ok, so if hitler had won instead, you would be indifferent to that, right?

i’m glad that you know that, but i knew that too. the fact of there already having been one does not relate to the point im trying to make in my comment

the good news is communists will learn from mistakes they made and improve techniques in the future

this is what they get for not having ALF

yeah this is so real. i felt a cartoon network-themed fighting game would work a million times better because there’s a coherency to it; as a kid i actually could associate johnny bravo and kiva from megas xlr (or whatever) together in like *some* way. as opposed to literally just ‘uh we just so happened to have…

what i’m seeing is that people will say ridiculous stuff like ‘stalin is as bad as hitler’ and then when you challenge them on it they’ll admit they were talking bs, but only in the most mealy-mouthed way possible.

i’m trying to figure out the same thing. the stuff i’m reading makes it seem like it’s legit people going absolutely out of control with rage over a video game company whose crimes are:

if stalin was “no better,” then does that imply that you would have been indifferent if nazis had won? that’s an equally good outcome to you? interesting if so

nah bro that’s just propaganda. literal historical facts that just so happen to be positive about russia? deeeefinitely propaganda.

it’s also curtailed by gigantic levels of shame due to it being extremely not accepted by society. so one important thing is to not be one of the people trying to normalize deepfake porn, which sadly there are a lot of those people atm

the root of the problem is cultural imo so i agree

i feel like a lot of big developments that happen are literally just “people find this thing amusing. so, now it’s this big thing that is getting way out of hand”

i actually don’t think people will. i think this will bubble up and up until eventually there’s some kind of explosion. “revenge porn being ubiquitous” is like, definitely not tenable in the long run

i think the big problem is more like... cultural than simply ‘this technology exists.’ the fact that a significant number of people are willing to do this weird-ass extreme shit is kind of evidence of the level of like, porn-obsession and disrespect for women we have in society imo. which in theory is a solvable…

things won’t get better because the point of capitalism is that more profit is made, having nothing to do with lives being improved or anything like that.

this is not good analysis imo because it does not go anywhere. it only amounts to saying ‘this thing is inevitable.’ a way to push your analysis forward imo is to really say, ‘what specifically should be done to adapt?’

that kind of porn seems bad too though

it’s good to see the potential good uses and that’s great. what we need more than that, though, is an analysis how, under capitalism, many horrible abuses that will be possible with this advancement (or most advancements really) will be very profitable and thus encouraged. we need a way to combat this, hence why…

your statement that capitalism is the problem is great. this has probably already been said, but the problem with philanthropy is the opportunity cost. if i have millions of dollars and donate it to charity in order to feel good, improve my image, and make money, that is fine in and of itself. but the opportunity cost…

i dont think i see this going anywhere it hasnt gone already. i would just keep reading what brendan slack is saying though. as you might be able to see, i’m not some fringe troll, there are just people who are actually trying to pay attention to this stuff and help others understand about it, of whom i am just one.
