There’s nothing wrong with human rights but how does harming the lives of innocent people help human rights? It makes it hard to sell to other people you are serious about human rights. Instead you just look like a problem. A problem that motivates leaning on fascism. So when stores get robbed you are making negative ground with anything you want to do.
It is objectively cool. But harming mom and pop businesses gets really hard to sell as cool. Trying to convince people outside of your political silo that burning cop cars is cool is difficult but possible. The other one isn’t.
Yes. But it isn’t robbing mom and pop stores.
Well you loose the political game when it ends up on TV. You are making negative progress with your political goals because the political will to get rid of what are perceived as “lawless illegals” only increases.
Is it morally right to loose? Because this is how you loose.
I originally got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/1l7b1ht/hell_yeah/
Interesting to see how the same thing gets responded to elsewhere:

Robbing stores isn’t good PR. I’m working with the right to do positive PR for you guys if you ever do anything to a cop or to cop property. I’m pretty good at selling it “as long as they aren’t harming peaceful citizens or local businesses. Who the fuck cares if zog has a bad day.” Then you have people looting stores and I can’t run PR for you on the right. And they look at the news and say, “See, getting the illegals out of here was a good idea.”
When people steal stuff the whole movement, even the people not doing it, just becomes propaganda for the other side. What would be increadable PR is if crowds physically prevented looting.
This is why most gun owners prefer GOA. NRA just inserts itself as the face of gun owners, doesn’t actually represent us. GOA is actually libertarian, is for armed citizens not militarized cops. Stays in its lane with politics. Doesn’t go out of its way to get bad PR with left.
Thinking gun owners like the NRA is about on the same level as thinking we shoot clips. They are the AARP of guns. They exist only to collect money from idiots.
x0x7@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.English112·9 days agoIntuition is about the only thing it has. It’s a statistical system. The problem is it doesn’t have logic. We assume because its computer based that it must be more logic oriented but it’s the opposite. That’s the problem. We can’t get it to do logic very well because it basically feels out the next token by something like instinct. In particular it doesn’t mask or disconsider irrelevant information very well if two segments are near each other in embedding space, which doesn’t guarantee relevance. So then the model is just weighing all of this info, relevant or irrelevant to a weighted feeling for the next token.
This is the core problem. People can handle fuzzy topics and discrete topics. But we really struggle to create any system that can do both like we can. Either we create programming logic that is purely discrete or we create statistics that are fuzzy.
Of course this issue of masking out information that is close in embedding space but is irrelevant to a logical premise is something many humans suck at too. But high functioning humans don’t and we can’t get these models to copy that ability. Too many people, sadly many on the left in particular, not only will treat association as always relevant but sometimes as equivalence. RE racism is assoc with nazism is assoc patriarchy is historically related to the origins of capitalism ∴ nazism ≡ capitalism. While national socialism was anti-capitalist. Associative thinking removes nuance. And sadly some people think this way. And they 100% can be replaced by LLMs today, because at least the LLM is mimicking what logic looks like better though still built on blind association. It just has more blind associations and finetune weighting for summing them. More than a human does. So it can carry that to mask as logical further than a human who is on the associative thought train can.

Now I’ve given you something to think about. Or should I say the Markov chain in your head has a new topic to generate thought states for.

Blackrock, that investment firm that you can’t even divest from because your pension is tied to it. Which really peels back some layers on root cause analysis. Because blackrock and vanguard get management of this money pretty much by default when there is an institutional pension they have fuck you money. As in fuck you, it’s my money till 40 years in the future.
The Healthcare United CEO is just middle management. All he’s doing is taking orders in hopes doing that enough means his company survives. If he doesn’t then the private equity firms and banks just fund the guy who will.
Larry Fink is the real management.

Yeah, farmers feeding plants substances is weird. Did you know they add substances like uria and ammonia to make pumpkins larger. In fact they use that shit everywhere. They also use chemicals that straight up turn the soil alkaline.

It’s fat soluble so over doing it can be bad. Beyond a certain number of carrots you should switch to red bell peppers. Has carotenoids but without the vitamin A.
x0x7@lemmy.worldOPto Movies@lemmy.world•Movie Night Tonight: We are watching Watchmen 8pm EasternEnglish41·19 days agoI tried to run one. That time poll you see was created hoping I’d see a good time for Europe and or everyone. From that Sunday 4pm Eastern seemed like the time that would get everyone. No one showed up vs the 8pm Friday Eastern.
I had to let it go because there is nothing more embarrassing than running these and it’s just me and a rare person popping in and then immediately leaving because they see it’s just me watching a movie by myself.
Basically these are fun but a certain level of social momentum needs to happen for it to work and I tried but couldn’t get it working for the Europeans. You aren’t the only one who has asked, so I’d think it would take off just fine. I tried like three times. That’s three lonely movies I’ve watched.
If you want to launch one and can hype a time for it better than I can you can even use the same space. Anyone can plan anything they want there.
