So you think the digital ID will be public for all to see, so volunteer moderators will be able to make decisions like thar? I doubt it, such a solution would cause massive chaos.
Why do you think they'll snip bots though? They're pretty useful to the establishment.
I would be more motivated to fight against this if bot-infestation was not such a massive issue on social media.
You think digital ID will actually help to solve the issue? I don't really see how that would happen.
I don't think we're talking about prostitutes, more like party girls. They're probably also unattached, but this is a collective question, which makes it so icky to the liberals, but I don't think it's easily dismissible. War is inherently a collective endeavor, and the men that get conscripted have every right to ask "What am I fighting for? What will I be coming home to, if I somehow manage to get through this?".
What's so baffling? An intra-ingroup crime is an individual matter, a cross-group crime is a collective matter, everyone knows this deep down, including the perpetrators.
Even progressives acknowledge this in an inverted way. The drama over Harvey Weinstein was a lot bigger than the fallout from the rape gang, and it's because they know these two things are not the same.
Genderslop aside, he's pointing at a real problem. What "country" are they fighting for, if one half of the population gets thrown into the meatgrinder, and the other half leaves and starts a new life with foreigners? What's going to be left of the nation after all is said and done? Is it really "woman hating" to expect that they wait for the boys to come home any more than it's "man hating" to conscript them to begin with?
They convinced most Americans of something, and then America did it.
They didn't. Most Americans were opposed to the war. Politics in general rarely works by convincing the majority, there are many things that the majority want get done that never happen, and things that happen that the don't want. Politics works by convincing the elites, which is much closer to the "conspiracy" interpretation, though it's not an exclusively Jewish thing.
Yeah, fair enough, some countries got carried away with that stuff.
Personally, in fact, I find the continuing proliferation of activities that moral busybodies won't let you do anymore if you have kids to be among the most impactful points on the antinatalist side.
I'm pretty sure we had a higher fertility rate back when drug fueled sex orgies in a tent were somewhat taboo even for the childless.
We have much more invasive technology than Orwell’s time (some, like AI, surpass that in 1984). And arguably we have less overall freedom (at least it’s harder to commit crime without getting caught), but again, much more than 1984 citizens.
Orwell was writing speculative fiction, the system from his book was unachievable with the technology of his time. He wasn't even writing sci-fi as such, focusing more on what society would look, given total surveillance technology being available. So AI isn't surpassing 1984, it's a necessary condition for it.
In a few years our leaders may actually not be human (if we achieve ASI and it merges with and/or overthrows them). Then it is plausible we’d be put into a 1984-like society (temporarily, but that may be a long time: until the AI can do everything more efficiently than humans and promptly exterminates us, or the Earth becomes uninhabitable, or aliens invade, etc.). While I can’t imagine why an omnipotent (from our perspective) AI would even give humans the choice to rebel.
Yeah, this is an issue I have with rationalists. ASI is a religious belief that they obsess over, and ignore far more plausible scenarios. You don't need ASI for 1984. Smartphones and LLMs are more than enough. You just need to build out the infrastructure, you might not even need to improve the models beyond what we have today.

Then why not start by telling all the feminists and progressives of various stripes, that they should be at least as outraged about this as they were about Harvey Weinstein and George Floyd (arguably as much as both combined)?
