If you "don't like politics" and are "not a political person anymore", why even define yourself as a political identity? Does "conservative" here mean a political identity that rejects politics? I'm confused.
Damn that's fairly succinct
Honestly I cried when I heard. It encapsulates my own views on grief but is also prescient and speaks as a father would asking someone to comfort their son after they're taken away. But his children will receive no comfort, they were killed as well. It is little solace that he was with his family at the end. It makes me angry beyond words so I will lean on this poem to communicate what I can't. Which brings me back to this Refaat Alareer's views on teaching and using English to liberate. I'm autistic, I struggle with language sometimes and it was strangely familiar to hear his view. I guess my own words to add would be (WIP):
Be open to grief. Be open to seeing others As they see themselves. Be open to seeing yourself In another person.
Invite in the sorrow of others. Know their burden Is much like your own. Know your needs Are shared by others.
Let yourself be changed.
Heard the poem on the radio. The man understood the transformative power of grief.
If you labor there's only two ways you get paid your full worth: you own the means of your production or your boss is a chump. However much the job pays, you are going to have a larger impact than your salary (hopefully).
Fantastic read, thank you
Misattribute then? My only position was that your rebuttal was not logical while asking for logic, which I thought was funny and "absurd" as you put it.
Wow, you got me. That's totally what I am saying that you had to fabricate a quote that represents the argument you want to have.
I am shocked to my core that you would write off an observation as having no logic. Shocked I tell you!
Seems we're partially applying market dynamics of supply and demand. Simply assuming the "surplus" supply of deep fakes will decrease their value ignores the fact that the demand is still there. Instead what we get is new value opportunities in the arms race of validating and distributing deep fakes.
You response highlights how the victims needs the power of community to respond appropriately, and how society excuses some forms of violence (involuntary porn) and not others (women getting retribution).
