“you're not the first person I've seen who seemingly find it extra ridiculous to react to something someone tweeted, as if publishing a tweet or a series of tweets is not an act of speech, and I don't understand it.”
because people say stuff online they would never say in real life. i hope that cleared things up for you
Rather as if it makes the reality (and therefore the norms, and therefore any rules which aim to be descriptive rather than prescriptive) of online speech different from in-person speech.
“DALL-E 2 and other AI art models can now produce a near-infinite variety of illustrations using a simple text prompt. By 2025, they'll outperform human artists on every metric”
jesus this is so stupid on its face its laughable. this is like an artist saying by 2025 that artists will have replaced coders. you have no idea what you’re talking about and how stupid you sound
“Liberal white people are ridiculously easy to guilt trip”
It’s more that they are terrified to talk about it because they risk being fired from their job and losing everything for talking about it. And they’re also not allowed to talk about how they are not allowed to talk about it. So this is the way it comes out.
I am a white person in San Francisco and I do experience a lot of casual racism from POC. Just things like “there are too many white people here”, “that’s white washed”, etc as well as mild harassment on public transit.
I am often the only white person in any group, so comments like these among acquaintances get tiring, and I have nobody to talk about it with, partly because, according to a lot of these people, I am privileged despite me growing up in a far poorer neighborhood and single mother household.
This frightens me because it sounds like the setup for a preference cascade, where everybody realizes that they aren't alone, that everybody else thinks as they do. Suddenly the familiar order inverts almost overnight.
To some extent, you see the real preferences when it comes to single-issue referendums (since the vote is secret, and there are no secondary "tactical voting" considerations there that might skew the preference). Some examples:
They themselves. Some liberal whites are at the sebior level will exact the whip to get them in same group thinking...pretty much like Dems that always act in unisons as compare to Rep for decades.
