“Its neat! You never really see one ‘a these. Just trying’ to keep my mind alive, you know”

Tatooed on my chest like Leonard Shelby from Momento

No. As much as there are cynical takes about accelerationism by us tankies, no.

Capitalism in a state of crisis cranks up the dial on fascism. Shit is going to get really bad for a whole lot of people who don’t have the power to survive the violence of an unashamedly fascist state.

People being snatched up and disappeared to other countries, is a bad thing.

People being unable to get a job or healthcare due to being a member of one minority group or another is a bad thing.

Destroying the systems that try to keep our food and water safe(ish) to eat and drink is a bad thing.

Destroying universal vaccination programs and seeing outbreaks of diseases that were considered contained to the point of being erradicated is a bad thing.

There is not enough of a coherent “left” in the USA to be the vanguard that marshalls the workers you think are going to be comrades against Trump, Fascism, and ultimately Capitalism.

Don’t go there unless you want violent communist revolution

I mean, it doesn’t have to be violent but beggars can’t be choosers.

Trump, bringing back manufacturing to the America(s).

Find some place… as an example, hexbear’s instance has c/slop… to drop a link to the offending user’s comment or post and whatever happens… happens.

You’ve got the option of Reporting the post/comment to the moderators. Which will require you knowing the moderation rules of the community in question to take advantage of.

Short bullet point/talking point responses. Replies with things like, “This is racist/sexist/genocide denial/etc”, then disengage. You don’t need to get into a long drawn out comment war/debat bro situation.

Make fun of them for being a goober.

How many years has Russia been bogged down in Ukraine now?

If you find yourself in a situation where you decide to (or need to) lie, why wouldn’t you keep doing it?

Parent assaults you if you give them an honest answer? You will learn really fast to give the “correct” answer even when its a lie.

Working customer service? You will lie constantly because answering truthfully typically gets you attacked by the customer, your supervisor and/or your manager.

Anytime you’ve ever been asked, “How are you doing today?”, and you answered, “Okay.”, you were probably lying.

Not sure how I feel about conflating “dishonest behavior” and “lying” in this article…

In each instance, subjects were able to earn a bonus payment by giving a certain response, knowing that experimenters would not be able to trace whether their response actually represented the truth. That said, researchers were able to estimate the relation between someone’s tendency to lie and their self-reported personality traits.

So… if all I need to do to get more money is just give you the answer “Give me more money”… this is supposed to mean I’m a liar and not a person who needs more money? There was a control group that was asked the same question but without the monetary incentive right?
