See this response shows liberal thought processes perfectly. The leftist says “there are systemic things bigger than us at work” and the liberal responds “you are personally hateful”

Yeah, re: “desperate to be them”, the meat thing in particular: it’s OK to conservatives if you don’t eat meat because you can’t afford or find it. As long as you are *aspiring to make their choice* they’re okay with the state of things. They actively make things worse so they can be on top

The uniting theme of the post-Me Too elite consensus seems to be that the elite can never be held to account for their beliefs or their actions, all the way up to forcing people to buy from them or listen to their material so that they never suffer consequences in any form, ever

I was roundly mocked by some AI bros the other day for worrying that even if all their promises come true, when people use AI to generate, say, perspective techniques, eventually the number of people who know them and can develop new innovative techniques shrinks to zero

NFTs are a great example, because it was the same discourse in miniature! Artists and consumers roundly condemned it while tech hype bros tried to paint it as inevitable/ fundamental. The “middle path” would have been some application outside crypto but we just haven’t seen that. Haters were right!

I’m sorry but it makes me so sad to see Terra, Locke, and Edgar this way

I‘m glad they pre-empted that objection! It feels like the play every Westerner makes as soon as they hear “things are measurably better elsewhere” is to say “but you know we can never trust The Other”

I would argue the term itself is becoming an in-group signal itself! Certainly to accuse someone of “merely virtue signaling” you would at least need evidence that they live in a context that rewards the signal and also evidence that the speaker is insincere. None of these guys have that evidence

I see you’re trying to judge the moral weight of ending Clippy’s life when compared against the moral weight of complicity in its continued existence. Would you like some help?

Ironically I’ve seen a bunch of adult Catholic converts choose to side against the regime lately. Not…as many as I’d hoped but certainly more than I’d feared

It’s cool I get to tell both of you how much I‘ve enjoyed your games.

Ive noticed that a lot of the stuff the big accounts talk about in terms of Bluesky etiquette often amounts to “let me be a Personal Brand without having to deal with lowbies“ and that always struck me as misunderstanding what their supposed audience is even here for
