I am not officially warning you here, but this post was kind of low effort and you really have been sort of a one-note piano lately, enough that even people who broadly agree with you are getting annoyed.
But is he wrong though?

I'm really glad now that I have an old school account that doesn't need my phone number. All these loops one has to jump through are anoying.

Nobody said that it was, but it is pseudo slavery if your only options are that, crime (medium term death) or starve (early death).

Illegal immigrants undercut domestic workers, it would logically raise employment and wages amongst the working class.
they don't have better prospects too.

I honestly don't understand how these commercials could possibly sell product, so I assume they are just pushing the agendas of the ad execs.

yes, but I would imagine the difficulty of finding him would ramp up in inverse correlation with the notoriety of the person doing the searching. Not unlike someone ducking loan collectors but being readily available to go to the pub with friends.

But forcing us to use trans people's pronouns (and hence lie)? No, not really. Maybe people might complain about it on internet forums and amongst close friends (I have friend who finds it annoying like you do), but I don't think they'll do anything about it.
The important thing to keep in mind is that the chulthu swims to the left, preferred pronouns may feel like a new issue, but at this point in any sufficiently big organization, it is already claimed territory by the progs. As you say in the preceding paragraph, the new thing is trans kids. I don't think the millions of Americans with compelled speech in their workplace feel very strongly about it, they are fat and lazy and have very comfortable lives, but it will be interesting to see how they deal with their kids being transed.

I have a few comments saved, but I don't think it alerts you to responses, you would have to check periodically and keep track of which comments you have already seen.
nothing says "living in the wild" like living in a welfare state, these people live in another reality alright.

I would like to posit that we need a function like "watch a post" or something to that effect where you are notified everytime the post you are watching is replied to. Very important for contentious topics where you don't want to clutter the thread with useless responses, but want to follow along the conversation and respond in the future if apropiate.

But I don't think either were inspired by The Terminator or other such works of scifi.
we are in agreement on that point then.

what do you think is more probable, that the Doomers saw Terminator in theaters when they were children or that they watched Anime related to AI doom?.
but Doomers are not a majority of people and are, IMHO, very different from regular people.
that is a major disagreement we have there. To me Doomers and "rationalists" in general are just regular people very good at rationalizing their biases.
Also, I'm assuming AIM doesn't stand for AOL Instant Messenger, but I don't know what it refers to.
Sorry, it was supposed to be AM not AIM. From I have no mouth and I must scream.

now compare that to anime, that at that time was much less mainstream (I would posit unknown to the general western population above 30) and in the west lacked stories that could be interpreted as the basis for the Doomer cult centered on AI. As for your observations of The Terminator, I will just posit that, that is the number 1 franchise the mayority of people think of when Killer AI is mentioned, and Skynet when adversarial AI's enter the conversation, followed in close second by AIM and HALL 9000.

Half the population would be enough, I reckon.

I don't think anime is to blame for all the Doomers in AI, I would rather blame movies like Terminator.

it's what happens when you live and breathe Burger politics. Unless it wan be weaponized to harrass those other guys it is ignored.
I wonder if he would have approved of current state America, with it's welfare state schemes and restrictions in the second and first amendment.
