  • The problem is not what policies I support.

    The problem is aunt Ben that lives in the middle of nowhere. Who hates the gays and communists. But lives paycheck to paycheck.

    The social left/social right split is about 50%. Some places higher, some lower. But there is a LOT of working people. And most of those will not vote against their own interests. It’s only when they have to choose between “not my best interest, but at least there won’t be drag queens in my son’s school” and “probably my best interest, but they also want to put drag queens in my son’s school. So they’re probably lying about the good things, politicians always lie”. They’ll choose the latter.

    It doesn’t matter that there is no political party that wants to put drag queens in schools. It is only important that aunt Ben thinks that is true.

    If you focus on the economy, and ignore the social left, will the left gain enough votes to have power.

    Only when you have power you can slowly go for the social issues.

    This is what the right has done in the US. They’ve been claiming they’ll bring the good economy, and just leave the social issues as they were before. Slowly the US economy has drifted rightwards. So much so that the only 2 parties are economic right. So now it is the time to turn the social right on. They went full fascism and are killing the minorities and whoever supports them in protest.

    Just follow the same playbook. “We’re leaving the rules as they are, we won’t engage in discussions about culture wars”, “but we’re gonna tax the rich and give US citizens universal healthcare”. Once both parties are pro-universal healthcare, go for public transport, then anti-anti-union measures. And once the economy is leftwing enough, you can start with the culture wars.










  • For AR you need to be recording. If you are recording, it is being sent to Facebook servers. You accepted Facebook’s terms and conditions, not me.

    If you don’t want to be punched, you should advocate for laws that make the glasshole glasses ugly through non-avoidable methods of detecting if the glasses are recording.

    For example by requiring every glass hole glass to have a physical cover that physically covers the view of the camera, and it should be a bright color to easily see if it is covering the camera or not. The contour of the camera should be painted with an equally bright color, contrasting highly with the cover. So you can easily see if the cover is covering it completely.

    A led that turns on when recording is not enough, it’s very easy to remove a led from a device.

    If you want to not use glass hole glasses for evil, you should want it to be mandatory for other people to see if you’re using it for evil or not.
