Just saying that pointing out there are already some socialist things doesn't convince me we should go full on, which seemed to be his argument. I'm no expert on the definitions, but I think we have some hybrid of things, with a heavy dose of whatever the term is for corporations running things

Ah yes, think you ran this past me before, and it rings somewhat true. I think it kinda underlies the reason I don't hate Trump ad much as I probably should. He seemed to be somewhat of a curveball, at least in 2016. Maybe I've been duped, but I maintain that he was something of an upset to the usual system.

I usually run into demands that I expertly defend my position. Eg, I think the jab was a bad thing and I'm glad I didn't get it. "Give me all the research that proves it, cite sources and prove xyz." Like, I don't care enough about the issue to be an expert, but I followed it reasonably close and made an u formed personal decision. I don't ask for them to explain the exact science of how mRNA vaccines work. Not the best example, but you get idea

I'm not so much interested in vote integrity specifically, but rather some prosecution of dirty dealings. Would like a scenario where both sides attack and expose each other, rather than this state of affairs where nothing ever happens to anyone. Meh, moving on with my attention span

Was very condescending lol.
The specific ask was that I look into Stephen Miller, who is apparently trump's right hand man and pure evil. The fact I knew little to nothing about him specifically, voided my opinions on everything else

2026-07-17 21:03:09 UTC

It's funny, but there's something slightly upsetting about a random person whistling happily. It's very rare, but something about it is objectively annoying. "Oh, look at this person, not a care in the world? Screw them!" Haha...I should work on myself.
As for spewing info at acquaintances, each their own, it doesn't really work for me. If I get genuine interest in one of my pet topics (BTC is best example), then I'll spew stuff, but only if it's more than a passing interest.

Yeah, though I don't get the reference, exactly like that. He had to end with "we're still friends, but please look into xyz when you get a chance and inform yourself..."

It's not possible to reason abstractly or academically with most people about these things. I tried a couple times, but ended up just listening politely so we could move on.

2026-07-17 19:35:45 UTC

- reply

Yeah, it's a friend of mine who i inadvertently wound up by simply stating "you know, I don't hate Trump." I clarified that I'm not some fan, but I don't hate him like many people in my region do. Just that statement, as I feel it's sometimes worth hearing for some, as a reminder that not everyone thinks exactly the same, and he is presumably liked by the majority of voters...
My bad I guess. Had to endure 45 minutes of one sided lecturing before I could steer us back to normal topics.

2026-07-17 19:07:09 UTC

- reply

It's bizarre to me how the slightest expression of opinions with people on a political topic will so often trigger a cascade of lecturing I didn't ask for, which consists of surface level narratives we've all heard (if we pay any attention to media), presented as if they were deeply reasoned about by the individual lecturing me.

They said they'd like to see Mandani or someone like him win next election. I said, something like "oh boy, not me." Then they proceeded to lecture me about socialism like I was a newborn

Had a pretty annoying convo with a "we already have socialism" type the other day which was pretty annoying. They proclaimed "who do you think pays for the roads?" as a big gotcha to me at one point, and I used all my self control to not roll my eyes.

I'm not aware of stories circulating about shenanigans in 2024, though I'm sure there are a few. I'm particularly interested in 2020 though, as it just felt wrong, there was censorship on x for suggesting it was the case in real time, had record turnout, and the whole Jan 6 hoopla which I think got blown out of proportion.
I want both sides to fight and sling mud in this arena, I think it'd be good fun and maybe even expose some stuff

I had a feeling you and other knee-jerk Trump haters would draw such conclusions. And I don't blame you, nor doubt that there's SOME opportunism. But, I do think it's overdo we get something exposed and investigated on this, as I'm fairly sure there was serious chicanery in 2020. Hopefully a lil disinfectant gets splashed around from both parties. Have only seen a couple docs so far on Twitter, so will have to see what they're giving us before I get too excited

Interesting. Many seem to be at large 4-way intersections though, on all 4 sides, where I'd imagine they capture the area surrounding each other. Maybe I'll look for more details on the ones being vandalized, but something tells me they're no exception. Maybe it's just too much hassle to play detective on these events

Agree it's mind boggling to imagine anyone who'd want mass surveillance, yet we're led to believe our representatives are executing the will of the people. I'm liking this trend of vandalism that I read was going on with flock. Hope it spreads, though I'm still puzzled by how people can get away with it if these things film the intersections from all angles.

Similarly, a lone camera capturing data in a public space isn't a big deal, but a flock of them is.
