because they are fundamentally cowardly

i hope we can stare them down but the *fascism* is the band aid cure for all the real shit we still have to figure out, however:
I BELIEVE IN US

we should still make a registry of narcoleptics. why take a chance?

polearmguy.bsky.social•1 day ago

what are they dreaming about, why do they need to do it so urgently

makeitsnow.bsky.social•2 days ago

they understand that more people remember the lie than the correction, and they’ve used that principle to great effect. but they don’t seem to recognize the corollary: more people remember the announcement than the cancellation

They talk a big game, but they're ultimately weak people.

We know that a magician distracts with large gestures of one hand to distract from the other.
The funny difference here is, that the magician performs two tricks at the same time. So calling out one trick still means falling for the distraction of the other. Calling out none means falling for both.

makeitsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

respectfully, there are no distractions. all of this is real, all of it is bad, and there’s no reason we can’t call all of it out

herrschmidt.bsky.social•1 day ago

The reason is calling it out takes so much more effort than producing it. This is why their plans seem so dumb - because losing a good plan would mean they made a bad investment. By just investing in bad plans, they can produce infinite amounts of that nonsense. The distractions *are* the thing.

are you telling me that you don’t think kennedy and bhattacharya genuinely intended to create an autism registry

herrschmidt.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am telling you that they want everything they propose, no matter how dumb, brutish or nonsensical. But their ideas form herds like deer or schools like fish, so that whenever you manage to kill one, it still served at protecting the others. I point out a problem, not a solution.

makeitsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

the solution is simply to keep chopping

Keep holding their feet to the fire. Fight back. They are cowards at the end of the day and fear the torches and pitchforks.

Good. It seemed like a HIPAA violation. Also creepy like when Hitler sent people into the north measuring people’s heads to find the origins of the Caucus race. Really disturbing.

my cynical inner voice says they might just carry on with it, only in private.

makeitsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

it’s always possible. unfortunately we can’t be sure of stopping them from doing every bad thing they want to do, but if they’re hiding it, they’re afraid they might face consequences, and we gotta at least put that fear in them

alldardenodisco.bsky.social•1 day ago

amen to that, face the bullies head on. thay are, indeed, cowards.

asmeh.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are intentionally pushing the boundaries.
They want to push them even further. The resistance is the only thing preventing them from testing it all down.

makeitsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

they are increasingly finding they can’t push as hard as the people pushing back
