They didn’t abandon capitalism, they won capitalism, the end goal of capitalism is to be the new richest king of the world, the tech elites succeeded, this is what you capitalists wanted
the american financial elite, all at once, had abandoned capitalism in an attempt to purchase the power of the state.

So much of "cancel culture" discourse is a re-description of the normal functioning of a democracy and public discourse by people who didn't like the results of one, or both, or how it made them feel.
Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!

if AI is making people work even more I'm not sure what even the stated point is
The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.
Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week
Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.

its so funny that so much of our government is just held up by gentlemens promises and you can just do insane stuff because nobody thought about it before.

Like "the president can demolish large sections of the white house because he just didn't staff the approval committee" should not be true.
There's a committee that's supposed to approve all significant changes.

Trump just didn't bother appointing anyone to it, so it currently does not exist.

He also did not consult with the building's owners...the National Park Service.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes
“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

Weird how time works isn’t it? In some US states a pregnant 11 year-old isn’t allowed an abortion because they need to deal with the “adult” consequences of getting pregnant, but 35 year-old neo-Nazis in the govt group chat are “boys” doing “things young boys do”

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Liberal pro-Israel politics in the United States and the Anglosphere writ large relies upon an idealized version of a state which does not exist, a political elite which does not act the way the West pretends it does, and a civil society which is far more conservative than the West likes to imagine.

Assuming that truth is essentially discursive in the sense that finding it requires a procedure to follow through and communicating it requires a explanatory and justificatory context, LLMs are by their very nature incapable of generating true results, even if they happen to be factually correct.

the thing about the entire tron series is that the universe they're in doesn't have any lesbians.

see, thing is that they invented teleportation via USB peripheral, and that's in the original movie.

if lesbians had this we'd either take over or fuck each other to extinction.

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.
