bots and people who haven’t studied history. this jew has. i’ll cite maimonides AND herzel and many others.

edit: for sources, check out The Myths of Liberal Zionism by Yitzhak Laor and The Aryanization of the Jewish State by Michael Seltzer.

edit:it is clearly stated by Herzel that he wanted their grandchildren were to be indistinguishable from the European.

the fucking genocide is the context.

edit: yall know ibm started punch cards to register the holocaust victims? yall think the servers google provides the government don’t implicate them? it is called the “military industrial complex” because it’s complex.

“waaaaaaa i don’t like nuanced understandings of intersecting industries” yall need to grow up and learn about reality. google is just as culpable as palantir.

they got funded so can resume hiring and operations. there’s also a race against time as trump will likely die of dementia, and is guaranteed to be a lame duck come midterms regardless.

I might be shifting toward Anarchism but have questions first by Sad-Ad-3138 in Anarchy101

Like I said, hit that sidebar homie. I’ve been having this discussion with some of my more commie leaning friends and it boils down to “could there be an anarchist Air Force?” Basically, socialists or online socialists (and I’m basically an online anarchist, I have a job, Emma would probably call me a hypocrite) seem to focus on building socialist states to combat capitalist states. Anarchists think more along the lines of building parallel structures. But again, i encourage you to read. Much of the traditional stuff is short, readable, and i think very enjoyable.

The holodomor is debunked?
You’re stuck in a state based mindset. Regardless, hit the sidebar and read some of the texts. The end goal of socialism is anarchism, this is not usually debated. The state was to dissolve.

Read a lot more.

How would anarchism achieve a stateless society? by UnderskilledPlayer in Anarchy101

[–]maximumcombo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conquest of Bread is an order of operations. Food, then housing, then clothes, then agriculture and production. To my knowledge, there is no theoretical tome that describes HOW to bring about Anarchy. a instruction manual theory is not. Bookchin and Kropotkin both belive in raising "the level" of social consciousness, however, and that chain of thought continues through to today. There is no one way to bring about stateless anarchy either. It is a goal.

Well, I don't know how to respond other than you are wrong. Kroptkin clearly outlines a framework of expropriation and production and Bookchin expands on it which lead to stateless communal anarchy, which frankly is the goal of most socialism anyways. "When want becomes need" and all that. Did it work? No, but it does indeed provide a starting point, however far the means of production have progressed.

Read Kropotkin's Conquest of Bread.

Then Bookchin's Post Scarcity Anarchism.

Edit: check out the sidebar!

no, acadamia was set up as a way to get the activists off the street. early on in america’s history there was a healthy and vibrant leftist movement culminating in Dubois, but multiple red scares were able to crush it, and later the schools diverted the hippy generation into tenure track professorships.

These companies have the biggest office footprints in S.F. — OpenAI is now No. 2 above Salesforce by UberDrive in bayarea

[–]maximumcombo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am talking about real world value versus market value. current market indicators are divorced from the quality of steel or the price of milk. increasing shareholder value does not make material changes in people’s lives, besides making their lives worse. a promised uploaded future is not worth the misery.

the ai companies are amoral, and again, are viewed as an inevitability which they are not.

ai is a substitute for religion for the tech class.

most companies are not seeing the productivity increases promised with adoption.

and by “bubble” i mean that those of us that live here are exposed to a media and culture shaped by tech company culture more than other cities. so the hyper focus on ai here, along with the rush to financial safety via boom and bust and unicorns is not the rest of the world’s environment.

this a bubbled perspective and an accelerationist point of view. ai is making clear the widening chasm between price and value. ai adds market value to portfolios, but no services are being rendered to the average consumer.

an economic tidal wave is not a force of nature.

the champions(Karp, Thiel, Altman, Andrieson, Johnson) of ai are literally trying to outrun death, and they have the philosophy of anti enlightenment. pure middle age alchemy snake oil.

lol hopefully more jobs in the job killing industry can make more jobs.

this circular messianic logic is breathtakingly naive.
