They didn’t realize the problem with the holocaust was the genocide bit, instead of the Jewish part. That’s the only explanation for this behavior: they keep talking about their mistake, but obviously learned the wrong lesson.

Does anybody claim it isn’t? Wtf?

Hate and outrage has shown to be most engaging emotions. All recommendation algorithms will gravitate towards it.

Agreed, but this gets me worried about it being handheld or not. The current design is perfect for me.

Haven’t seen any prominent lib even use violent rhethoric in connection with pointing out Trump’s dangerous plans for his second term, so I was surprised you bring up stochastic terrorism. The fact that Democrats are running a horrible candidate against him just shows that they don’t take this seriously at all. Maybe that’s what you tried to say in your first message.

I agree that democratic processes have little to do with US politics these days, but are you suggesting you can promote democratic values with anything outside living them (not that US politician do that, but in principle).

And it shouldn’t matter where I’m from. The disaster that is the US empires fall is of global interest.

Democracy needs to be saved through democratic processes, not a lawless assassination attempt, otherwise it would be disingenious to want to protect it and its values.

He is already, but he learned not to speak his mind on that.

Bush dodged better.

Yeah, it’s the use case. Qualcomm had smartphones in the 80s, General Magic had the smartphone in the 90s, but it took more than another decade to actually combine phone and browser into the right form factor and fast enough mobile connection and a world wide web to make it work.

For AR there were moments too. Niantic with global positioning, 5G with fast mobile internet, but that was not enough.

Input method isn’t clear yet (Apple may have solved it with gaze-pinch), form factor not consumer market ready. Actual use case that is worth the price point? Nah

They may learn to gaslight about it.

We need to talk about Kevin

Aren’t we blaming the enablers?

You don’t even know the difference between a republic and a democracy. Why do you think you know anything better?

The US has a constitution that is bad (slavery is legal). That’s also why it was amended many times. Via a democratic process by the way.

Other democraties also have constitutions which they amend and revise regularly to expand rights and guide legislation.

I guess if we can’t deradicalize our own extremists, why do we expect we can deradicalize the immigrants that are islamic extremists.

Indeed, the fact that they filed a patent is also an indicator that this is not purely an experiment, but a tangible way forward. Let’s hope this can scale up quickly.

Yeah, duh: making immigrants and politicians the scapegoat works best when people are unhappy with life.

To me it’s extremely transparent however that neoliberals and conservatives have defunded and weakened our institutions so they can no longer fulfill their responsibilities. This leads to dissatisfaction which the extreme right blames on immigrants and correctly on neoliberal politicians.

That this leads to women voting for patriarchs, Jewish people for descendants of Nazis and second generation immigrants for racists, is so frustrating.

Meanwhile these people say the same thing about immigrants.

Don’t you get it? This one was one of the good ones. /s

Keeping these friendships going could combat their radicalization, but I’m not faulting you, I also cancelled friendships over this.
