I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”
Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"
DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

“Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were not the same person…..the appeal of a ridiculous assumption like ‘one family was responsible for decades worth of civil wars’ stems from the need to impose simplicity on complex historical events….”

I get the point that's trying to be made here, but it's actually inaccurate. The *MAJORITY* of actual practitioners in the tech industry have a position that is neither of these, it's merely getting drowned out by these two loud positions. The most common belief in the tech industry is simple:

AI will definitely make this worse, but this isn't new to AI. I mean this SMBC is from 2017.
This is more an issue of critical thinking than anything else.

Disagree completely, fascism is all about aesthetic and core to that aesthetic is being tough and strong, no one looks tough or strong staring down a weirdo in an inflatable frog - a confrontational, violent approach on the other hand gives them exactly what they want - "see they are violent thugs"
as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE.
why is that?
what purpose does this serve?

I have no opinion about the Maine Senate primary but "my guy is a world-historic political talent, and if he gets a primary opponent this is tantamount to him being forced out of the race" is a singularly unpersuasive argument
my man, nobody is "sure to win" against Susan Collins, she is literally one of the most talented & successful Republican politicians of the last 60+ years. anyone who says ANY Democrat is a sure thing in Maine clearly has no clue what the fuck they're talking about other than their own vibes.
