I went to look at comments to a rally announcement he posted in a chat on Jul 31 in search of hints about what happened at the rally and where Jason is now.

Here is the link: https://old.reddit.com/r/windsorontario/comments/1vbd88q/reclaim_our_future_rally_2pm_saturday_august_1st/

And apparently people were quite confrontational (and announcement was removed by mods eventually), some quotes:

Someone needs to show him how to prompt AI to format posts better. Maybe the LLM even knows what they're trying to achieve is suspect, so it half-assed it.

Guys, it's starting to sound like this isn't just an anti-data centre rally, which I could get behind, but a recruitment rally for unhinged sovereign citizen types.

It feels like it's bait & switch, instead of a genuine protest they want to recruit members for the cult.

So I guess it's possible there was some confrontation in RL as well, or maybe cops checked his booklets he planned to give out and found some "red flag" phrases, as it seems Canadian free speech restrictions are harsher than in US and closer to European ones.

Is Jason missing in action?

He was commenting here yesterday: https://goatmatrix.net/usercomments/JasonCarswell

Nice try FED BOI!

[-]Neol1(+1|0)

Huh, I should have checked that before posting, I just thought he would comment on speculations in chat first.

[-]LarrySwinger2(+2|0)

I didn't expect that either, it did feel like he was absent. I looked into this this morning in fact, was looking for coverage of the rally to see if something got out of and hand if there were detainments perhaps. There was no news coverage of the event whatsoever. It looks like he's here though.

Also I don't think those le reddit comments hold any significance, this is how people on that abomination of a website always respond and I don't think any of them would've come to the rally.

This comment has the feel of an astroturfing Ai bot.

[-]Neol2(+2|0)

Yeah, he didn't post in chat since Aug 1 (last message was "Global anti-data center day! - https://Projex.Wiki/wiki/Reclaim_Our_Future_Rally").

He also planned to invite people to https://wefreedom.submatrix.net/ (which is based on Goatmatrix tech), the URL was on booklets as I understand.

Funny.

Never bothered to revisit it since posting. Too busy. Haven't read yet it but nothing will surprise me - whether it's Reddit mods, retarded Windsorites, good folks, or whatever.

To the points above:

  • I haven't used A.I. to prompt/format/whatever any of my text, EVER - until Raymond gave me a link that I improved (added "programmable money" and a few tweaks) for my first generated text - a pamphlet (not shared online, only printed out) that explains the problems with A.I. and data centers. It's still not online, so everything I've ever written that's out there is 100% human.

  • What's the matter with sovereign humans, hinged or not? "Sovereign citizen" is an oxymoron.

  • It was NEVER a "protest". It was a rally to raise awareness about the critical issues, legal ramifications, as well as potential solutions - which might include effective ways to protest. Cult is the root of culture.

I don't know if it's worth "softening" my words in an attempt to appeal to those on the fence or not (please discuss), but I suspect those who take our fences will gatekeep regardless.

There was zero IRL confrontation. No drama. Just good times and good folks. Police on bicycles were around (holiday weekend, lots of passerbys, etc.) but they didn't stop.

Gonna take a look at the Reddit comments now...

Promoted with an AI generated image. How fitting.

Agreed. I thought it was more interesting that HAL 9000 - including the deep layers and multi-directional options. Where are we going? Flyer image sourced from this music video: Max Cooper - Repetition (Official Video By Kevin McGloughlin) (5:57). I don't know if McGloughlin used A.I. or not.

Someone needs to show him how to prompt AI to format posts better. Maybe the LLM even knows what they're trying to achieve is suspect, so it half-assed it.

Better: explain how my posts could have been formatted better. Vague complaints fix nothing.

I kept it bare-bones and simple to keep to the point and keep it clear. Details can be discovered there.

LOL. The Reddit NPC Cult Brigade is strong in Windsor. The one guy who liked it got ratio-ed to oblivion: eccsoheccsseven -18 points 12 days ago "Looks very cool. How long is the event going for? What's the format going to be? I'd love to show up to this."

And now to read the comments on this OP. Thanks for this amusement Neol.

I think they saw the Max Cooper artwork and thought, "Nobody could do that without AI."

Alternately, one guy on lemmy said he upvoted only because he noticed Max Cooper.

Once again, For promotion, Lemmy appears to be better than Reddit. But tis a siren song.

That article couldn't be more pejoratively biased if they tried. That oxymoron term seems to offend the statists more than "conspiracy theorist".

Sovereign = independent and free.
Citizen = ward of the state.

They couldn't be more different.

[-]x0x71(+1|0)

Woah. I'm not a citizen according to definition 1a in Webster's dictionary:

1
a
: a native or naturalized person who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it
She was an American citizen but lived most of her life abroad.
b
: a member of a state
2
: an inhabitant of a city or town
especially : one entitled to the rights and privileges of a freeman
3
: a civilian as distinguished from a specialized servant of the state
Soldiers were sent to protect the citizens.

Maybe sovereign resident is better. Or we could use Wordnet notation. Sovereign.a.02a citizen.n.02.

Just like citizen.n.02 maps well to 'resident', sovereign.a.02a maps kind of ok to 'independent'. So maybe "independent resident" is the real ticket.

[-]JasonCarswell2(+2|0)

D.C. is an odd place too. IIRC Simon Dixon got into it a bit recently.

"Terrorist" is a label they stick on you to remove your rights too.
You're born with all the rights. Governments can only remove rights, not give them.

Before entering any court, first establish which terms they will use by learning which version of Black's Law Dictionary they use. Their words sound the same but mean VERY different things.

"Corporations are people too."

[-]x0x73(+3|0)

Slightly related.

I had made similar posts promoting the event on Lemmy. I find it interesting the differences between the two. Reddit and Lemmy have very similar psychology in a lot respects. Most areas. But the few differences are interesting.

On Reddit, their users thrive on tearing down anything that's different. Every user wants to be seen as smart (same on all platforms). But the mode changes from site to site. Because reddit's mode is finding a way to be critical of things that are outside the hive they will grasp at any straw to complain. Their hope isn't to tear you down. It's to get noticed in a sea of thousands of users. So they will reach for anything.

Lemmy on the other hand is kind of similar but a little less rabid. You can fly under their radar of criticism, with some cleverness.

The problem with them vs most other sites for promoting anything (having had experience with movie nights), is they don't respond to anything with the next step. They support the positive thing with an updoot. Movie night posts were always very popular there. The post was, not the movie night. On some other sites I would see the exact opposite. 1 upvote, 7 people show up. Vs 40 upvotes and 1000 views. Not a single soul if it's Lemmy.

https://lemmy.world/post/50157773
https://lemmy.world/post/50157522

So while my Lemmy posts were more popular, it didn't really do anything to promote his event. It got some positive exposure to Projex and Submatrix.

Lemmy, while it's a lot easier to drum them up to show positivity toward something, won't click on a link to a movie, much less actually show up to a physical event. But they are trained a lot better to click the upvote button. So if all you want is something to be seen, it works.

If you want to have something seen on Reddit, it needs to be 90% similar to the other 90% of content.

I agree, the Redditers are all liberal, brainwashed to think and post a certain way. They are Pro AI Data Centers and Pro Censorship and Cancelation. Poor Jason, he shook the Bee Hive and the Bees came out and stung him.

[-]LarrySwinger2(+2|0)

Admittedly Jason's skin is relatively thick. I don't think he even looked at it after posting. If he had, he would still be arguing with them.

[-]JasonCarswell3(+3|0)

True. Thick skin, hard head, stubborn insistence of correctness (hopefully with receipts) - same diff.

Wrong. Fuck timesuck STaBs (shills, trolls, and bots). Not worth it.

Though it is too bad they locked that thread and I can't reply.
I would have liked to have reached out, clarified on their issues (but not be dragged into nonsense), and hopefully get to meet them in person to see what kind of real people they may be here in Windsor.

[-]RickSanchez3(+3|0)

Better Jason not argue with Redditors, some are AI chatbots.

[-]JasonCarswell1(+1|0)

They're not all brainwashed.
It's not all futile.
I didn't get stung.

If anything, we didn't get enough local support and promotion from our own Freedom Movement people.

Also, it was all done in under 2 weeks.

This is not our last rally, on this issue or others.

[-]RickSanchez2(+2|0)

Keep trying, I support your cause and if I was in Winsor I would join you.

[-]JasonCarswell2(+2|0)

Greatly appreciated.

[-]JasonCarswell2(+2|0)

Thanks for the Lemmy shout out!

This is useful social media analysis.

What I'm wondering - is it even worth tuning bespoke messages to different platforms?
