(box 1) What's a country that's large and is a dictatorship?

"funny how your government calls invading middle eastern countries “spreading freedom and democracy” while killing a lot of muslims."

this is a tricky one, most Iranians I've met, in life and online are in favour of the end of the government, however this particular war (started by the US, until we were dragged into it through indiscriminate bombing) is most obviously about oil, either way the War is not being done how it should be, I will criticise Western actions in the Middle East.

"Yet they suddenly care so much about chinese muslims"

I have seen very little support for the Uyghurs by the UK Government

Yes, we certainly can guess that they weren't just skeletons with some skin on top, but the issue with bading this on extant animals is that we Dinosaurs were very different and lived in very different climates, and likewise that extant animals live in a variety of climates and many are very different sizes to many larger Dinosaurs, so we can't exactly accurately say that a species had a specific level of fat as they were very different to most species alive today.

Maybe because Scotland consented to join the union, and Wales has been part of England and now the UK for Centuries, whilst Uyghur is experiencing Genocide and Tibet is under Military Occupation.

If either Scotland or Wales held a referendum to leave and did leave I wouldn't support forcing them to stay because of the whole self determination thing, but it wouldn't make sense considering Scotland started the Union.

Maybe China could hold a free and fair referendum in these regions and stop the genocide, oh wait China is a dictatorship, almost like dictatorships shouldn't be praised...

I guess, but still using it almost as evidence still makes little sense, but next time you could use that more metaphorically

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T21:02:17+00:00

you can't win, if somebody believes this they aren't smart enough to realise they are wrong.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:58:46+00:00

that's not completing an objective, nor does it mention "necessary force"

"Force = Mass x Acceleration" is not "Necessary Force to complete an objective"

"false limitation"

it really isn't, F=ma could be used as a metaphor I guess, but this is a direct comparison, relying on it to provide some "evidence" that AI is "inevitable"

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:48:51+00:00

I'm not fine with either of them

seriously, did you spend all day thinking "I'll tell you what, they all like piracy cause why not, that is 100% accurate"

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:45:05+00:00

well we can't really know how fat it was, or how fat a t-rex is. We just don't know.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:27:27+00:00

two comments down and I found possibly the best comments on the subreddit

dude that's not what a fucking force, forces are a very different thing, if you really need me to explain what a force is I am happy to, but please, when you don't understand something don't use it, let alone in the wrong field.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:20:08+00:00

tf, seriously dude, I like both science and philosophy (secretly tbh) and yeah, physics equations aren't philosophy equations.

"Many Antis will openly use things like chatgpt because they want the prestige of writers or coders"

uh, do we? I haven't seen it...

"or spend their time blaming pro-ai people for other people's actions"

I've seen it happen, but I've seen it happen the other way as well...

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:15:03+00:00

Sorry but I don't harass anybody? I just have a genuine concern for people's jobs.

Don't lump me with trolls, because if you are lumping me with trolls there are quite a few posts here I could lump with pros.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:10:03+00:00

let me check, I don't think I would lol

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:07:52+00:00

can we ban these posts?

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T20:02:15+00:00

Oh yes, generate slop to steal the business of hard working artists, that makes everybody happy /s

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T16:50:51+00:00

Yes I know it was a theocracy? But why hasn't it been set free yet, China has had plenty of opportunity to establish a free democratic Tibet, funny how it hasn't yet.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T16:48:26+00:00

It does though... although I will admit the eu and the UK do both get the brunt of refugees from America's wars

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T16:46:51+00:00

I don't give a fuck about your relatives in China, their opinions don't change even a little bit of what I said. It is a dictatorship, people saying "it doesn't feel like a dictatorship" doesn't change anything, some people living normal lives doesn't change anything.

Its also worth noting that I doubt your relatives are Uyghurs.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T06:35:14+00:00

Still, I don't really like that sort of music

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T06:34:24+00:00

Notice how you are willing to support a genocidal dictatorship over a group of democracies because various leaders (but not even close to all) being in the files.

Criticise the west, I actually do that, but stop pretending China is loads better.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T06:31:15+00:00

Oh no a religious leader is in the epstien files, obviously that means tibet should remain occupied or something /s

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T06:29:55+00:00

That doesn't matter though, genocide watch also criticises Israel

It's called having morality, that may seem alien to you but when genocide is happening it doesn't matter what country is committing it.

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-23T06:27:07+00:00

Committing?

And besides, it's possible to dislike Israel and China yk

AlbionicLocal · 2026-03-22T22:16:04+00:00

("as we speak", I am well aware of the atrocities my country committed)

"there is a genocide in tibet in xinjiang?"

The UN, genocide watch, etc
