Hmmmm yeah! Yeah, agreed

And also, Even the fascists that allegedly aren’t pedophiles or other forms of rapist are all, every single one of them, enablers of rape in general and pedophilia specifically.

it’s not a generational issue, but a marketing issue. It’s not “ad-friendly”. It’s also a fascism thing. Performative moralizing and pearl clutching that rightoids use to smokescreen their pedophilia and their other favorite forms of rape. If they can construct an image of being hallowed crusaders of family values, it makes predation easier. because, you know, camouflage. It doesn’t even have to work or be convincing for everyone; all they have to do is hijack the ideologically-possessed simps who line up to suck the same fuhrer’s cock and the flock will immediately surround the wolf to defend them from any scary accusations, and even shield them from accountability when they ARE caught.

From the olden times in the era before the plague (COVID) there were tales of stray dogs who had learned to utilize public transit infrastructure to move throughout a city. I believe the city in question was said to be Moscow? My memory is fuzzy, what with 2020 through 2024 being the longest continuous year I’ve ever experienced in my life (so FAR…).

It’s crazy how 2016 feels like “a couple years ago” right now even though, concurrently, 2019 feels like “a couple decades ago” ._. maybe the doctor was right; Maybe time really is made of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

I miss when AI as we presently know it was not yet a thing…

It is a sarcastic observation of the shallow and reductive take that “nineteen eighty four is when the government does something i don’t like!”.

I find it less likely that anyone who uses lemmy would sincerely think it is actually good that people become parasocially addicted to a hallucination box that has been finely tuned to lie to them as convincingly as possible.

However, I admit this inference is doing a lot of gravy lifting; this is, after all, why Poe’s Law exists. There are so very many excessively dim, narrow-minded, and ignorant people who WOULD indeed unironically cry “1984!!” whenever any government does anything that such a person being right here, right now, is always a statistically significant possibility that cannot be dismissed out of hand without risk.

I am giving the person to whom you are replying a generous benefit of a doubt, to be fair…
