#Automated #fascism, the true #designpattern of the #siliconvalley #barons when they cobble together their models.
For instance - #ElonMusk absolutely hates #wikipedia, because it requires "eViDeNcE" and "sOuRcEs" and "fAcTs" and "fAlSiFiAbiLiTy".
How are you supposed to make people trust the lies of #grok if they can easily dismiss it with a single search?
Anyways, #AI as automated #censorship is a direct path to automated fascism.

The currently trendy obsession with being a "#king" is poison.
Buddy, the vast majority of #men throughout human #history—past, present, and future—are not kings. If you think you are, or can be, you don't understand how people function. We're not #knights either. We're #peasants. We're born, we live, we work, we die. Nobody but our friends and families will ever know we existed. When they die too, we will be completely and utterly forgotten.*
The ones who are kings? Or #dukes, or #barons, or knights? Shitheads, by and large. Even the "good ones" turn out to be pretty bad when you look closely. #Rulers need the #people, but people don't need rulers. This is a lesson the world learned through millennia of blood and pain. Those who want to discard that hard-won knowledge are scum.
If that's what you want to be ... okay, thanks for letting us know what you are. We won't forget it.

@futurebird this - so much this.
I have to tell people that #thinktanks, #brainrot and advantageous framing is older than the TV, older than the radio.
The parents of #liberals and #conservatives were the #liberalists, who were groomed by the #aristocracy and the #barons.
Words like #freemarket basically translate to markets controlled centrally by a few monopolists in an exploitative #RaceToTheBottom, where one or several entities become #KingOfTheHole.

This is the point where #liberalization will be replaced with #fascism, as it invariably will lead to, ushering in the old era of #Norway where people are beholden to the #barons, working their asses off and blaming #immigrants for economic and political instability - because the barons told them the immigrants are the REAL problem, creating a cyclical abusive relationship with an oligarchy that really couldn't give a shit about Norway or Norwegian culture.

Early #Italian #Immigrants Were #SecondClass Citizens
March 2020
by Al Bruno"The perilous journey to America in the late 1800s and the early 20th century was extremely difficult for Italian #immigrant families. Worn out and exhausted, most toting an old foot locker and a couple of bags, they hoped for an opportunity to economically improve their family situations in America. Most arrived in stages, following Papa who usually ventured across the Atlantic first to establish citizenship and secure full-time employment.
"'When the Italian began arriving in New York City in large around 1880, they faced fierce competition from the #Irish who resented their working for less money and longer hours. And although they shared the same Catholic faith, Italians were viewed as superstitious because of their devotion to saints, which was expressed in the staging of elaborate feasts,' writes Haydee Camacho in 'Reflections of Irish and Italian Immigration, Animosity, and Eventual Understanding.' 'Irish pastors tried to accommodate their growing Italian communities by offering these Italian immigrants services in the basement of their churches, but pride would not have it. The stalemate led to the building of churches to serve Italians and other new immigrant groups, not only in New York but other major cities in America’s mid and northeastern, major cities.'
"Between 1876 and 1930, most of the five million Italian immigrants came to the U.S. from southern Italy as #FarmLaborers and unskilled workers known as #cantadini. Most of the newly-arrived were confused and lost in America, but earlier immigrants assisted them by introducing the Italians to the padrone, a boss and middleman between the immigrants and the American employers. In 'When America Barred Italians,' Helene Stapinski wrote, 'So our desperate great- and great-great-grandparents came in droves from Italy spurred by the #Industrial #barons in need of #CheapLabor who welcomed them with open arms to America. Often dangerous jobs no one else wanted awaited them. Some, like my relatives, came here illegally, under false names or as stowaways. On one ship alone, 200 stowaways were found.'
[...] "'Lambroso branded the Southern Italians savages and rapists, blaming them for the crime that was on the rise in the United States.' The U.S. Immigration Commission concluded in the infamous Dillingham report, 'Certain kinds of criminality are inherent in the Italian race. In the popular mind, crimes of personal violence, robbery, blackmail and extortion are peculiar to the people of Italy.'
"The #ImmigrationAct of 1924 barred most Italians from coming into the country, causing immigration from Italy to fall 90 percent, even though the vast majority of those coming to America were good, honest-working people and not criminals. There was also growing anti-immigration sentiment that posited the idea that Italians and eastern Europeans were morally unfit to be Americans. Of course, the same argument was made of the Irish. Eventually, this attitude would result in a 1924 federal immigration law that blocked Italians and southern and eastern Europeans from coming to America.
"Italian immigrants were chasing after the 'American Dream' and the 'gold in the streets' they had heard so much of and hoped for when they were growing up and working on the farmlands and vineyards in sunny Italy. Like other immigrant groups, they had sons who honorably served their country in WWII. Hall of famers Rocky Marciano, Lawrence 'Yogi' Berra and Joe DiMaggio, all first-generation Italian Americans, served in the war. These men and many other Italian immigrants persevered through the prejudice and 'second-class' treatment and achieved the '#AmericanDream.'"

@futurebird this - so much this.
I have to tell people that #thinktanks, #brainrot and advantageous framing is older than the TV, older than the radio.
The parents of #liberals and #conservatives were the #liberalists, who were groomed by the #aristocracy and the #barons.
Words like #freemarket basically translate to markets controlled centrally by a few monopolists in an exploitative #RaceToTheBottom, where one or several entities become #KingOfTheHole.

Buddy, the vast majority of #men throughout human #history—past, present, and future—are not kings. If you think you are, or can be, you don't understand how people function. We're not #knights either. We're #peasants. We're born, we live, we work, we die. Nobody but our friends and families will ever know we existed. When they die too, we will be completely and utterly forgotten.*
The ones who are kings? Or #dukes, or #barons, or knights? Shitheads, by and large. Even the "good ones" turn out to be pretty bad when you look closely. #Rulers need the #people, but people don't need rulers. This is a lesson the world learned through millennia of blood and pain. Those who want to discard that hard-won knowledge are scum.
If that's what you want to be ... okay, thanks for letting us know what you are. We won't forget it.

After sight seeing on Tuesday head to Regions Field, next to Railroad Park, & relax as you watch the #Barons’ first pitch fly to the Lookouts at 7.
If you have amypiac’s exciting behind home plate view Birmingham will be playing from the dugout, to your right, up the 1st base line. 8/11

Early #Italian #Immigrants Were #SecondClass Citizens
March 2020
by Al Bruno"The perilous journey to America in the late 1800s and the early 20th century was extremely difficult for Italian #immigrant families. Worn out and exhausted, most toting an old foot locker and a couple of bags, they hoped for an opportunity to economically improve their family situations in America. Most arrived in stages, following Papa who usually ventured across the Atlantic first to establish citizenship and secure full-time employment.
"'When the Italian began arriving in New York City in large around 1880, they faced fierce competition from the #Irish who resented their working for less money and longer hours. And although they shared the same Catholic faith, Italians were viewed as superstitious because of their devotion to saints, which was expressed in the staging of elaborate feasts,' writes Haydee Camacho in 'Reflections of Irish and Italian Immigration, Animosity, and Eventual Understanding.' 'Irish pastors tried to accommodate their growing Italian communities by offering these Italian immigrants services in the basement of their churches, but pride would not have it. The stalemate led to the building of churches to serve Italians and other new immigrant groups, not only in New York but other major cities in America’s mid and northeastern, major cities.'
"Between 1876 and 1930, most of the five million Italian immigrants came to the U.S. from southern Italy as #FarmLaborers and unskilled workers known as #cantadini. Most of the newly-arrived were confused and lost in America, but earlier immigrants assisted them by introducing the Italians to the padrone, a boss and middleman between the immigrants and the American employers. In 'When America Barred Italians,' Helene Stapinski wrote, 'So our desperate great- and great-great-grandparents came in droves from Italy spurred by the #Industrial #barons in need of #CheapLabor who welcomed them with open arms to America. Often dangerous jobs no one else wanted awaited them. Some, like my relatives, came here illegally, under false names or as stowaways. On one ship alone, 200 stowaways were found.'
[...] "'Lambroso branded the Southern Italians savages and rapists, blaming them for the crime that was on the rise in the United States.' The U.S. Immigration Commission concluded in the infamous Dillingham report, 'Certain kinds of criminality are inherent in the Italian race. In the popular mind, crimes of personal violence, robbery, blackmail and extortion are peculiar to the people of Italy.'
"The #ImmigrationAct of 1924 barred most Italians from coming into the country, causing immigration from Italy to fall 90 percent, even though the vast majority of those coming to America were good, honest-working people and not criminals. There was also growing anti-immigration sentiment that posited the idea that Italians and eastern Europeans were morally unfit to be Americans. Of course, the same argument was made of the Irish. Eventually, this attitude would result in a 1924 federal immigration law that blocked Italians and southern and eastern Europeans from coming to America.
"Italian immigrants were chasing after the 'American Dream' and the 'gold in the streets' they had heard so much of and hoped for when they were growing up and working on the farmlands and vineyards in sunny Italy. Like other immigrant groups, they had sons who honorably served their country in WWII. Hall of famers Rocky Marciano, Lawrence 'Yogi' Berra and Joe DiMaggio, all first-generation Italian Americans, served in the war. These men and many other Italian immigrants persevered through the prejudice and 'second-class' treatment and achieved the '#AmericanDream.'"
