  • Explain a movie series badly:

    A young boy gets abducted by a cult, to train him as a soldier. As an adult he tries to visit his mother, but she’s already killed, so he massacres the aliens who did this. He falls in love with a royalty, only for the cult to forbid this relationship. A fascist traitor of the cult cuts off one of his hands, gets a mechanical one and marries the royalty woman.

    Few years later, the man kills the fascist traitor. He gets a vision that tells him his wife will die of childbirth and the cult denies him a leadership position, so he joins the fascist leader behind the fascist traitor to try to save her, only to kill her instead (though the twins survive), after which his master in the cult amputates all his limbs and leaves him burning in hot magma. He gets saved by the fascists, builds out a massive fascist empire in the galaxy.






  • The issue is, there’s also difference between how people cram “AI-assistance” into their previously well-refined workflows. Did see the odd person ending up with the same issues as straight-out vibe coding but without the speed, including the eventual (mild) AI psychosis and later switching to vibe coding after the chatbot convincing him.

    Also I think it would be pretty trivial to generate an “understanding” of the code, yet AI boosters never bring up it as a concern.










  • The term “STEM-bro” predates the genAI boom, at least it begun rising in popularity during the Gamergate controversy.

    STEM-bros lack the vision of their peers, they mainly see their field as a 9-to-5, as something that pleases their parents more than a trade school. They were those, who pioneered using fandoms and other nerd-groups as a tool to exclude others, usually through utter toxicity. Then the nerds slowly learned from them, who now think they served the purpose of making sure “the thing they’re fans of never changes” rather than to protect the status of some bro, who were into some more obscure stuff.

    Sure, many jock-types are nice. There’s even a stereotype, that gym-bros are the nicest people. However, VeganGains is a well known counterexample of that. Competitive sports are a lot worse than your average bro pumping iron in the gym. And don’t get me started on the “failed jocks”, especially those who also frequented fandom circles.

    (Please do note, that the whole nerd-jock dichotomy is false, one can be both or neither.)

    The right believes in unequality.

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

    There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    ― Frank Wilhoit

    It is just million times more relevant for fascism, and some more moderate conservatives try their best to not be hypocrites. Fascists however flex their status with public hypocrisy. Or think the people who expose their secret hypocrisy are the real bad people, who are trying to tarnish their right to be remembered as perfect human beings by historians.


  • Because they believe in unequality. They want you to follow certain set of morals, some of which has no basis in reality, all while they don’t follow any of it.

    They don’t hate stuff like pedophilic poor people because pedophilia is bad. They hate pedophilic poor people because they want child molestation to be exclusively of theirs, a kind of a status symbol. Similarly they want you to not be gay for some weird pronatalist obsession of theirs, all while they want to secretly go to gay parties.

    When Curtis Yarvin and others say they want feudalism back, they don’t mean a king that is nice like in the fantasy novels they read, they want the nobles to re exempt of the law. Or unequality.
