Allistics often don't say what they mean, relying on a complex, unwritten, and constantly shifting code of subtext, tone, and body language. Autistics are expected to be fluent in this code without ever being given the manual.

I would like to have a future. I would like to have some level of self determination. I would like structure.

Love is not about coddling someone's feelings in the present. It's about protecting their existence in the future, allistics will never understand that but somehow its autistics who are the problem. 🤷

Most people say they want fairness but when presented with what that actually looks like they become enraged and try to burn it down and reinstall cronyism.

If only this didn’t run square into the problem of that whole “USAID being a dead letter on track to kill more people than the First World War” thing but surely that’s more a simple inconvenience than anything

Big boat stuck would fix us

it/its pronouns are the coolest thing ever btw and you should give anybody who uses them $1,700 immediately

If you can't beat "the Democrats" in a boss fight you're not going to be able to form your own successful party. If you can't bench press 200 you can't bench press 500 either.

There is no route to power in the United States that's easier than taking over one of the two major parties (Trump did it in six years, also a reminder) If you want a viable third party in the U.S., you need electoral reform, which means... you need to make that happen first.

So, you know how the current cold water realism response to "put humans on Mars!" is "no matter what the problems are making Mars habitable, they're harder than keeping the Earth habitable"? The "the Democrats are useless we need a new opposition party" gets the same cold water response, sorry.

The virgin heighten the contradictions to awaken the slumbering proletarian giant versus the Chad “just slap a D next to your name so half the country votes for you by default.”

Honestly kind of hilarious that after 50,000 different galaxy brain ideas they tried running in one of the two major parties in a two party system and it worked,

the internet has never been more real life than it is now and tpot's dumbest poster is in charge

Erin Reedification of queer news has been a disaster for our people

Careful fact checking has revealed you all are hilariously and dangerously wrong about just about every bit of drama thats happened on this website and it causes harm to your own causes. Why are you all willing to light you goals on fire to fit in?

Mass delusions about what basically are private citizens, for the sake of belonging, should not be tolerated. People rightly decry places like KF, but then recreate it from first principles daily.

This response isnt an attack on OP, just a continuation of what it said earlier but...why do we put up with this? People say we cant care about it but we should. We should pull it out root and branch from our spaces with such fury nobody tries it again.

Doll feels insane for trying to hold on to small pockets of objective reality But it must do so.

U.S. leftists should read If We Burn and how globally all of the “leaderful”, decentralized protest movements of the 2010s mostly failed and members pretty uniformly wish they had been more centralized and organized and less anarchist

the idea that anything other than the most transient organizing is dangerous is corrosive to the type of civil society resistance which is necessary now but not occurring

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

The more doll sees people fall for obviously bad actors lying to them, telling them obviously untrue things they want to hear the more it comes to the conclusion they arent being fooled or mislead, this is what they like. Thats who they are.

buddy, they can find out your politics pretty easy, you have a picture of yourself next to every opinion

you have to admit it's a little funny to be doing dire warnings about signing up for protests on a website where you post leftist stuff under your own name

Every fetish in the taxonomy is strongly coded to particular political phenotypes. You got the inflationists (republicans), macrophiliacs (republicans), and vorarephilia (somehow also republicans).

They can look up if you're a Democrat based on what humiliation fetish subgroup you're tagged with by advertising data brokers this is not that deep. They know.

People on Bluesky will be like "you believe in mass engagement? That pales in comparison to my strategy, spy-level personal security." And then continue to post about politics on Bluesky.

No. This is one of those things that sounds smart in the abstract but falls apart when you try to do a long-term campaign. If it's a closed event, registration defends against infiltrators. If it's an open event, registration facilitates follow-ups to push people up the ladder of engagement.

Now that it's fall, we need to prepare the winter counteroffensive. Reminder for your normie facing social media accounts: 1.) you weren't able to get your child or younger relative what they wanted for Christmas 2.) but if you were, tariffs made it cost a billion dollars

“They do have the capacity to quash all dissent and create a totalitarian hellscape” cool you and Stephen miller agree, go buy your red hat.

hard to overstate my contempt for those that have already preemptively surrendered this country to the Trump in their heads.

Every time I post about this I get people writing fanfic about the manly and strong Trump administration and how they will be able to easily stop elections and maintain power forever and Jesus Christ, genuinely, take a walk in the sunshine.

Like for everybody who fears that they’re going to station ICE agents at every polling place, we need to understand what that means. Not that they won’t try to fuck with elections, but this country is really fucking big and they don’t have the capacity to do this even under generous assumptions.

Look, they do not have the capacity or competence to do this at the scale they want you to fear they do, and your fear is precisely their greatest force multiplier. Everybody who is cowed into silence by their threats allows them a smaller pool to focus on.

It's just the nature of technology that there are upsides and downsides. The ratio of upside:downside can vary. No one in the world knows what the potential upside and downside of AI is. No one should pretend to. There's no way to know in advance if it can e.g. help cure cancer. Have to just try.

This is the kind of anti AI statements doll is talking about that says youre not serious. You neither know what plagarism even is or how accurate information can be gotten from an LLM.

There was a bunch of posting about how No Kings had terrible opsec because people were posting pictures of themselves at the protest. And like, guys, if you're doing things that are not illegal and 90% of people would not find antisocial, then getting arrested is like, the best protest outcome

Has the fact that they have at no point gone after any of the No Kings people (because that would be atrocious optics) not sunk in for anyone

it is fairly common in political science lot on social democracy that the thing that kills social democracy is high inflation

basically this. I find the ‘badass hardcore activist’ shtick so incredibly grating. shut the fuck up. you *want* normal people who don’t know what opsec is at a protest. bsky.app/profile/rev-...

they aren’t actually scared. they wouldn’t have thousands of posts on here if they were actually worried. it’s an idiotic attempt to gatekeep mass politics from the lame casuals.

You can tell who goes to protests and who hasn’t seen the sun since 2016

Never beating the "aesthetic leftists are Republicans who don't know it yet" allegations.

People are learning that discord isnt private when its been obvious for years this is the case why did you expect it to be private whats wrong with you?

Anyone loudly telling you that moving to a new PDS can make you immune to blueskys moderation is either stupid or lying. They can absolutely still action you, they can action the PDS as well.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"
