  • I’m sure the FBI will be dispatching a team of experts to immediately investigate the servers at Meta, seize and analyze the offending content, and rescue the children being abused.

    How about another congressional inquiry with Zuck’s robot doppelgänger?

    Or, maybe the latest rogue Meta AI could be used to regulate Facebook advertising content instead of boosting stock price.

    Mandate that websites support ad-blocking? Stop using Facebook?

    What am I talking about? None of that will happen of course, that would be insane! Let’s just continue on as if everything is normal, because that’s what this is now. This is what’s normal in a world with the Meta corporation.

  • In the laudable goal of dismantling of western hegemony, .ml and Russia are certainly having an effect. However, it’s quite clear to me that a Marxist-Leninist alternative is not the goal.

    The problem I see is that they’re working to simply replace one imperialist system with another. If in the work of dismantling American hegemony they serve to support a Soviet-style dictator’s hegemony, its just the same imperialism using Marxist-Leninism as the justification instead of “democracy” and “capitalism”. Furthermore, supporting MAGA as a vehicle to weaponize US incompetence is still supporting an authoritarian president, even if it effectively shrinks American hegemony.

    This is the same Cold War of constructed ideologies we’ve been fighting since the end of WWII, it is just that America has been ahead until now. Us vs. Them; America in the Middle East, Russia in Eastern Europe, China in the Pacific, Vietnam, Korea, etc. It’s just empires snatching up vassals and exploiting influence. The only difference is that in the US, we use the veneer of elections to “legitimize” it.

    I cannot claim to be impartial or innocent of this, but I still think it’s disingenuous to misrepresent the philosophy of Marxist-Leninism to in-effect support yet another imperialist and authoritarian system just like the US does with democracy, and that support is all I ever see from the users and communities of ML. Although I’m sure ML can say the same thing, which seems to be how we ended up here.

  • ML is not far-left, it pretends to be in order to spread pro-Putin, pro-Russian, and pro-Republican state propaganda because they know it’s destroying America. ML and Russia are about as socialist as the Nazis claimed to be.

  • This warrantless mass surveillance technology chain can also easily be used to silence dissent, chill speech, and oppress by race, religion, gender, sexuality, pregnancy status, and any other status so deemed problematic by those with state power. This is not a power delegated to the government by the constitution, and it was not built to protect the people.

    We accept impositions on our liberty for the protection of the general welfare. Did this actually protect us?

  • This man is insane:

    In an interview with Rosanne Barr, he seemingly without emotion said,

    “So I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van, because I was gonna skin the bear,”

    “It was in very good condition and I was gonna put the meat in my refrigerator.”

    “I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,”

    “the little bit of the redneck in me” thought I have a bear carcus and a bike I need to get rid of, why not put both “in the bike lanes.”

    “I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea,”

    “So we went and did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.”

  • They’re locked in a decades-long cycle of abusive extraction.

    American religion, politics, economics, and ecology are reaching the limits of an unsustainable system that only knows how to extract wealth and power. The Soviet Union collapsed for similar reasons. Above all, that form of government collapsed under the weight of propping up The Party’s false reality and its debts to the truth. Real operating principles flow from hard-learned evidence, experience, and wisdom. Societies simply cannot operate indefinitely from convoluted principals engineered to benefit only the few. This is the flaw in the philosophy behind modern conservatism - it’s fundamentally abusive.

    People stick with the devils they know. When long-term planning is negated by the cognitive load of navigating abuse, it can be almost impossible to adapt to new sustainable modes of thinking and living. When the house of cards collapses, those unable to adapt cannot be saved.

  • Classic narcissistic abuse cycle.

  • Let’s not send anyone to Iran, unless they are an IAEA inspector moderating enrichment activity under an international nuclear arms treaty.

  • Jenny (the boat) survived colliding with the dock and survived a storm that destroyed the rest of the shrimping fleet, leaving Forrest and Lt. Dan to be lifted from poverty, allowing Lt. Dan to reconcile with God and his self-hatred.

    Google already has more money than God, and is monetizing AI to kill God and steal his money.

    Has this guy even seen this movie?

  • THIS is why the FOURTH AMENDMENT and phone security systems like GrapheneOS are a RIGHT.

    THIS is why everyone has something to hide, and why privacy matters. Privacy rights protect citizens against oppression.

  • Every single one of this man’s ideas is an attempt to use pop-folk medicine to kill and replace real healthcare reform in America. It’s not a coincidence that each of his “remedies” replaces actual healthcare with a version costing fewer tax dollars, which can then be redirected into tax breaks for billionaires.

    His ideas sound insane because they are hyper-normalized - a false reality attempting to mask truth.

  • Starer is a board certified obstetrician and gynecologist who has a subspeciality in addiction medicine. She was primarily a practitioner of addiction medicine before her arrest in 2022.

    What I can’t imagine is being intelligent and empathetic enough to be a board certified medical doctor, and then completely embracing such a toxic, hateful, and simplistic political ideology. How does all that intelligence and experience fail to transfer?

  • Have you tried firing all the nurses and just not giving anyone healthcare?

  • Maybe after that we could politely ask him to stop convincing our stupid president to further embroil us in Middle East conflict.

  • The ring came off my pudding can! :(

  • Were you sent here by the devil?
