Let me put things in German terms for you, this is like Alice Weidel and Olaf Scholz running against each other in a close election for Chancellor, where Weidal is the batshit crazy candidate that spews conspiracy theories and Scholz is the sane guy that nobody likes but is better than the alternative. While Weidal is doing a rally for her campaign, some neo nazi, perhaps even further right than she is, attempts to assassinate her for whatever reason. Despite Scholz having nothing to do with the incident, Weidal and the entire Afd crowd start blaming him for it because of the conspiracy theories that she, her party, and her supporters spew and believe. That's how you get our current situation.

Can I just say FUCK The Democratic Socialists of America, those scumbags can eat a bag of dicks.

Just look at their stances, views, and activities:

• They blame the US for the Russian invasion of Ukraine
• They want the US to pressure Ukraine to surrender to Russia under the guise "negotiations"
• They want the US to leave NATO
• They support the Venezuelan dictator, Maduro, so much that they literally sent a fucking delegation there to meet him
• They organized a tone deaf pro-Palestinian rally on Oct 8th right after the attacks when the world was still in shock
• They outright want the destruction of Israel. Not a two state solution, not coexistence, but the eradication of Israel
• They quite literally want open borders
• The organization is full of full blown vile Marxists who to "abolish capitalism" and establish socialism
• They condemn social democracy
• In 2016 they refused to endorse Hillary and spearheaded the movements that called for people to boycott voting Democrat, which led to Trump winning
• In 2020 they refused to endorse Biden and spearheaded the movements that called for people to boycott voting Democrat, which helped Trump make the election closer than it should've been
• In 2024 they're doing the same exact thing by refusing to endorse Biden again

They have ALWAYS simped for all the dictators and authoritarian regimes. They have always had the most brain dead stances on foreign policy issues. They subscribe to a colossal failure of an ideology, and their interests are not with the US succeeding. They are nothing more than assets of our foreign adversaries.

The organization and movement at large is nothing more than the far left and the most whacko of Bernie Supporters that even he is uncomfortable with. I'm glad AOC went from being a fringe extremist politician to becoming more pragmatic and moderate. She has been winning me over more and more lately, and this just proves that she's moving in the right direction. Once again, the DSA can get fucked.

Hillary is pretty divisive herself, and there was bound to be another Trump like candidate in the next election who would makes waves. Trump is a symptom, not the source

This is a pretty misleading article. They cite the BBC "investigation" as a source, but if you go to the BBC article you'll quickly see it's not an investigation or anything near that. It's just a reporting of the anecdotes of 3 individuals who happen to be Palestinians living abroad. You can't establish any type of conclusions on a sample size that small.

This isn't a study, it's not a survey, it's not a poll, it doesn't prove that Microsoft is intentionally making these bans, it doesn't track down the actual reasons for the bans, or anything really. The BBC article is fine for what it is, just a reporting of a mildly interesting event, but this windoscentral article is just bad bait.

Serious question, why would anybody do this? These are the requirements of an actual job but without any of the pay. If someone is putting in this much effort, they might as well just apply for a real job and get paid for it.

I understand that you guys want to screen people first, but lmao are you guys going overboard. The people who view this as hobby aren't going to put themselves through such unnecessary and worthless hassle, and the people who want a job won't apply because there's no money involved. The only people who would qualify and want to do something like this are people who literally have no life. These are people who have no family, jobs, or a social life.

China is collapsing before our very eyes, and it's already too late to turn things around. There's literally nothing that the CCP can do to get themselves out of this hole. The demographics are cooked, the economics are cooked, the public infrastructure is cooked, the foreign policy is cooked, the domestic politics are cooked, their environments are cooked, and the list goes on and on. China is one big clusterfuck right now and we should watch everything as it unfolds and take notes on it. China's downfall is going to be the biggest and most devastating self inflected collapse in history.

We should also do the same with Russia because they're also collapsing as we speak and it might be the end of Russia as a multiethnic empire for good. We're living in interesting times people

Even though I disagree with Bernie on a lot, he is a class act. This is absolutely the correct response. It shows that he has moral integrity and stands by his principles

Being an introvert does not mean being socially inept, it just means that you prefer certain types of stimulations. You can be introverted and socially capable at the same time.

Everybody is tired of these dinosaurs. I don't know anybody conservative or liberal who's thrilled about either candidate.

As far as this election goes, my thought process goes like this.

Biden: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible!

Trump: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible! x100

Therefore I'll be voting for Biden.

Reddit's strategy is genuinely brain dead. Just think of the shit they've been up to:

• Jacking up API prices to unreasonable levels and killing off third party apps that brought millions of users on to your platform
• Continuously make the UI shittier and shittier to the point where it's unusable
• Do the same with the app
• Kill off old Reddit which is the sole reason millions of users still use the site
• Add awards and expand the feature to basically become paid reaction emojis
• Remove awards even though they were one of the biggest revenue streams
• Announce it was a mistake and add the awards again
• Add avatars that nobody asked for and make some of them paid
• Add a premium subscription that does nothing and do absolutely nothing to improve it
• Add a bunch of useless features that nobody uses like Reddit live

Truly the works of geniuses.

It's true lmao

Kevin Roberts reminds me a lot of Carl Schmitt. He is one dangerous motherfucker. Everybody talks about Trump, but Trump is just a figurehead. It's parasites like Roberts that are actively seeking to destroy the foundation of this country.

Actually many of them do try that, it's just that they'll only ever relevant enough to reach a wide audience during presidential elections when more people are tuned in, disgruntled, and actively looking for alternatives before the cycle repeats itself.

I doubt it. Something like this already happened before in 2017. A deranged Bernie supporter went to a congressional baseball game and tried to shoot as many Republicans as he could. He ended up killing 6 people. However, despite that, there were no reactionary shootings. It was an isolated incident. I think this will be the same, or at least I hope.

This is according to the CCP which isn't that reliable.

If anybody read the study, which I highly doubt, you'll see that this story is highly exaggerated. The actually study showed the sterilization in women went from 2.83 per 100k people per month before Dobbs to 5.31 per 100k people per month after Dobbs. For men, the increase went from 1.03 per 100k people per month to 1.18 per 100k people per month.

Here's the study for anybody who wants to see it:

There is a visible increase, but the actual rate is a lot smaller than what this article is attempting to suggest.

They're not really comparable. Crypto and blockchain were good solutions looking for problems to solve. They're innovative and cool? Sure, but they never had a widescale use. AI has been around for awhile, it just got recently rebranded as artificial intellectual, the same technologies were called algorithms a few years ago... And they basically run the internet and the global economy. Hospitals, schools, corporations, governments, the militaries, etc all use them. Maybe certain uses of AI are dumb, but trying to pretend that the thing as a whole doesn't have, or rather already has, genuine uses is just dumb

Least brain dead Russian shill

They're both. You can't detach them from the market because they are products of the market. In order for a house to be built you need landscapers to clear out the plot, a construction crew to build up the house and foundation, electricians to wire up the house, plumbers to hookup the pipes, roofers to put on the shingles, architects to design the whole thing, and you need to buy the material... which require loggers, welders, miners, factory workers, glaziers, and the list goes on and on. Even then, you still need appliances like stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, etc and each of those has it's own supply chain and ecosystem. All of these people are trading their labor for money, they're not going to work for free. Therefore, in order to have a house, you have to pay all these people in the chain to actually get the final product which you can either sell or enjoy. A house is commodity made of commodities. I'm not exactly sure what you're expecting here, do you think the government is going to build houses with slave labor? Do you think we're going to water the ground and get houses to grow? Do you expect us to follow in steps of a failed ideology like Marxism and have the government try to control the entire economy? No, these are all dumb. We can acknowledge that these are necessities and should be made accessible, safe, and affordable but also acknowledge that they're products of the market and therefore we have to work with it, not against it.

We didn't join WWII because the Nazis were bad, we joined because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and then Hitler declared war on the US.
