You may not like it, but this is what peak Chargering looks like.

As a non-American this is basically the opposite of my perception. If anything, Americans are the most likely (of the western cultures) to be willing to work on themselves to achieve x or y. Maybe self improvement doesn’t map 1:1 on the point made here, but still, weird sentiment imo

Ok thanks for the further context. I stand corrected

Prior to LLMs no one thought we were „next token predictors“. Now that LLMs are all the rage the way they work is supposed to be a description how human thinking works? That doesn’t make much sense. I don’t think humans are „special“, but that doesn’t mean LLMs are like humans.

I really hope that it works out as much as it can in this fucked up situation. Hopefully there will be enough politicians with enough humanity and spine to stop this cruelty

Not only are analogies bad I also butchered it. I meant „to reject the shovel even though that would thwart the excavator„

I am not in the affected group so I won’t speak for anyone else, but I could understand why you might reject the shovel to shovel your own grave to thwart the excavator. yeah, the excavator is faster and more cruel, but the alternative is still working on shoveling your own grave.

But that cuts both ways. If Talarico wins it’ll validate his anti-trans messaging strategy and encourage other dems to adopt it. It’s lose-lose and I can understand the despair if „your“ candidates turn on you after the primary

Thats the neat thing: it’s lose-lose. If Talarico wins it confirms the strategy of throwing trans people under the bus. If he loses, it’s trans people’s fault. Just great

Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
And, yes there are good reasons for that to have consequences. Otherwise, as a minority group, you just line up to be thrown under the bus again and again. And whats in it for you? You get normalization of anti-minority rhetoric as a reward. Congratulations!

With Platner the argument was that it was all known at the primary and he won it and you just have to accept that and vote for him! But that argument doesn’t work when they change their tune after the primary. a candidate doesn’t have a divine right to votes of a party because they won the primary

If I remember correctly the governor of Utah refused to sign certain anti trans legislation

Pat @pat-snyder.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Applied to the US: How do you expect some Republicans governors who have stood up to trans harassment to continue their stance if even Democrats with anti trans stances get elected?

I don’t know about shortsighted. Look at the UK. Flaky Labour Party MPs (which should be allies if the LGBTQ community) have conjured the worst situation for trans people in their country in decades. This will give the Tories/Reform even more permission for cruelty going forward.

All of that is correct, but Die Linke knows that they would be the first to be walked into the Gulag if the AfD had their way. Despite all chaos and turmoil I‘d consider the chances of them forming a coalition as extremely low if not 0.

i second this. the gutting of the grants funding was not such a line? The firings of people (in academia) who quoted Kirk after his death, was not such a line? But some white supremacist that yaps about Ashkenazi IQ, that’s where he draws the line?

You have to make the mental leap that Iranian and Oman „service fees“ (or be bombed) are not impediments, but ok. And of course you need faith that the sides actually agreed on anything, this time frfr.

Until proven otherwise I’d assume she‘s doing her typical spectacle of symbolic resistance because they know they have enough votes even without her.

I don’t care much about the rhythm. Kind of whitewashing Odysseus and other themes is more serious but was to be expected from a big budget Hollywood Movie.

Or, and hear me out, you insulted anyone who criticized Platner as a smoothgroin, never acknowledge it, lose like 1-2% of your followers and go on with your life like nothing happened. Because faulty assessments never have noteworthy consequences if you are white or write what whites like

sad that this kind of an argument for siloing off the elites because they go mad otherwise. I mean, they could also try not to give into their darkest impulses just because they get criticized, but that seems too much of an ask
