I don't understand why yanks say they are Irish because they have dna or some shit. You are even less Irish than the protestant settlers.

>what if gosplan had computers?
That is a rather non-trivial what if. Not that Soviet economy didnt suffer from systemic issues unrelated to computation, but having technology to carry put a detailed economic planning vs not having it are two meaningfully different scenarios.

>postwar social democracy failed
It could have probably survived with proper reforms and maybe some painful but temporary austerity. In spite of criticisms from both the left and the right, the Nordic model works fine and Norway is a great country to live in. It is completely unprepared to deal with the doom that's coming, but then, besides maybe China, who is?
Instead of building a path to that system, "everyone" decided it was impossible and that uncooperative antisocial liberalism was necessary because it was the only system that wouldn't fail, and now whoops, it's failing.

Anyway, the gist of modern socialism (which is not a single unified ideology but does have its common ideas that nearly everyone today agrees on) is that private ownership of the means of production structures society as an antagonism between those who own them and those who don't, and those who don't tend to lose, often badly (you're hopefully not so sheltered that you need examples of this). It is generally desirable to live in a society where this doesn't happen, and so the goal is to build a system where prosperity doesn't rely on the existence of this antagonism.
I stress: the goal is to build a system, not to "ban corporations" or anything like that. Socialism is not "capitalism but with a ton of prohibitions". Sometimes the solution proposed is quite soft, e.g., market socialism.

Read fucking Marx and Lenin as well as the following PDFs as well.
TL;DR: The poor are poor because that's how the system works, empathy is mostly useless without a systemic means to actualize it. It may help a few individuals or in some cases a large number of individuals, but on the greater scale is inconsequential.
>free Taiwan
uygha Taiwan isn't controlled by the Chinese State, Taiwan is literally a US puppet state inhabited by and governed by the descendants of Nationalists that fled China after losing their war with Mao.

The fuck does this mean? Do you actually know what Socialism even is?

Then you might as well set up camp over there if you're going to be an ignorant chode on purpose. On THIS forum we read posts or we don't but we do not shame people for using too many words.

anime = pedo fascist degeneracy, very few exceptions

>>766999
I'm with you there. But I've long since cooled it with the anime-bashing. It's clear that anime, for whatever reason, is intrinsically tied to imageboards. It's all over this place and any other chan type forum I've ever been to. I've been banned multiple times for posting these images.
I really only get upset when they spam sexualized anime stuff on hobby boards. They have like six boards just for different fucking genres of that shit and they spread it around everywhere and then when people bitch they respond "anime website." As if that means anime pertains to all things at all times and we're just lucky to even be allowed to post non-anime topics.
I really will never understand its appeal at all. MAYBE to children who actually live in Japan. Not to adults, not to Westerners, and not to adult Westerners. I like me some Akira or Ninja Scroll as much as any film fan. But I don't get the fetish stuff or the little girl stuff. I don't get the fascination at all. And there seems to be no explanation anyone is willing to share with me. I don't know anyone like that. I'm a fortysomething American and I don't know these people. I don't know how they even discovered anime here, let alone got into it or obsessed with it and fell into some rabbit hole where they make it their identity.

But it's just another thing where the janitors are banning based on personal bias. They let sex images of pink catgirls stay up in off-topic threads and ban me for "trolling" when I call the perverts perverts and kindly ask them to stay to their many containment boards.

Your logic is unsound.
Just because an outlier of right wing degenerates spam anime doesn’t make it bad

>Morality has nothing to do with it
>society should treat sexual and romantic needs the way it treats basic needs like thirst
the thing is that the way that society thinks about 'sexual and romantic needs', the way society thinks they should be treated are goddamn parts of morality. there are ways society likes to do those things and ways it doesn't and so forth

>The glass of water theory is a doctrine asserting that in a communist society, satisfying sexual desires and love will be as simple and unimportant as drinking a glass of water.
This could mean anything from castration and killing the libido to brain in a vat.

>>766996
>are goddamn parts of morality
Not necessarily. You can plan an ideal society without evoking morality, i.e., "society should be like this because it's in my self-interest".
And even if it weren't the case, none of this entails that drinking a glass of water is "morally equal" to sex. What does that mean? What is the moral value of drinking a glass of water?

>>767027
>Not necessarily
okay bro. I get it. you just don't know what morality even means. is this bait?
>an ideal society
an ideal of society fully depends on your morality.
even the sentences like 'X should…' are moral prescriptions.

>it's just that ai code is much harder to verify and maintain and gets churned out with much greater intensity.
>but the ship has sailed, most professional programmers […] are not going to voluntarily give up on the tool that makes their jobs a thousand times more chill.
Well yeah. It's like a pitcher plant. Proprietary code quality is going to take an unrecoverable nose dive while projects made by people that just want the computer to work will rise.

This might create a kepler effect where it becomes impossible professionals to get anything working because of all the unvetted mistakes within any proprietary tooling that exists or will ever exist.

Computers will become a toy exclusively for nerds as no serious buisness will consider the idea of hiring a programmer.

AI is deeply flawed, you can almost always tell when it's AI and it's becoming more flawed due to only having other AI images to source, it may be faster but the cold indifference of AI will never overcome the indomitable spirit of the proletariat

that clip cost significantly more than $2 to generate, it was just subsidized by venture capital. of course the full cost of generating a whole film is still significantly less than making one normally, but given the quality difference it's like bragging that a machinima cost $20 to make while disney's 3d animations cost hundreds of millions
