Supposedly, I am a human, who does very human things.
Seriously. Its on the level of delusion of the super stonk bros covered in "This is Financial Advice".
Can yall please pretty please stop fucking supporting horrible regimes and then also trying to use them as examples of socialism? You're not helping anyone. You're literally only hurting the appearance of socialism.
Its like you don't get that you actually have to sell people on the idea. You certainly won't convince people with bashing people over the head with delusional or pedantic at best history rewritings/retellings about horrible people.
Those people were bad, socialism is good. Separate the ideas. Everything is better this way.
I gotta be real with you. This comment very much sounds like the delusional super stonk member who think eventually the big system they believe is colluding to fuck them trips up on a technicality and makes them uber rich.
Basically, you're just imagining a reality that wont exist for so many reasons.
The biggest reason is that the AI GPUs do not use DIMMs largely, and even server dimms (ecc rdimms) won't fit in your PC.
More than that, by the time anything does happen, technology will have moved on.
If you're about to say "but I don't have to", Id ask you why you arent on a 10 year old computer right now.
The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.
Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.
Its always been a shitty meme aimed at being cruel to new users.
Somehow though people continue to spread the lie that the linux community is nice and welcoming.
Really its a community of professionals, professional elitists, or people who are otherwise so fringe that they demand their os be fringe as well.
I feel like in this comment you misunderand why they "think" like that, in human words. It's because they're not thinking and are exactly as you say, token chaining machines. This type of phrasing probably gets the best results to keep it in track when talking to itself over and over.
When they lose it needs to be cause they were not left enough they need to lose
This idea that you can punish the DNC by having them lose, is a foot gun.
They are 100% happy with that and it absolutely would not cause them to shift even a centimeter left. If anything, it will shift them right.
The DNC wants to please their corporate donors, and only wants to win half the time.
You want to punish them? Replace them slowly using primaries, state and local politics.
Anything else is shooting yourself in the foot by misunderstanding the incentive structures.
I’m sorry but it is naive to think that misinformed voters will learn the right lesson and vote blue no matter who.
I never said I thought they would. I said its the closest to possible way out.
Nothing is is remotely plausible.
It is more practical to ask for better candidates.
No it is not, because the people you are asking do not care about you.
I think many people in the lemmyverse struggle to deal with what they feel like are conflicting ideas, where they feel like they can't acknowledge that their relationship with the DNC is adversarial, while also acknowledging that the Democrats are the only party of the 2 parties in a system that only supports 2 major parties that can be leveraged to pull the country towards their objectives.
Better candidates have to be voted in over time, and just as I said, you have to slowly shift the party through primaries and local and state politics.
This requires a multifaceted approach. The DNC will not magically wake up tomorrow and hear your pleas. They will not suddenly support your sweetheart candidate.
They understand and largely like the flipping back and forth so that they can please their donors by allowing the country to continue drifting right, while appeasing to voters by offering to undo some of the harm caused by the republicans during the flip flopping.
Asking them won't work, because it fundamentally misunderstands their incentives and goals as an organization steering the Democratic party.
I think significant progress could be seen if they could win 4 times in a row with at least one senate super majority and house simple majority stretch near the end.
This is partially why the world is so fucked. People who care, often utterly refuse to be pragmatic, and expect change to always be sweeping, and happen in an instant.
This is what is responsible for the US getting to where it is. They repeatedly allow democrats to lose, and therefore pull the same cycle of losing, having everyone see how much worse republicans are, and then having the democrats walk back some of the damage the republicans did.
People are so naive and angsty, they feel they need to punish the democrats for not doing what they'd like, and only end up punishing themselves, over and over and over again.
The obvious, only pragmatic way to look at this, is that you need them to keep winning so that they cannot backslide, and then you need to use primaries and state and local politics to actually shift them leftward.
Literally nothing else is practical or will work, but people on this site would rather rant about issues than fix them.
The sentiment that the AI bares any noteworthy responsibility for this is purely anti AI rage, that should be aimed at legitimate problems.
Imagine suing a notebook company for their paper being the paper of choice for selfharming teens?
Imagine suing home depot for selling rope and a stool to someone who has had enough?
Imagine suing nickleback for making music of the quality that encouraged this?
Im saying, we're all aware this is some bits on a server right? Like this is clearly not a person, doesn't have the impact of a person, and unless they've specifically tuned it to manipulate the impressionable into killing people, these sentiments just don't make sense.
I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.
They are getting something that they desire more than lower grocery costs or anything sane things any sane person would value.
They are getting to hurt marginalized people with their votes.
This is their single voter issue, and its the reason why no matter how much they've shot themselves in the foot, they'll buy that 500 dollar advil their insurance denied coverage for and load up another shell.
They don't evaluate politicians based on if they're happy. They evaluate politicians based on if who they hate feel sad.

I see the difference...
Trump is massively losing support even with the republicans, because most care more about the economy and inflation than whatever random agenda trump decides on that day
Hitler did many things that also hurt their economy. Hate > any of that.
Poll numbers waning (relatively slightly actually), don't negate the comparisons at all.
If you remember, Hitler was such a loose cannon, he was having them use their limited resources to build megatanks even while it had been shown that fewer, more practical tanks were clearly the answer, and they were already having massive trouble with the running gear of tanks they had already built that were too big to be practical for the time.
I’m aware of the polyanya principle but in this case it feels like most of the country isn’t just unified in not supporting him, it seems most are actively against him.
I have absolutely no idea what is giving you this impression, especially given his broad support from ceos, field reports, in surveys, etc.
It seems to me, pretty clear that people that supported him, almost entirely still support him, even if they complain about X, Y or Z. The number of people who are quite happy with what ICE is doing for instance is quite high amongst his base. To them, this is the biggest promise delivered on hurting marginalized people.
If that happened across the country I think we’d see massive revolt.
I am befuddled by this sentiment. The list of things which people have said this about, which then come true, followed by absolutely nothing happening is so long it would probably exceed the character limit.
Every day a red line people thought would mean death by execution by treason just 4 years ago is crossed, and then pretty much nothing happens.
The red line keeps moving, and nothing keeps happening. That is the plan after all.
I would agree they’re trying to normalize it, and they will try to keep taking it further and further, but we still have a ways to go considering the country’s reaction.
It feels like you are doing everything possible to pretend you're in a nice warm bath as opposed to a boiling pot here.
The acceleration when looked at via a comparison to pre WW2 germany is at a faster not slower rate.
The power is being concentrated at lightning speeds.
The effect is essentially the same
The big problem is that its absolutely not the same. Its not the same for the exact reason you really don't want to believe that he is. Using the word, and acknoledging its meaning and the trajectory would mean accepting reality as it is, and that is a bleak, frightening and depressing thought, but the sooner people have it, the better off they'll be.

You are looking way too much
What does this even mean???
it’s just an observation from a minority looking into popular American and international popular culture.
Just this phrasing alone indicates not black, and probably not darker in skin tone, otherwise you'd have mentioned it and well, quite frankly, I feel it is much less likely you'd hold the opinions you currently do.
That’s really not it. Look in the mirror, your insecurities are showing. Just because it is not popular in popular culture does not mean it is niche or insignificant. Reality is not a popularity contest, the only place popularity is important is in regards to general awareness.
What a mess of a self contradicting attempt at an character attack.
That implies that you admit it’s a catch all term now, just that it’s inception has been founded on -
No, no it does not. This is me literally pointing out that when being used in the current context, it was intentionally not a catch all term. That's literally the entire point of the paragraph you are trying to form a gotcha out of. There is no way for me to read this other than being in obvious bad faith.
True, but irrelevant in regards to why it has become popular
This sentence is paradoxical. How could it be true that its irrelevant when its stated that this is its primary draw and goal? You can't agree and then disagree with those statements. That just doesn't make sense. They contradict each other. Admitting the first is true, inherently means that it is very much so relevant to how they "became popular" which you still haven't addressed the criticism of the weal word usage of by the way.
It came from the people who had a problem with the movements that used the term, but most MAGA members who know the term won’t even know about its history. Hard disagree again.
They wouldn't need to know its history to know its meaning. You are literally first admitting that its meaning is exactly as I said, contradicting what you've already said earlier in this comment, then, arguing a non sequitur in that somehow them being unaware of the full history of the term means that they aren't using the term with the meaning you've already admitted is the meaning they're using it with.
Literally all of your comment has been so self contradictory to this points its verging on absurd.
I'm starting to believe I am just being trolled by you TheObviousSolution.
But that also meant they made the term woke popular in popular culture as a result.
This is you now recognizing that popular and popular in popular culture aare different after previously standing your case on them being the same.
Who is?
You are. Thats literally been your point. Your point has literally been that "oh they don't really know what the word means" with constant streams of contradicting statements following that point, which I think you know has always been false.
by just
No, Im not letting you play the "just" game where you pretend what you were actually saying was something different than the clear text exclaimed.
Literally in this very comment right here, you attempt to find a gotcha, where you say that the definition has changed:
That implies that you admit it’s a catch all term now
You said this.... right in this comment....
So how does them making the term so popular that it outs them as bigots work into the term being a dog whistle? Because I’m going to have to say, I don’t think you know what the meaning and use of a dog whistles is either if you are claiming this.
This point straight up doesn't make any sense at all.
- I called it a fog horn, pointing out the fact that its stretching the limits of what a dog whistle is.
- Related to one, and a key element of my point, this matters because it literally only works in that folks that have similar opinions to you, think that the definition is now a catch all rather than the extremely blatant and obvious bigotry it is.
I have taken some verbal abuse elsewhere in the thread because this also made someone else insecure. In your case, I would say it is provoking something akin to a hyperimmune response.
This is just an elaborate way of you claiming you've "triggered" me, making me pretty certain that you are a troll at this point, but I'll still leave this comment in the hoptes that at least someone else who reads this gets the logic of why your argument is faulty and helps defend maga members.
Given the clear bad faith, I don't forsee future responses being useful to anyone past this point though, as I don't imagine anyone will be reading past this comment anyways.

Oh yeah dude,
Well then I guess our only solution is genocide/mass murder.
Is such a legitimate take worthy of proper criticism and attention.

This is not a zero-sum game, you can do fucking both.
See, thats the thing. You can't. People have limited time and bandwidth. Doing something with a burn rate thats 9:1 with its rate of success, vs something with 1:9 makes no sense.
But I will not stand for
Doesn't sound like you stand for much of anything tbh, so Im not sure this makes a difference.
saying it’s useless to reach people they don’t agree with
That's not what was said, and you know that. The fact you have to resort to dishonest arguments betrays how weak your position really is.
The people I suggested reaching are still people with who progressives disagree, they just aren't fuelled by hate.
Not only does this work, I am standing testament to it working.
This is very interesting and telling to me, but not in the way you're hoping Im guessing.
but I promise you
I can promise you that your promises mean absolutely nothing to me. You're also arguing against a point that isnt debated.
I promise you in real-life conversations you can change people.
You can, over long periods of time, with tremendously more effort than if you started with people that weren't already off the deep end and weren't already so far you lived in different universes.
Peer pressure from having converted the people who didn't care will do far more work than fruitlessly banging heads against brick walls... racist brick walls at that.
What are you even hoping to accomplish here other than trying to get recognized for having bad experiences?
See, here we have more bad faith from you where you pretend that you being unwilling to engage with my point, means that the only reason I don't align with you must be because of bad experiences rather than the plain logistics reasons I laid out of work in to result out. It makes no sense to start with the inefficient option.

What an absurd take.
Why would they? Ram hasn't been a problem for more than a decade relating to UI.
Electron apps being 500MB simply isnt a problem. People aren't loading 15 seperate instances, at most power users are loading like 3.
