I don't know where exactly the genuine belief in truth ends and the "get the outgroup" begins
We've stopped believing in truth and started knowing it was true?

This art was already there, because Midjourney learned all that on human art. Corporations preferred to use corporate memphis because it's presumably cheaper and perhaps more brand-recognizable and shit. I'm afraid if AI-generated memphis remains cheaper than beautiful art, we're going to see a lot more AI-memphis than AI-beauty.

When one uses specifically American right wing shibboleths, I dare say you are importing the reaction and not just saying "none of that here".
To be clear, the animosity may well be local, but the words they use to express it isn't always so.

I would, of course as someone who leans more progressive, argue that however cringe importing social fads from USA is, importing the reaction to said social fads from USA is even more cringe. You're just demonstrating that your own culture really isn't enough for those damn kids.

Arriving at a correct answer through insufficiently rigorous reasoning is what is called "guessing". We discourage it in students, we discourage it in AIs (at least to the point where they guess so well as to be indistinguishable from reasoning). I damn well want to discourage guessing before you attack someone, too.

Because it's a minimal preferred alternative to "violently remove him from society".

If they asked me, “Are you glad that Mr. Schizo is dead?” How could I credibly answer “no, this is a terrible tragedy, I never wanted to take someone’s life” when I’ve got a backlog of posts here saying explicitly that I believe that schizophrenic street criminals’ lives have no value whatsoever and that the world would be better if all of them were summarily rounded up and sent to gulags or executed?
You only need to believe that it would've been better that Mr Schizo was miraculously cured of schizoism enough to not attack people in order to honestly say "no, I didn't want him to die".

It's strictly less likely to work than taking less drastic and more sensible steps you're refusing to consider. I won't repeat them, there's like 10 people here who told you already.

Too bad, I want Russia to be the one that loses to a woke country it should have decidedly won against.

I'd say worseness plateaus at some point. The difference in the standard of life in 1000 AC and 1000 BC would be indistinguishable to me, probably. But I'm no historian.
You can argue of whether going as far back as pre-agriculture would be a drop or a rise relative to agriculture, but either way I prefer the modern era.

Without the pressure of imperfect technology better technology may never come. I suppose you'd be fine with it, they aren't.
My advice to any trans-questioning people who I could trust to listen would, of course, be to focus on everything else that troubles them and then see if they're still unhappy with the junk they were born with.

Certainly not everything has to be falsifiable, but factual statements about your opponents probably should be if there's a productive discussion to be had.

No need to cook up an "actually women don't think about things"-like explanation where "it's painfully obvious for anyone who is in college or would want to go there that you wouldn't be able to go to college if you were a 1800s peasant" suffices.
Frankly, I'm tempted to write off many mottizen politically incorrect posts as "they actually haven't evaluated those ideas, they just learned to rehash Wrongthink (and quote 1984isms while doing so) to feed their compulsive contrarianism". Do you believe that would be charitable? Or even falsifiable?

I wonder if circumcision has to do something with the difference in opinions here.

How does it grade you if you give a blatantly unhelpful solution? How about ones that are subtly wrong?
1 word is still fewer than 25.
