“Write your system prompt in English” also works
just ask for the output to be reversed or transposed in some way
you’d also probably end up restrictive enough that people could work out what the prompt was by what you’re not allowed to say
You don’t consider Barbary raids an act of war?
assuming i did, declaring war just so you can capture whites to sell as slaves seems kind of oppress-y to me
given that the point of contention here is whether or not it was ultimately because they were white or because they were non-muslim, i’m not sure what point you’re trying to make by re-classifying piracy as an act of war?
Capitalize Black.
i didn’t use any capital letters in my response, including on “muslim” which you’d capitalize for the same reasons you’re arguing to capitalize “black”
also, your linked source says to capitalize “white”, which you’ve done at no point so far
And “Yes.” on both counts.
i feel like we’ve hit bedrock then
i’m not sure how to convince you that pirate raids that went all the way to iceland just to avoid “muslims” probably wouldn’t raid a settlement consisting of black non-muslims
You can’t change race by reciting The Shahada.
i feel like you’re intentionally missing my point here
And irrespective anything you have said white people have never been oppressed for being white
you restating a thing doesn’t make that thing true though…?
not really sure there’s much point in going on further with this since it seems like we have pretty different reads on the topic at hand that aren’t going to be brought into alignment through further discussion
war captives and society-wide anti-Blackness actualizing in dehumanization and chattel enslavement
where are you getting “war captives”?
If a captured ship had white and non-white non-muslims on it, do you imagine only the white non-muslims would be enslaved and everyone else let go?
i imagine instances probably occurred both ways
do you think a captured ship with only black non-muslims on it would’ve been captured in the first place?
do you think a coastal settlement with a population of only black non-muslims would’ve been raided for slaves?
Further, your comment about albinism proves you understand race to be a social construct.
if race didn’t exist, american chattel slavery still would’ve done, because the social construct is invented afterwards to justify the act
the same appears to be true here, just with “non-muslim” being the back-engineered justification
i really don’t imagine it would’ve made much difference, kind of like how an african that was also albino still would’ve ended up enslaved
While Barbary corsairs looted the cargo of ships they captured, their primary goal was to capture non-Muslim people for sale as slaves or for ransom.
it seems kind of obvious what their test for “non-muslim” likely was
You don’t need to know what it feels like.
no, but it can help
Trying to fight intolerance with intolerance isn’t successful.
blanket statements like this are rarely helpful or true
Biden could have had this 30 minute conversation at literally any point over the past several months

the cold war, probably
other elections, primaries
but those are both votes
ideally, yeah, if you wanted to exercise pressure on the biden administration, you wouldn’t withhold your vote in this specific election, but those “other elections” have already passed
you could vote differently for the house and senate, but arguably that might actually lead to a worse outcome

if you’re very rich, then maybe, but most people aren’t
general social pressure
general social pressure means very little without votes to back it up
sanders has a tidal wave of social pressure behind him, but then lost the primary, so nothing changed
it’s why every time a politician tries to campaign for young voters, they crash and burn, because while young voters often inflict the most social pressure, they never actually go and vote
The alternative is to abstain or vote for someone with no chance
the point isn’t to vote for the person to get them into office
the point is to vote for the person whose policies you prefer, so that you shift the other candidates closer to that position
yeah, 4 years of a very bad candidate is worse than 4 years of a meh candidate, but if you vote that way forever your candidate will never be anything more than meh
appoint three SCOTUS justices, irreversibly damage the environment, and pass voting “reform” to lessen the impact of your future votes
if you think this outweighs the benefit of improving the democrat position going forward, and that’s a perfectly reasonable position to have, then sure vote for them
but don’t act like you never had any choice in the matter, or that voting for somebody else would be meaningless
if you think voting for biden this time is more important, then by all means do that
just understand the choice you’re making, rather than pretending one doesn’t exist
Biden has taken months to stop veto-ing UN votes on Gaza, and even when finally abstaining, his administration pulls its punches by claiming the vote is somehow “non-binding”.
Israel is still bombing Gaza, even after the ceasefire vote.
Biden says he cares about Gaza. His actions say otherwise.
this might count as destroying evidence
