Stable: A stable equilibrium of many separate anchors so that the inevitable shakeups in facts or your understanding do not pose a problem you can’t cope with by drawing on the other anchors.

Those of us are wrong, then. Fascism isn’t some inherently abstract force of nature, it’s people and organizations of people. Those social structures can be disrupted, and the major question whose answer determines the means of disruption is whether the earlier responses were appropriately timed and powered.

I prefer the situation where fascist-attitude people are individuals who need treatment rather than one where fascism is not just an attitude of individuals but a structural problem requiring e.g. law enforcement involvement or even a full-societal issue requiring outside military involvement.

Didn’t they largely leave to join the BSW querfront? I actually don’t know the numbers, but at least some of the more prominent RF aligned people left the Left.

The ease with which they can build such structures would go down. Building while hiding is harder than building while not having to hide.

Having central coordination, for example in the form of a party or some other form of organization, means that strategic goals can be planned for and resources acquired and allocated in a more efficient manner. The previous bigger neonazi party, the NPD, fulfilled that role for quite a while.

Organizations and people are not that interchangeable for these purposes. Workflows, institutional memory, leadership all matter. That’s why targeted assassinations of leadership even in cell-like structures can meaningfully disrupt e.g. terrorist organizations’ effectiveness. Similar things can be accomplished by simply disrupting business-as-usual.

The GIGO pipeline: Sure, it’s garbage, but hear me out! What if we increased the throughput?

The fastest way do get from A to B is not a straight line but to bone C.

Or they are geodesics in non-euclidian space.

I… don’t know what this implies.

There’s a series called The Bite, it was filmed during earlier quarantine times of the ongoing pandemic and features a bunch of cast from The Good Fight. Is good.

Ah, because of the pro eugenics position in the movie? I dunno, I feel like they’d like for there to be more “past good, present degeneracy” type narratives around.

You’re mad that someone investigates and elaborates on causes of why using llm marketing bullshit is a bad idea? Weird.

Hey now, LLMs are AI!
