さよなら皆さん
Nazo@stux Although we have now reached the point that the axe isn't even convincing the trees he is one of them. At this point the axe just promises to hurt only other trees that they are told that they hate. They see the axe cutting them down, but all they understand is that they are told they hate specific other trees in the forest, so it's fine if they get hurt a little along the way for the sake of hurting the others they don't actually even know.

millennial fulcrumI guarantee you the axe is not clever.
it is that a majority of the trees wanted to fucking die.
Hanna Martin@stux Life lesson fully illustrated
知耻而未勇@stux 中国共产党领袖也说过“我是人民的儿子”、“我们党是工人阶级先锋队”、“为人民服务”之类。
可悲的是：那些被定制的正能量竟然相信这些谎言。
Chinese Communist Party leaders have also said things like "I am the son of the people," "Our Party is the vanguard of the working class," and "Serve the people."
Tragedyly, those who are being molded into promoting positive energy actually believe these lies.
Haji Mokhtar Stork@stux It sounds and is like politicians worldwide.
@stux I liked this one. It represents politicians.
Håkan Geijer@stux not an actual proverb https://kolektiva.social/@hakan_geijer/114808370444508054
Håkan Geijer (@[email protected])
Attached: 1 image A pet peeve is people misusing this alleged proverb (such as below) where it's made more and more explicit so that it can only be interpreted in a single way. And then is still presented as being the original proverb, with it being an old phrase giving gravitas to whatever hamfisted point the author is trying to make. The actual proverb is "Ağaca balta vurmuşlar 'sapı bedenimden' demiş" which translates more accurately to "They hit the tree with an axe, and the tree said 'the handle is of my body.'" There's so much going on in the world, and to post about this rather than anything else seems like a frivolity, but it grates on me because there is endless misinformation with no attribution floating around as if it were The Truth, and we should do everything we can to retain our tenuous grasp on reality. "It's okay when I make things up because I'm the goodie who's deriding the baddie" is actually total dogshit. Stop.

@konstruct @stux Indeed, seems to have been created by a slop account active on Instagram, Facebook and possibly X. Started as New Age horseshit but like all "good" slop accounts, they go with the wind.
@ScriptFanix @stux the only times AI slop is used to post woke things is when it's profitable
@maybe JD Vance is the axe.....or a big spray bottle of Roundup.
Zoidberg For President@stux What if all you can vote for are axes?
Cut down the system instead! The trees don't need masters.
Also, we don't need aigen.

Aleksandr Koltsoff@stux vote out the genai slop while at it.
BallisticPunk@stux the axe aint clever. The trees and idiots.
TormodBob Marley positioned the small axe as resistance to oppression. The actions of regular people can bring down large systems.
Space Hobo@stux
pretty sure the axe in this book is meant to represent freemasons

Bubacarr Sowe@stux how accurate!
sheislaurence@stux lest people forgot : the Axis, which i assume is a key reason why the story chose an axe over any other object or creature for its #fascism allegory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_powers
Steen Eiler Jørgensen@stux That's "cleaver".
