That's the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.
Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn't decide on one term that I've heard more than the other, so I'll share them all.
Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement
Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact
The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value
Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.
...
This kind of act isn't as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.
He's actually working on a video about Adobe right now. You can watch the first one and a half hours of it on his patreon. It's a very good video so far. Can recommend
How do you know what it's about if you've only seen the first 1.5hrs of it .... He probably hasn't even introduced who he actually wanted to talk about yet
Reminded me that Mark Ruffalo actually created a Mastodon account in 2022.
For a second i thought it was just fever dream i had, but it is actually true
Why are the Magats surprised about Ruffalo. Dude has been vocal about his views for a very long time already. Not to mention he's an actual activist. Or did they never see Dark Waters?
in order to be MAGA you must be able to believe that you are in the majority, that everyone is on your side, and evidence to the contrary is propaganda
Red: Oh, Bob's cutting down a tree in his front yard.
Kitty: By HIMSELF? Doesn't he know that's incredibly DANGEROUS?
Red: Well, you know what they say about Bob: he's STUPID!
they dint like it when hes more outspoken now than before. its the same thing they said about trek and dr who shows, come on the shows is about things other than white christian straight men, can thave women especially poc in charge.
they have been calling woke, or variation on every scifi that "includes women in power" its prior to it becoming a thing in movies and shows when the executives started forcing that narrative.
Remind him to work a twelver that day in honor of the poor business owners who were unfairly forced to let their employees have eight hour days by the Haymarket strikes. And no overtime for it either.
In the same vein, it wasnt that long ago that here on Lemmy someone was giving me shit because I won't throw my Harry Potter movies away. Like, it's not gonna take the money back from Rowling if I do that. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Unless they are sending you a pre-paid postage envelope/box to send to them, how would that cost WOTC anything? It would cost YOU money to send it to them.
It costs a company money to process mail at their place if business. Not like, crazy amounts but someone has to open the box, see what's in it and figure out why it's there. It's probably going to cost them at least $2-$3 in time.
It's far from an effective way to cost them money, but it's $2 more than throwing a book away at your house.
Exactly They have to recieve, store, open, process and pay for the disposal of the items. Its nothing if 10 people do it, 10,000 people mailing back a box full of books becomes a logistical headache very quickly.
yea, but that was bad, daddy Trump didn't like it! They should deport him! why say such a thing? look how USA citizens are scared doing nothing, he should be scare and say nothing.
Do nothing bro, you are finished!
Basically he called tRUMP a rapist, and said Renee Good was murdered.
Both of which are true. The orange kiddie fiddler has been involved in about 30 sexual based court cases over the decades, the most prominent ones are the E Jean Carroll trial, and also his ex wife where he paid her off handsomely but one of the conditions was she wasn't allowed to call what he did to her rape.
And Renee Good was obviously murdered. I mean even if she was aiming her car at the pig that murdered her it's still illegal to just shoot unarmed criminals. So it's deffo murder to shoot an unarmed mother pulling out of her driveway in the head 3 times.
However, some people think it's ok to rape and murder...
I mean even if she was aiming her car at the pig that murdered her it's still illegal to just shoot unarmed criminals.
The problem with this sentiment is that motor vehicles can and have been used as lethal weapons before.
This absolutely isn't a defense of ICE murdering a person, but there are definitely instances where use of lethal force on a driver with no other weapons is warranted.
Although police are evidently trained not to fire into a moving vehicle. If the vehicle is a danger, you have to use another vehicle to stop it. If on foot, just stay out of the way of possible danger (which the guy also screwed up by walking toward being in front of the vehicle).
See what happened in this case, when he killed her, did that stop the car? No it sent the car accelerating uncontrolled down the road until colliding with a parked car stopped it. No amount of shooting the car would have stopped it or made it less likely to hit him.
Using a car to stop another car, yeah, they do that (and it's risky enough as it is), but don't shoot into a moving car, the risk is just too high.
My point is that a person behind the wheel of a car isn't harmless.
The fact that it's not harmless is what negates the terrorist's claim of self defense because he intentionally positioned himself in front of it. He wouldn't have been in any danger if he took literally two steps to the right.
But I don't disagree with anything you said, I'm just clarifying my point. Well, I disagree with calling ICE law enforcement.
Yep, I completely agree.
The pigs are trained to not stand in front of cars, I mean most children are taught at a very young age to not do that.
The only reasons for that murderer to circle then stand in front of her car are that he has less intelligence than most children, or he wanted to escalate things so he could pull his gun out and shoot someone.
Both could be true, but the latter is most likely.
Exactly. The terrorist was creating a situation in which he could murder.
I just take issue with the notion that a person behind the wheel of a multi ton death machine is harmless. They're not harmless, which is why intentionally standing in front of the vehicle negates the ICE agent's claim of self defense.
Reminds me of the Iraq War era, when angry conservatives were buying expensive French wine (or had already bought it) just to make a spectacle of pouring it down a drain (in protest at France refusing to send troops into Iraq).
Saying "you deleted the Avengers films from your Apple TV, yet you've already paid for those" is a lot like saying "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism". Seriously!
There's an idea for using AI for good.
Start having Ai generated ads of things Maga likes so they end up destroying all their property.
Owning things is so fucking woke, own the libs, rent everything from bezos
"Introducing! The new trans-friendly AR-15! "
The toilet razor is amazing to me. Like, surely, he had to get that out of the toilet. So like... After the picture now what?
That's the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.

MAGA is such a destructive movement, they even destroy their own stuff
Somehow I never knew all this happened.
I still don't. What did Banner do?
I wonder what hbomb is doing nowadays, cause it's clearly not making videos anymore.
He's actually working on a video about Adobe right now. You can watch the first one and a half hours of it on his patreon. It's a very good video so far. Can recommend
How do you know what it's about if you've only seen the first 1.5hrs of it .... He probably hasn't even introduced who he actually wanted to talk about yet
I typically enjoy the subject matter rug pull at hour 4 of his video essays. But they only really start getting good at season 3 of the same video.
Reminded me that Mark Ruffalo actually created a Mastodon account in 2022. For a second i thought it was just fever dream i had, but it is actually true
Stopped posting on it in favor of bluesky though.
EDIT: wording
No, not at all. I actually thought about adding โ, but you canโt really blame him for thatโ to my post when writing :)
well shit ! just DM'd him to encourage him to crosspost using one of those Bsky to Masto bridges. I'm sure he'll get back to me in between avengings

Well, you know what they say about MAGATS: "They're stupid."
I couldn't find a clip, but...
Red: Oh, Bob's cutting down a tree in his front yard.
Kitty: By HIMSELF? Doesn't he know that's incredibly DANGEROUS?
Red: Well, you know what they say about Bob: he's STUPID!
Are you telling me the people who didn't know RAtM was political didn't realize an actor was an activist?
I thought it meant Rage Alongside The Machine.
They are surprised because they are magats
I think you meant maggots /s
They are all idiots, what do you expect?
To be fair, people act in/as things they disagree with.
Hell, Disney makes a ton of "rebellion" themed works. They also fund arthouse films. Spoilers, disney are not the good guys, they're the empire.
they dint like it when hes more outspoken now than before. its the same thing they said about trek and dr who shows, come on the shows is about things other than white christian straight men, can thave women especially poc in charge.
Imagine being mad at an actor who says murder is wrong...
For all we know, many of these angry commenters are bots.
Imagine making a bot that gets mad at actors for saying murder is wrong...
The right: It's beautiful.
You've never been to the USA?
We're not in the US. We're on Lemmy. And on Lemmy, about half are some mindless Russian bots/shills.
I swear conservatives are some of the dumbest people
They're also hypocrites because they'll scream about "cancel culture" too.
Start doing it back when they post this shit. Best fun i've had since i told a redpiller "you sound fat"
they have been calling woke, or variation on every scifi that "includes women in power" its prior to it becoming a thing in movies and shows when the executives started forcing that narrative.
this is a line straight from preschool playground lol
You're right! Even preschoolers can see how stupid conservatives are.
No, I mean " I deleted all your films" sounds like the kinda comeback you'd come up with at around 8yo
consider most of them never pass middle school, yes they are that stupid. consuming right wing media makes them even stupider.
They just now put it together because Ruffalo is starting to look like Bernie. That hair tho, lol.
Like finding out "Rage Against the Machine" is a political band...
You're wrong, they're really fucking mad at the dishwasher.
Inkjet printer
The best tweet ever.
or that someone told them to get upset about it. they got upset of over PASCAL, doctor who(women related roles),,,etc.
That was my reply to a coworker who days before May First had a rant about how he does not respect that day as a holiday, and he will work instead!
Remind him to work a twelver that day in honor of the poor business owners who were unfairly forced to let their employees have eight hour days by the Haymarket strikes. And no overtime for it either.

Just pirate them multiple times a day until she goes bankrupt.
I can't tell if you think that's how things work or just being sarcastic...
i feel like OP knows it doesnt work that way and made a joke poking fun at how corpos want you to think it works this way.
Precisely.
It's mocking corpos for crying about how much money they've lost with each pirated download of something.
I got into a spat on lemmy a while ago when I said Rowling wouldn't care about people burning her books as she already had the money for them.
It is way more effective gifting them to people who would have bought new if they did not received a used oneโฆ
If there are less books in the field, the value of the books rises, which in turn allows to sell new ones more expensive as well.
When WOTC started to fuck up D&D and people were talking about chucking their books away I was encouraging them to mail them back to WOTC instead.
If you're going to protest a company you have to figure out how to cost them money.
Unless they are sending you a pre-paid postage envelope/box to send to them, how would that cost WOTC anything? It would cost YOU money to send it to them.

Why is Mark Ruffalo now the bad guy?
Because he had the audacity to mention the suboptimal situation going in the USA and that he's worried and scared.
Oh my god, that's horrible of him! That green guy who's never in the same room with him should smash him!
๐
Probably said something a decent human being would say.
yea, but that was bad, daddy Trump didn't like it! They should deport him! why say such a thing? look how USA citizens are scared doing nothing, he should be scare and say nothing.

Of course, I never called ICE law enforcement, I just said that police are trained on this matter, I don't think ICE is even vaguely trained
Yep, I completely agree.

Hey, human, thanks, I really had no idea.
But, of course, I should have suspected it was just this. The truth is the thing that infuriates this administration the most.
Because he's a good guy.
Reminds me of the Iraq War era, when angry conservatives were buying expensive French wine (or had already bought it) just to make a spectacle of pouring it down a drain (in protest at France refusing to send troops into Iraq).
"Freedom fries"
Man, i was in my extremely stupid 20's and thought that was the most toddler level shit i'd ever seen
Oh my god, freedom fries. Fucks sake I almost forgot.
Or buying cases of Bud Light so they could shoot them, to protest the fact that Bud thanked a trans person who liked their beer.
"I hate you! I'm giving you money to insult you and prove it!"
"Okay, I guess?"
If all those MAGA only realized how radicalized they are.
For real. Nobody is more brainwashed, and they are the ONLY ones who don't see it.
the thing is they dont believe they are, they are told to not believe with thier eyes and ears.
This is like buying a 24 pack of BudLight then shooting it on camera.
It turns out the book store will keep selling you books to burn.
"The more you buy, the more you save"!
What about Thor: Ragnarok?
It's woke, there's a black lady in it
I can't believe they let this happen. Wasn't this why we gave away all of these rights? To further disenfranchise minorities?!
Dumbshits rigged an economy so they can't even go and say they got a refund for it
Mark Ruffalo is a mensch. He's fantastic in Task
The dude was dead right with what he said. Of course a certain ton of mongols need to find something to undermine that.
Saying "you deleted the Avengers films from your Apple TV, yet you've already paid for those" is a lot like saying "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism". Seriously!
Lol why are you getting downvoted for saying the truth?๐
Because the two things are not at all analogous
Thatโs what you think lol
