. I can give you the benefit of the doubt that social media as it is isn't great. But I also think you're wrong

  • I have read them. Cigarettes give you cancer and is not a hard drug. But it wasn't my argument. I would think if they're arguing it so blatantly they would have even a basic summary of why.

    This is patriot act levels of invasion. I need some damn answers why we're doing this all again

  • I don't see how what we're saying is different?

    They're going to tie people to their online activities as well as offline. If anyone shows up to a protest, they'll be able to take photos and search for every account you are associated with. Think about the smear they could create with Alex if they had this fully operational now.

  • That's how they want to verify underage kids. You need to upload photo proof of your ID. I don't think it's a coincidence that agencies like ICE are also taking everyone's pictures to upload to Palantir database.

  • Stop. I'm not fucking playing this stupid game. I'm well aware of data brokers and selling our data. This is clearly different uploading pictures of yourself with id as a requirement to access websites.

  • Exactly. I don't think it's a surprise this all aligns with companies like palantir collecting people's images into their database. I have a feeling on the backend these identities will all be used to track people online. Photos of faces and their identities is about to become a hot commodity.

  • It's not as bad as drugs. Don't give your kids phones. Be a parent. Don't need to upload all our data and Id to palantir databases for tracking under the same old "protect the children" bullshit

  • I bet this is related to Palantir facial recognition. Seems like identifying people and feeding it into some database is very important lately.

  • I'm with you, I just think on top of those we also need to focus on where people are. Facebook does the heavy lifting now. They show you the most popular right wing groups now. It's easy to post to them

  • no they don't. That is what they tell their people. Israel is a foot hold into the Arab countries. Any military needs to be able to deploy rapidly. First to the battle has strategic advantage and smaller less powerful armies have destroyed larger ones just with that advantage. Israel lets America control that area and gives intelligence that it wouldn't have otherwise. Without Israel, they lose a major strategic advantage to controlling the Arab world. The Big J side is all woo woo. Not even sure I've seen anyone really say that. Almost all of America's moves are to control territory that gives their military the ability to deploy rapidly and to control territory.

  • I think it's a bold strategy to leave the bigger more populated and used platforms to constantly exist on the smaller less relevant ones that never grow and offer everything the major platforms do just worse.

    Shall we take Stalingrad? nonono it's full of nazi's, lets focus on Dieppe

  • That doesn't make any sense. We all left these platforms. Like an exodus. How would that make it harder for these nazi's to take over these platforms?
