No sé si otros eligen creer en la predestinación, o si estaba escrito que yo creería en el libre albedrío.

La sabiduría es el arte de la inconsistencia.

Ser una persona de bien implica el coraje de rebelarse contra la conformidad de grupo.

No se llama “envidia” a lo que siente la víctima de un robo. Es imposible definir la envidia sin referencia a lo justo/injusto.

The human species will begin to become rational when people stop fixating on their favorite zero-sum games—namely, the pursuit of power and status.

The classic moving of the goalposts by defenders of an unjust status quo, when they run out of arguments: shifting from what ought to be to what is.

One can discuss how things *should* be and how things *actually* are today. But let’s not confuse the two levels.

Statistical fascists are overrepresented among people who shout and insult. So, I know that many who say nothing will have already internalized the concept.

For example, white statistical fascists resist negative generalizations about white people based on the fact that white people are overrepresented in mass shootings, white-collar crimes, colonialism, and the instigation of world wars.

•Morally Repugnant: Like all forms of fascism, it is deeply immoral. The statistical fascist resists having their own methods applied to their own group.

•Intellectually Defective: It ignores the fact that it would be extraordinarily improbable for the percentage of any negative characteristic in a human group to be exactly the same as in all other groups.

This intent and result—hatred against a collective—are what transform these claims from mere statistics into statistical fascism.

Statistical Fascism Is:

On the contrary, the goal is to generalize hatred, fear, or disdain toward the entire targeted group, instilling support for repressive or discriminatory actions that affect ALL members of the group in question—not just the individuals responsible for sanctionable behaviors, as in liberal democracy.

In statistical fascism, these claims are never aimed at investigating potential injustice or discrimination as the cause of overrepresentation.

For example: "While less than 1% of people are transgender, transgender individuals make up 15% of the prison population" (a claim retweeted by Elon Musk, the veracity of which I’m not interested in verifying).

Its favorite tool is the accusation of overrepresentation of a particular group in something negative.

Statistical Fascism: The New Strain of Fascism

Statistical fascism is the new strain of fascism, where the message of hatred toward "the other" relies on statistics.

Puedo imaginar a un robot sintiendo tristeza, alegría o enojo. Pero no puedo imaginarlo sintiendo nostalgia.

Universal Basic Income is the antidote to Technofeudalism.

The courage to oppose the constant expansion of our own countries and groups is the evolutionary adaptation necessary for the survival of our species.

El coraje para oponernos a la constante expansión de nuestros propios países y grupos es la adaptación evolutiva necesaria para la supervivencia de nuestra especie.

"Virtue signaling": an euphemism of rebranded fascism to say "you have to be an asshole."

The proposals aimed at helping people distinguish truth from disinformation are more strongly opposed by the alt-right than by any other political orientation. What does this suggest?

Las propuestas que buscan que la gente pueda distinguir la verdad de la desinformación son más resistidas por la nueva derecha que por cualquier otra orientación política. ¿Qué sugiere esto?

It is essential to strengthen the critical mass between idiots and assholes.

Es fundamental reforzar la masa crítica entre los idiotas y los hijos de puta.

“Empatía suicida” y “señalización de virtud”: dos eufemismos del fascismo recauchutado para decir “hay que ser hijo de puta”.

“Suicidal empathy" and "virtue signaling": two euphemisms of rebranded fascism to say "you have to be an asshole."

No opinion about what should or shouldn't be done is valid unless you can uphold it under the veil of ignorance: after imagining that you will be conceived again, but under completely uncertain conditions of time, place, family, socioeconomic status, nationality, and group affiliations.

The basic requirement for happiness in a right-wing society is not so much being blind to those who suffer the most, but being blind to who dominates you.
