Comment on Trump’s Social Media Surveillance: Social Scoring by Another Name
mspencer712@programming.dev 3 days agoThat’s got to be a nightmare. I’m really sorry to hear that, and I appreciate you sharing.
I can’t think of any ways to rephrase that, that don’t sound empty or performative. You sent my thoughts towards my own parents. I’m sorry for your pain.

Thanks, I appreciate it and I do appreciate what you’re trying to say. I do believe that objectively you probably are more spot on and my experience is probably a bit wild subjectively and definitely not what a lot of people experience. It’s quite the duality to go through but I imagine it does cloud my judgement a bit towards others.
It’s also difficult for me to understand how people get brainwashed because I assume it just happens more with people with lower IQs. I’m saying this with as much modesty and self awareness as possible but it’s just difficult to ever put myself down on that level to understand how that stuff happens where so many people can get duped like that. That’s my own issue though and I could take more time and patience with some other people. Subjectively I’m just a bit fucked, hah. Apologies for being so combative about it and thanks for taking the time to make your points cos they are valid but I would say don’t underestimate cos some of them just have bad intentions and are shameless bastards.
