I can see the argument in favor of putting out literally any other story once bigoted lies start swirling. A narrative of any kind sticks better and provokes a feeling of uncertainty rather than just asking for it.

Especially to sub-literate animals who understand tone but not actual words. Like Americans.

Damn. That must be a terrible place to live. Bet the property values are ass, even for Mississippi.

Then fuck this guy; how dare he end a sacred human life, snuffing out a bright star of civility for such a terrible cause! People are sick, violence is sick. We are lost and fallen, and can only watch the world end. This bastard harbinger of our misfortunes should be drawn and quartered for the doom he brings upon us all.

It’s really not something i consider worth my time and attention. I know your liberal programmed virtues tell you that supporting artists under capitalism with your dollar-vote is the done thing, but i don’t agree and won’t be wasting any more of my time trying to reason you out of such a convoluted position on something that barely matters.

Progress!

Artists can’t pay rent now. They make music though.

I work for a better world. I do not look for excuses to reward corporations that steal from artists to burn libraries, thanks.

Never pay for music again, and don’t let anyone you know do that shit either.

They come for archives–nothing should be off limits.

Oh they’re actively deciding what you can do with the software now. Cool. Love that.

In the same way a fire is like combustion?

So in the same way a sandwich is, like, a thing with bread. Got it. Same page different dialect 👍

Your mistake is thinking like conservatives have the same faculties as you. They don’t.

The thing they aim to do when they communicate, and the means by which they do it, are entirely different. Their words are not specific symbols for constructing meaning, but vibesy triggers for existing structures of meaning. It means they’re a lot more sensitive–one could say ‘reactive’ to that, but words do not ‘mean’ things to them in the same way they ‘mean’ things to you and I.

Likewise, when they talk, they’re not saying what the words they’re saying literally mean. They’re howling. Signalling to the pack or trying to get a response in an entirely interiority-free chinese-room sort of way.

Look at the things the deceased said. Statements like ‘I am a member of dsu’. ‘I am a black man seeking an education and a nice life’. Clearly expressing intent to kill himself. Not every bad thing that happens is the fault of the cops, sometimes preople just kill themselves.

Stop being so conspiratorial.

Like?

No. Capitalism is going to end up turning us all into chattel slaves.

So how to sway them?

i wonder

Really?

Clearly you don’t understand trickle-down economics.

Just accept that it is the highest good and let the adults talk. We’ll buy you some overpriced plastic miniatures to play with. Because we care about humanity.

Ignorance is bliss?

Maybe but let’s wait for a reliable source before citing somethong transparently aligned, unqualified to know what a defensive wound looks like, and known for lying-like a coroner.

I genuinely cannot think of a less reliable source.
