ive been to a lot of protests in my life and a thing that a lot of people dont understand is that a protest is a threat. its a large group of people saying “we are being nice now, but you must understand that if we stop being nice we have the power to cause you Problems”.

so everyone saying that protests have to be more polite or follow accepted rules is missing the entire point. the point of a protest is not to say “we disagree with you”, they already know that. the point of a protest is to make it clear that if they continue to do things you disagree with, you will burn down their house.

now this wont stop them because theyre stupid and arrogant and believe themselves to be beyond consequence. so here’s the really important thing and that’s that after they do it anyway, you have to burn down their house

I cannot stress this e-fucking-nough. My great-grandmother - hell, most of my whole family - were on the civil rights marches. The fact they had to be so peaceful was because everything done during those protests was breaking the law. None of it was legal, none of it was nice.

She told me this:

“Understand - to many white people in the US, seeing that many Black people gathered together in one place would have been shocking. It’s easy to bully a family in a town. A bit harder, but bullying a community is still possible. But over a million Black people marching upon the Capital would have had the same effect on every single White person watching. They would know what Black people were REALLY saying behind the hymns and the march.

‘Imagine what would happen if we were angry.’

“White people were terrified of those marches. And there were supposed to be afraid. Of course they were gonna push back - they have the guns, they can make up new laws on the fly. They have all the power in the world, literally - and still, nothing scared them more than a million Black people on the march. Protests stopped working when White people were no longer afraid.”

I’m so glad most people on this website seem to have correct surprisingness of walrus opinions

[goddamnshinyrock]

If a fairy knocked on my door I would have to change one (1) assumption about the world (fairies don’t exist). I’d be surprised but since fairies don’t exist, my brain doesn’t have any known rules for them- if it turns out I’m wrong about the existence thing, they may as well be at my door than anywhere else, who am I to say? And humans have a long history of creating fairy hoaxes- a floating little creature with wings that’s real-looking enough for a brief prank would not be a challenge outside the realm of ‘special effects hobbyist’.

Walruses, on the other hand, I do know quite a lot about, and am very firm in my conviction that they operate by known physical and biological rules. I know their typical range, how big of a news story it is when one turns up outside that range, how unlikely it would be for one to get as far south (and with as densely populated a coast) as Boston undetected, how unlikely it would be for one to go more than a mile or so inland even in their normal range, their behavior and diet, their weight, and inability to climb stairs or (for an adult, at least) to fit in my building’s elevator. Even if one assumes human intervention to get the walrus to my building, it would require serious heavy equipment and some structural damage to the building to get it inside and on the second floor alive and in one piece. And obviously, human intervention would imply a human motive to transport a walrus into a random apartment complex. The knocking itself would be believable, it’s easily within the realm of tricks that they teach pinnipeds in captivity, but everything that would have to lead up to that, without me being aware? Absolutely unthinkable. I would certainly notice events proceeding long before the Walrus itself arrived. And faking a realistic looking Walrus? That’s also way weirder and more challenging than a realistic looking fairy, since walruses are real and we know what they look like, you can’t just make shit up.

I’m convinced those voting fairy don’t know as much about walruses as they think they do, that’s the only explanation.

[luimnigh]

This really does point something out about how humans interact with the world, though.

Realistically, the Walrus is the easier thing to get to knock on your door, because Fairies are not a thing we have access to.

(Like even if you believe they exist, they're clearly not knocking on doors nowadays.)

But, as you point out, most people have a general idea of what a Walrus is, and can imagine the logistics necessary to get a Walrus to their front door, we can understand the unlikeliness of it.

Meanwhile, the Fairy? We don't know where to even start asking questions. We don't know their habitat, their range, their ability to travel distances, their understanding of societal conventions such as door knocking, how their existence has been kept hidden until now-

We don't know where to even start asking the questions to disprove it, so we have to ask "Are fairies real?", and in the scenario present the answer is clearly yes.

It's more believable because we don't know how to start disbelieving it, and the format of the question primes us to not disbelieve it.

I feel like this is probably a propaganda technique that's already been discussed academically, but I just can't put a name to it.

[mylordshesacactus]

Well, it's certainly an example of the availability heuristic--ie, the psychological phenomenon wherein humans place more weight on things that we have a lot of mental examples of.

(For example, many people who drive every day are TERRIFIED of flying, because they're afraid of the plane crashing--they have lots of mental examples of high-profile plane crashes, because plane crashes are so rare that they always make the news, but few mental examples of high-profile car crashes, because car crashes are so common that they are rarely if ever headline stories. Similarly, you're a lot less likely to get on the news for NOT winning the lottery, so people tend to overestimate their chances.)

Interestingly, that kind of applies in both cases here! (Retreading a lot of what was said earlier just to help me organize my thoughts.)

We have LOTS of mental narrative references for a fairy appearing at your door. It happens in stories all the time. The only mental leap we have to make in that scenario is "huh. damn. I guess they really do exist" but we have a mental map of how this is supposed to go. We also have a lot of cultural concepts of a "hidden" magical world shielded or kept secret in some way from the mundane. It's not an unfamiliar or confusing concept, just presumably fictional. It's READILY AVAILABLE in our minds.

We ALSO have a lot of readily-available FACTUAL information about walruses, since they actually exist. We have LOTS of nature documentaries and scientific information and federal regulations about possession and transportation of exotic animals telling us what behaviors walruses do and do not engage in, the difficulty and legality of any human being acquiring and transporting a walrus, and the likelihood of either human or walrus surviving the experience of transporting it to the average person's doorstep.

All of which SCREAMS at us that the walrus SHOULD NOT be there, while a fairy has no particular reason NOT to be there if it exists.

Anyway, yeah. The availability heuristic is just a morally-neutral quirk of human psychology, but it can be, and is, easily exploited in propaganda.

Not to mention the normalization of 12, 16, and 24 hour shifts in the medical field, as well as there being no legal recourse to refuse being mandated to stay beyond 24 hours when you don't have relief.

[somethingaboutsomethingelse]

Worker abuse, systemic medical abuse, and ableism all in one go.

[3liza]

it also kills thousands of patients a year. sleep deprivation is indistinguishable from being drunk in terms of how badly it affects reaction time, rational thought, decision making, and manual dexterity. people are making just as many life-or-death decisions about patients at the ends of those 24 hour shifts as they are at the beginning. we need a national medical worker's strike and we need it yesterday

Not to out myself as living under a rock but what’s this in the notes about fairies and walruses

[anawkwardblue]

Someone made a poll asking what you would be more surprised to see knocking on your door: a fairy or a walrus. And most people answered “walrus” prompting a whole Thing™️

Ohhh okay I suspected it was a tumblr meme. Thank you I’ll be back in a bit

some more very good ones :)

the thing about having been really broke. averaging $500 a month in a good year broke. using a gamestop credit card i shouldn't have qualified for to buy taco bell gift cards for food broke. is that i am SO bad with money. i have a degree in accounting and i am so bad with money. i do not think of myself as superstitious at all but money feels so cursed. not in a spiritual way, i mean literally. practically.

having 'too much' money feels so bad. money is a thing you spend as soon as you get it because it's so cursed. the more it is the more cursed it is. i save too much money and bad things will happen that cost all my money. money is a thing that summons expenses. if i have no money and the car breaks down i find a way to make it work. i scrounge and resell and pass the hat and talk to my mom's friend's friend who knows a guy and in the end i'm so relieved to be right back where i started. but if i were saving my money for a new computer and then the car broke down, the money is just gone. i spent the money i saved for a thing i wanted on a thing i needed instead and after all that hoping i'm right back where i started.

i get a windfall and i set the money aside because if i'm careful that's enough to pay for gas for months. but then i need to pay for heat and i apply for assistance and they look at my bank account and see i have money and now they won't help pay for heat. soon it's just a habit. i get the money and i spend the money. immediately, as soon as possible, get this money away from me. don't even save enough for cigarettes. i can find money for cigarettes, somehow i can always find money for cigarettes. cigarette money is a weird magical fake money i summon from dark corners whenever i run out of cigarettes. i don't know how it works either. i've tried to summon the cigarette money for things that aren't cigarettes and it never works. just get this out of my bank account. get it out of here before something notices there's money here.

anyway i'm working on it but god it's hard

[unpretty]

every welfare and assistance program in america teaches you that holding onto money is a thing you will be punished for and then when you finally get lucky and get a good job and spend your paycheck as fast as possible to keep the wrath of god away it's proof that you were only ever poor because you were bad with money

[murphmurphthejerk]

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.
