If only there was a way to show the whole world in one simple example how Enshitification works.

Google execs: Hold my beer!

Many ways to detect this, but let’s start with the basics: Are you using the same Ip address?

Wow, a genuine terrorsim supporter. would you look at that.

Using Gish gallop makes people look at you with wary eyes and ignore whatever you have to say, as the only people using this technique are zaelots without facts.

You are intelligent enough to know what logical fallacies are in principle, and you can work on actually spotting them, and presumably at the core of you there’s a right thinking person somewhere. Do yourself a favour and step back a moment and think about the company you are keeping ideologically. And what hill you are deciding to fight on.

It does not. We are not animals.

The state does not care whether they are innocent as well, and that callousness is just as bad from the eyes of people living in a civilized society…

Neither does his platform…

Yes. We knew back then. This is all no surprise to anyone. But now what, there seems to be no consequences to anything the guy did or does. Short of divine intervention and a pop of his clogged heart he’ll be president again in the US’s last free elections for probably at least a generation.

Insightful!

Are you for real? The creators have been dead for decades. Apart from the discussion of who was actually creatively responsible for Disney’s as significant characters. Copyright was invented to protect them, not to be a gravy train for their useless descendants or the faceless companies owning the right for some (often murky) reason.

Kiss. Pretending to be a real band and becoming more of a joke every year after year since the 70s. Still, an impressive new low for them.

youtube’s loaded with EV disinformation…

In other news, sky’s still blue.

Yes, I know. But I was not making the point the PVV are not promlematic. Read what I wrote.

My point was that the media is portraying his voters as rabit right-wing bigots, and that is simply not true. dangeourly he managed to appeal to the centre, and people that look for housing, healthcare and spending power without too much interest in his extreme rhetoric.

Listen, I would be the first to point fingers. And I did in case of the FvD. And yes, Wilders is inherently untustworthy and undemocratic.

But the people voting for him en masse do not vote for him for that. I did not make the point that the PVV is not a dangerous party, but the media is portraying his voters as rabid racists, and that is (sadly) untrue, he managed to grab the interest of the lower middleclass and elderly, incuding second and third generation immigrants. They are concerned with housing, healthcare and spending power.

But that’s hardly the point.

Look, I am not saying Wilders is not a creep. But their success right now is despite him and his anti-constitutional viewpoints. There was room for a big populist party with mass appeal and they fill that void. And the media is misrepresenting his voters. I am not one of them, and would never be, but I do know quite a few of people that switched to PVV and they did so because they felt he would work to get the lower middle class and elderly a better standard of living, something all other parties seem to fail to deliver on.

Intoletance has originally always been a right wing mainstay and that is why the PVV are lumped in with that. But if you look at their program, apart from the anti-islam rhetoric, they want affordable care and lower the pension age. Clear centrist/left-wing viewpoints. And this is overlooked by the oversimplifying media. Yes, PVV are riding on the wave of anti immigration sentiment. But they reached this level of support by not being fascists like the FvD for example. The old left/right wing nomenclature is not sufficient to describe the ways parties amd society change.

On any case, the foreign media is tarring the PVV voters with the brush of racist extremists, and the reality is much, much more nuanced.

Well, to be fair, slandering the Danish in good fun is quite the established practice.

I agree pulling Musk into it goes too far.
