    The plan of democrats:

    “Try to win the good billionares”

    “throw trans people under the bus”

    “shift further to the right”

    “Focus on trumps moral character failings, don’t let policy distract you”

    "Make sure to keep the progressives quiet, we can’t have the AOCs getting the jobs of life long do nothing democrats.




  • In short zelensky didn’t jump up and down at taking a deal so insanely over the top bad that literally would have been harsher than punishments they normally put on aggressors that lost in wars. (IE if I recall it was deemed even harsher than what was put on germany after WW1, which as we know is what set up germany’s economic strife that brought ww2.

    Secondly their own admission… Zelensky said he needed parlimentary approval to accept the deal. AKA this guy who’s being accused of being a dictator by trumps whitehouse… wasn’t going to decide he had the authority to sign a “Ukraine gives half of what we have to the US forever” in exchange the US that is currently lead by a guy who, has a long history of not keeping his half of bargains, will promise to protect them.



  • I mean isn’t that at least some extent technically true to a level.

    I mean if we weren’t talking a shitty corporation to begin with. If this were say, a 20 year old mcdonnalds worker pirating game of thrones.

    IMO the bigger concept is still rather than if they got it… defining whether using that data after the fact is legal. I mean hypothetically speaking lets just say they bought 1 copy of each of the millions of books, or bought used copies, or say had a machine that could scan every book in a library. IMO the issue shouldn’t be whether or not anyone managed to download the books in their pure form afterwards. The focus should be the AI trained on their books, is going to be distributing portions of their book to millions of people, and any potential profits of such will be going to meta and uncredited to the original authors. The idea that meta’s involvement in torrenting may have let little timmy get a copy of his text book 15 seconds faster… shouldn’t be the driving force here.

    Honestly I don’t know, they are both pretty equally scary. Both have more or less the same goals… but project 2025 was basically figuring out how to use the rules to establish everything. Fact is… a lot of what project 2025 was proposing would take a year or more, is happening in a couple days when musks crooks just show up… and shut shit down.


  • I’m sure some are… but I would say certainly seems to be a much larger percentage that prioritize their hatred of trans… and don’t seem to do a lot of actual reach in protecting women.

    Big thing is the terf label or stereotype is generally assumed to try to make it look like you are fighting for a group, rather than fighting against. Lets say hypothetically I’m claiming to be super in favor of protecting birds, and say that I hate wind farms because they kill birds

    If you never once hear me talk about house cats, or poachers, or any of 500 other things that can kill birds, you’ll pretty quickly catch on that I’m not actually pro-bird. Especially if I start reposting statistics about wind farms that have already been debunked etc…


  • Polygraphs terrify me, I’ve never had to do one, but I know I’m always holding in huge waves of anxiety and paranoia. Which you know is all lie detector tests do, is read signs of nervousness. Hence they have a high false positive amoung people who are anxious and are completely unable to detect anything on psychopaths and people with strong emotional control (as well as those who have learned tricks to game the system… (IE methods to make symptoms show stronger on the baseline questions so that you can lessen them on questions you are lying during).
