I want AI gooners to be trapped in private than to be out harrassing anyone. I think it's a much less harmful alternative than finding someone to pay for services or trapping some poor person in a relation. Watching am incel get mad at a woman because they don't follow anime logic is reallly uncomfortable.

    I just started using obsidian. It's perfect for starting new projects because even when you don't finish, you don't have to completely restart.

    Good notes are great, but only if you can find them. For half a year, my notes were just the date. It became an issue when I needed to remember a project I worked on in March but didn't finish. Having links and screenshots and visually seeing relations between ideas has made it much easier to pause and come back later.

    I feel like the holocaust is just publicity for the zionist. All the politicians here take money from AIPAC.

    I had a holocaust section each year after 5th grade passed between history and english classes. This has made me keenly aware of the depravity occurring in Gaza.

    They expect the programming to shield them into perpituity as we watch them commit the same acts we were raised to have disgust for. I never learning a thing about jews or israel, no explanation for the nazi's hatred.

    I remember in college there was always a weird old man holding a "save palestine" poster during football games back on 2017. That was really the only time I saw hints of an issue, which I ignored because I just thought he was a crazy homeless.

    It's shocking to me that Isreal culture is so tolerant for evil. It makes humanity feel more predictable, easy to manipulate, almost animal. No values or principles able to stop a modern genocide. It's numbing.

    I remember learning about Malcolm X years after school.

    We are peaceful people, we are loving people. We love everybody who loves us. But we don’t love anybody who doesn’t love us. We’re nonviolent with people who are nonviolent with us. But we are not nonviolent with anyone who is violent with us.

    Schools really failed me here. Never really helping understand why the need for protest. It was about buses and drinking fountains, not systematic poverty, gerry mandering, or violence.

    I decided to read his wiki since I still don't know enough. I found this:

    "the same white supremacy that lynches Black people in America bombs villages in the Congo and bulldozes homes in Palestine."

    Malcolm X, 1964.

    The terms of his assassination in 1965 are unclear, going all the way to 2023 with his family in 2023 suing CIA, FBI, and NYPD for concealing details. Feels like things haven't really changed.

    I feel mixed feelings. I don't think someone can silently be against war crimes and genocide. He seems less edgy. I like his new stuff. Still, he preaches about reading philosophy. He promotes reading books. You would think enlightenment would spark the desire to push change in the world. It's a deliberate silence from one of the most influential people of our time. I just think he's right wing at best.
