Anti-speech laws are spreading from states to Congress, and the future of online speech could hang in the balance
What is with the enshitification of everything this last year? Is it because we didn’t actively overthrow the government through the Trump bs? People realize they can actually do whatever they want and 50 ish percent of the country agrees based off of tribalism, 45% just don’t give a shit and the last 5% don’t really matter? They realized we are all cattle. No matter how mad we get, we have no choice in the system we are in. The fucking boomers/gen xers really set themselves up to be a bunch of selfish twats with no real repercussions.

Close, it’s because they did it, failed, and (so far) suffered no consequences for doing so. Pretty well signaled that it’s open season for pulling whatever dystopian totalitarian crap you want and the worst that can happen is it won’t work.

It’s just so accurate at describing what’s going on everywhere
Because it’s a good new term to describe something people had been on some level noticing but hadn’t had a word for.
I think this is the guy who coined it but maybe not the article he initially coined the term https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
“Protect the children” only from the things we deem bad. If they are homeless, hungry, live with parents who struggle to put food on the table? “Nah, they need to pull themselves by their bootstraps” I hate the GOP with a burning passion
Any bills labeled “protect the children” is never for protecting children. Same with anything titled “freedom.”
“What if we just call it the other thing? The one people like?”
“… my god.”
You are far too charitable to the GOP. They let school shootings happen for the sake of political gain, and they’re actively pushing for child labor and restricting control over your own body.
Reminder they give zero fucks about children. They want to spread fascism to the internet for everyone in the name of children, but they have zero issues with elementary schoolers getting gunned down and legalizing child labor. Party of small government btw.
