  • Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day

  • You're not reaching critical mass because of protests. You're reaching critical mass because people are communicating and sharing content that highlights what the Trump government is doing. The protests success resr on how effectively the left has shown his corruption and not just shown but marketer the messages enough to convince people to pay attention

  • Sure, we'll see.

    I've said this after every major protest the past ten years. But yes, I'll say it again and again and again.

  • It's not true. Nobody outside of leftist groups or media care about this. It's not out of trying to maintain fear or concern about erosion.

    There's nothing that comes from these protests anymore. We're in a digital world. These analog solutions don't work anymore. You need digital solutions. You need a network and digital presence to spread anything you do like this. But we all removed ourselves from any digital spaces so there's no need for the right to prevent anything. They know this even 24hrs ago. We're all back to work. A lot of people didn't even realize this was going on.

  • You all left social media. What the fuck did you all expect?

    It's so funny you have one of the largest protests in history but it's like you all are starting to realize you forgot a key part of any of this.

  • They blamed Trump

  • Why? Nobody in Curtis will get this message. It'll just remain in our own little leftist pockets. Everybody left any social media sites that this could have been posted to. If any leftists are left in Curtis they'll probably post something like "harharhar you stupid MAGA racist facist idiots. FAFO". There's no healing. No bridges being built.

    So no way the world is healing. It's dying, slowly dying.

  • Going to go the opposite way. Kids are fucking easy. Don't listen to these other people. You're literally built to create them against your better judgement for a reason. "ooooOOOOOoOOOOo I don't know if I'll be a good parent" shhhhhh, throw out the condoms. It'll all work out.

  • I'm starting to just be the person they want us to be because screw them. Like you said I've never seen any comic or media rubbing in the face of people with kids like these people without kids love to cry about. It's watching a guy in the cuck chair cry. You put yourself there, quiet down.

  • Remember when unions and everyone were fighting against automation. What are you shocked at here?

    The North American right and left both have become extreme Luddites over the past decade. What result did we expect? Lots of people said decades ago that we'd be left in the dust.

    AI is the next field that we're doing the same thing on. The general population keeps getting influenced to hobble itself on new innovations and then we're shocked we're getting surpassed as these innovations continue to develop in other countries?

  • You’re misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m not denying that there’s a real reality. I’m saying we don’t have direct access to it. That’s not cognitive dissonance, that’s just basic philosophy. Kant, Husserl, even modern physics all recognize that we only ever experience the world filtered through perception and cognition. There’s the thing itself, and then there’s what our brains can make sense of. That’s not contradictory. It’s literally the human condition.

    Empirical data doesn’t magically escape that filter either. Observation and measurement are still mediated by human perception, interpretation, and context. Science works because we build systems to reduce bias, not because we somehow step outside of subjectivity. It’s intersubjective, not absolute.

    And I never said you have to believe in relativism to understand lying or manipulation. What I am saying is that the right understands the power of framing and narrative, and the left often doesn’t. They treat “truth” as something fixed and self-evident, when in practice it’s always being shaped, reframed, and fought over. That’s not the same as saying “nothing is true.” It’s saying that truth has to be communicated and maintained, not just assumed.

    The moral and ethical part is a separate issue. You can still have values, compassion, and principles while acknowledging that your version of truth is a construct. Empathy doesn’t require metaphysical certainty. It just requires agreeing that suffering matters.

    And as for the right thriving on chaos, sure, but that doesn’t mean the left can’t learn from how they weaponize language and perception. Understanding those methods doesn’t make you immoral. It makes you strategic. There’s a difference between manipulation and persuasion. The right bends narratives to serve their goals; the left tends to just call them out, assuming reason will win on its own. It doesn’t.

    So yeah, the point isn’t to become dishonest. It’s to stop being naïve about how people actually process information and form beliefs. Reality might be objective, but politics runs on perception.

  • I'm saying that there are two types of truths. One is what is reality but that we are forced to view it through our sense and mind and consciousness which can never actually grasp the real reality. That filter is what makes it a subjective truth. This is to my point that the right understand this and succeeded in a lot of areas the left don't because of this. The left are very rigid and seen to fall on their own truth. I see it in arguments and online. They don't mold things or play around with events the same way the right does. I think they don't because of their relationship to what they see as true or not.

    The way the right have reframed arguments about trans, racism, Jeffery Epstein, immigration, government needs to be better understood by the right. Not just called out but instead adapted.

  • And how do you know that other observer is not a p zombie or part of the hallucination.

    All this to say that there is even though we want to deal with Truths it isn't something we can deal with. We can only deal with our truths which is subjective, not objective. Bringing this all back. It's what the right are amazing at. They work and put in effort to craft their truth and make others aware of it. The left fail because they believe their truth is going to spread on its own merits.

  • No my point is that truth no matter what will always be something that can be twisted. There is no hard truth but leftist act like there is. The right don't bother. They know what they want and use it to twist that left into knots. Need to play that game back. Need to reject these morals and ethics that are used like excuses.

  • But you're still back to the problem of knowing if they exist or are just p-zombies

  • But that doesn't prove that those really exist. I can dream/Imagine/hallucinate/simulate that those things exist and that they work together. It's like trying to nail down the question of who you are. Are you some observer inside your brain or are you something more holistic. There are absolutely things in my body I don't control. It acts on its own. I observe and at times act against my own desires, needs and wants fairly often. So who am I if I don't have full control of me.

    All this to say while we argue this, this Republicans innately understand the truth is not something that is easily understood. They expertly have used it to create the current world while people on the left scratch their balls wondering what's wrong with the world. What's wrong is that the left have not adapted in 60 years. They've actually devolved. They are miserable and toxic. They reject any advances in technology. There actively alternate themselves from tools and resource and social groups who do not meet their ever changing and growing demands for moral and ethical superiority. The left have fallen behind and they use excuses about ethics and morality as the reason they're failing instead of taking ownership for being a regressive group with almost nothing to offer anyone in today's world.

  • Right which is my point. But why does the left fall on their own sword. They have all the ability. If we truly believe the left have more people, that Gerry mandering is needed because most people lean left. Then it should be a no brainer than the left needs to activate a fire under each other to overwhelm spaces. But we do the opposite. We retreat. The only conclusions I can think of when I read between the lines is that we were targeted by right wing astro turfing as much as the right was. Or we're just not smart people as a whole and it's actually maybe a good thing we're being backed into our corners
