"They like to inflict pain on those people. And they know that if they hold those people hostage & threaten to hurt them, Democrats will eventually break & give them whatever. 'Please, just let them go. Let them go. Whatever you want.' And we've fallen for that way too often. And you know this is going to cause pain." @driftglass
GREAT explanation of how the GOP uses Democrats' VIRTUE against us.

Where other social medias have AI slop, AI reach and AI moderation,
the Fediverse has AltText, CamelCase and empathy.

One of the main ways wealth corrupts is through the erosion of empathy.
When a person achieves fabulous wealth they no longer have to care about what other people say or think because they are insulated from everyone due to their wealth, so their empathy dies.
And when these #Empathy lacking #Billionaires control our media and governments their values infect all of society.

If you want to support me you can:
* donate to the @FediverseFoundation
* report malicious content (when in doubt, report)
* report bad instances to the FediBlock hashtag
* research which instance best fits you and migrate away from mastodon.social
* wear a mask in public
* don't go to work sick
* vaccinate
* help me out with my bills (I pay 5€ a day for supplements excluding medication, because of a PAIS [post accute infectious syndrome like post covid, mecfs or whatever] - my health bills alone exceed my income)
* spread empathy, not hate
* use your brain, not a billionaire-funded neuronal network
* teach your kids cooperation instead of competition
* be kind to yourself and others
* don't judge yourself if you can't support me with all or any of these points
Thank you for your support!

"Friend" vs A.I.

![Photograph by Fenichel
In a NYC subway, on a platform, a man is seated low to the ground with a drum on a stand before him, stick in hand, wearing a dark coat and colorful wool hat.
Behind him is a long mural/advertisement (left half) and a hand-written comment/graffiti on the right side.
Advertisement, in the style of a dictionary definition, the biggest word being "friend"
<<
[frend] noun
someone who listens,
responds and supports you.
>>
Graffiti/response/commentary:
"AI wouldn't care if you lived or died"](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/348/062/302/006/026/original/528dbcb80968d571.jpg)

Periodic reminder: Hate takes effort to maintain.
If it weren't for constant effort by fashy people to lie about Black folk, Brown folk, women, immigrants, trans folk, etc, that most people would choose *not* to support fashy people.
Fascism requires an ongoing cost. Kindness is free!
And kindness is not weakness.
If you see fashy people attacking Black people, or immigrants, or trans folk, it's not kindness to say, "We should all get along!"🤡
That's weakness.
It's kindness to put yourself between the people with less power than yourself, and the people that want to hurt them.
@mekkaokereke
I agree with you minus one piece:
Kindness + empathy *can* be work / can be hard for people to muster.
Kindness + empathy need to be learned, practiced, + reinforced too.
