Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay
1·1 day agoI’d imagine satanists would loathe ai now that you mention it. It’s taking away intelligence and agency and so on. I would think a Satanist would love making art because it’s an expression of the self and see AI as a theft from that.

1·3 days agoI don’t think, because I don’t think getting people to accept other people is anything like rape.
So you say that you get that bigotry can cut both ways, basically people can be bigoted towards anyone, and can happen pretty much anywhere. So one of the only things we can do is make it so bigots can’t use their power to hurt people they hate, regardless of who they hate. That’s why we have laws against things like, hitting each other and murder. We also have other laws to keep people from discriminating when doing business and hiring people. I think that those are laws that you are in favor of, because you don’t want people to discriminate against you.

1·3 days agoThe problem with that logic is that you’re assuming you’ll just find another job. What if you lived in a city that was super crazy liberal, and no one was hiring you because you were straight. Unfortunately you still need a job to get by, and you can’t afford to move if you don’t have a job.
But hey, about mistreating you? There’s laws about that, too, all part of the package deal that comes with not hiring you based on race. With strict enough penalties companies would rather their employees not be bigots because they don’t want to go to court.
A side effect of all this is that bigotry dies in people’s hearts when they are exposed to the people they are bigoted against. If there was someone who hated Americans, but then got to actually meet and talk to one and work with one, they would realize Americans aren’t all bad and can be pretty nice and chill. So making sure people don’t hire based on race helps eliminate racism and keeps things fair for everyone, which helps business innovate by giving people a chance.

1·4 days agoWell the problem with that is that there’s some businesses that wouldn’t fail and go out of business even if there were instances of bigotry in hiring. So that’s why people had to step in.
Like, if you tried to get a job at Starbucks and weren’t hired because you were white, that one store isn’t going to fail, much less the company. And it wouldn’t be fair to hire or not hire people based on your race, right?
So people set up rules so that hiring people based on race is illegal, which works out better for businesses and people overall.

4·5 days agoSo you’re saying that making it so people hire based on how qualified they are rather than, say, race, is actually good for business. Because there are flawed and bigoted people out there, and even though a capitalist business is about making a profit, there’s people out there who would rather screw up the system over petty differences than have business be better and innovate more.

15·6 days agoMan it’s like, people are bigoted or something to the point where they had to make laws specifically saying that you have to hire the most competent person, and people still whine about it.
We both know there’s racist people out there, towards blacks and whites and Asians or anyone else. Or people who hate gays. Or people who hate straight people. So if you really believe in meritocracy, where people naturally rise from their own effort and the better people get the jobs, you should be in favor of laws that keep things fair. Then the better people will get hired.

politics @lemmy.world•Americans think Republicans are too obsessed with trans people
81·6 days agoConservative mindset is that everything is in a hierarchy, the hierarchy is a Good and Natural thing to exist, and therefore even if you’re not at the top, there Must be someone beneath you. And then trying to make their lives better puts the wrong people in the hierarchy, so they must be stopped. It’s miserably sad I assume.

14·7 days agoBruv they aren’t committing more crime. That’s one of the reasons people are mad. Immigrants literally commit less crimes than nationals. Your argument for minorities committing more crimes is flawed because the only reason you think they commit more crimes is because police arrest them more, whether they were doing something illegal or not. “We target these people because we’ve targeted these people before”

Ok but hear me out, most of those tens of millions of voters don’t think the Democrats will save them, it’s just if you have any political stance other than white nationalist, they are the only viable alternative.
You a lefty or a centrist? What are you gonna do, vote green party in the nationals?
“Blue no matter who” isn’t a rallying cry of solidarity, it’s really saying “We’re the best you’ve got, so vote for us even if we suck”
