I have no clue how I just realized that “Vote Blue No Matter Who” is a somewhat successful attempt at democratic centralism.

The Solar system has vast secrets and riches, all for us, and we don’t have to share, because it’s our system.

That is until we find the massive moon worms whose tunnels we tried to colonize. /s

Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine

That’s a tiny minority sect of Jews in Israel, a majority of Jews in Israel support the existence of Israel, that’s why they’re there.

A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.

Can vouch for Viture being much more open source friendly, there’s a redditor making a plugin for the steamdeck to make it work far better with the Viture’s, and Viture has apparently given them access to some things that Xreal has refused.

Their openness is what won me over for them over other AR glasses. Not only are the willing to help what’s effectively a competing software developer, it’s also incredibly helpful when the product is so niche, don’t have to worry about a company going out of business and your device suddenly becoming a paper weight.

There’s this thing called social democracy,
and almost every nation in the world has a social democratic party. The left wing of these social democratic parties tend to be full on democratic socialists.

There’s a good chance that the welfare system in whatever country you live in was built by these social democratic parties and influenced by its left wing of democratic socialists.

Even in the U.S. FDR’s Liberalism has been called “bootleg social democracy” by some historians, and his policies were influenced (though often more as concessions than willing adoption) of the more socialist leaning unions of his time. Even today, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party could be described as social democratic, with its leftmost members (Bernie Sanders and AOC) being democratic socialists.

Idk man democratic socialists seem to have been succeeding in doing it almost globally for a century now.

Look at the left of any social democratic party and you’re bound to find some.

But you see that small socialist elite proclaims it’s doing it for the working class, therefore it’s okay now.

Don’t look at those prisons full of attempted trade unionists pls.

It’s called second campism, and it’s been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).

Now they just support any regime that’s anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.

There’s a massive massive difference between how Biden’s administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

There’s literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump’s fascism.

This is just blatantly false, if an organization is committing crimes or doing something the government dislikes then the government will sanction it, like it has done with almost every Russian Oligarch’s business, or front businesses for terrorist groups.

I’m pretty sure the whole point of banning TikTok is that the government is alleging that TikTok has engaged/can be forced to engage in abusive or illegal practices.

Yup, I mean I’m pretty left, but the endless politics is probs bad for the platform in the long run. We need more “normie” and hobby communities if we’re gonna keep attracting new people.

Enough to know it’s bullshit.

Sure you can grab the one example in my argument that was actually functional and not fully symbolic, but my point still stands, humans build seemingly irrational things to grandstand, and the Pharoahs would’ve for sure done the same in their role as dictators.

I have my fucking doubts.

And I’m sure so has every serious academic who has studied the pyramids and all came to the conclusion that it was a tomb, and if you read their reasonings for that I’m sure you’d understand why they came to that conclusion.

Here’s an electrical engineer tearing apart the electrical pyramid conspiracy theory for it’s misunderstanding of basic electronics.

Honestly, why would they make three precise giant buildings for a tomb?

Same reason we would spend a stupid amount of money on the St. Louis Arch, Statue of Liberty, or Palace of Versaille, or any work of art? To create a lasting symbol of something and to symbolize status.

I’m sure you found that book very compelling, but any electrical engineer or historian with an understanding of that period’s technology could rip it apart.

Wtf? Pls say this is satire.

Yeah, me either. It sounds way too much, like an unpaid full-time job. Could only really work with a bunch of good moderators.

You think we could start a World Politics community here without it quickly becoming r/anime_titties?

If you cut out a tiny bit of someone’s brain and then hooked it up to a cpu, would it be a mind? No, of course not, lol. Even if we got Biocomputers to work, we still wouldn’t have any synthetic hardware even close to being strong or fast enough to actually create or even simulate a brain.

This literally says the US is under the control of Jews and calls for the death of American Christians.

Okay but you realize that any job would be competitive in situations of poverty right? That’s why you need the second data point.
