Progs dehumanising those who don’t share their secular humanist convictions! How cute.

“This is the “algorithmic governance” of the Left. As things get rougher, it will grow.”

Good line. Good point. Algorithmic governance.

As things get rougher algorithmic governance won’t do. As noted before their reach pathetically exceeds their grasp. This is not power nor hands that should have it’s levers.

But good find and good phrase: “Algorithmic governance.”

I think Der Spiegel already has one. They got it to interview Alain Finkielkraut:

When it gets harder to tell the bots from the humans, expect the HOLDEN-CAPTCHA:

Oh the conniptions that would be had if the questions were of a more reactionary bent.

what the fuck, just parse it for fnords if you care enough to get more than 1 in 3 spam posts through. No human is going to wade through a paragraph, and few humans are going to know how to feel about a paragraph without fnords.

i’d like to see this in action fucking with people. I wonder if liberals or conservatives are more capable of processing text full of emotional words for its actual meaning.

It’s interesting that they frame it as a test of emotion, yet one of the common complaints from ex-progs who become reactionaries is that their emotional circuitry no longer works due to years of prog indoctrination: they no longer have a disgust reflex. Reactionary CAPTCHA could offer images of deviant behaviour and then have two options: (1) “Ew” and (2) “This transgression of cis-gendered heteronormative ableist white privilege is an important component in the ongoing fight against Patriarchy.”

“How does that make you feel?”

Apparently they feel no compunction over discriminating against autists, sociopaths, and other general alexithymiacs.

Also, the straightforwardly and blasé appeal to emotions is suggestive of… well I hardly need elaborate here.

An all-purpose tool for telling whether someone is beneath refutation would be handy, for this certainly qualifies as an instance thereof.
