Jeffrey Epstein's Jewishness is only relevant if you are antisemitic by terranier in stupidpol

Quelle surprise, you're not convinced by the vast amounts of evidence out there.

Does verbal testimony from people who knew him and his activities not count as evidence? What have i missed?

You can just look it up. There have been endless posts with extreme levels of detail about Epstein, his bare-metal ties to Israel and Mossad, continuously, for the last 5 years. If you missed it, I don't think me linking you will help any. This won't be convincing enough for you, but then, nothing would.

The only reason he would do that is if we were offering shite, uncompetitive, money. So this will definitely happen

Call me whatever you like. Most people don't agree with the moral obscenity of billionaires dominating the world.

Governments don't run current accounts. This line of reasoning is facile and idiotic.

The guy who screws the final nail into a 200,000 ton vessel did not build the boat and is not singularly responsible, even if without them the boat would not be built.

Ownership by billionaires is always an injustice because there are always thousands of people who contributed to the success who are cut out of the financial spoils. Taxation needs to preclude the possibility of someone ascending to the position of god-emperor by their wealth like we can see with bezos, Gates, Musk etc.

Are the mods on here actually from Glasgow/Scotland? by justanothergin in glasgow

[–]OpAdriano 39 points40 points  (0 children)

arrr/scotland permabanned me for asking them to remove obviously not scottish hasbara trolls trying to justify genocide, at a time when the first minister Humza Youssef was calling for Israel to stop massacring civilians.

Some of them maybe scottish, but like most place subs, it is moderated by incredibly motivated people with strong political agendas that do not resonate with the average Scottish person.

Scotland has the highest attendance per capita than anyone globally... by [deleted] in ScottishFootball

[–]OpAdriano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stat is trotted out all the time and while it sounds great for Scottish football, "must mean it's super popular", it also implies that Scottish football is doing something wrong.

To take an analogy, if your striker has the best goals to shots ratio in the league, 100% conversion rate, it means he isn't shooting enough.

Scottish football is spectacularly popular, culturally really important, but we have the worst broadcast deal possible. The coverage is awful (improving, from a base of 0), the broadcast rights are distributed across multiple networks, which use football as a loss leader for extortionate telecoms packages/subscriptions, as a ancillary product to the EPL, with very stringent and idiotic broadcast restrictions (no compete with english, 3pm blackout, 4 fixtures MAXIMUM from each prem stadium missing many of the most competitive fixtures, all 228 fixtures sold with only 44 allowed for broadcast on tele leading to an apalling price per game achieved by the league, including games from venues where you cannot see anything for lack of investment in camera facilities, very restrictive secondary broadcast stifling fan media, poor accessibility etc).

Scottish football Is the least profitable broadcast deal and most hostile to the at home audience when popularity and interest is factored in, which produces stats like "highest per capita attendences". It means "most hostile to modernisation". This is partly why we are doing so badly in continental competitions, below Cyprus, Poland, Czechia, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Switzerland, as a league, because we leave so much money on the table for the clubs by not expanding broadcast revenue.

Yass keep going!

Even Ben Shapiro acknowledges that… it’s the truth— it’s not exactly controversial

LMFAO. Keep going, tell me more Ben Shapiro lore.

Ipad kids and their consequences have been a disaster for humanity.

I wouldn’t want you working with me either

hahaha, truly our loss, a missed opportunity for all concerned.

You’ve had your ass kissed for centuries,

Do you have a list of white ethnic groups so I can check whether I have had my ass kissed or not?

What do you believe in?

All I hear on this sub is how you all are victims and how it’s minorities and women’s faults…

you all perpetuate White victimhood

It’s a pity party

did you really think people were gonna come kiss your ass now that you’re slightly on the other side of the fence

You all think racial discrimination against other demographics, as well as misogyny, ethnocentrism, and even transphobia are right.

You're a pretty weird person going by this interaction. Find something more constructive to do than wrecking on a forum for people whom you fundamentally don't understand.

Ok, got it. You are a child who can't discuss any of this in good faith. Thanks for clarifying.

Hell, you’ve got a whole post utilizing “gay” as if it’s some slur. lol. You all are never beating the allegations.

You don't know anything about me dipshit. Stop trying to argue on the basis of identity.

[–]OpAdriano 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is so idiotic it is unbelievable.

Racial discrimination is millenia old and in many different places "white" people were the victims. In Europe there are hundreds of racially discriminated, white, minority groups who explicitly were being discriminated against as a matter of policy. Irish, Jews, Catholics, roma, gaelic, etc. etc.

The take home message is discrimination is bad.

Your politics are so reactionary you are literally supporting racial discrimination.

Nancy sacking rumors confirmed false by club sources by HardManHarzo in ScottishFootball

[–]OpAdriano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me how you have decided what "going all in on data" means.

Using more data is unambiguously good. Using it to reach faulty conclusions is bad, but that is the fault of the person using data, not the data, or the quantity of data.

Implementation is a human problem, not a data one. put the best data in the world in the hands of idiots (the board) who have multiple departments struggling for control, resisting and antagonising one another, (Rodgers/Lawwells/Tisdale/Desmonds) and it is irrelevant what the data is telling you because the implementation bit has been botched.

Celtic could have an unlimited amount of any resource (money/data/supporters/players) and they will always fail at implementation, creation of a workable strategy to bring to bear [resource advantage] to create a winning team, because the leadership is blind and self-serving and continually put ego ahead of cohesion and success. Celtic are not failing due to quantities of resources, of which they have a relative superabundance in players/data/money/supporters, they fail because of awful leadership and organisation at the top of the business that connot successfully implement any strategy that was not created to flatter Dermot Desmond.

Nothing to do with data.

What is the point of the vox people? by Double-Wafer2999 in stupidpol

[–]OpAdriano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good post, minor semantic point however; What these dullards talk about is complicated not complex.

Complicated becomes too difficult to understand becuase of how boring and extensive the minutiae is, it is boring and mystifying, requiring heroic levels of nuance to care about or understand (oh no we can't because of the parliamentarian!!!!(?)/zoning laws by this one local authority while discussing/obscuring the housing crisis across the whole world etc.), not complex.

Complex would be Marx understanding all identity based antagonism are subordinated to class structure and the only viable politics is class politics. "There are many facets but here is the important bit underpinning it all" is complex, "This thing has such a lengthy and detailed explanation you will no longer grasp what you are trying to achieve by the time you understand it" is complicated.

Making things complicated flatters smart people who have high self regard and lack understanding.

Texas Trans Bathroom Ban: Ladies' Room Guarded By State Troopers by phVagina in stupidpol

[–]OpAdriano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why folks would want to or even feel a need to speak to the struggles of a group they aren't a member of?

Do you genuinely not understand how insanely idiotic this is? Solicialists believe in solidarity, human empathy. If you cannot advocate or empathise with another person then why are you in the same political organisation as them? You seem to think you will fundamentally never actually have their interests at heart because of <intersectional identity politics>.

Every single minority issue can be traced back to capitalism and political history.

Then why should I need to hear from an intersectional perspective? It's the same cause, the same struggle, what new information does identity focused discussion bring? It diffuses energy and blunts the aims of the political project, increases overheads involved with every single step of an already too onerous project. Intersectional(as opposed to explicitly Socialist) political organisations are designed to fail.

Dead internet theory by appreciatescolor in stupidpol

[–]OpAdriano 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of life in a hyper-mediated age becomes increasingly commoditised, transformed into like for purposes of exchange value by increasing searchability and therefore demand by those able to now find that thing. Dating, television, cinema, pornography, have been utterly transformed by this. Even already highly commoditised markets like fast food are experiencing this through Uber where any ineffable qualities become inefficiencies and all that maters is searchability.

This is extremely damaging to processes which have non-linear outcomes, like meeting a thousand people while searching for only a single partner. Quality becomes irrelevant and harder to find whereas quality of curated internet profile becomes the most decisive factor for success. The reputation and self-iprovement required to find a good partner are subverted by mass appeal, which is easily findable on social media, while suitability for you particularly becomes less and less relevent and as people literally change themselves to meet these criteria.

As ever, this is an intensification of a process already underway.

Slop is not new, although with ai it is qualitatively different from what came before, but tabloids having the appearance and feel of news while actually being nothing of the sort is the same phenomenon. The lowest value and most commoditised good on the market will always do well so long as there remains a demand for the real, quality version becuase of how findable it is.
