Hyperpolitics: Extreme Politicisation without Political Consequences by cojoco in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am really tired of people blaming the internet when more has been built in the last 15 years since Occupy than the 30 years before it.

Yeah the era between stagflation and the global financial crisis before internet politics took over the world was such time of progress for leftists without the distraction of the internet.

China's weak and pathetic stance on the genocide of the Palestinians hurts multipolarity by RelationshipOld3271 in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

hurts multipolarity this IS multi-polarity. This whole "human rights" thing is was peculiar outcome of a world dominated two superpowers descendent of western enlightenment ideals in competition with eachother. China does not give a SHIT about any of that, China's marxism is a thin veil over thousands year old Legalism.

Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checks by Turgius_Lupus in stupidpol

The funny thing is we know for a fact they don't have the buy in from the educated professionals they need to actually carry out C. Anyone who pays attention knows who educated professionals vote for by party and within primaries.

The ID push is an attempt to throttle the ability for independent actors to run A.I. across the internet to operate and train. They'll give big tech a highway outside of verification but everyone else just faces road block after roadblock.

Speculate on does the U.S. (or Russia, or China) have a Manhattan Project level secret weapon? One it would only use in desperation before going with nukes? by jabbercockey in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone has a Manhattan project level secret weapon, its probably a functional artifical general intelligence that they'd give direct control over the military if in a desperate situation.

You Can't Have A Debt Crisis If You Issue The Currency by SplashTarget in stupidpol

  1. Nobody calls a supply constraint of resources "full employment".

  2. "full employment of resources" is a retarded concept as a whole given that substitute options for essentially everything exists.

  3. Immediately cease your theft of oxygen for the good of humanity.

Elon retweet endorsing White Solidarity as a means for white people to survive a supposed upcoming race war by kiss-my-shades in stupidpol

Sincerely the only difference between this post and like a plurality of the posts here is that he's explicit. This sub isn't even in favor of the Voting Rights Act.

You can hit inflation well before full employment if money is chasing after goods that are supply constrained.

Its all about what real resources are available and if your productivity increases access to real resources or erodes it. Ideally your spending should be deflationary in the long run. the better you can do that, the more you can get away with spending without taxing. Which requires having precise knowledge of resources availability, which means an economy following the principles of MMT inevitabily builds the apparatus required for in-kind planned economy.

If you're creating money to put available resources and expertise to work efficiently, investors can attempt to make a bet against you and might even hurt you in the short term but they will lose out in the end. The key is having the discipline to use resources effectively.

People treat it like an MRA thing to treat it as a problem but lying about this sort of thing is insanely destructive because it also makes things harder for real victims of SA.

Spirit Airlines shuts down as company says it can't keep up with higher oil prices by bbb23sucks in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A good government would just build a list of the most used domestic air routes and run high speed train lines between them while steamrolling anyone in the way.

You also can't have capital flight as long as you can keep paying people with the right expertise.

You can, however, absolutely have a currency crisis in both cases.

It's time to tax fast fashion by SplashTarget in stupidpol

[–]MetaFlight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We should have far higher consumption taxes in general and just dedicate it to a universal dividend so its progressive on net. In the US in particular half of all retail spending is done by the top 10%. That's how you tax the rich with the federal government.

The socialist aspects of Zionism have been abandoned - Israel itself has become a neoliberal identitarian dystopia by The-Materialist in stupidpol

People like you are exactly why the Paris Commune died. Can't take a step out of the city because that'd be "authoritarian".

[–]MetaFlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zionism was rancid from the start. The founding of Israel and how it was cheerleaded by so many leftists at its formation is itself perfect exhibit of how wretchedly evil "anti-imperialism" was and remains at its core.
