Read a history book mate. I’m using history to understand the present. Hell, Wikipedia can help you. This isn’t about shitting on individual people in this country that call themselves “liberals”. This is about understanding how liberal democracy enables the rise of fascism and why it is insufficient in stopping it.

Yes. But you don’t even have to buy the Mexican food. There are infinitely many scenarios they can come up with for liberals to keep justifying the line moving.

These types of “reasons” are not the fascist “finding loopholes”. It’s just a means of keeping the illusion of the systems still operating. If the system is still operating then “we can take it back”. It’s for liberals to believe that if they were tarkets that they could “justice” their way out. That maybe they’ll even be protected by their white privilege.

Fascist don’t let you take it back using the system. When the midterms don’t go well. We’ll have liberals continue to fight to “fix the system”. We’ll get “justice for the voters” and lawsuits that go nowhere. We’ll get a couple well intentioned politicians that speak out against the fascist. Allowed to speak only so long as they are needed to maintain the illusion of a fight. Spending the next two years moving the line with each step so we can pretend the system is still saveable.

Buy your Mexican food. If you’re a target it won’t matter what reason they use to justify taking you. Better than getting your lunch at a corporation that supports this.

The more I watch them build datacenters and speed run climate change the more I believe this is the “solution” to climate change by the capitalist class.

Clearly we can’t change production and economic structures. So, to maintain the systems the only rational solution is a global genocide. /s

This may even be what happens. But, the absolute stupidity is that these oligarchs think they themselves will survive it to decide to the future. This ends in Socialism or Barbarism. And in both of those, their heads don’t remain attached.

The only thing it’s really good at is generating bull shit with a very confident tone. So, ironically, the best candidate for its use to replace an entire industry of “jobs” is for replacing CEOs.

But, I say we just get rid of AI and CEOs.

Literal human interactions that are well documented through a peer review processes that has been standard for decades in the industry?

Like, this process doesn’t have to be perfect. But the bar is really low when we’re discussing “trust me bro” and seeing AI commits going in.

All good. Sometimes the context (or lack there of) in which people mention things makes me confuse the intent.

It’s definitely a unique method of failure. But, Trump’s failures are mostly due to doing the same US policies that past presidents did but without (1) properly manufacturing consent for war (like Iraq for example) and (2) not actually living in the past where the US was the sole economic superpower.

And, even with this, he is still able to murder innocent fisherman on the coast of Venezuela and kidnap their leader.

Is your point to say this is good for the US? Good for Oil companies in the US maybe. On the short term. But oil is a global commodity. The oil goes to whoever is willing to pay. Unless you think Trump is going to nationalize the oil industry. Americans are just as fucked as anyone else. Doesn’t matter where the oil comes out of the ground. It matters who is selling it and who is buying.

That’s not what happens in a crash. I’m not sure what history books you are reading.

Millions lose their jobs. Millions can’t afford housing. Supply chains shut down. Food isn’t delivered to grocery stores. Hundreds of thousands of people die.

The rich consolidate more power and control as the losses are taken by the working class. The profits are private, the negatives of the crash are socialized.

I don’t know where the idea that the stock market crash doesn’t effect people that “don’t own stock” came from. You don’t get to benefit from its rise. But you sure as hell will be treated as meat for the capitalist machine when it’s contradictions hit their breaking point.

Don’t wait for it. Prepare for it.

Here. Hollywood explaining it if that didn’t get through to you.

You’re the people dying. The rich are the guys in the clip.

Yeah. We just need to remove Trump and then attack the countries that the Democrats war monger over instead. /s

Trump isn’t colluding with China. What you are seeing is US presidents being brought to heel by the superiority of the Chinese economy on a global stage. He has no good cards to play and China is able to damage the US influence through it’s trade powers alone. America has lost its own game of neoliberalism and “free trade” to a country run by a communist party.

This has been the result of decades of neoliberal policy starting with Carter and exploding with Reagan. This isn’t unique to Trump. This is the new normal and Americans are not use to a world in which America can’t force it’s will on other countries for the benefits of its wealthy oligarchs. So it’s more comforting to place all blame on a single incompetent and corrupt president like Trump.

You’re confusing this with “collusion” with China because Trump directly takes bribes from other nations. China doesn’t have to do that. They are the country that gets to flex on the US right now; as the US empire is crumbling and lashing out at Iran, Cuba, and countless other countries (including Allies).

We got Trump because of the road we were following. We didn’t follow this road because we got Trump.

Whether the maintainer reviews the output of LLMs rigorously like any random pull request or not, is not verifiable, thus it should be assumed they did not.

FTFY.

It serves the interest of capital. The biggest difference between the fascist interest of the past and the present is that capital has globalized to such a degree that there is essentially no loyalty to a nation as you would see in to some degree in the past. If it existed at all really - many American capitalist were aligned with the Nazis more than their own country. Henry Ford being a household name as an example.

Now, this doesn’t mean fascist don’t still use nationalism as a tool. But, the capitalist interest that the fascist protect are the priority and have been disconnected from the imperial core so much that their is no material benefit that they need to offer. The imperial core essentially serves as a speculative financial market and nothing more. Their only value has been reduced to upholding the societal structures that allow that to continue.

They just don’t care about pretending anymore. American foreign policy has always been that of imperialism and colonialism. It only makes sense that those interests have empowered and moved to its most valuable proxy state in Israel. To such a degree that any foreign policy action is now centered around its own attack dogs interests.

The people that say “Israel is controlling American foreign policy” or the people that attempt to explain that “Israel is just the attack dog for American interest” are both right and wrong to a degree.

The conversation based on national interest is just not sufficient to really explain it. It is definitely still important to understanding the past and how we got here. It is important in understanding how national identities still impact media narratives today.

But, the idea of “Israel controls America” is about as useful as “the Jews control America”. The identity of states in our current world is as unhelpful as Liberals of the past aligning with fascist to use Jews, Communist, or any other scapegoat to point to as the problem.

It’s why we are seeing a preparation in the right wing and left of American politics to pivot away from Israel in a post Trump era.

It is only my hope that the socdem politics of Mamdani on the left win out against the upcoming Tucker Carlson anti Israel politics of the right.

America will use Israel as it’s scapegoat for its own Imperialist crimes. This is certain. However, the right will only move into rascism, Imperialism, and fascism further. The leftward movement is the only chance we have to actually hold the true criminals and capitalist oligarchs accountable one day. But, for now, it’s a left that benefits from Americans believing their national identity is still “separate” from the crimes of its military and Israel. We just do not have the level of class consciousness for Americans to understand this yet. The left will not benefit from explaining what I’m explaining now. The masses are not there yet. So a message of “Israel is the problem” is a better explanation at this point. It allows us to combat the anti Israel shift on the right by agreeing with it and offering a better solution.

The masses aren’t prepared for class based explanations. All they will hear at this point would be “Israel isn’t the only problem” while the right falls for simple “what is going on” Tucker Carlson like explanations that allow Americans to feel better that “it’s just Israel”.

I just hope we can build class consciousness before it’s too late. Because fascism doesn’t end with Trump if we get another 4 years of of neoliberalism that follows. The left needs to show it can deliver real material improvement to the working class of America. And right now. That’s only done by agreeing with the post Trump right that “Israel is the problem” and not getting stuck in trying to get people to understand the class based explanation like this comment gives.

Americans won’t be swayed by the moral arguments of the left. They won’t even be swayed by explaining that the billionaires are their enemies. They will only build class consciousness when they see the material benefits to their lives of leftist politics. And their whole lives they have been conditioned into believing that that is something as neoliberal and capitalist as “Obamacare”.

At any point in their lives so far.

There are also countless Nazis that were not wearing the uniform. If FDR had not been president we had enough people in power in America that were supporting and would have preferred to support the Nazis.

Henry Ford being the most obvious first name that comes to mind. But, literally, there is a reason all the wealthy today are siding with Israel and American fascist. The Nazis never went away.

The “Hitler escaped” shit is just Nazi propaganda to try to reduce how fucking wrecked they got by the red army. That piece of human garbage was too afraid to face consequences. He blew his brains out. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Fair enough. Glad you understand the frustration. Thanks for dealing with my rant. But I figured a better explanation was in order than just “it’s a dumb rule”.

I replied to your other comment. I don’t want that. I think I explained what I meant in my response there. So I’ll end the thread here. Sorry for the double reply initially.

The same could be said for the title of the original article. “The original article title is available in the link”.

The rule is favoring the opinion and bias of the original article and enforcing it on the window in which all people using the sub are deciding which comments or articles to even engage with.

That’s the point of the title in the sub. It’s not “equal” because it can be posted in a comment. We aren’t all reading the sub one link at a time and one comment at a time. We are using titles to decide what to engage with.

So one of these needs to be favored over the other unless we allow user titles to be posted along with article title (which I personally think is a bad solution).

So we are stuck favoring one over the other for the sub title. The opinions and bias of the users of this sub (regulated by the mod team to some degree) or the opinions and bias of the institutions (unregulated by the mod team in anyway. Just flat enforcement).

That’s the point. It’s not users opinions not being available. It’s about the opinions and bias in titles being enforced as the titles in the sub itself.

The rule enforces the opinions of and bias of third party institutions through all titles in this sub over the opinions and bias of the actual users of the sub. The rule doesn’t even allow for mods to use any form of judgement. Which is why you’re stuck here getting downvoted because you’re doing your job and enforcing the rule.

I’m arguing against this form of hard enforcement because I don’t want the mods being put in a position in which they are forced to defend the passive language titles used to normalize a law protecting pedophiles. I know you’re not trying to do that. But, the rule unfortunately, in this situation, is putting you in that position.

So, in my opinion, the rule needs some flexibility at the discretion of the mods. Enforce article titles to a degree. But you mods gotta have some discussion among one another on the flexibility of allowing user titles sometimes. Because it puts you in this awful position of enforcing a title that is passively normalizing pedophiles and being a robot that responds with “those are the rules”.

Hope you understand what I’m saying. This isn’t a criticism of you or any mod personally.

The subtitle of the article says “some argue child marriage bans would increase abortion”

The person who wrote the article can die too (figuratively I mean. Like their career dying).

When the subtitle of your article just states the opinions of pedophiles you’re a piece of shit too. They are saying the opinions like they have some form of merit enough to stand alone as the subtitle. Maybe the opinions of the victims of child rapist should be your subtitle? Something like: They are “concerned” about maintaining the law that a child, that was raped, is treated as a murderer unless they marry their rapist. That’s what that subtitle SHOULD be.

I’m so tired of “stating passive opinions” not being treated for the fundamental bias they already have baked in.

It’s awful journalism and the author is just allowing the language of pedophiles to be normalized.

So, yeah. I know you were probably just joking with your comment. But I saw it as an opportunity to vent my frustration. Especially, with the mods trying to enforce the awful passive language title this article has in the first place.
