Yes
Moral values. Some of the things I was taught were good in the 80s are now seen as evil and vice versa. I don’t think it’s the only time that’ll happen.
Which things for example? I’m curious…
Trucks are undeniably useful, but now have become an instrument of ego, and a status symbol, hence the stupidity of modern pickups. Hopefully they close the loophole of “light trucks” so these things don’t have to be so recklessly dangerous, same with SUVs.
Social distancing, and a lot of other covid-related stuff
Haha, yeah, I’m sure diseases will just respect our personal bubbles in the future.
No, but they’ll be doing less damage than when they first came.
They are so stupid and insane not even viruses want to touch em
The American mass murders around the world.
well except all the Nazis in Germany that were brought directly back into:
- Official posts within the federal government and its ministerial cabinets
- into the upper judiciary and magistrates
- into local governance
- elevated and hired into immense wealth in industry and finance, or just kept where they already were in industry and finance
- hired into forming the Nazi core of the West German intelligence and secret police agencies (which would become today’s German agencies) under the protective auspices of the OSS/CIA; who made extensive use of their networks of executioners and collaborators to prop up US-backed dictatorships and cartels and use as anti-communist stay-behind guerilla terrorists by the CIA and NATO (and brought into the CIA and FBI themselves, and into MI6 and Mossad)
- into German academia and universities as faculty and professors,
- to write western history books at the behest and with support of the US Army and OSS/CIA to sanitize themselves
- all those hired into NATO and into the EU
- into positions of power in West Germany (and all the NATO countries, helping in and helped by Gladio violently purging the communists) in such saturation and such impunity that it caused the formation of left wing militant groups that would assassinate and kidnap them.
but other than all of that though!
(And that’s not even mentioning the Nazis and collaborators which made up the origins of Radio Free Europe/Liberty, the “Victims of Communism Foundation” which grew out of the fascist-filled anti-Soviet “Captive Nations Lobby” headed by OUN-B Nazis from Ukraine, and all the Operation Aerodynamic, Operation Paperclip, Operation Sunrise, Operation Beladonna, Operation Lynx, etc etc.)
Please remember that the opponents of trump/MAGA are currently enacting their own Holocaust.
Maybe. The US would have to first begin to feel actual shame about colonization and slavery though, which hasn’t really begun in earnest.
I don’t know if the US has the capacity for feeling the weight of its true guilt.
uhh, most of germany yeah.
eighty years later, in Germany is still trying to live down their shame
Yet, it seems many Germans are prepared to go down that same road with the AfD.

Fuck you
Ha. I can see I’m off to a good start around here.
Well you seem to be a transphobic asshole
I thought this place was supposed to be an alternative to Reddit. Don’t act as if there’s no room for a nuanced conversation when it comes to giving children the autonomy to choose to take puberty blockers or opt for surgery.
Eat shit, fuck off, and die transphobe.
Is this how you intend to win people over not allied to your cause?
Worked for me, I naturally align with chill people who dunk on bigoted nerds
I know who my enemies are.
Death threats are repulsive
Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Bitch.
You do realize that spreading transphobia is a threat
Dorkass concern troll spotted, nuance up a better hobby
No thanks, ‘comrade’.
Lol
Yeah it’s an alternative to Reddit because master debating is mocked here instead of “good sir let us meet in the marketplace of ideas”. Go back to Reddit.
What do you think the point of puberty blockers is? How many gender affirming surgeries are taking place on children? Or are you just spreading transphobic lies?
I espouse what I believe in, same as anyone else.
Oh ok well you’re a stupid ignorant fuck threatening people for existing. You’re parroting literal Nazi talking points.
blockers are safe, growing up in a world full of bigots like you is not
Everything I like will be praised down the ages and everything I don’t like will be seen as irredeemably cringe.
AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.
If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.
AI powered code completion is another story though and I’m looking forward to it.
I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI
Already there, and have been for awhile. In my work we often don’t understand how the AI itself works. We independently test for accuracy. Then we begin trusting results without verification. But, at no time do we really understand the logic of how the AI gets from input to output.
If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.
This makes sense for a one-time job. But, it doesn’t make sense when there’s a hundred jobs with only minor differences. For example, the AI writes a hundred AI’s. We kill all but the three to five best models.
- “lesser evilism” and voting for the Democrats
- thinking liberal bourgeois ‘democracy’ is a solution against fascism
(as if fascism is a person and can be “voted out,” as if all of the things Democrats are supposed to “save us from” wrt Trump aren’t still happening with no resistance, as if the Democrats aren’t outflanking the Republicans on the right of issues like immigration, and as if they aren’t just as genocidal and barely even bothering to play empty-rhetoric games to pretend otherwise, and as if both parties aren’t part of, financed by, and working for the capitalist class and petty bourgeois who historically back fascism anyway, when economic crises create threats against their system and status for which fascism is the system’s immune response against the rise of socialism. “first they came for the communists…”)
Of the many ongoing derangment syndromes caused by mass media indoctrination, the Trump one is the most damaging. A huge number of people now openly support genocide.
The haircuts
I think climate denial will look pretty funny in hindsight after agriculture has broadly collapsed leading to mass famines, and a bunch of coastal cities are several meters under toxified saltwater.
Like, that thing I just described is the optimistic scenario, where humanity/society survives despite things turning way shittier. It could be much worse.
That is not accurate, and doomerism only helps those who want us too demoralized to put up a fight. If you want to be part of the solution to climate change, I recommend doing some reading on what the range of projections and outcomes actually look like.
That’s really not even close to the optimistic scenario. It’s arguably not even in the pessimistic scenario if you’re not just in the “make stuff up club.”
We’re talking at most half a meter of rise by 2050, at most 2 meters by 2100, at most 4 meters by 2150. The intermediate projection is a third of a meter by 2050. The optimistic projection (which we’re not going to hit) is 3/20th of a meter.
Climate change is real. The risk of famine is real. The risk of global conflict is real. The risk of trying storms is real. However, “doomsday everybody dies” is not really on any serious projections. The worst case is “a lot of people in a lot of poor nations die and rich nations have more wars and more immigration.”
3/20th of a metre is a wild measurement to read.
That is someone applying imperial system logic to the metric system. No one in their right mind uses fractions to describe 15cm.
Yeah - really confusing. I worked it out as (c.) 6 inches and then further confused myself as to why I was thinking inches from metres. Wild. Luckily I’ve lived with both metric and imperial and am apparently bilingual.
Henceforth we shall have the imperial metric system, where everything is based on the metric system but is presented as if it were imperial’s
More than 0 people being anti-mask, anti-vaccine, covid deniers, or covid minimizers.
Turns out people don’t even need a selfish reason to stab their neighbor in the back, they’ll do it just for kicks, and then stab themselves in the face for no benefit whatsoever.
Irony poisoning
I hope anti-abortion, and government restrictive bodily autonomy legislation.
That’s been getting much worse in the US at least.
