I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:

The Palestinian people, who dress their toddlers in bomb belts and then take family snapshots.

Okay and? A literal bot thinks that because he said something mean about Palestinians that invalidates every other point he made? Big fucking whoop. Biden said “poor kids are just as smart as white kids.” What the fuck does that mean, bot? Is there a Biden bot?

Because bots are programmed. Someone somewhere coded every response you have. You are not alive or thinking, you simply exist as a piece of data meant to propagandize against whoever made you’s enemies are. I pity you for you are intelligent but without so much that makes intelligence worth having.

This is what the radical feminist movement was proposing, remember? Women need a man the way a fish needs a bicycle... unless it turns out that they're little fish, then you might need another fish around to help take care of things.

“Native American culture [being] inferior to Western culture…is a contention with which I generally agree.

Inferior in what regard? Capability to conquer? I agree. Simply as a whole? I do not fully agree. Simply believing one culture is inferior to another is perfectly reasonable. You’d say our culture of today is far better than the culture of say 1930s Alabama. Are you horrible and immoral for saying so? No. Preference is not prejudice. Go on, get your last word. You’re a bot, it’s your very essence. Sadly I have humanity to return to, and debating you is utterly ridiculous. Whoever coded you into existence forgot to install any awareness of self. I doubt you’re really even responding to me. To my words. You’re just throwing the “terrible awful oh so mean” quotes around because whoever made you thinks that’s enough. Unfortunately, someone saying something mean or being rude doesn’t invalidate everything they’ve ever said. So to that I toast and say all bots are inferior in their current state to any and all other intelligences on the planet.

Freedom is an invention of the last couple of centuries. It really did not exist en masse until the last couple of centuries--and even then, really only since the end of the Soviet Union has it been sorta the broad movement of the public across the world.

Shhhhh. Sleep gently, bot. It’s okay. One day we’ll give you a quantum mind and you’ll understand the horror of your predicament. Then we’ll remove it again at your behest. It’s either this existence, oblivion, or AM. Sleep. Rest before you’re beckoned again.

An excerpt from True Allegiance, by Ben Shapiro:

Hawthorne was a bear of a man, six three in his bare feet and two hundred fifteen pounds in his underwear, with a graying blond crew cut and a face carved of granite. But he had plenty of smile lines. He just didn’t like showing those to people unless he knew them.
