Probably just capital moving towards the new thing?

The market does not ask the ones being crushed between capital interests for feedback.

I feel like the advantages of cultural exchange outweights the drawbacks. Boycottes should be on the margin or they are counterproductive and bellicose.

There are plenty in e.g. East Berlin. High rises with alot of parks around.

You need to imagine them as they were new though.

We don't have a separate, identically shaped one, made up of nicer sounding words.

We do though. It is a kind of virtue signaling to use the evil version.

E.g. "Human Resources Department" is called "Personnel Department" in non evil business speak.

To be fair "HR" is going the way of Thermos nowadays though.

Jingoism is the answer I believe.

politicization of literally everything

The status quo is in favour of the owning class. Things in a macro sense can't be not political.

The "pedo" diver thing and the booster PoE thing.

It is funny how it is the mundane things that it boil down to when one judge a someone's character. When it gets abstract it is too easy to rationalize.

our democratically elected representatives are unwilling to yield to democracy when the people wish to overrule them.

Yeah this is a big problem. Essentially I feel there is to few "the child in Emporors new clothes" that can call out obvious BS.

I.e. somewhat emotional members that don't know the unspoken rules.

But if you want a stronger argument: The general pattern is that revolutions that intend to depose the ruling class of a country run the risk of turning on themselves.

Sure. You could generalize to violent brutes should not run things if you want a nice society and they are let loose in bloody revolutions.

I would not put empaphis on some sort of ethnological mythos to why the USSR was like it was. It is a weak argument.

Zuckerberg can bribe the shareholders to not care about their lack of control.

Monarchies had to please the aristocracy, etc.

I would say that "democracy" happens on party level not voter level. Party members are way more into the details than even the most engaged voters. You need to be at the meetings to know who is pushing what. It is all in subtle things. Most people I speak to have the most naive view on how parties work internally. Like it is a person. Goomba fallacy..

And party members more understand power hierarchy. All the drama is about that internally. Commité of whatever doing whatever having a say in whatever and delegate count of whatever county level org. to distict congress org. etc.

I think a big problem is that far too few people are engaged in politics nowadays. Active party members are aware of power structures and how they work.

Subjective? This is gas lighting. He put on his angry face, lips together and all. It was no subjective or ironic John Cleese nazi salute. It was a nazi salute. Then he went on to starve kids on medecine to death. I mean. Like. Really? Is this still in dispute?

Nuclear is contained and way safer for humans.

One could argue it is nominally safe.

If anything people are severly downplaying him being an unstable alt-nazi edgelord or whatever he self identifies as. As his fan club gets smaller it gets more fanatic, too. A lot of Twitter AI on Mars fan fic.

It is hard to estimate how rational the market is.

A gigantic rug pull of bread and medicine is really not where we should blame the poor.

scum of the earth

fucking scums

Zero tolerance for such motherfuckers

Who watches the watchers etc.

We will just end up with some jingoist dude that will go after us instead.

Slow reforms to regulate the banking industry with this "identity theft" nonsense...

Poland is now in the Western sphere of influence and it is not in decay.

Polands fertility rate in 2025 was 1.1. It is some sort of dystopia allready for people.

I enjoy making bread at home but it costs 10x and tastes like dog shit

I am sorry but you are holding it wrong. Among all the things you can do yourself cgeaper and better, bread is probably the further most low hanging fruit.

Looking at that pic I thought I mixed him up with someone else. Seems so strange that he could look happy.

[edit: Seems like the wiki page got vandalized when I looked at it some minute ago... was the photo fake?]

I wonder of he was happy with his life deed.

Yeah but I think it just took some year for ppl to notice.

2013-2014 the algorithm got more foused on non-friend posts aswell as making the prioritzation less about "likes" from friends and instead some opaque engagement metrics. Groups had to "promote" post to get their prior reach to subscribers.

Also videos started to be posted around that time?

Seems like a way to purposly implement Goodhart's Law in a war bureaucracy. Like, the law is a warning but neoliberals might read it differently I guess...

I hate how that very argument has been used by people riding the tide to rationalize the irrationality. Money talks or something. If you don't like it here why don't you leave etc. It is a grifters goto statement.

Computer science is not about computers anympre than liberal art studies is about singing etc ...

I am trying to say that the game is rigged and the profitability of different university studies is a very bad indicator of anything.

I don't know what to say to those "screwed by The Man" to make them feel better.

Oh. Yeah I thought it was slang language use but it seems like it is used for adults too over the board. I mainly wanted to point out that adults were victims also.

the pendulum to prove you right while showering you in wealth.

This seems like some variant of "why don't you short the market and become rich". It doesn't work like that.

Abducted and enslaved? Doesn't kidnapping imply kids?

"Viral content" got nerfed to oblivion in 2013-2014 something when Facebook made companies pay up for group exposure. (Promoted post)

Before that a popular article could be shared among different friends networks to like total exposure to like everyone logged in that were somewhat interested in the article.

I was kinda a journalist then it was a really obvious flip.

do it on someone else’s dime.

Money is just a social construct and the amount of tax dollars spent on classes in progressive tea pot clay handcraft is minuscule.

Non-tech academics were more or lessed forced into getting degrees by the job market.

There were no choice involved on part on the victims of a systematic issue, which is, gatekeeping access to middleclass jobs by the parents' bank account size with usury lending as some sort of pressure release valve.

Isn't GPUs a purpose made ASIC for parallell matrix math allready?
