Would love to see someone with the influence of Musk get this started.

I like @wjmaggos he usually ends up getting piled on due to the fact that he's willing to participate in this side of the fediverse but this is how the fediverse could be if fediblock didn't exist.
Healthy conversations and the free exchange of ideas should be the norm. I think censorship has put up natural barriers to people's ability/willingness to engage.
Good ideas win absent of censorship.

We're getting into nuances of words at this point.
Romney was "right" but he's the same spirit animal as Kamala.

> Power for the regime is not a lefty thing.
🤝
> I don't think we can look at either party to know what's left or right.
Also true, because they are both aligned with ensuring power for the regime. Sometimes they fight over scaps of that power. Sometimes they switch positions on things.
Cause their highest interest is power, not the local community, not the society.

The reaction in context is wild:
"Whoopsie doopsie! Looks like a slight training issue caused us to accidentally discriminate against citizens based on political affiliation during a catastrophic natural disaster!
Well gosh darn, you know?
We'll have to try and do better next time for sure!"

The action they will take is to ensure next time there is no record of it anywhere as evidence.
"Unbelievable to think the gov would think this is OK"

Remember that lady that was in charge of the GOP for years and they kept losing everywhere and now she's gone and they won?

> so what lefty things do they really care about that you've seen them break the illusion to push on their audience?
Power for the regime.
A great specific example is RINOs.
Fox loves them.
Romney, Cheney, the Bush family, etc. Fox hates Trump.
Like the entire GOP institution, Fox stands for what the Democrats want, but more slowly.

That's how controlled opposition works.
You give them the little things you don't care about so that you have their ear on the things you do care about.

The thing about slandering half the country with labels:
Seems you've got two likely outcomes eventually..
1. They start to believe you, and accept that they are what you say, thereby confirming your fears.
2. They no longer care about that thing, and the label loses influence and people stop caring generally about your label

You need people to focus on "be nice" if you don't want them to stand up to people who do bad things.
I'm just going to copy-paste this post by @sj_zero because I have nothing to add:
> At Newcorp, the company running Fox News, employee donations skew wildly towards Kamala Harris, with the #1 recipient of funds by a wide margin being Kamala Harris in 2024. Donald Trump got less than 1/10th of the donations from Newcorp employees.

"It's all performative.
You're watching Democrats pretend to be Republicans, largely for the benefit of other Democrats."

Some people I actually like are really struggling to understand how Trump could win, and I write up a big post explaining, then delete it because what's the point? I'll just get blocked and called a nazi anyway.
Which is why a lot of people are struggling to understand how Trump could win.
