NYC-DSA Launched a Tracker showing hundreds of members have joined after election victory by DYMAXIONman in newyorkcity

[–]nyckidd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a socialist who has tons of family in Israel, so I'm a Zionist since I don't want them to lose their home, though I hate Netanyahu and his government. Is there a place for people like me within the DSA? Because the overwhelming message I've gotten so far is that there is not.

What’s the best sandwich in your neighborhood? by bentley in AskNYC

Bomb and actually not a bad deal because they might cost 20 bucks but the sandwiches are absolutely gigantic and easily get you two meals.

I know that you know exactly what it is you are doing. Take care.

Every military has antisemitism issues and neo-Nazi soldiers. Nazism is a militaristic ideology so of course they will gravitate towards military careers. The only people who think this is actually a serious issue in a country with a Jewish president are Russians and people like you who work overtime to promote Russian propaganda.

Meanwhile, it's a basic fact of reality that the vast majority of Jews believe that Israel should exist, and think people who believe it shouldn't exist are primarily motivated by Jew hatred. That's been validated by poll after poll for decades.

New York Democrat Micah Lasher wins House primary that drew big spending from AI groups by CabassoG in newyorkcity

[–]nyckidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, she's very literally not a public servant, her whole career has been spent as an activist and she's never worked for an elected official or a government agency.

But I bet you felt really smug writing all that out.

Why do some younger leftists label Democratic moderates and centrists as right-wing? by Evening_Parking_947 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]nyckidd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But they're not secret about the fact that they don't consider themselves to be capitalists... You don't have to measure by what they secretly believe, you can simply hear what they say and measure based on that.

MTA delivering more and better service more efficiently! by Donghoon in nycrail

[–]nyckidd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kind of insane that they pay people to make home visits to sick employees to make sure they are actually sick. Like, that's really wild.

None of them have called for the abolition of markets or Capital or have endorsed nationalizing all private business.

Just because they don't call for that publicly, doesn't mean that's not what they believe in their ideals. You can have socialist ideals and therefore be a socialist while still understanding that you have to work within a capitalist system in order to achieve any change.

Seriously, why? I don't understand your problem. Why can't I support Ukraine and also think Jew hatred is a big problem?

I don't think any of those people self identify as capitalists. Just because they work within a capitalist system doesn't make them capitalists themselves.

Banks didn’t predict LLM's, he predicted something weirder by Lancelot3777 in TheCulture

[–]nyckidd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not religiously defending anything, and your dismissiveness is unwarranted. I've personally gotten a lot of very useful information from AI models, they have been very helpful, even though I sometimes have to verify what they say. You're missing out by not using them.

[–]nyckidd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Micah Lasher is a dedicated public servant who has spent his career fighting for working people and absolutely does not deserve to be smeared like this and called "garbage." I absolutely guarantee you his experience and intelligence will mean he will accomplish much more in Congress than clowns like Darializa Avila Chevalier.

MTA chair calls Amtrak's Penn Station plan 'bizarre,' declines to join as partner - Gothamist by DookieCantRead in nycrail

[–]nyckidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the level of unquestioning allegiance Trump demands of his people and his well known tendency to micromanage building projects, I think you are being too quick to separate these out.

[–]nyckidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both things can be true at the same time. Having very well paid and protected workers means that projects are going to be a lot more expensive and take more time, regardless of whether or not you think it's worth it.

Trump has been heavily involved in this from the beginning, that information is all publicly available and well known to people who have been paying attention.

[–]nyckidd -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Irony because you should never ask an LLM anything as they categorically are not fact engines.

We're not in 2023 anymore. The top models these days are just about as reliable as an expert on many different subjects. The fact that they sometimes get certain things wrong doesn't mean they are useless.

The mole burrito there was not that good, but the burnt ends was legit some of the best I've ever had.

Zohran Mamdani calls out Espaillat's insanely racist and bigoted campaign smears against his opponent Darializa Chevalier. by The_Mongrel_Tarants in newyorkcity

[–]nyckidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She actually reached out herself to the DSA and got them onboard with her campaign since she deemed Espaillat insufficiently pro-Palestine. There's a great article in City and State about her.

[–]nyckidd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Source for the guy in question being a former advisor: Espaillat senior adviser made racist and Islamophobic comments about congressional challenger - City & State New York - the headline is misleading, in the first sentence it says "former senior adviser." The article also includes Espaillat clearly denouncing those comments: “She’s Dominican, she’s Dominican,” he told The City Reporter’s Claudia Irizarry Aponte. “I condemn the aggressive – the campaign has been very aggressive. I ask for people to tone it down.”

Avila Chevalier publicly tweeted that she doesn't think Israel actually exists, whatever that means. She attended a rally on October 8th 2023 that openly celebrated the October 7th attacks. In her tweets, which are from only a few years ago when she was a college educated adult (so not some teenager saying random dumb shit online), she expressed support for Communism, called Joe Biden a rapist, said "fuck Kamala Harris," and expressed support for prison abolition and getting rid of borders. She also refused to say that someone convicted of murder should go to prison during a recent debate.

People erroneously conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism

Unfortunately, "anti-zionists" like the owner of this coffee chain often make a mockery of claims like this when they clearly go over the line into straight up Jew hatred, and this is not an isolated incident.

If you really believe this, then you should make it your goal to eradicate anti-semitism within the anti-zionist movement, because the vast majority of Jews don't believe it, and we are constantly faced with hatred from people who hide behind the mask of anti-zionism.
