God, these fucking idiots in the comment section of that post.

“How does it feel to collapse society?”

“I wonder if programmers were asked that in the early days of the computer.”

or

“How does it feel to work on AI-powered machine gun drones?”

“I wonder if gunsmiths were asked similar things in the early days of the lever-rifle.”

Yeah, because a computer certainly is the same thing as a water-guzzling LLM that rips other peoples work and art while regurgitating it with massive hallucinations. A lot of these people don’t and likely never will understand that a lot of technology is created to serve the will of capital’s effect on structuring society and if not in the will of that but rather directly affected by the mode of production we exist in. Completely misses the point and wonders why each development is consistent with more lay-offs, more extraction, more profit.

“The current generation of students are crippling their futures by using the ChatGPT Gemini Slopbots to do their work” (Paraphrasing that one)

At least this one has a mostly reasonable reply. Educational systems obviously exist outside of technological impacts on society. It’s the kids. /s

JMG I have no idea about. His political leanings don’t shine through at all in that all of his takes seem completely materialist. I don’t think he’s a Marxist, but I doubt he’s a reactionary in any way. Perhaps apathetic/apolitical.

Yeah that’s the kind of vibe I got from Isaac, right-wing libertarian albeit a more rational one than 99% of them. He seems like the type that would be open to dialogue about those things and perhaps changing his mind if you had a conversation with him.

I might be looking to deeply into it after all, but anyone using the term “thugs” always gets a little bit of a raising eyebrow from me, I dunno. Where did you hear the Trump supporter thing? Curious if I could find anything else he said; I believe ya though.

He’s really good! No reactionary bullshit either, which was relieving for me. Love some JMG

Speaking of which, is there anything on Isaac Arthur? Sometimes, his “wording” gets me a little suspicious on his leanings/beliefs. He uses “thugs” as an unironic term for genocidal aliens in one of his more recent videos.

We have only ourselves really to go off of, but I’m not quite sure that they wouldn’t find us particularly interesting. We catalogue all life on Earth; why wouldn’t a civilization whom used science and discovery to get to the stars, which likely had a biological catalogue system of it’s own in the history of it’s scientific development, not be interested in exploring new life? To see what “filters” they might have missed?

Alien AI and Von Neumann Data Collector by Joseph Michael Godier goes a bit into this.

Seconding Hoi4 TNO. Next option would DEFCON. Cheap, neat strategy game.

An anarchist primer like one of these?

Is there a podcast-text prompter?

Weird, I know, I’m the opposite of a lot of people. I have issues processing long-form information over audio; but can pour over giant tomes joyfully and reread what I need.

If not, I feel like that should be something.

What operating system does it use?

Are fucking high-power microwave guns going to have an actual purpose now?

What do you mean, specifically?

Like, my tone? The russia-ukraine history? U.S invading over 50 nations worldwide? Five Eyes?

Sorry, just gotta make sure lol.

Nor bleed their extensive chauvinism and short political memory all over the place.

There is multiple programs to enforce U.S hegemony over global financial trade, indeed, sanctions are one of these tools. Linux systems are used by the terrorist nation of the United States, certainly, in military use against civilians. Most certainly, intelligence operations have used Linux systems as means to spy and infringe upon our personal privacy waivered away by our governance during 9/11.

Nations collaborating with this terrorist nation also certainly use Linux systems in their governance. So that brings up a question, why is the exception carved out if this occurs when our nation and nations collaborating with it are bombing civilians, sponsoring a genocide and engaging in clandestine intelligence operations against it’s own citizens? Especially if Taiwan is a part of China and in the wisdom of Chinese leaders to suppress a violent fascist remnant that has seceded from them.

Russia is intervening after Ukraine was indiscriminately shelling citizens in an ‘active shooting war’ right on their border in an active genocide of those who decided to secede after Maidan which was funded by the West in order to expand NATO aggressively and Banderite fascists took over. The same fascists who are wearing lighting bolts and skulls as “ironic” tattoos found constantly on Azov and others. By the way, are Linux systems barred from Ukraine after they shelled the DPR and LPR? I doubt it.

The wisdom of Chinese leaders are already apparent in that they haven’t invaded over 50 nations worldwide nor participate with multiple nations in a data-sharing pool on spying on their citizens (Five Eyes). Why are there so many double standards?

As per your reply,

Nothing like a armchair dweller telling us to act like “real revolutionaries” when all they can do is puke out voting websites and tell us to consume like a chaplain of genocide.

“Just get a loan (with credit), apply for federal programs that will deny you (with credit), get a cheap mortgage (with credit and bum-fuck nowhere+4 hour commute)”

“What, you don’t like that? Stop using credit-cards, commie.”

Or…organize and consolidate power amongst the people around you.

A good chunk of us participate in autonomy; growing our own food, going vegan, not participating in blatant consumerism and monopolized economy. There’s also quite a few posts that have been…removed… for talking about “revolutionary actions”. You can think about it for maybe two seconds if you pull those brain-cells together why that might be. HMMMMMMM.

But yeah, thought-terminating cliché is the typical response of your kind when confronted with actual agitative ideals. It results in a sort of cognitive dissonance you have where that in order to be a revolutionary you gotta go full Uncle Ted or you’re just a illegitimate who doesn’t VOOOOOOTE for your bullshit genocidaires.

No thanks. I prefer organizing and agitating for direct change. When enough people do that; they can start doing things by force, however that may look. We are not here to “participate” in electoral politics, nor are we interested in “lessons” in how to succeed in the system.

Your ignorance of the average American’s financial system is astounding. Millions live paycheck to paycheck. Even asking 1% of your paycheck can be the difference between actual meals and a pack of ramen. Additional part-time jobs are on the rise in guise of “Rising employment!”. The system that you’re giving us advice on how to “succeed” is completely built upon foundations of violence, exploitation and destruction of the human spirit, ecology/nature and civilization itself to which it spreads it’s cancerous doctrine by bloodied marching boot to nations that don’t heel towards the private interests of America.

Lower interest rates don’t fix rental feudalism nor the ability for one to buy 20+ homes and influence local housing markets. Nor does it fix efforts by real-estate development to push lower-income people out and gentrify their neighorhoods. A ROTH IRA, 401k doesn’t pay my fucking 2,000 dollar+ rent in an area that has actual jobs to support the cost of rent. You shouldn’t HAVE fucking debt for education, healthcare, or for basic functions to grow and survive. Voting doesn’t fix a predatory system that demands pounds of flesh for existence.

You can cherry-pick all the examples about whatever senseless nonsense about other nations; but no single one has a count of interventions and mass-destruction like America and the “system” you want us to “succeed” in.

“Just buy a starter home and good luck on social security! Gotta give your retirement to private corporations!”

Here’s another one to any liberal out there: I’m not voting and a good chunk of this fucking board isn’t voting for genocide nor interested in participating in the circus.

People in the southern united states eat gator.

Careful comrade, libs don’t read sources

Agreed.

weirdly enough, despite their uneducated central “planists” who all got murdered; they somehow with sticks, stones and “uneducated workers” that were all brought back to life via Leninist necromancy managed to make a famine not happen again. Weird. It’s almost like the exploiters of that land were causing famines by their own mismanagement and that central planning actually contributed to the fact that the average soviet citizen ate better than the average American one.

Also, can I get some sources on the Soviets just selling all their grain? You know, when I set up a communist society; the first thing I’d do is satisfy all my trade agreements with the west instead of serving the people! That makes sense!

Oh and sources on the KNVD just brutally marauding across the land and murdering? I can only find deportations.

Start showing your sources, lib.
