The MAGA people are realists. They believe that they are thinking and acting in alignment with objective reality. You and I can think they’re wrong, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t realists. When it comes to the question of objective reality, they’re on your side, not Mine. They don’t think their perceptions are subjective. They don’t think gender and race are social constructs. They don’t take responsibility for their perceptions like I do.
You’re making the mistake of conflating being wrong with being a subjectivist. Have a serious think, you believe they think gender is a subjective social construct? Not a chance!

The belief in an objective reality is a prerequisite to the owning class’s control of reality. People let the media tell them what to believe, because they want to believe in objective reality. They don’t want to actively participate in creating their own subjective world.
And that’s exactly why the belief in an objective reality is a dangerous and corrupting technology. We shouldn’t leave such a powerful tool for control lying around where evil people can get their hands on it. We need to raise the next generation believing that the universe is subjective in nature, armed with the knowledge of all the horrible atrocities that realists have committed throughout history. The crusades. The slave trade. The stolen generations. The holocaust. All motivated by the belief in an objective reality, with objective reasons to oppress the weak. Realism is an evil technology.

Your perceptions are influenced by your beliefs, and your beliefs are influenced by your culture. So if someone can buy control of our cultural media, they can control reality for the general population. And that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. The owning class have literally constrained our ability to imagine and perceive a fair and just world. For example, they spent centuries silencing queer people, and as a result, most people became literally incapable of perceiving a nonbinary person. When they looked at someone like Me, they would see a man or a woman instead. Their foundational perception was and is distorted.
For a revolution against the owning class to be successful, we need not just to destroy the state apparati of physical control, but also of mental control. We need to destroy the belief in a capitalist cisheteropatriarchal reality. https://soulism.net

Wow, you made short work of that strawman! Problem is, this thread is old and we’re deep in a thread, so nobody else is reading this. There are only two people listening to this conversation. Now, obviously a strawman fallacy won’t persuade Me, so I must conclude that you were using that strawman for your own satisfaction, to feel like you’ve won the argument in your own mind, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Which is pretty hypocritical, given you were just making fun of that sort of behaviour.

I sure can believe anything, I can believe whatever I want. I take choice, agency, and responsibility over My worldview. While realists take no agency and no accountability, they take no active part in shaping their perceptual world. I choose My perception based on My moral compass, but realists can be manipulated into believing anything.

Sure, why not? Here, https://multiverse.soulism.net/post/67924/comment/535398. This Lemmy user said if you believe in gods, you think you’re right and others are wrong, and that leads to a dogmatic mindset. Now, reality obviously has all the same qualities as a god in this context, so although I don’t personally believe religion leads to dogma, I’m happy to cite you at yourself and ask that you take your own advice and believe in no absolute truth.

Yeah, and that’s why realists who believe in an objective reality are stupid. They won’t admit they’re wrong no matter how much evidence is stacked against them.
- Comment on Unconventional strategy. 1 day ago:
That’s not true. I believe in gods and I’m n antirealist. I think everything is subjective and we should kill the idea of one objective reality.

Your posts are changing from being funny memes to being semi aggressive taunts about your identity. It seems like for you the question of your identity is a game for you and something that you’re using for attention

We don’t need to worry about those because they’re already meteorites. We only have to worry about them while they’re meteors.

In two anonymous surveys of CSAM consumers in the community, most (50–64 %) reported that they first viewed CSAM by accident, often while searching for other material online (Insoll et al., 2021; Napier et al., Forthcoming). The present study aims to build on this research by examining whether (a) accidental first exposure to CSAM can lead to subsequent intentional viewing and how often this occurs, and (b) first time intentional CSAM viewers are more likely to continue to view intentionally.
Respondents who intentionally searched for CSAM at first exposure (versus those who said they discovered it by accident) had 2.5 times the odds of viewing CSAM intentionally after first exposure (see Table 2). However, a substantial proportion of accidental first-time CSAM viewers went on to view CSAM intentionally (44.0 %, 167). Specifically, 144 of 284 males (50.7 %) and 15 of 76 females (19.7 %) who first discovered CSAM by accident said they then went on to view it intentionally. Hence, clarifying research question 3, that accidental first-time discovery of CSAM does lead to subsequent intentional viewing in some individuals.
Accidental exposure to CSAM led to subsequent intentional viewing for a sizeable proportion of respondents. While all genders are exposed to CSAM, males are more likely to be exposed and intentionally view it again after first exposure. Nevertheless, a quarter of female CSAM viewers also viewed CSAM intentionally after first exposure. Intervention initiatives that aim to prevent onset and escalation of CSAM consumption in the community should target all genders and consider the predictors identified in this study.
There’s your study. You mentioned video games causing violence. Video games may not cause violence, but video games sure cause video games. People who try out a game and like it go on to become gamers. People who see child porn and like it go on to become CSAM offenders. Once a person becomes a regular CSAM consumer, there’s a higher chance they go to the dark web and pay someone for this content. And at that point, we can see genuine harm.

Nah, I reject the notion that all animation must mature into live action. Animation is the best artform for action scenes and showcasing the impossible. That’s why every Marvel movie goes from live action in the beginning and middle, to an expensive CGI fight at the end. Marvel movies are evolving into animation. But they’re taking a really bad route to get there, in that they start with live action and thus feel beholden to photorealism. If they would have just gone with animation from the beginning, then they could save money and dodge the uncanny valley by going with a stylised artstyle.
I want more animated cartoon Star Trek with an unrealistic artstyle and 22 minute episodes. And I want 50 episode seasons of cartoon trek!

Okay, so Troy and Abed, two community college students, told a scary story where two military pilots crash landed in the woods by a mad scientist’s cabin. The scientist (depicted as their elderly friend Pierce) sewed them together while they were unconscious from the crash. But what he didn’t realise is that connecting their brains together gave them psychic powers. So then they did weird surgery on him for revenge. They put his butt on his chest and swapped his hands and feet. This is him after he wakes up from the surgery.

I thought we already had 3 seasons of classic star trek? I’m kinda tired of classic star trek tbh. Make the sequel to Lower Decks! I wanna see Bradward and Beckett mentor the next next next generation!

I learned a lot of what I know about the current state of things from Lemmy. Reading ordinary news will get you that knowledge, but you have to read between the lines. Let’s do an example.
If we go to boingboing.net (My favourite news site) we see the headline Roblox will now have AI politely rewrite your trash talk. That seems like a cute silly story about games, but let’s use our brains to look for edge cases. AI is bad with nuance, so what happens if a 12 year old uses Roblox to tell their friends they’ve been feeling suicidal? This AI might cut off their access to peer support. That’s going to negatively impact groups that suffer youth suicidality, like queer youth. That angle isn’t explored on the page, you have to go to the comments on a place like Lemmy or use your noodle to find it.
I learned how to critically think about the news in school. In high school English and social science they made us read the news and critically analyse it like that.
