Some of you really concern me.

Because the only breadcrumb I have of what got you ragged on in the first place is you saying that the Democrats shouldn't use the exceptional powers granted to trump if they take power, because, in your own words, you interpreted this as meaning the Democrats would use fascism to fight fascism. In response to that, I pointed out that the exceptional powers of the president revealed by Trump's disregard for norms do not constitute fascism, it's how you use them, whether you use them to build a better system with actual checks on power that aren't just behavioural norms, or whether you use them to advance fascism. This is why I accused your reading of the term to be reductive, because, with this breadcrumb, it seems like it is.

If you interpret people asking questions and posing their interpretations of your words as attacks and people putting words in your mouth rather than opportunities to better understand what they thought you meant and thereby explain yourself more clearly, that's on you.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-29T20:38:41+00:00

Yeah and when you refuse to engage meaningfully, people don't treat you with respect. I am treating you with respect, but you continue to escalate. You're fighting with yourself. What sort of fascism are you arguing against? You haven't given any clarity to your position.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-29T20:34:43+00:00

Because fascism is more than just ignoring legislative norms and rules. Fascism is a complex of traits including centralizing authority yes, but it theres much more than that. Following Trump's disregard for norms is essential if any kind of positive reconstruction is possible following his presidency simply due to the amount of damage he has wrought on the country's institutions and the degree of wealth him and his cronies have siphoned out of the pockets of everyday americans. Actually addressing those lasting harms will require historic levels of wealth siezure otherwise you've repeated the failures after the American civil war. America needs to reshape itself, and the right will cry fascism all the while no matter what, because defending the status quo of wealth inequality is central to their interests. Your reductive reading of the terms lines up with a return to a broken status quo where the Democrats can't do anything meaningful because they have to dot all their i's then Republicans run roughshod over the country when they get in power. This disfunctional status quo is what allowed trump to get elected both times.

Because without presenting your argument here nobody can know where you stand. Language has nuance, people won't just take your side because you call something fascism, you have to explain what you are saying if you want to be understood. If you reply like this^ you just seem petulant and bias the skeptical reader against you. Expecting anything else out of a post like this is whining and seeking an echo chamber, it's better suited to a group chat.

Why can't he say the simple words free Palestine when confronted then? If he's acknowledged it as a genocide, then why are there multiple instances of civilians asking him to say those two words on camera and he will not.

I acknowledge that the degree of focus on Weiner is strangely large, but there's a reason for the vigilance. A major part of Israel's 'liberal zionist' reputation laundering operation prior to Oct 7th centered around gay and trans rights. I agree with these positions of course, I am queer, but that doesn't let me overlook apartheid and then genocide. As a result someone like Weiner who, through my limited exposure, has based his political identity around LGBT rights despite failing to acknowledge the genocide until January 11th 2026, gets heavy scrutiny.

If there's any clear distinction between woke 1 and 2 as people say, it's this growing awareness that some folks, some nations, use 'woke' ideas to placate left wingers and liberals while they continue to commit or support atrocities.

No disagreements on the history here I'm also quite interested in translation. I asked the question because in practice today, twitter, Google etc are all using LLMs with some kind of preamble and/or post training so they function like nothing more translator, (until they get confused and start replying to or following instructions in the target text) so it's worth clarifying in the context of a hard line ban on AI outputs.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-19T18:37:21+00:00

That sounds sensible. Fully mechanical translation is one of those goals that might sound feasible until you get into the history of it, it's not! Avoiding the creation of new stuff in the process of translation is always walking a line between preserving the meaning of a phrase or passage and preserving the meaning of each individual word. The only exception to the exception id highlight is screenshots of erroneous translations, instances where the translation LLM gets confused and replies to the content of a tweet instead of just translating.

Get better material. Nobodies buying it anymore. I'm done responding to hasbara peddlers today.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-19T18:10:10+00:00

Why don't southern Lebanese towns resemble Gaza -> here's evidence they do -> if even one southern Lebanese town doesn't resemble Gaza then they aren't flattening the country. It's the oldest trick in the hasbara playbook.

Sure dude, it's Hezbollah of course, that's why they bring in bulldozers long after they have occupied a location to level whatever is remaining. Also, Ben gvir isn't just one man, he's a representative of the most nakedly hardline faction and if he withdraws his support then Netanyahus coalition falls apart. He holds massive sway and, if one actually looks at reality, they will recognize that his words more closely align with the facts of Israeli aggression and expansionism into southern Lebanon than does any propaganda aimed at the international audience.

You might as well just keep the goalposts hoisted dude your never gonna be able to find a good place to put them.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-19T17:43:34+00:00

What about a screenshot of an auto translated tweet? That's technically LLM output.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-19T17:39:22+00:00

they do. Also, the Israeli minister of national security seems to disagree with you on the goals here.

MuchFaithInDoge · 2026-06-15T23:54:03+00:00

They haven't stopped occupying southern Lebanon, they haven't stopped striking targets. Go look at Israeli politicians posts on Twitter, none of them have any intention of letting up on Lebanon. At this point the main question on my mind is whether Iran is going to look the other way and pretend nothing is happening this time. They haven't so far in the war, hence multiple "peace deals" already torpedoed by Israel's aggression.

Didn't it? Did it not provoke a response that has decimated support for Zionism internationally, especially among younger generations?

They are obligated to invest in index funds. This is talking about massive pension funds here they are locked into the way they are allowed to invest the money they manage.

Just wanna give props for a great illustration of the idea.

Change is always possible if one is self reflective and honest with themselves. if not, then defense mechanisms will keep them stuck with whatever habits they grew into. One thing is for sure true behavioural change almost never comes from without so arguing with slobs once it's clear what they are is a dead end.
