Literally Auschwitz. The pictures are the same.

It also shows, they want the hostages dead. No way the hostages survive if Hamas starves to death.

Yep, don’t know how this comment ended up here. It was about Japanese tech regulations in an English community.

Entschuldigen Sie bitte meine Fehler.

If the EU and Japan can align their legislation, that brings a lot of critical mass to the free world. Which can avoid Big Tech dominance over our technology.

If the UK, Canada and Australia also join, then perfect.

And fuck it, let China join in too.

Indeed, but the way the math for expansion works is that there is something called a Hubble horizon and that makes it impossible to ever reach the edge, since it is moving away from us faster than light. (The limit doesn’t apply to the expansion of space-time).

Quite a nifty solution by the Supreme Programmer to avoid us hitting the limits of the simulation. I couldn’t have designed it better.

Agreed. Algorithms, bots and fake news work together to create and perpetuate harmful narratives.

I think the DMA has the right idea and it should be extended. Any platform with a large user base should be heavily regulated and controlled.

We can still have mostly unregulated and uncensored free speech on small platforms, since those aren’t harmful for our democracy.

A commenter on the site made the same comment, but I find it difficult to believe that insurance companies won’t adapt more quickly to marked increases in vandalism.

If they don’t immediately raise rates, then they will make less profit.

If their competitors do raise rates, then the Tesla owners will flock to the ones that didn’t raise rates and those companies will end up with reduced profits due to having more Tesla’s and thus more claims to cover.

Well yes, I 100% agree.

It is in fact possible to have well paid agricultural labour. My own family has done it. It’s still hard labour, but it doesn’t have to be low paid.

But at the risk of sounding like a neoliberal, I don’t think it is wrong that middle class Americans, who are rich by Latin-American standards, have the opportunity to get their kids an education so that they can become UX designers, lawyers and doctors.

The same happened in my family, and we don’t have anyone doing farm labour in my generation.

And I therefore also don’t think it is morally wrong that poor Latin-Americans try and earn better wages so that they, too, can provide their kids the same opportunities.

Just stop the exploitation. Give them an honest wage and let them enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Upvote, cause in principle you make the right argument and I think Jasmine is tone deaf to use cotton picking as an example.

But let’s be honest. Americans don’t want to perform low paid heavy manual labour.

They aren’t going to be manufacturing garments in factories or picking peaches from the fields any time soon.

So I have to credit her for making a good argument, even if she chose the wrong example.

I know, but these things tend to be all or nothing.

Either the American workers don’t seize power and they continue to get exploited, or they seize power and then a lot will be possible.

And even if the Supreme Court does rule it to be illegal, the only way to remove him is through impeachment.

That ain’t gonna happen.

And if it miraculously did happen, then J.D. Vance would pardon him and continue the grift, just in a little bit less obvious way.

Yeah, I agree.

On reddit it seems the remaining human commentators are those who have taken over the mannerisms of the bots and adjusted to talking to the bots.

And you always get stuck in these endless loops of hostile disagreement.

That’s just not how normal humans argue. Even on the internet.

Normal humans either agree to disagree or just give up. In both cases ending the conversation after all useful things have been said.

I agree. Very much like Reddit in the early days.

Also, the level of civility and intellect in the comments is relatively high.

That’s the point. Your problem is that a lot of voters aren’t affected by wage growth. So politicians don’t feel the pressure to enact wage growth.

All those senior people will actually vote for the guy who keeps wage growth in check.

In the land of the blind, the one eye is king.

Sure, it could be better, but it isn’t better anywhere else.

And it is $17 in 2030.

Here from Europe, let me recommend one thing we do well: we link our equivalent of social security to the average wage growth, not to inflation.

This ensures that all voters benefit from wage growth. And thus all voters demand the same thing from the politicians.

Ok, then you’re arguing against something I never said.

But thanks for being polite.

It’s not their fault, but they definitely chose to prioritize supporting a genocide above pleasing their most fervent base.

They had polling data for months showing the impopularity of it and the low polling numbers. We all saw the polling data.

They broke what many considered to be an election promise in 2020 that Biden would be a one term. And they robbed their voters of an open primary, most likely because they knew a progressive populist would easily beat Harris. Harris has never appealed to a broad audience.

But even so, Harris got an enormous boost when she replaced Biden. All she had to do was distance herself from his unpopular positions. She should have criticized Biden on inflation and working class income stagnation. She should have let a Palestinian talk at the DNC. She should have met Arab Americans in Dearborn. And she should have voiced criticism on Netanyahu to get the hostages home and stop the killing. Heck, even Biden had more class when handling upset protestors.

But she dropped the ball on all those important issues.

It’s political incompetence and a sell-out to corporate interests.

I’m sure that someone more savvy like Pete Buttigieg would have easily beaten Trump.

But still, it’s not their fault. Everything Trump is doing is his fault.

Dude, are you living in a basement and only organizing in your head?

People like Cori Bush organized before they held office and still organize today.

She started out as a pastor and a BLM activist 10 years before she held office. I have no idea what else you want.

The only difference between MLK and her is that she temporarily held elected office. But she didn’t sell out to corporations and got primaried by AIPAC.

I see no difference between Cori Bush and MLK.

Also, American churches have been neutered by prosperity gospel and commercialized megachurches.

As much as it pains me to say, but it’s unlikely that American churches will ever produce pastors like MLK again.

Sorry, I don’t buy that.

It’s a bit wishy-washy to expect that some organic process will magically produce angelic leaders better than the ones we have now. There are no shadow leaders hiding in the bushes waiting for the revolution.

No leaders in history were perfect. Not MLK, JFK, FDR, Mandela or Lenin.

You gotta be realistic and get things done with the leaders you have.
