Authoritarians gonna authoritarian regardless of economic model.

I gotta agree with Samus12345 on this one. This really does look like something conservatives would post unironically kinda like that pride month = demon meme with an ai generated rainbow Satan goat head that makes pride month look so much more badass than they were trying to show.

So the earliest we have of this kind of saying is from Don Quixote where it is about deflecting hypocritical criticism from the 1600s. The shiny kettle/black pot version is more recent one gaining prominence in the late 1800s.

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there’s something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

I understand Crayola is usually the preferred brand amongst marines.

I’d imagine closer to cop unions than worker unions. They’re still a flavor of law enforcement and get a loooot of unilateral power to detain people.

Trump vs Musk damages is a distinction without a difference. It’s like asking if either Hitler vs Himmler were more responsible for the Holocaust. At the end of the day they were the ones in power, they made the decisions, either had the power to stop, and they didn’t.

Its bad journalistic reporting.

Study “we tested if burned food contains carcinogens. We used bread as our test medium and found elevated carcinogens in the burnt bread compared to properly toasted and untoasted bread, leading to a slight increase in exposure to carcinogens and slightly increases the chance of cancer.”

The reporting and editorial: “BURNT BREAD CAUSES CANCER! MORE AFTER OUR SPONSOR FOR DEPRESSION MEDICINE!”

They scraped everything, how many AI apocalypse fanfics do you think exist on AO3 or Fanfiction.net? How many Hollywood movies and scripts featuring the AI apocalypse do you think have been scraped? How many novels and books google has scanned and put into their dataset?

It’s already there, they scraped everything with no forethought or filter.

I don’t think growing up to be OK with threats of horrific violence against children is healthy. Like… at all… like that’s some serial killer shit.

AI is just one more tool in the arsenal of propaganda for them. People in power haven’t even needed computers and advanced technology to get people to commit atrocities, we’ve been doing that for centuries.

Sure, let’s say they are controlled opposition. What do we do after we burn down the democratic party? What then? Because I do not like the prospect of what comes after a single party takes complete control.

There is a lot of talk about burning and destroying but nothing about what comes after and it’s the “What comes after” that has me most worried.

My point is that we need to have an organized political structure to get progressive people elected who will actually promote progressive policies. Saying “Burn Down the Dems” with literally no plan to put up opposition to Republicans is beyond short sighted strategically.

I appreciate the fervor, democratic leadership is a bunch of spinless cowards, but trying to tear down democrats without a competent actually progressive replacement political organization is handing power directly to Republicans to rule completely unopposed.

Given the reality of political parties in the US, I’d rather spinless corpses filling up space to slow Republicans down rather than letting Republicans take total control in the absence of any marginal opposition.

Unless you’re planning on running for office as a competently progressive candidate.

That makes some sense like an early blunderbluss kind of thing?

I don’t think they really had shotguns in the 15th century tho.
