I hate you so much right now.

Ouch! That hurts!

I know. That's why I was so touched!

It’s a bit lame tbh

Why thank you! 😀

Maybe you want to edit this so there's a direct link? Like putting in !unlockthread@lemm.ee in the text somewhere (or whatever the link format is)?

I think even darker (as the response to @Glide@lemmy.ca indicates). When I see incel behaviour from a man, I make damned sure that man is always in my sight and at a distance. And I won't accept any drink from him, nor any invitation to go somewhere else, even if it's in the same building.

Well yes. It's about sex and specifically forcing sex.

They're wannabe rapists, in effect.

There is absolutely a cure for incels, yes, but nobody in the west would like it. So you're kind of stuck with them.

The prostitution thing won't work, though. I actually got fed up with a loud incel peripheral to a social circle I was part of and snapped, offering to hire him a hooker right then and there so he could STFU about how he'd never been laid.

Immediately he moved the goalposts and said he didn't just want to get laid, he wanted a "genuine emotional relationship". Saying this despite for the previous two hours only ever talking about sex, sex appeal, sexual characteristics, etc. with not a word spent on "genuine emotion".

Some people just want to whine, and when they gather in groups they spiral destructively.

It just lacks machines that think. Which we do too, but the things they’re trying to push as thinking are already causing extreme damage to our culture ...

... time for the Butlerian Jihad before things get so bad you need an existential war to fix them.

I highlighted the parts you missed. You might want to clean your screen so you can see all the words before responding.

Now compare Lemmy, a phone, or the Internet to "a machine in the likeness of a human mind".

Dune is full of machines. It just lacks machines that think. Which we do too, but the things they're trying to push as thinking are already causing extreme damage to our culture, so ... time for the Butlerian Jihad before things get so bad you need an existential war to fix them.

This is the danger of a "quick look". It makes you look ridiculous when you talk about it later.

Have you heard of the Butlerian Jihad?

My vision isn't quite as extreme.

Quite.
