    Experts warn of threat to democracy by ‘AI bot swarms’ infesting social media

  • Wow! So innovative! Fancy sharing with the rest of the thread?

    Now that you've done the easy part, how are you going to spread this to the masses, to flood the zone? Against the machine of capitalism and pro-capitalist states. How are you going to get others to share your content?

    How are you going to ensure your content spreads the message you intend it to, and isn't misinterpreted? How do you ensure your simplified versions of complex subjects aren't reappropriated by those you oppose? For example, I know people who became interested in anarchism, and ended up astray down the path of oxymoronic anarcho-capitalism despite their original good intentions.

    This isn't an easy endeavour as you alluded. If it were, then we wouldn't be in the position that we are.

  • Never believe that anti‐ Semites fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites fascists have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

  • It's not so difficult.

    I look forward to your campaign of changing hearts and minds, and turning the tide on the rise of global fascism then.

    Blair's 'frenzied law making' : a new offence for every day spent in office

    Tony Blair's government has created more than 3,000 new criminal offences during its nine-year tenure, one for almost every day it has been in power.

    ...

    In total, the Government has brought in 3,023 offences since May 1997. They comprise 1,169 introduced by primary legislation - debated in Parliament - and 1,854 by secondary legislation such as statutory instruments and orders in council.

    ...

    Householders who fail to nominate a neighbour to turn off their alarm while they are away from home can be breaking the law. And it is an offence for a ship's captain to be carrying grain unless he has a copy of the International Grain Code on board.

    ...

    Terry Grange, Chief Constable of Dyfed-Powys, has accused the past two home secretaries, Charles Clarke and John Reid, of making policies "on the hoof" in response to media pressure over serious crime problems, foreign offenders and the immigration service.

    ...

    Each addition swells the enormous number of offences already on the statute book, some dating back to medieval times. Even the Attorney General's office said it had no idea how many existed. A spokeswoman said: "There are thousands and thousands."

    ...

    The Association of Chief Police Officers disclosed yesterday that it was considering asking ministers for powers of instant justice, including the authority to exclude unruly youngsters from town centres and to break up teenage gangs.

    ...

    Shami Chakrabarti, the director of human rights group Liberty, said the figures demonstrated that politicians were becoming "addicted to law making". She said: "The next time the cry goes up to legislate our way out of a crisis, a deep breath from the Home Office might just be more inspiring than further statutory graffiti."

    Enver Solomon, deputy director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies at King's College London, said: "It has become a New Labour trademark to criminalise a range of social harms which would be more effectively dealt with away from the clutches of the criminal justice agencies."

    In many countries, given enough time, everyone will break a law. Then it's just a matter of pinning one on you, if the powers that be so desire.

  • The economy as we know it means human suffering and destruction already, because it's based upon reputation, lies, exploitation, and bets. Economic collapse and economic collapse are two different things.

    The movement of goods and services is unlikely to suddenly stop. Reduce? Sure. Stop? No. The world is preparing and making agreements without US involvement to allow movement to continue. I mean, capitalism is already predicated on boom and bust, economic collapse is already built into the system.

    Economic crisis can always be measured in terms of statistical indices. But more important still, people in their day-to-day lives, will know what it means to be living in a state of economic crisis

    What the numbers say and the reality of life are two very different things. Care about the reality of life, not how the fucking DOW Jones is doing. Fuck the economy, humans are what matter. The economy is largely a charade.

    Anyway, America became a superpower because it was a manufacturing powerhouse with the world's biggest stick. Now it only has the stick and other countries are making their own big sticks. The world will be fine, economically, without America. And America's economy, is a lie, the working person is unlikely to be worrying about the NYSE or DOW Jones when the Gestapo and SA are prowling the streets.

    America is building concentration camps, murdering citizens on the street, threatening global war, and the worry is the economy? Fuck that. The economy will adapt and survive. Worry about the human suffering.

  • Lemmy would be a better place if we didn't publicise every thing this fascist says. Any publicity is good publicity!

    We should be focusing our attention on the people we support, not the fascists trying to grab our attention by any means necessary.

    "Flood the zone" is a political strategy in which a political figure aims to gain media attention, disorient opponents and distract the public from undesirable reports by rapidly forwarding large volumes of newsworthy information to the media.[1][2][3][4]

  • Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.
