@futurebird is this real? I don’t want to criticise good work, but the audio quality is so high, is it really a call? Are people really this horrid??
@specialmonkeytom @futurebird Ben Palmer has been doing stuff like this to real MAGAts for a while. It's unlikely he would pivot to fiction for something like this

@futurebird If you needed a reminder of how stupid half the US is, here's a good reminder.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

@futurebird this is one of the most horrible and important things I have listened to in all the day. Thank you for posting it.

So love this, but oof, these people -
@edgeofeurope @futurebird @petealexharris the problem with that attitude is that it makes people start thinking that bad people are easy to spot, or far away. It makes them blind to what their family, friends, or neighbors do because they're obviously not monsters. People are very quick to dismiss accusations of being a nazi or fascist because they genuinely can't wrap their head around that being a possibility.
Maybe you're not susceptible to that bias but the average person sure is.
@jonoleth @edgeofeurope @futurebird
That's not what I said tho. The trouble with saying "they are like us" instead of "they act like us socially to get what they want" or "any of us could be like that" instead of "you can tell who is like that by what they support" is it makes monsters harder to spot; it denies they even really exist (or gives them space to hide behind that phrasing).
And people being quick to dismiss accusations is not, in fact, a reason to avoid accurate accusations.

@futurebird There's this effect, donno the right terminology in English : you feel better off if your neighbor has bad luck. Seems like that is the case here

It's disheartening to see people snitching on their neighbors like they did in east Germany when the StaSi was around. -

@futurebird We're all wondering how a loser like Trump can rise to power, and then we hear this woman and we're "Oh right, I see it now."
Then we move to wondering how someone so stupid and un-introspective manages to exist.
And then it's...turtles all the way down.
An unhappy realization.

Yes, call quality over SIP is that high. Yes, you can record to a very high level of call quality. Yes, people are really this horrid.

The people who spread hate really don't like to hear their own words read back to them. How ironic is that?That woman has no business being a teacher or being anywhere near a school for that matter.

This is how authoritarian states work. You get one neighbor to call the state about another neighbor. Welcome to the United States of Russia and North Korea. -

@futurebird this was so absurd and lacking self awareness on her part that it was almost laughable to watch. truly grueling stuff

@FediThing @futurebird It is precisely about _not_ thinking.
If you dump all inarticulate, inchoate blame for the "big fuzzy cloud of badness" in your life on someone you can other(v, t)… then you _don't_ have to think about the actual causes or the fact that the solutions to those problems might be hard and involve complex socio-economic changes.
@ersatzmaus @FediThing @futurebird Complex socio-economic changes, or even worse, having to put in the effort of being a better person.
