We all lost, dumbass. You're not messaging us from another planet, are ya?

PS: Except for maybe Musk, etc. Or maybe they just don't know it yet.

This level of ignorance and spite is obscene and absolutely terrifying. This person is basically willing to let the whole world burn in the name of preventing a genocide that obviously won't be prevented but made even worse when the world starts burning. Out of spite.

Absolutely terrifying.

Whole lot of conjecture and presumtions, barely any substance to reply to.

Have a good one. Make sure you stay away from that "democrat propaganda".

Here's the thing though - more than one thing can be true at the same time (some people even say that three things can be true at the same time - shoking, I know).

DNC incompetent? Sure.

How about not voting against a fascist because "DNC incompetent"? Sounds like "a heady mix of stupidity and sense of entitlement".

I absolutely agree that propaganda and misleading information in general has a significant impact and most people don't have the neccessary literacy skills to navigate conteporary information environments. And to be fair - they're not easy to navigate. However, I do not agree that "they [people] are not to blame" in that ultimately adults must take responsibility (and blame) for their own actions and words, even if they are victims of disinformation or other types of misleading content. Because to argue the opposite would basically take away any responsibility from wrongdoing (intentional or otherwise) and would also mean that justice systems based on rule of law are meaningless and unnessary. Which is obviously not true.

We can't have a stable system of governance where nobody can be blamed because everyone is some manner of stupid, ignorant, misled, uneducated about something, etc. Such a system simply wouldn't be able to work in practice for the reasons I mention above.

Mind you, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't study or aknowledge the power that conditioning and misleading information have on collective political perceptions, and try to counter that as far as possible. But that is very different from saying "they are not to blame" and absolving people of their decisions and actions. It is a catch-22 but that is what the human condition ultimately is.

You cannuse the Glimpse extension for Google Trends to see absolute values of search popularity.

Your logic completely nullifies human capacity for agency and thus makes no sense whatsoever. Conditioning is important but it does not negate responsibility. Not yet anyway...

Damn, that's a whole lot of rationalization. Newsflash - Boris Yeltsin and Kamala Haris are not analogous.

There is a point you're trying to make. Make it.

Thank you, I will take this into consideration. It sure is tempting to use LLMs but I will always trust experts in the field over LLMs.

Like I keep saying - time doesn't ipso facto make you wise. Wisdom is something you earn with hard work and dedication to intellectual honesty. It does not simply come with time and you are yet another great example of this.

Pretending like elections in North Korea and the USA are comparable is either very ignorant or wholly disingenuous.

The limitations didn't target a nationality, they targetted sanctioned entities. And you know this because it has been made clear throughout this thread, including in numerous replies to your own comments. So you are demonstrably and obviously disingenious, not engaging in good faith or have yourself been misled. This behavior logically leads people to the conclusion that you are either being deliberately manipulative or you are confused and have been deliberately manipulated. Sadly, the end result is the same in both cases and regardless of your intention.

I wish you the best. We should all be a lot more dedicated to intellectual honesty.
