I never learned how to fear the flames

  • Don't threaten me with a good time

  • I totally agree, my main contention about them is they are actually an even more marginal area of the western left than those they criticize (who also are obsessed with Heideggerian philosophers because of the US intellectual apparatus deciding what they read lol), they encourage all of their most chauvinistic assumptions about third world nationalism with their disgusting minstrelsy

  • I'm afraid you may need to have read a book at some point in your life to grasp some of the words used here

  • the only good instance on the fediverse tbqh

  • Lol the religious fascination with LLMs is too funny. If you're going to worship something, how about the computational engineering models that are simulating the laws of physics themselves? LLMs only hallucinate new blueprints based on old ones and lack true understanding of constraints.

    Here is a rocket engine built by one: https://xcancel.com/somi_ai/status/2005081293365576047?s=20

    Look up Leap71's website they make these regularly it's not a fake video

  • Wage struggle & rent stabilization just result in workers advocating for increased theft of labor hours from the global south/periphery/third world/low-income countries (call it whatever you want someone will get mad) in order to access the asset market via housing & retirements. This deal is closing out but people are more shortsighted than ever. Initially there was a miscalculation where capital flows between imperialist states were mistaken for outflows to periphery, but this was due to crude statistics + he don't have internet (no one did). Capital flows stop after the port, mine, & one shit railway, potentially sweatshop until the period where the financialization by industrialists in the west leads to Mexicanification so some light and increasingly heavier non-strategic industries in semi-peripheral states. Historically tho, India, China, & West Asia are where Shit Happened and everyone lived. Their development needn't be underpinned by theft of labor hours from... themselves. China's leg up has been mutualistic trade policies, infrastructure, protecting skilled labor capacity from sudden layoffs, strong education, balancing competition, channeling foreign investment into state-managed industries, list goes on. To understand why communism failed in the USSR I recommend Russia and the Long Transition from Capitalism to Socialism

  • This is propaganda and rhey are turning the sealions to burger pastes

  • For the same reason we airbrush hamburgers in advertisements

  • I guess you'll never know if that is addressed in this book or the discussion at its release events, since like most of its critics, you can't even claim to have read it. Fucking babies 🤣

  • Don't look up statistics on people getting raped in your shithole country's homeless concentration camps

  • we can call it whatever y'xll want but the Eurasian Peninsula is going into the pot in due time

  • god have mercy on the chinese facing the combined industrial might of canada and europe 😧

  • unc still got it

  • @confidant6198 you may be looking for the term intellectual labor aristocracy

  • hey i'll give it a watch, nice to see someone else actually offering spontaneous media recommendations on here ;)

    that is my scene. very much so. I don't really react that way to gore or jumpscare torture movies / guy dying in the wilderness of preventable injuries /etc lol, that's why I was shocked. and, I mean, there was a lot of gore being shoved in my face in middle school, so I went years before the ukraine war without allowing myself to see anyone die. outside of police videos, and other things where we have a duty akin to a jury to review the footage as evidence. collateral murder. stuff like that. if you're just watching someone get killed for entertainment, in my opinion you become a minor accomplice. I am un-desensitized to the extreme, but seeing a guy get decapitated didn't make me feel decapitated. i didn't retch seeing azovites boil a guy's head.

    it's the atmosphere which made me present enough to go hurl. it's the clarity with which it reveals the unseen facets of bourgeois domination we can intuit are there. maybe if I was more imaginative, or more sick, I could summon what the movie does in my mind's eye. i'm just the type to look away, and the movie doesn't allow that.
