Why is this comment on every post where the post should be more popular.

But I guess this guy is right, fuck writing stories about Luigi. What else is going on. This stuff is old news

Most of the top feed I see is against AI

I'm with you on the "they're not Nazi thing"

I think Lemmy is being a space for targeted radicalization for certain groups.

But still I think you're wrong that we can separate technology from this political stuff right now. It's not separate. Technology is the medium that groups are using to spread this stuff. It's important and interesting to see how they're doing it.

Content should focus on the tech side of it. And also why be angry at the side that's just trying to protect their freedoms here. If it wasn't for the people trying to limit their freedoms, we'd never hear of this stuff.

The issue isn't people trying to identify as another gender. It's the people saying no they can't and then abusing their power and influence to do it.

No fuck yes. Blame them.

Are you saying that trump won because his policy and campaign was stellar.

Trump won because his base acted instead of passively watching. They took over everything and all the left could say was "don't roll with them something something pigs"

Oh we're the idiots. Never saw that coming

Sure but I'm also all for innovating and watching these things fail. Isn't there a value in letting dumb rich people with money waste their wealth on dumb ideas. It keeps them from doing things like buying Twitter

Actually, I really appreciate you putting that together. Yes, it captures a big part of what I’ve been trying to say.

Maybe it is bad faith, but I also think that speaking directly, especially online, is genuinely hard. Still, one of my biggest frustrations is how difficult it is to spread and sustain important ideas and perspectives.

What really gets me is seeing people pour so much energy into a single protest driving for hours, standing in the rain, even getting arrested but then showing almost no interest in doing something like consistently sharing content online, which is easier and arguably more effective in the long run. That disconnect baffles me. Like posting and commenting on an issue for 24 hrs isn't enough

And on top of that, there’s a real failure to support strong figureheads or voices who are actually good at communicating the message. These people burn out or get drowned out because there’s no consistent effort to lift them up. It’s like the momentum gets lost the moment the event ends, and without that sustained effort, we just end up watching things fall apart from the sidelines.
