The Question IRL posted:Man that is dystopia level of grim. This has been going on in the UK with some government services. The first half a dozen google links are to sites that offer to do the service for a charge but then pass your data straight on to the .gov site, when if you'd gone straight to the official spot you get the service for free. Corey Doctorow wrote an interesting piece about the enshittification of platforms here https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys. TLDR is that it's just less profitable for google to link you to the real site than the fake one which pays them for doing so.

I installed tiktok a few days ago with the intention of just scrolling through funny videos while lying in bed and being ill. Well, gradually, my 'queue' has somehow filled up with videos of people complaining about wokeness, videos of sovereign citizens, and just now a video of a black person complaining about other black people complaining about slavery I think tiktok might be bad

The TikTok algorithm is incredibly good at focusing in on the topics you engage with most. If it's showing you loads of alt-right poo poo it's because that's what you've been watching.

Yeah you have to check. Same with Ryanair. If you google that the first thing that comes up is some outfit called esky (of course, I googled just now and the official Ryanair comes up - certainly didn't a few weeks ago!) who do likewise. Caused us a problem last summer when I had booked directly with Ryanair, then mum decided she was going to come to and my sister booked for her on the same flight as me but didn't check & ended up going through esky. Anyway, our flight got cancelled and no suitable alternative. My fare was refunded by Ryanair within a couple of weeks. Mum's wasn't refunded for about 8 months.

Comrade Fakename posted:A guy I know has a side gig of making cool neon signs - he's made a number of them for The World Transformed, and actually I think he was involved in making that arcade cabinet for Thatchers' Techbase from last year's event too. Anyway, he's got a new design that he can be commissioned to produce for what seems to me like a reasonable price of £200. I thought some people here might be interested in it: If this wasn't to your liking, how about this hanging above your mantlepiece instead? https://twitter.com/TLDRNewsUK/status/1629146190318129153

I feel more on it recently as my dad (in his 60s) asked me recently if I had heard of Jordan Peterson and had started listening to some of his youtube videos. I saw him a few weeks later and he's switched to a carb-free diet and has been watching Ben Shapiro and other daft poo poo, which took me by surprise a bit. So I'm grateful for the chance to send them some more stuff over and try and influence my family not getting red pilled by youtube shorts.

The EU, simultaneously sneaking unlabelled insect proteins into the flour and making us label everything that goes in our food with 15,000 E-numbers and may contain nuts and it's not like in the old days Geoff where you could just call a cake a cake and sometimes kids just swole up and died but we survived.

Ah well you see that's because they want to control you so they make honest normal farmers comply with the e numbers but also the secret insect death flour goes in everything. Unfortunately once people are bought into the shadowy devil cabal controlling the world then every thing that does or does not happen is evidence of their nefarious plot to destroy western civilization.

Yeah it's just the Protocols of Zion, Le Péril Protestant, and all that other poo poo all over again. "If you just took all the labels off and let normal people get on with things then you'd have normal bakers baking normal bread for normal families. You might get (((some people))) stuffing all the flour with insect parts to make a quick profit, but they do it because of their membership of shadowy out-groups, not because it's something that happened all the time before regulations, so there are Solutions to that."

What strikes me is the syncretic nature of these things. You have the big Qanon talking point regurgitator taking what is doing rounds internationally and combining that with his trauma of economic loss and clear mental hit in 90s Finnish depression. You have two absolute weirdos taking the ”Cabal tunnels in 5 km housing troops and mole children” bit and absolutely running with it, charting the putative tunnel network of Finland by hand on their camper van.

Oh yeah it is incredibly syncretic, like genuinely impressively so. But I suppose that is the appeal, because there is no real rational process behind it and it's based entirely on feels, they can accept anything that hits the right narrativistic notes in casting the world as some sort of battle between good and evil and which reinforces their existing prejudices. I like watching the esoterica youtube channel which has a lot of stuff about ancient magical practices and I often find myself thinking back to the people who would be in like, egypt and invoking jesus, hermes trismegistus, and thoth in the same magic spell which is written in hebrew (because hebrew is the most magical language) to fix your back pain or something. And there's no contradiction, these are all equally valid magic dudes written in a magic language and that will sort it out.
