This image is just somebody on the subreddit pointing out the 1488 reference.

The weekly ads posted to the sub are by a different “user”, but I do find it odd that the post asking about the 1488 flyer seems to be permadownvoted, and got brigaded by people claiming the OP was insane for even asking about it. I believe one person claimed OP was “schizophrenic.”

Bc during a time when there’s a guy with a swastika tattoo in the white house, you would clearly have to be “insane” to question if a Jan 6er might feel emboldened enough to run a local ad that served as a dog whistle.

This isn’t the ad this is a different user who posted about this ad in their newspaper.

Their weekly ad was just posted today.

I agree, but I do think he legit did it as both a dog whistle to his fellow Nazis and to some extent bc he sees controversy for his store as a good thing.

Most of the people who would choose not to shop there probably already stopped shopping there after the Jan. 6th stuff. Rather than give him too much attention, at this point I think it’s better to start going after people who continue to associate him.

He’s made his preferences pretty clear. If you want to be a Nazi, nothing I can do to stop you other than continue to not shop at your store. With your preferences so clearly stated though, I do have to wonder why other businesses that I rely on are continuing to associate with you and help you advertise.

Is the local paper that includes flyers for Rouses saying that they’re ok with Nazis as long as they pay? What about the TV and radio stations that continue to run ads? Reddit loves to pretend they’re still a liberal space despite all the evidence to the contrary. Here’s more evidence, so why are you allowing a Nazi to promote himself using your platform?

Seems like two very noticable strikes against a shitty business to me. Whoever thought this was a good idea made the entire company look like they also believe it was a good idea.

If nobody is willing to clear up this whole misunderstanding, then people might understandably assume that other businesses associated with them also believe it was a good idea.

I mean to some extent maybe, but what is the alternative? Not call a Nazi out for being a Nazi?

I already don’t shop there and I tell people not to shop there. Bigger question to me is why is a subreddit that is still cosplaying as progressive, allowing ads for a Nazi? Or anywhere else. That’s the bigger fish. Pressure people to stop allowing Nazis to advertise.

Yeah, that’s why it’s just my dream home. But if I could design and furnish a home that is what it would look like

Me too. My dream home would be inspired by Forbidden Planet

According to this article from a Louisiana newspaper there were 100 g of cocaine hidden in the house. That’s a lot of cocaine.

It also seems weird he would then resign from the police force shortly after that, but who knows, maybe he was just a really bad cop who turned into a really crooked politician.

If Hank and Walt had been roommates and Walt had been selling from their shared house.

Also, of Schrader had been half as corrupt as Landry, he wouldn’t have been a likable character.

Landry is definitely more of a Walt

I’m not opposed to the technology. An aid for prosopagnosia would actually be an excellent use of this tech.

But, yeah one individual using it as an aid vs an increasingly authoritarian government creating an entire surveillance network to track people is some bullshit.

I hate when people claim that something like that is inevitable, and if you disagree, then you’re anti-tech or inhibiting progress. Society is supposed to control technology, tech isn’t supposed to control society. If we’re not dictating how the tech is being used on us, then one powerful individual or group of individuals is using tech to control us.

I try not to put pictures of my kid’s face on the internet. Now every time we leave our house, somebody is going to have the ability to save images of my kid to a database, and track our movements around the city. I have no way of knowing what they actually do with those images once they’re saved, and who all might be accessing this system and database.

Knowing for a fact that our government caters to and protects pedophiles and trafficking networks, how can anybody expect me to just accept this as inevitable progress, and not fight like hell to stop it from happening?

The headline is a bit misleading. This isn’t run of the mill dystopia. Police in Indiana are using AI software to write reports for them based on AI analysis of body cam footage. AI hallucinations are then inserted into police reports. Then the false reports that contain information about events that never happened are being submitted to courts without being verified

Once an AI hallucination is on record as a documented event, it becomes difficult to remove it from the record, and it can ruin people’s lives.

I think you’re misunderstanding my point.

Feminism isn’t about being an asshole vs a nice person. It’s about equality and it extends beyond gender.

Why are women treated differently? Why aren’t they given the same respect as everyone else? Why should anyone be denied an equal place in society based on things like race, class, gender etc.?

My only point about assholes is that an individual who is truly opposed to equality, is simply an asshole. Even assholes opposed to equality are still entitled to the same rights as anyone else, but the consequences of being an asshole (people not respecting or associating with you because you acted like a disrespectful asshole) are not violations of your rights.

That’s awesome! There were some sunglasses I saw that did something similar but they were very expensive

Yes, bc I support equality. That’s it. That’s all it means. I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I try not to be an asshole to others. I know sometimes I fail, but I don’t go out of my way to do it. If somebody tells me I did something incorrect or hurtful, I don’t get offended, I just try to do better in the future if I see them again.

I didn’t know that supporting feminism was just supporting equality until I was an adult bc nobody ever taught me that. It’s not really surprising to me that some people attach other meanings to the word (both positive and negative), or that some people are opposed to it because of whatever negative things they may have attached to it.

It is still very surprising to me that there are people who will openly admit they’re just strongly opposed to equality. From my perspective, if you’re opposed to equality, that means you’re opposed to treating others as you would want them to treat you. You’re intentionally being an asshole, and you kinda forfeit any expectations of respect from other people. I still believe you’re entitled to the same rights as anyone else, but getting called out for being an asshole is not a violation of your rights. Equality means it’s ok to be an asshole to another asshole. That is feminism to me.

Customers need to already have the data they want to work with—Palantir itself does not provide any.

It blows my mind that the role of Michael Kratsios during Trump’s first administration as CTO has been basically ignored by the media.

He was brought into the White House by Thiel to help the president with “technology issues.” He is quoted in interviews as early as 2017-2018 saying the administration was trying to gain access to large protected government databases in order to train AI.

Thiel was planning for government data to be ready for Palantir to use ~8 years before the current administration began handing Palantir billions of dollars in contracts and giving employees military rank.

Kratsios is now science advisor for the POTUS, but still somehow barely receives press coverage. The rare coverage he does receive is never critical. Do you remember the big scary Elon Musk is running the White House, stealing our data, and we should all be terrified media narrative?

Musk was only executing the plans Kratsios made during the first Trump administration, and he stepped down as soon as Kratsios was confirmed by the Senate.

It’s like we can state the obvious, “This could be a way for an authoritarian regime to destroy civil liberty.” But nobody will just come out and say “Peter Thiel has already built a platform that will allow an authoritarian regime to destroy civil liberty and crush dissent, and he started planning it nearly a decade ago. Michael Kratsios is the flying monkey who made it possible for him to build it, and continues to quietly do his bidding.”
