Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe.
It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children. It is a test of whether civil liberties organization could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women.
It is a test that most of the Western world is failing.
@memeticsisyphus I had one tell me that deep down she understands that what she did was wrong, but since she already did it she has to double down and politically support it for the rest of her life. Amazing psychology at work there.
@NunoFaroNF@SSKvlt I once met a 30-ish woman in an elevator who was clearly beautiful but whose skin was so leathery from years spent tanning that she looked like a once hot version of the creature behind the diner in Mulholland Drive.
It's an odd meme, but it's less odd when you realize 30% of Gen Z was aborted and the rest of them have mental health disorders from being raised by murderous psychopaths.
@GraduatedBen I watched myself age into an old man and experienced what felt like death. Not a good time. While I didn't interact with anything directly, I did start receiving visits from sleep paralysis entities shortly after.
@ChristianHeiens I like Lindsay for the most part, but he has a tendency to get fixated on whatever tiny datapoint he can find to connect one normal thing to the scary esoteric thing he's currently obsessed with.
As an idiot vibe coder, Claude Fable has really helped me realize how important it is that I understand my codebase enough to spot problems LLMs produce. It has identified multiple critical bugs that smaller models introduced months ago and which I lacked the skills to recognize.
@Sargon_of_Akkad@RNCResearch Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be smug, they will be cringe, they will sit on the wrong side of your beautiful oak desk
people love saying "history will not judge us kindly" as if history books aren't just like "Genghis Khan epicly killed 40 million people. what an absolute legend"
