Figured what out?

That is a bit of a misnomer since figuring things out requires at least a double-digit IQ and I don’t have one of those. –TheGreatWhiteNorthFreePress

The Great White North Free Press is a far right white nationalist independent “news” media. They’re not getting it on purpose.

Good catch. I overlooked that, overshadowed by the fail of missing the insinuation in the whimsical analogy.

I still love the post where some dude bitches at Tom Morello something like “I liked RatM when you weren’t political” and Tom shot back asking him to name a single song that wasn’t political so he could delete it.

Reminds me of bad old days when Ukrainian cops were the worst shit. Like - plant evidence and arrest you worst shit, beat you up in the alley because you look weird shit. You see a cop - you go the opposite side of the street as far as possible because that motherfucker will have a problem with you. And then one day - the government pulled the trigger on the police reform, fired pretty much anyone with any kind of negative rep and replaced them with new recruits and it is almost as if years of fucked up bullshit were all just the bad dream.

I guess Ukraine didn’t push enough propaganda on you to convince half your population that cops abusing your rights, and killing people at will, is great for Ukraine!
That’s how we do it in America, the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE World!®
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
See, the big problem in my opinion, is that they didn’t convince people that the cops are great. They convinced people that the cops are mostly abusing the people they want to see abused…
A big problem in that is the obvious and massive societal issue that so many people voted on, and seem to care about, above all else, whether or not the marginalized people they hate are being hurt.
BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Our copaganda never really had a chance to get going like that because for the longest time it was either produced by russians or for the russians. Because of that it was never associated with the Ukrainian police. Post-2014 and the police reform cop shows do their thing but the focus is about policemen being regular Joes like everyone else and the subjects of government corruption and especially corrupted judicial system and also loose cannon cops doing more damage than good are regular topics even for the most basic shows. Meanwhile the streaming shows either try to pull off a Columbo or Poirot style detective stories instead of regular cop show format.

part of me wants to believe somewhere down the line, days, weeks, months, years – they’ll have a sudden realization in the shower or before bed, and never stop cringing internally
the more realistic part of me knows in my heart that that moment may never come without being gently prodded towards it.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Gently prodded? These fuckers need to be driven to the point with a cattle prod and have their face shoved in it to even hope they catch on.

Gently, though. Don’t wanna incite violence and get our whole forum nuked

Someone else pointed out they’re a right wing “news” account. They won’t cringe. Most likely, they got the implication but are trying to deny it.
kopasu22@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Might be the conspiratorial part of my brain coming through, but I’m half convinced it’s not just a stupid person, but an AI that completely missed the point.
I almost wonder if there shouldn’t be an extension or corollary of Hanlon’s Razor somewhere to account for AI.
“Never attribute to malice that which can be better explained by stupidity, but never attribute to stupidity that which can be better explained by malicious chatbots.”

Moolam@hilariouschaos.com 2 weeks ago

kopasu22@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Hanlon’s Razor is an old adage that boils down to: when you think someone is intentionally trying to be evil and ruin something, take a step back and ask whether it’s likelier they’re trying to be intentionally malicious, or if they’re just stupid/incompetent.
For example, you go to a restaurant and tell the waiter that you can’t have dairy, so you order a pasta dish without cheese. They bring it out to you, but look, there’s cheese. You can assume either that the waiter or the staff in the kitchen absolutely hate you and intentionally gave you cheese just to spite you…or that they just screwed up and forgot. The latter is probably likelier.
I was half-joking about potentially updating this idea to include an additional stipulation about AI bots online, which are good at looking like stupid people but actually are often malicious. Bots are used to sway political opinions. You have cases where they are trying to pass themselves off as real people to drown out legitimate discourse with a simulation of it, and cases like Musk’s Grok AI where it’s programmed to ignore truth and instead answer questions in ways that further his agenda or inflate his ego.
So sometimes when you see political posts that just defy all logic, or are ignoring a hard truth that is staring them in the face, you’re inclined to ask “How can this person sincerely believe what they’re saying right now?” And often the answer will be that they don’t, because they’re not a person, they’re a bot just regurgitating propagandic talking points.
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I almost wonder if there shouldn’t be an extension or corollary of Hanlon’s Razor somewhere to account for AI.
I feel like Hanlon’s Razor is a disease more than it is useful to anyone in any situation.
So frequently do normal people refuse to acknowledge that others can simply be malicious, that this rule only serves to aid people in giving the benefit of the doubt to people who act in ways to abuse it.
Politicians, shitty bosses, unscrupulous contractors, etc etc. All of these people hurt others by abusing their presumptions of innocence.
kopasu22@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s not perfect, but the basic idea is that assuming malice as default in every scenario will cause one to spiral into paranoia.
It’s not saying “people are never malicious and always just stupid” but just asking someone to take a step back from the situation and ask which is likelier in context.
