At the same time, the pipelines made Germany, the most powerful country in Europe, dependent on the Kremlin

Certifiably false given how quickly they were able to switch to US supplied gas.

It’s like insisting on using your car while sitting in the train on the way to work because your car has broken down.

Your stern refusal only makes you a better choice for leader.

It will describe anything it disagrees with as “the [x] trap.”

You can prompt it to stop doing these things if you notice it, and it will generally work. Quite useful if something pisses you off about its output.

I don’t really see what’s more dangerous about this than what the business world has already been doing since long before AI. Everything is standardized, and everyone is following this or that trend. Creativity was already actively discouraged in favor of following strict guidelines on how to do things. And AI is perfectly adequate to achieve this.

Yes, the youngest millenials are 30 now.

The gnarly Chinese version of the Epstein files, featuring a large list of names that Westeners have never heard of.

Yes, even in the most expensive places of the world you get plenty for your money with rotisserie chicken compared to other options.

Nah they first went to stupidpol only to get banned there too, then they became a liberal twitter poster.

I spent a good while looking for the fascist symbol until I realized you meant the US flag with the bald eagle

Critical support to Kamala for helping to kill this dogshit meme once and for all.

Just a tiny, insignificant problematic aspect like widespread support for fascism. No biggie. Btw, why are all our governments turning towards fascism? Where could this be coming from?

Moreover, present day Russia is a creation by the West itself. It was your governments that wanted the USSR to collapse, your goverments that elevated individuals like Putin post-collapse. Now you get a brutal, capitalist, Anti-LGBT hellpit, that the people of the West somehow pretend just materialized out of nothing, and wasn’t a result of their own negligence, their own unwillingness to prevent mass suffering in Eastern Europe and Asia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

You are constantly in conflict with your own self-made monsters.

Jul 2024: “Genocide is okay if Israel is doing it. Vote Democrat btw.”

Sep 2025: “Israel is allowed to torture Western activists. Israel is our greatest ally.”

Jan 2026: “Jews were the only victims of the Holocaust, everyone else doesn’t matter.”

FNAF has ruined media literacy for an entire generation of kids with its nonsensical lore, in how it tried to outsmart theorists with dumber and dumber plot twists. If you’ve interacted with the Deltarune or TADC communities, this will become very apparent.

But also, on a more serious note, Scott Cawthon has repeatedly donated the wealth he gained from FNAF to Republican politicians. It doesn’t explain the porn, but FNAF is still somehow connected to the far right anyways.

Excellent work Agent Natalya

(note: I don’t actually believe this but I find it funny to imagine)

AI scraping is okay though.

Donald Trump is a tankie because he visited North Korea

Not surprising. Any platform with a significant number of users ultimately becomes a potential vector to steer public discourse at large scale. And I do think it’s clear that Epstein was more than just a broker for a child abuse island; he was a middleman through which rich and influential people could connect and coordinate.

And it really shouldn’t be underestimated just how influential 4chan was. In the latter half of the 2000s, it slowly but surely became the dominant force in creating internet meme culture, taking that crown from Something Awful, and largely influencing how people talked in those days. There was a reason the “f slur” was so common, and that was long before /pol/ even came into existence.

By 2010/2011, Ragefaces were the main “generic” meme format that people used on sites like 9gag, and they originated from 4chan. These would then be switched out for the Wojak/Pepe format that would become mainstream around 2013/2014, Pepe itself being largely perpetuated by /pol/. The frog has largely fallen out of favor for being associated with nazis, but the Wojak format persists, even within leftist communities, over 12 years later. A ton of internet expressions and mannerism originate from 4chan, so it’s not surprising that it would become a target for rich people to influence public discourse.

This is the forest that people missed for the trees when Musk took over Twitter. For all the chants of how Musk was wasting a lot of money, how investors would leave, how the site might become unstable because of important people being fired, and how it would all turn into a disaster and collapse – people seemed to barely consider the potential long-term gain for Musk in terms of narrative control by taking over such a huge social media site. Unsurprisingly, Musk then decided to get directly involved with the Trump administration, taking direct advantage of the media platform he now controlled. And the site persists, now considered a lawless trash dump with selective and sparse moderation, where far-right ideology can thrive, very much like 4chan.

And in the coming weeks and months, we will see such a takeover unfold with TikTok as well. There can be no major platform of public discourse online that rich and influential people will not attempt to take control of. It simply cannot be allowed to exist.

I knew FNAF was a psyop.

Singlehandedly ruined the media literacy of an entire generation.
