Our democracy and social infrastructures—the patronage that our forebears fought and died for—are not distressed assets that can be bought on the cheap and run into the ground for the profit of a few private equity managers.

@timhwang @zackmdavis @lesswrong I'm too poor. I can only afford Nermal Tier.

@tszzl Sorry, but I won't take my epistemology in the form of Harry Potter fanfic. I'm an adult.

@scorehopeful @Chace_AGI Maybe they didn't imagine spending their lives making CSAM.

On Oct 7, 2016, an emergency meeting was set by infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with Palantir founder Peter Thiel, and Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin.

Later that day, the Access Hollywood tape came out, followed by Russian-hacked emails being released on Wikileaks, which were systematically painted by alt-right online trolls paid by Thiel’s PAC MAGA3X to mean that Hillary Clinton was involved in child sex trafficking.

Mike Flynn and Erik Prince both worked to amplify these false, traumatic narratives about Podesta and a cabal of Satanic pedophiles run by Hillary. This was done significantly through Breitbart, which was run by Epstein close friend Steve Bannon, and funded by Rebekah Mercer.

Additional firepower for these psychological operations was provided by Wagner chief Yvgeny Prigozhin’s Internet Research Agency—later charged by Robert Mueller. Up to 600 Russians were dedicated to the 2016 election on Twitter and Facebook.

The smearing of Hillary Clinton, which mirrored Epstein and Trump’s own documented child rape, was later branded as Pizzagate—and extended by QAnon. It was all systematic, large-scale projection designed to swing a presidential election through psychological warfare.

Thiel was the only major donor who supported Trump in the wake of Trump’s comments about grabbing women by the genitals on video.

Palantir had previously been caught planning to run a covert influence operation on Wikileaks.

A month after Trump’s inauguration, Vitaly Churkin suddenly died.

We were looking for “Russian collusion” in the wrong place.

@AmjedYacu Fuck around, finger off, fascist

@golphinphool @SwannMarcus89 Show me a single claim that Shirley made which is backed up by an independent source. Shouldn't be that hard, right?

[Jacob Metcalf 🐀 @undersequoias]

@HarrietEssex27 @youwouldntpost @tortoise Yes, I know. That's the joke.

[Jacob Metcalf 🐀 @undersequoias]

@golphinphool @SwannMarcus89 Nick Shirley didn't prove any fraud whatsoever.

Show me a single claim of fraud he made that was supported by a bird party. I'll wait.

He's a fucking innumerate submoron who does even understand some daycares operate at night.

@me_and52342 @SwannMarcus89 Oooh you have some big boy feelings. Does that make you feel special thinking about those jack boots? You gonna go help out those state forces by polishing those boots with your tongue?

[Jacob Metcalf 🐀 @undersequoias]

@Brad_Reynoldss @SwannMarcus89 I'm happy to call you an idiot for not understanding context.

"The fraud" does not mean "all things that medically stupid halfwit homeschooler said."

Frey's own aid went to jail. Yeah, there was fraud, what does that have to do with ICE? Trump has been convicted of fraud!

@Phocion @SwannMarcus89 Bro he's never heard or seen the word "benevolent"

@rophov @JoePostingg That is not at all what that term means, jfc

Scott Alexander on AI agents emergent behaviour on Moltbook:

“Reddit is one of the prime sources for AI training data. So AIs ought to be unusually good at simulating Redditors, compared to other tasks. Put them in a Reddit-like environment and let them cook, and they can retrace the contours of Redditness near-perfectly…”

@theliamnissan This is one of those "no one called it, but it is so profoundly obvious" situations.

"Elon Was Too Cringe for Pedo Island Night" is almost -- not quite -- as good as "Trump Has COVID Night".

The fact that it is happening on his own platform is 🤌

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
