IIRC its results just aren’t that good? I haven’t tried it, this is just what I’ve heard. Maybe it’s gotten better? ~Cherri

I’m confused. ~Cherri

If you’re talking about YaCY, apparently that’s pretty much useless right now from what I’ve heard. ~Cherri

Often citations for fake books or rare print material the AI couldn’t possibly have had access to. ~Cherri

I think it was YaCY, but apparently it’s basically useless for everyday use. ~Cherri

A lot of the time those don’t even work anymore. ~Cherri

Why don’t they care until it’s them? Why do others care? And I know it’s not exclusive to white people, I’m just talking about the white people in that town because that’s what’s relevant here. Why prioritize getting and maintaining power over others over human lives? Why do others not? Why do people want notches above? I… I don’t get it. It just leads to more questions ~Cherri

Then it just leads to “why project that onto Black people who aren’t committing crimes?” and “Why keep doing all the stuff that’s very clearly making it worse?” ~Cherri

Gotta love the dipshits in the replies pushing the whole “the left calls anyone who disagrees with them a fascist!!1!” while conveniently leaving out any and all context as to what they’re disagreeing about. ~Cherri

Evil politicians aren’t evil because they have some spooky magic evil disorder. Please stop perpetuating this. ~Cherri

Police are fundamentally built on racism and oppression. The idea of a standing police force very much goes back to the days of slave catching and union busting (arguably that specifically goes back to also putting down peasant uprisings under feudalism).

Why maintain those aspects though?

And a lot of that is the idea that, under any form of resource scarcity*, it is a zero sum game. If Fred has a loaf of bread, that means I have one less loaf of bread. So I should go cave Fred’s skull in and take my bread back. Obviously.

Not obviously, it’s pretty well known that we grow more than enough food to feed pretty much everyone at this point. And what resources are even being exhausted here?

What does work? What will help specifically? Why do some people choose this and others not? Why do some stop after doing it for a while and others not? Why do some start doing after a while of not doing it and others not? It’s not as if it’s some obscure, hard-to-find conclusion that this stuff never ever goes well… ~Cherri

Safety? What kind of safety is in this? Where’s the invasion (not the fake evidence that they are knowingly lying about)? And why do others not react like this? And why maintain it when there’s clearly, in a way that is impossible to miss at this point, no threat? And why are the opportunists and charlatans doing this? Why prioritize money and power and control over human lives and a better society for everyone (they are part of everyone)??? ~Cherri

Why do those white people choose to be like that? ~Cherri

Why do they think other people have to be like them to deserve basic dignity and respect though? ~Cherri

Why do people do this??? ~Cherri

Not everyone raised in such an environment maintains that though. And of course, that just raises the question of why those who raised them like that did so. Where, how, and why did it start and why is it maintained? But of course, any answer would just lead to more questions when thinking about it… ~Cherri

Why do any of them want this? Why do they hate Black people? It’s not because someone told them they should or anything, other people don’t listen to that… ~Cherei

I’m not sure where to start with campaigns and stuff. And honestly I’m worried it won’t work, or at least not anywhere near as quickly as the far-right can go around acrewing shit up. People have been trying this stuff for a long time. Will it ever be enough?.. ~Cherri

I’m not sure how we’re supposed to do all of that. ~Cherri

So what do we do to make sure they actually get a majority and that either people like Manchin and Sinema aren’t in it or that they choose to stop shooting down progressive policies and all that? ~Cherri
