A brown area.

And he thinks the US will control the energy, chips and computing infrastructure in the future? Sure Europe isn’t in a great position at all, but the US’es future leadership isn’t all that obvious.

It’s not mindless rejection. It´s just the argument taken one step further - the system we live in will put the fruits of AI into corporate and therefore capital’s (the bad actors) hands, along with the power and control that come with it. We won’t reap much of the benefits and we’ll suffer the costs. Without a fundamental change to the system we take that as the almost certain outcome. Hence the rejection. I think the rejection would change with a material change in the system.

Run.

ProtonPass is run by a non-profit if you have to move to another hosted solution.

Otherwise there’s multiple self-hostable options, including plain file sync options.

Use this example as learning experience that the type of the firm you’re buying a service from is very important as it changes whose interests it puts first, second and last.

For a moment I thought this is in my neighbourhood. These plazas are all the same throughout North America.

Well he considers Thomas Sowell an insightful thinker so… That said, there’s a strategic ally line between marxists and capitalists around market failures that necessitate gov’t intervention to “improve capitalism” or solve “crony capitalism” or whatever the fuck cope they want to call it. We just don’t have to tell 'em it works as intended and instead ally on concrete results around market failure. We don’t have to smear their faces in our superior understanding of the system. You don’t tell a kid that half the things you teach them at the age of 5 is half-true. :D

If they aren’t signing union cards, they aren’t revolting.

My heart hurts…

No need to waste revolutionary potential. We’ll take the men too and give 'em some mandatory orientation.

Prior to intercourse, make 'em do material analysis of the looksmaxxing phenomena as the logical conclusion of the capital system.

Hol’up

The only standard under capitalism is and always has been profit. All else is temporary aberrations usually reflecting some form of labour shortage (of particular skill or general).

Awesome. You know why I’m happy abt it? The lefty (not lib) ideology is popular and salient. Solidarity feels good. The material conditions literally push people into it. The product is good and I know many if not most who try it get hooked. This shit builds communities. The angry capitalists are the ones that should be scared.

OMG it’s real.

Don’t tell them what happens when angry lefty women get together with angry lefty men. Manosphere gon turn comrade when they learn you don’t have to looksmaxx to form strong relationships (of all kinds) with the angry lefty women.

Haha, just watched it. BTW, I feel like many of these stop signs on small streets should be yield signs to begin with.

Must be bad if they took material action.

This plant was supposed to make EV batteries. Then Trump got re-elected.

That’s mostly a problem in capitalist economies. We already support some 3 times more elderly per person today than we did after WWII. How did that happen without the economy scuttling? Productivity growth. We pooduce way more products and services per head than we did back then. The problem is most of that is collected by the owner classes. If the owner class consuped less resources we’d be able to provide more to our elderly. A non-capitalist economy can allocate production and distribution more based on need and not on return on investment on private capital. Part of that would be using productivity gains from mass automation to fulfill these needs with fewer people. Under the capital system automation gains go into more hyperyachts and private space trips.

This is just looking at the material reality of the problem. I can’t effectively threaten someone who I’m heavily dependent on without present alt. Kinda how Trump got slapped when he tried economic coercion on China. If the EU has a domestic alternative to Big Tech’s cloud services that’s in wide use and easy to scale up, the they can legitimately threaten Big Tech. That said even then that would not be enough given the newly developed dependence on US - LNG. Threaten Big Tech and the US threatens cutting off the gas supply. A gas supply shortage topples governments.

It’s like they’re hellbent on living out the antisemitic stereotypes. It’s getting difficult to fight antisemitism outside of Israel.
