    The Palantir threat model specifically says only a fringe will put up a fight right now.

    There’s a projected line in the sand where people stand up, but so long as you stay on one side, you’re safe, and the scary thing is, you can push that line and it will move.

    The plan is to be super aggressive now to move the line, then 12 months from now to act all domestic abuser who regrets it and love bombing to cancel out most of the anger before the midterms.

    In their defense, this is exactly how Reagan did it and it worked.

        This is the interesting part!

        We Americans believe we are all blessed by the holy aura of freedom and democracy.

        These models were trained on 3rd world countries.

        Let’s see how far they work, maybe we really are just as weak and corrupt as those we hold in contempt.

          not an american thing. product of global culture, generally. the kids (and to a lesser extent, the middle aged) are a lot more aware of abuse dynamics specifically. I don’t think it’s just america.

          americans are ABSOLUTELY as weak as those they hold in contempt. corrupt… depends on their politics; the left holds some pretty intensely corrupt bastards in contempt.
