@chaosprime you said it right here, matehttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/988936474191171584 …
so because the schematization is exploitable for evil we have to suppress the idea that the observed phenomenon exists which is a behavior pattern comprising a huge amount of what is wrong with The Modern Left

again, I didn't say that. What I'm saying is that you can't build a political platform on it. I might have very good reason for believing that everything that's happening is due to Chinese interference in western society, but I wouldn't say that in politics.

So basically the things I (under suggestion of shrink ex) managed to sort of drill into my UFO ex before we parted ways? "Telling people about aliens will just hurt you and may attract alien influence agents"?
-
microaggression discourse built into a load-bearing element of a political platform can't really be anything but a tool of cold race war which SOME people i guess think isn't a beneficial way forward
-
the various cold wars in our society aren't going to stay cold much longer. I suppose one could make the argument it's a solution to the population crisis.
-
enh, idk, we've gotten so good at proxy war and so used to its comparative economic benefits

it's the same as the various pedophillia panics and suchlike that have happened. Pedophiles exist, but once we're seeing them everywhere and everyone is accusing each other, we're in trouble.

I feel I should say at this juncture that I *don't* think the current state of society is due to Chinese interference, that was a hypothetical example. The PRC doesn't seem organized enough to pull off something like that, tbh.
-
just like you to casually discount the likelihood of interference by the PRC of 2098
-
I think I can, on the basis that they wouldn't mess with any timeline that had resulted in their own existence :P

Not so much "exploitable for evil" as "flawed in a manner that makes it overly flexible and impossible to reason about non-dysfunctionally" Demonic possession would be bullshit even if Catholic Church was 10000000000% nicer and only used it for "good*"

*(under any arbitrary definition of "good" we can agree upon)
