  • I do not think Democrats have shown “you can work with them on some level.”

    They have shown with their actions they would rather cede power to fascists than let genuine progressives win and have demonstrated proudly they learned nothing from the experience of doing so.

    Establishment Democrats have proved without a doubt they will functionally do nothing to stop Republicans from gutting every social program that helps the poor except make purely performative statements about how against it they are. Same thing with Schumer and Jeffries with respect to “being against” the Iran War, they want this almost as badly as Republican lawmakers do.

    The DNC must go.




  • Wow what a surprise it failed?!???

    Don’t these obsessive rightwing projects of micromanagement expanded into a violent and pervasive state of control by overconfident vastly powerful men usually work out perfectly?

    I am shocked!

    They probably weren’t worshipping strength and productivity over everything else in their lives hard enough.

    My personal armchair opinion is they should try it again but this time have less empathy for the weak and downtrodden who don’t fit into the plan. Then it will surely work! I know this because I am a rich and powerful businessman and that makes me less naive than everybody else.


  • I mean there are a whole lot of fascists in Germany…

    I might go as far as to say German culture is the least capable of resisting fascism in Europe based on the last ~150 years of history. Which doesn’t mean all Germans are like that but Germany has a serious weakness towards becoming broadly enamored with fascism. (I live in the US, to be clear I see the US very similarly).

    Of course Elon Musk is going to be popular with fascists in Germany. This is the same old shit over and over again.

    I will say the idea of Germans buying shitty, badly made US cars because they are made by a company owned by an inept fascist is pretty funny in a dark way.







  • I used to post a bunch of articles there, I love that community but I recently had a bad experience with the way the Lemmy World team treated my concerns (and many others’s concerns) about Jordan Lund and the selective, problematic moderation of the Lemmy World politics and gobal politics communities. See this post here.

    Also see the post I made on the Lemmy World Support community and it was locked for frivolous reasons.

    I know this is a strong reaction, but I stand by it, this is very important for the health of the Fediverse.

    If I were part of the Fuck AI community on Lemmy World I would be concerned that once more and more news articles and journalism comes out about how some US tech companies were knowingly complicit in the Palestinian Genocide as a profit seeking venture I would be nervous that the Lemmy World team wouldn’t begin to become pretty uncomfortable with the Fuck AI community.

    I would love love love if y’all migrated somewhere that was more willing to confront the ways in which AI has become a tool of obfuscation for complicity in a globalized system of violence that transcends the confines of any one single country.
