your second last paragraph seems out of place, are you entirely sure in knowing that I see certain things as problematic?
anyway the described phenomenon is not uniquely assignable to any particular implementation of authoritarianism. you would have to specify further to make the case for fascism. I'm pretty sure communists are happy to deploy cults of personality, a class which the parent child model can be seen as belonging to. labelling one side while ignoring that the other side behaves similarly makes it look like politics are more important to you than solving root issues.
based on the tragedy of the commons, some degree of personal involvement is required to maximise work productivity, otherwise all human concern is nongenuine/performatory. however absolute power corrupts absolutely, specifically due to personal involvement, hence your proposed system of governance will not arise unless it is powerful enough to systematically overcome a ruling class with the sole goal of never relinquishing power. so maybe you're right?
the west is in full scale culture annihilation mode. links from the current generation to their ancestors are constantly sabotaged, forcing the repetition of societal mistakes, thus producing generational suffering to be mined for profits. I wonder how youths behave in the east, and what they consider to be cool. it would be interesting to compare cultural methods of societal programming (eg. the west stifles youth uprising by promoting gangster rap & idolizing petty crime)
did you read any studies that accounted for brain rot short form content vs non brain rot short form content? from my n=1 sample, this content format is universally destructive, regardless as to specific information conveyed
I hoped that my tunnel visioned perspective only applied to that which I could see. to be fair according to another commentor asian kids don't get pushed brain rot, so I suppose there are degrees to this
nothing wrong with the concept of making money, sure. let's look at the specific method that meta uses to make money. meta onsells private information about their platform users, to more accurately program those same platform users, according to commands of those supplying money. this can effectively be seen as slavery coercion (because slaves have no privacy, slaves obey their masters command, and nobody truly wants to be a slave). personally I don't agree with slavery and I don't agree with coercion, so I see plenty wrong with the way that meta makes money by middlemanning slavery. therefore I see your generalization as insidious because it downplays other viewpoints without adding anything.
personally I hope any company involved with child slaughter ends up crashing and burning, i say this because both those companies are buddies with the us department of war (who helped annihilate a school the other day)
"give me a boy until he is seven and I will tell you the man he becomes"
there will be at least 1 entire generation of western kids that spectated short form content on screens since the moment of birth. based on aristotle, this entire generation is going to be retarded. the EU legislature in question enables legal spectation of content exchanged by a generation of the retarded. the optimal path forward seems to be ensuring that the next generation is not retarded, otherwise human extinction will be rapidly accelerated. I don't see how corporate destruction of individual privacy is going to help ensure that the next generation is not retarded.
my bad, thats pretty funny when read correctly. you are correct, it wasn't appropriate of me to have kicked this off here, dang should wipe the whole comment chain. for the record, flipper zero is designed for western kids to wreak internal havoc, product dev applicability is secondary
you are the third responder to engage in distractory tactics instead of addressing the issue. I'm starting to see a pattern. the question remains, are furries lying to the public, or lying to themselves?
the furries near me specifically choose to meet up at a kids playground when there are a million other public spots to choose from. public sexual deviancy has nothing to do with billionaires, trying to drag the conversation away instead of addressing the issue does not do your position any optics favors.
exhibitionism being tied in with the fetish is the first valid explanation I've seen in the thread, I'll be impressed if the furries admit it themselves but so far it seems that name calling and spurious arguments is the best ill get, thanks for helping clarify things
genuinely curious as to what makes people think it's okay to publicly engage in behaviour directly linked to a sexual fetish which links to the article as per the grandparent comment. I specified around the kids because furries near me go out of their way to have their parties exactly where kids have their parties. nobody has to respond to me, that's true. nobody has to call me names either yet here you are.
