wonder how much of it is just “shit is clearly bad… Let’s please just try something different and see if it helps.”

It’s kinda both from how I see things. When Bernie wasn’t given a chance by the DNC in the primaries in 2016, the Bernie supporters flocked to vote Trump. The Sanders to Trump pipeline is real. Slavoj Zizek made a great point that people want someone outside of the neoliberal status quo, and Americans got that, but with Trump. Americans are kind of at the crossroads of what they really want.

.ml users tend to be Marxist-Leninists (hence .ml), so when they complain that someone is not “left enough”, it’s a code to mean is that the person is not a Marxist-Leninist/communist who wants to instigate an armed revolution, overthrow the system, and then seize the means of production. The thing is, many Americans could distinguish the difference between communists and socialists. Even the Fox news survey showed most young people support socialism, while only few support communism. I imagine ML clutched their pearls as hard as the conservatives upon learning of the survey.

Musk has kompromats on board of directors and shareholders.

I wasn’t aware about this with regards to mobile phone tbf. I know you are spied upon on your phone camera, but mapping the house with the phone? Do you mean like Dark Knight stuff?

It took me awhile to understand the punchline (god is saying the speed of light is 1 dumbass, not calling the person a dumbass as I first thought). Does that mean the speed of light is slow?

I’m more worried that coffee prices are spiking because of climate change. The warming weather conditions is making the growing of coffee beans more difficult.

Languages have their own quirks and characters, representative of the people’s cultural values and history, and express ideas not even present in other cultures. As many languages have to be preserved as possible for these reasons.

“Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down,”

This kind of overt and vain corruption will not go down well in other countries. This alone should cause mass riots and demonstrations. I guess Americans are still getting used to dealing with autocracies.

This is why you should not work too hard, but just at the right amount. Employers might deem you are too valuable to be promoted. And exceeding way beyond expectations and performance might also raise the standards impossibly high for most other workers, and that will cause resentment.

If there is an authoritarian country I could tolerate, it would be Singapore. I can live without chewing gum.

If Meta actually gave a shit, they would make an actually secure app instead of putting on a play in the courts.

Yeah, you don’t hear this kind of thing about Signal.

ISS said that while the board’s goal was to retain Musk because of his “track record and vision”

Wanna bet that Musk has kompromat on every single member of board of investors? How and why else would he want data from the government aside from training AI, and also still not being fired?

Some of these people may well also have voted for Trump and regret it.

Do anything but dress in a frog costume.

That’s only to discredit the accusation that Portland is a lawless city when ICE and national guards were sent. If they are sent to No Kings protest because of claim that protestors are violent, then why not dress up as Kermit?

It’s funny that Trump acknowledges China thinks in decades, but hey, money speaks.

Give me all your AI training data!

Liberalism in the old school sense of valuing economic liberty, which to an extreme extent valuing private property and money. And here we see NBC caving in to compromising progressive social values to money.

Fascists are anti intellectual after all.

Well, this is what the second amendment is for.

I said federalism hampers attempt at tyrannical consolidation of power, not stop it completely.
