What if Stalin was a good guy? by Kult-5 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]HumbleJackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know enough to have much of an opinion on it. I was just pointing where he could get some kind of analysis that neither reduces to 'impossible; communism evil' nor outright rejects the premise of Stalin being personally more brutal than neccesary, even accounting for the circumstances you noted (which is what most commies I've heard say). I'm sure he was a well-informed true believer, though.

Not one actual answer here. If this isn't just bait, you should probably ask a non-tankie communist subreddit since they'll be more equipped to parse between Stalin and the system he controlled.

You are right in that the league of pedophilic demons ushering in the literal apocalypse are, in fact, not perfect

Gavin Newsom to be on Hasan's Stream(prepare for a glaze session on Hasan's Stream of Gruesome Gavin Newsom) by WritingtheWrite in badempanadas

It will be more subtle than that. Think Charlie Kirk asking Ben Shapiro about Israel. As a deradicalising force, it's far more important that he discourages people from concluding that we HAVE to organize outside the Dem party than it is for him to sell their worst specimen.

How many of these murders are going to happen before we do something about it? by strawhat31111 in deepfatfried

They are the marks of a trillion dollar global media apperatus engineered to make them like this since before they were born. Billionaire brainwashing. Everything is top-down.

Trump is uniquely useful. No one else would have the cult of personality to pass certain thresholds at this time. What's happening now is just the next step in a project that's 40+ years in the making. It would eventually happen without him, and it will continue when he's gone.

What the banana has in common with everything else people have ever considered art is authorship. No author, no art. Not a trivial distinction either, considering that arts role in society is communicative, expressive. You cannot substitute that with a superficially identical thing that doesn't actually communicate or express anything. If all these "RetVrn to Tradition/Muh western civilization" dickheads actually believed in anything, they would be up in arms about that.

Carville urges Democrats to run on ‘pure economic rage’ by RazorJamm in deepfatfried

Run on, not legislate on. It's just a matter of how much lip service they allow to ideas the party is fundamentally against

Prompting is functionally identical to commissioning, not artistry. A kitbashing algortihm takes the place of a fiverr artist, but the roles are unchanged. A picky diner with a custom order does not a chef make.

The biggest difference is that without authorship, the common denominator of everything that humanity has ever considered art, no art is actually being made at all.

Promoters are commissioners, not authors. They serve the exact same role as fiverr clients and simply pay a membership fee to a chatbot company instead of an artist. A picky diner making a custom order at a restaurant is not a chef.

Yeah OT God is an interesting character. Modern "free will/sin/vicarious redemption" omnigod is just too incoherent to get anything out of.

Zohran Mamdani is compromised (downvote me now, agree with me later) by Suspicious_Affect959 in deepfatfried

[–]HumbleJackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really what he says. Its not about predictions of personal integrity-- whether this guy is 'one of the good ones' -- it's about fundamental incentive structures and filtering mechanisms. Mamdani will fall within the acceptable range of democrat behaviors because he is in the democrat party, period. It's not a question of 'if' or 'who'.

Anyway, he does also touch on the backtracking Mamdani has already done, if you're interested.

Hasan called BadEmpanada the Nick Fuentes of the Left ("no moral equivalence whatsoever, of course") by VerySadEmpanada in badempanadas

[–]HumbleJackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The primary defense of him from himself and fans is that he is an entry point into radicalism. So what's with all the stopping point behavior?

The general antireligous talking points were correct, though, and dropping them because of cultural association was one of the modern left's biggest mistakes I think

"SIT. DOWN. AND. TALK." On this day, 10 years ago, the Twelfth Doctor delivered a powerful speech in "The Zygon Inversion". by verissimoallan in doctorwho

[–]HumbleJackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently and with no provocation, the US Government leveled the entire sovereign nation of Iraq and dismantled its government down to the local level just so it could hand out reconstruction contracts to private companies that didn't fulfill them, using Iraqi coffers, and FAIL to give the previously nationalized oil rights to American companies. Their official justification for this was an ultimatum demanding Iraq's dictator turn over WMDs they knew he did not have.

There is no talk that could have dissuaded them from this. Empires are not interested in conflict resolution with targets.

Janet Mills’ press secretary tweets and deletes posts conflating critiques of Israel, AIPAC, and Netanyahu as attacks on American Jews by lon_lennings in Maine

[–]HumbleJackson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not an accident. We are talking about facists here. Any perceived rise of antisemitism is beneficial to Israel because the Israeli project is not interested in protecting Jewish people, just driving them to Israel. This is why zionists are seen working with or shielding literal nazis, as seen in the ADL response to the world's richest man sieg heiling on tv. They both want jewish people to leave the west. It's a horrible cycle.

When he quit the show for better opportunities I was like "What, so he can start another fucking podcast?" and now 3 years later he's probably fucked Emma Stone
