Quite the catastrophizing there. I sympathise. I too have CPTSD [Edit: incidentally, in part, from nearly being democided by Nazis]. Much to heal yet.

It’s plausible Daryl Davis’s contacts could proliferate better ideas within the system, since they’ll know many more nazis yet. Flexes the degrees of separation, see? More opportunities to spread the seeds of curiosity to dispel the ignorant hate. Flaps the butterfly wings to make storms around the world. Handy to have that “work smarter” tool in the toolbox.

I’m not sure why you want to dissuade from having such in the toolbox. It seems a better win, to not just end a Nazi, but gain an ally. And it’s not like killing Nazis has a de-Nazifying effect on the Nazi’s loved ones. More likely to make them double down, for violent vengeance, contributing to the escalating cycle of reciprocal violence and the psychology to dominate. Might not be the best way. Lucky the toolbox holds more than just a hammer. … A hammer that may as well be labelled Nazi, with which to end Nazis by. I’m not sure if out-Nazi’ing Nazi’s even gets us less Nazis. Just different ones.

Would like to know more about the figures… like who’s managing to end more Nazis than Daryl Davis has, and using what method, to what type of results?

And to what level of which abilities required… so that perhaps more people can contribute. Because I doubt many people have it in them to be a rifleman at the wall. … And how do we get the Nazis to the wall? We’re to use the rule of law, and not just a rabid witch hunt for anyone who an accuser has a grievance of? I thought that system was already raddled with them. This hammer’s getting fiddly to wield, once thinking it through past the immediate angry catharsis of the idea.

[Has worked quite well for me. Though I couldn’t put numbers on it, like Daryl Davis can. They’re not pigeons. That’s a flawed analogy, only further revealing your confirmation bias and dehumanising prejudice.]

I guess we should tell Daryl Davis to stop too, similarly citing the past years of having doing so proving to work well, and just continue to dehumanise and smear those he’d speak to, as beyond help, and ignore the hundreds he’s converted from the KKK and Nazi party, by just talking with them.

Or… maybe try it, persistently, non-hostile, not becoming them, not reaffirming their noxious combative ways back to them, instead of just hatefully dehumanising them, instead of reaffirming to them that they are their rotten ideas, instead of censoring and isolating and banning them to their echo chamber and you to yours, instead of all that polarising groupthink nonsense, just keep exposing them to better ways of being, and seeing that neither you, nor any of the targets of their misguided hate, are the monsters they imagine in their ignorance.

Every non-human species is speciesist!?

More chance of that if offered, than not.

I’d rather offer refutations and sound cogent counter-arguments, than leave them to run off unchallenged, doubling down with a sense of being right and up against the evil censors, conspiring in whatever echo chamber of bigotry they then find themselves welcomed to.

I was told recently that there’s no such thing as racism against white people, and that, contrary to the definition of the word, racism really means something that involves an imbalance of power, and it’s not racism if using the broadest brush to blame anyone of similar skin colour as the oppressor’s skin colour, and that this skin colour is only white. :3

So by this newspeak, so long as those English accents are uttered from people with light skin tones, it can’t be racist. So, shout and jeer your crude cliche impressions against the item of the hour of hate all you want. It’s doubleplus. ;D

Mad world.

“Was there hate in your heart?” – Reginald Darnell Hunter

Was there fear?

Edit 1: I am NOT defending conservative views, I think that they should not be given a platform in the fediverse.

So you’d rather eliminate their voice to conserve the status quo here?

Are you sure you’re NOT doing that?

This may, to some, sound naive, but, perhaps worth considering:

Do what you love.

Do what energises you, fulfils you.

Alongside learning about recovery from burnout and trauma, this^ may help prevent succumbing to burnout again.

“If it’s not a “heck yeah”, it’s a “heck no””.

Non-dogmatically. Flexibly. Follow the flow.

And rest. Rest is good. Rest is necessary. Rest takes as long as it takes, and if in recovery from burnout, it takes twice as long as it seems (~ meaning once you first think you’re out of burnout, it takes as long resting to heal again yet). Cast aside any programmed guilt for resting. It’s necessary “put your own seat-belt on first”, to be able to safely help others.

Don Barlow’s (easy to read) books may help with trauma too.

And there are countless perspectives and insights out there, into supporting your biology through stress. Adaptogens, neurogens, cannabinoids, peptides, enzymes, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and amino-acids, and other nutrients and therapeutics.

Thanks. Didn’t know about web.de. Shall have a look.

None.

“Unbiased”

Would be an implausible absolute judgement showing my own bias and ignorance of my bias.

Cannot escape bias. Cannot eliminate it. Can only be aware and honest of it, at best.

Imagine where we’d be already if Nikola Tesla had his way.

Certainly not being hosed of all wealth, to enrich an oligarch, keeping us down, on the lie that the oligarch’s our saviour.

Microdosing, to me, means microdosing. Not low dosing.

If you want it to stay effective, and not build tolerance, and whatever other skewed bio-homeostasis effects, I suggest go down to single figure mg, or, even as the name suggests, into micrograms range. Try 100x-1000x less. Maybe try a break for months to reset to make microdosing effective again.

Can boost wellbeing/parasympathetic/braingrowth/healing effects with adaptogens (like ashvagandha) and other neurogens (like lion’s mane mushroom/mycelia), and cannabinoids (like max dose CBD, 1200mg), and vitamins (whatever you’re missing, fat soluble, B, C, etc) and magnesium (glycinate). This will keep it working good, better, for longer.

Have you noticed that the more the government prohibits, the worse it does for itself?

About prohibition, I have noticed:

"Prohibition does not prevent. Prohibition makes the good things bad and the bad things worse."

Way to hand something over to the black market where the only regulation, the only control, is the market, now inflamed by the forbidden fruit effect, making it more wanted, more expensive, and more polluted and lower quality. Orwellian language not withstanding, it’s not a controlled substance. And it’s not a taxed substance.

Gotta wonder about the incentives. The corruption. Someone’s doing better for themselves.

no

Yaaaaaay.

Does this mean we can get the real "Tesla"s soon?

Nikola Tesla style tech, not Tesla Corporation style tech. Emanipatory tech, not rentier tech. Spaceships for everybody, not cars and rockets for the rich enough.

No? It doesn’t mean that? Aw.

It’s everywhere. They brought it from their previous home.

But, one aspect…

Mods banning anyone who does not chirp their party line [and deletes any posts/comments offering different perspectives], creates echo chambers and confirmation biases that recursively self re-affirm, drilling deeper into groupthink, mass formation, and totalitarianised psyche.

It didn’t start here. And it won’t end here.

So glad to see that the state of Linux as a technology is now such that people in their very late 60’s who are almost entirely non-technical can not only use a Linux system as a daily driver on more than one computer, but enjoy using it :)

It’s been my impression that it has been like that for at least 23 years, when I started using it.

There has just been a lot of misinformation smearing it as somehow hard, or only for technically minded people. Never been hard for me, and I don’t consider myself technically minded, but, others do, in circular reasoning [because I use linux, I must be technically minded, ~] that it’s hard to disabuse them of, until you get them sat in front of some linux systems, and they can see for themselves how cushy the community have made it for them, in any of many ways.

It’s the freedom that matters. Not the kernel. Not the convenience of better software. The licenses. Free to use, study, share, change, as you wish. That’s a lot of wide open innovation potential, from that essential 4 freedoms. We got here because of those freedoms. And we’ve been here a long time. [Decades]. They tried to smear freedom, fearing they’d lose their abuse victims. Bye bye corporate proprietary software developers. The truth’s getting out… Freedom’s here, and it’s nice. No abuse gets to persist, when we’re free to create a version of the thing doing the abuse, with the abuse removed. :)
