  Even better. Doing that to accuse people of pigeonholing/stereotyping people according to an aspect they have zero control.

    Upvoting. Or, accusing people of accusing people of pigeonholing/stereotyping people according to an aspect they have zero control!

  If it wasn’t a shitpost it would’ve been illegal in many countries

    Just wait’ll the fascists take control in the next election, and it may become so here! (this statement works regardless of country or year or even party affiliation, unfortunately, but people are people)

      Well I’m in Sweden but I’m hoping you vote for the non-fascists.

        Plot twist: both sides are fascists.

        But not equally.

  But hey, at least they had the choice in becoming racist.

    (Wow a lot of downvoters here but fwiw I at least upvoted you.)

    You bring up a FASCINATING tangent: is there a minimum level of agency required for someone to be “wrong”? Like if ChatGPT were to say something that represent racist trolling language, is it racist, or is it merely incorrectly trained? (and if it is a racist troll, then why is it not banned entirely from places like Reddit, Facebook, Tumblr, Threads, X, and the Fediverse? humans that do precisely that have that happen to them - why is it treated with “kid gloves”?)

    Moreover, if someone steps up to become a leader, do we hold them to a higher standard? e.g. even though Trump can barely pass a test to determine if he is mentally incapable, do we hold his actions (such as assassination, invasion of another country like Russia is doing, etc.) against him? Do these standards vary according to the level of leadership, e.g. what if someone is not running to be a President, but they do vote to remove access to medical care for pregnant mothers - does the person bear any responsibility whatsoever for their actions in that case, if they “merely voted”, the way that their pastors told them to?

    Another source of bias is a personal relationship - is someone wrong, or conversely not wrong, even if they are your mother or father?

    I think the Western world is under attack, and we have some difficult decisions ahead of us. People people are literally dying, and we are in this trolly staring at the lever. Whatever the attacker does is on them, but whatever we do in response is on us. imho. But if I say that, then isn’t it likewise on them, those people who vote in the other way than I think is correct?
