Sorry for the wall of text, but so often your position is espoused by reactionary bigots who think being born the right species is inherently virtuous, that there’s a fundamental mystical essential ‘humanness’ to give us some baseline value, and that nothing else could ever deserve those considerations, and call me a monster for considering fucking nuance, or the ways i am, as a human, capable of sucking. It’s uncannily close to fascism and i can get somewhat emotional about it.

Have you actually read fascist thinkers? Autodehumanization is often a conscious aspiration.

And as someone who gives a shit about animals who arent human, who read too many sci novels as a kid:

Human and person ate not synonyms. ‘Human’ is dtrictly a biological thing. Useful for medicine, organ compatibility, etc. There’s some fundamental psychology you can assume, and be mostly right most of the time, but since humans are so fucking versatile/volatile/plastic, odds are it will almost never be 100% accurate.

Personhood is another matter altogether. I think the most depressing thing about llmbros and the last decade’s acute rise of fascism is looking at all the things i treasure and see as special about people, then looking for them in my fellow humans, and so often just finding nothing. Being unable to build/revive/attach any.

If you’re not going to flesh out and define your idea past ‘vibes’, do not ask me to respect it. That is lib shit.

you aren’t better than the worst piece of shit.

Yes i am. I worked for this. I sacrificed a pretty substantial inheritance for a shot at being a good person. More than an inheritance. And i worked for it, too.

I don’t know if i exactly hit the mark. But i spent a looooong time trying to figure out how to do that. I spent a long time trying to figure out how to figure out how to do that. I got a better than average humanities education as a kid, but i gave myself an exceptional one, and learned practical skills besides, as i came into adulthood. I applied that. I applied that to myself and to the world around me, and I’ve allowed those i loved or respected to do the same. I have never stopped growing never stopped learning. I suffered and risked for this knowledge, for these aspirations. I patched and reinforced by bones with it-literally, in some cases.

How fucking dare you tell me some fascist piece of shit that’s spent its entire life trying to be a mindless object, trying to erase all capacity and knowledge from itself until it’s nothing but obedience and reflex, is as good as me. That fucking lib shit is an insult to both its efforts and my own. I worked for my dignity, the hypothetical fascist cast its dignity off. We are not alike, fuck you for saying so.

I wont eat octopus. That was a person, a person was killed for that meal. Not necessarily a kind of person i have much understanding of. It’s an alien mind, but it was almost certainly a person in ways that matter, and eating them by choice when you have other options is vile, even if their capture/farming/death was free of suffering, which it almost certainly was not. I’ll think less of you if you would.

If you’ll eat octopus by choice, then tell me a fascist is a person, your opinion is not worth hearing; you’re just some human-chauvanist piece of shit who’s never looked in a mirror.

No, just that it’s our fault they keep throwing every opportunity to resist.

There’s this thing they do. Basic schoolyard bully shit. Accusing someone else of the thing you’re gonna do, so when you do it, the victim sounds like theyre just copying you.

I’ve read neitzsche, by the way. There’s a lot of nuance to what that part actually means. Just quoting it to excuse the libshit you already believed (or think you do) is kind of missing the entire point of that philosophy.

There is a space between ‘itch.io freebie that runs in terminal’ and ‘TROUT: Sacred Band 8’ and the unprecedented level if sliders for dicks in character creation

More than ‘story’, the way they made every part of the game about it.

It was mediocre/workmanlike when viewed entirely as a shooter. But most of the gameplay just used ‘shooter’ as framing.

And won’t stop putting this slop in everything.

In tech, yes. In expenditure; no.

But they arent as much of a violently corrupt politically theatrical shit show, so id put it at roughly even odds.

So, which one keeps giving it septic tanks full of dead babies?

And why the fuck do we tolerate this shit existing when that’s the benign version?

Have you considered that them not stopping it when they could have is because we didn’t vote for them afterwards, so they didn’t have power before the election?

I think a general strike would be a good kicking off point, but too little too late.

And yeah it’s gonna take a bit to mobilize

trump was

Literally a plot by the clinton campaign, yes. They thought he’d be an easy win, even for her, after ratfucking sanders.

Americans will pack the tribunal with judges instead of antifascists.

Dont they run x86_64?

So you coukd use qubes, if they gave a chip with the hot virtualization features?

arch motorcycles

Wait, there was actual product placement in cyberpunk 2077? Also yes. Even without post scarcity, that’s a perfectly lovely way to get around.

ceos bad

Also, the mba was the invention of robert e lee. It was revenge for ‘ending’ slavery, and the seeds from which it rose more powerful than before.

So, you know; fuck them. They are a poison. Turn stanford to glass.

Artists give. When they actually work. At their real jobs. Dubno if they deserve more than scientists or steel workers, but if it turns out we do actually need inequaluty and theres a lottery for which professions make you rich, i won’t begrudge them a win.

Ceo’s take, ruin, defile everything they touch. The meth addict who wanders around the city pissing on things is closer to a net positive than a ceo. The MBA and its various spawn was the final genocidal victory lap of the confederacy, and their purée must all soak the soil before the tree of freedom can grow.

Definitely not equal.

And people are allowed to think inflated performance of that dislike is cringe, i suggest the two if you make up fot boring the rest of us with a duel.

A duel fought by robots controlled by core functions of their operating systems-both arch based, controlled only in terminal.

Left turns are eazy, you just need to reset sound and get audio playing-will you use alsa or pulse?

Right turns are a little harder.

Fascists aren’t people. Logic and self interest does not apply.

It’s all libidnal desire to not think, a rejection of a world that demands they grow and change. A rejection of complexity, of knowledge, of responsibility.

Critical thinking does not apply. Their whole way of being runs counter to that. There is no self awareness, no imagination¹, not even self preservation.

Even what you and i think of as communication serves a different purpose for them. It’s like the husks from ‘mass effect’ but more so.

¹older versions of fascism actually had imagination. It was a thing. Filtered out; creates too much complexity.

I’d rather they not, though.
