Back in my day we called it putting up an away message on instant messenger

One such trend, sadfishing, is raising concern, particularly among teenagers. The term, which researchers defined in the Journal of American College Health in 2021, refers to social media users who “exaggerate their emotional state online to generate sympathy.@ it could be in the form of a sad photo, an ominous quote, or a vague post

everyone on mastodon dresses like this, but they think they're dressed normally

a person with a blonde beard and upturned whiskers sitting on a bicycle. they're wearing a gnome cap, a short-sleeved shirt, and thigh high socks all with vertical black and white stripes, and a pair of purple crocs. the bicycle is also striped and has various of odd, curved protrusions radiating out

    i don't have a lot of respect for anyone still trying to 'fiscally conservative, socially liberal' the israeli–palestinian conflict this deep into grievous crimes against humanity. they're digging hospital patients out of a mass grave. a million people face death & starvation in rafah after being promised safe passage. sorry your overriding hatred of muslims compels you to try to divest yourself of committing to the easiest moral stance possible

    when the camera jiggles in a jason bourne movie, that's because the cameraman is getting shaken to death like a baby behind it. to add realism

    such a particular cultural moment that saw these films as the more 'realistic' alternative to james bond. instead of cool gadgets that do w/e the plot demands, they have computers that do whatever the plot demands. totally different!

    thinking about the ai-generated video of a 'chameleon changing colour' where the chameleon did not, in fact, change colour. you already could lie about what a video depicts you don't need to burn a rainforest to do it

    palworld being accused of using ai b/c some of the designs in it look similar to official poḱemon is a fine example of the real harm 'ai' has done: the way the marketing behind it has got some people's brain in a twist

    it's actually a curse to be this correct all the time, with my magazine

    What is the ‘good’ art protagonists of the reactionary view want? First of all it is representative. It must look like something: it must be interpretable on the surface level. It must not confuse, must not present any space for ambiguity. For art to be ‘challenging’ is for the reactionary view a moral ill. Second, it is affirming. Thee reactionary goes to the gallery (supposing he does) to be amazed, perhaps, but ultimately to be put at ease. When a gamer sights a woman or a minority in a video game, they deplore this as lack of ‘realism’ — realism, in a game about dragons or space aliens? What they mean, precisely, is that the game does not extend their sense of reality. It does not affirm their ideology. Thee reactionary wants art that presents the political structures they rely on as apolitical givens. Therefore it can present no appearance of having a politic — any suggestion it could must be excoriated — because to the reactionary the only politic is the enemy’s politic, their own being simply ‘how reality is’. So, then, for art to reflect and represent reality means for it to reaffirm the reactionary view of reality.

    most 'classic' conspiracy theories — positing huge implausible covert webs of influence behind seemingly disparate events and groups — mostly come from a refusal to commit to class analysis

    esvrld OP ,
    @esvrld@octodon.social avatar

    like obviously the rich and powerful are out to get you — that's capitalism. but when your ideology itself is built on capitalism it becomes cognitively cheaper, so to speak, to instead imagine there's a huge masonic-catholic-jewish alliance behind it all

    esvrld OP ,
    @esvrld@octodon.social avatar

    there is also a lot less of a border between this line of thinking and the idea that there are 'good' and 'bad' forms of capitalism. 'crony capitalism' tends to be 2 or 3 steps removed from outright anti-semitism; because when you imagine there is or was a primal form of 'pure', 'true' capitalism that was corrupted by a nefarious, profit-grabbing element, you might as well go all the way, right

    esvrld OP ,
    @esvrld@octodon.social avatar

    i've said before i don't like the term 'conspiracy theory' because it both implies a unity that doesn't exist (someone who believes the moon is an alien spaceship is unlikely to believe the earth is flat) and hides the way many 'conspiracy theories' are in fact just manifestations of ur-fascism

    esvrld OP ,
    @esvrld@octodon.social avatar

    there's this implicit idea many people have that there is a sort of a slider from normal people who believe in normal things to crazy people who believe in weird things, and everyone at a particular point on the slider believes in the same things. this, obviously, is just another way for liberal ideology to evade scrutiny by laundering itself as natural or self-evident
