>>2922735bro doesn't realize wages fall proportional to the cheapening of the workers standard of living (housing)
>>2922735the only reason the gov't created all that section 8 housing was to house negros. if you removed all non-whites from this country, housing would be affordable again. and that's just the tip of the quality of life iceberg.

>>2922789If by communism you mean democrats and obama nostalgia
>>2922809
This meme has been stale since 2017
>>2922782>a pure and ideally perfect form of capitalismThere is no such thing. All parts of the capitalist mode of production are plagued by contradictions that can only end with the complete replacement of the capitalist mode with the communist mode.
>>2922816yes and advanced capitalism gets you to the end quicker than inferior capitalism that takes hundreds of years to conclude itself
>>2922821Advanced capitalism ends in fascism with technocratic characteristics.
There is a reason so many feudal and primitive capitalist societies switched to communism and why no advanced capitalism switched to communism but all have switched to variying flavors of fascism.
>>2922831Good.
Foreign aid benefits nobody except the very few.
>>2922832Define "fascism".
>>2922834Authoritarianism operated for the objective of preserving economic hierarchy and the private ownership of the means of production.
>>2922834fascism is when annoying people insist on letypol that no definition of fascism is correct and nothing is ever fascism
>>2922842fascism is the result of liberal capitalism when rate of profit goes bust.
>wars of extinction are retarded, expensive and counter-productive in building wealthcapitalism isn't about building wealth you doofus.
>>2922842And what if the peasants can't / no longer want to work?
You do realize that fascism comes when capitalism is in crisis right?
>>2922847When does fascism leave
>>2922839So how is this different from literally all of capitalism?
>>2922841Correction: fascism is when le bad thing
>>2922845Define "liberalism"
>>2922851Unless destroyed by outside, usually fascism leads to internal bonapartist struggles as various factions amass capital they are not able to freely dispense with leading to tension with the state. Same thing that happened in feudalism with the tension between the aristocracy and the merchant guild. It should be noted that fascism does give out treats and gibs to the plebs as part of the revolution-staving strategy so there is some populism ready to be in conflict with the owner class. Privatization usually follows and we are back in neoliberalism.
>>2922846>capitalism isn't about building wealth the shit i read on leftypol
>And what if the peasants can't / no longer want to work?the eastern europeans were perfectly able to work and produce value at gunpoint, instead the nazis chose to throw away that massive pool of exploitable labor in the name of retarded race science and because fascism is retarded
>You do realize that fascism comes when capitalism is in crisis right?doesn't refute the fact that its a regressive form of capitalism compared to liberalism
>>2922853The ideology of the bourgeoisie and capitalism that supplanted feudal ideologies.
>>2922853Capitalism in general does not need authoritarian mechanisms beyond the general public order / military because there is free entropy to be generated. This means if there is room for growth, increments to wealth keep the system going. But when things start to slow down, the Tocqueville effect kicks in. Revolution happens not because things are unchangingly bad, but because they are not getting better fast enough. Under this stress, class antagonisms develop really fast and a fight for social surplus leads to revolution, usually from various elite circles, thus prompting crackdowns from the state. This begins fascism.
>>2922858>ideology of the bourgeoisieAnd what does this entail?
>capitalismSo Liberalism is capitalism itself?
>>2922855I never denied it is regressive. I stated it is the conclusion of advanced capitalism.
>>2922859So fascism is "authoritarian" capitalism, basically?
And what makes a government "authoritarian" in particular?
Fascism its not real. Capitalism gets violent and rabid in a crisis and people make up random names for it to frame it as something different from what it is. Its basically
>capitalism is a good boy, that country went bad because it went fascist
>>2922855i mean sinbad with his entropy nonsense is an idiot but you look even more retarded with your idealist gibberish.
>>2922863all you can do is JAQ off and negate the definitions of others. you could never come up with your own definition. that's what makes these conversations boring. all you people ever do is show up and go "umm ackshually that's wrong" by questioning the definition of every word until everything is meaningless. it's an easy trick.
>>2922860>And what does this entail?Rule of capital over rule of divine mandate, heavier emphasis on the prevalence of private property, death of the commons, the continuous ending of obligations to their subjects, mass industrialization, mass proletarianization, globalization, desire for endless growth, greater emphasis for nationalism and the nation
>>2922863To put it simply and avoid wordiness that comes with describing the Unspeakable Suchness(tm).
Yes, you could say it basically is authoritarian capitalism. It would also be correct to say it is authoritarian liberalism.
The authoritarianism comes with the suspension of rights and freedoms promised by capitalism/liberalism in the name of saving it. The more suspensions and exceptions, the more authoritarian it is. Usually things cascade after a critical point is reached. Also, at some point the public supports the authoritarian measures and you can say that point is when fascism is complete in hegemony.
>>2922869I tend to make stupid people cry. My bad. Plox forgibs me.
>>2922861there was nothing advanced about Chilean capitalism or Finnish capitalism on the eve of their fascist takeovers, you are too deterministic
>>2922869any actual arguments?
>>2922871>So Liberalism is capitalism itselfNo
>>2922870My definition of Fascism is a political movement established from Giovanni Gentile and Benito แดuแดlossnW from 1919 onwards, which in its practical aspect, resisted labour unions, the same as the National Socialists in Germany. The policies of the state were a continuation of war with an emphasis on patriotism. The ideas concern a "totalitarian" conception of man who is only himself as part of the state; it is a perspective which promotes "action" as a motto, the same as what was emblematic of the BUF in England.
>>2922871>globalization>nationalismIs this not a contradiction?
>>2922874>authoritarian liberalismSo what is "Liberalism"?
>suspension of rights and freedoms Such as? What rights are revoked in Fascist regimes?
>>2922855Fascism is liberalism btw
>>2922876Not sure about Finland, but Chile was the result of foreign intervention.
Even Italy's fascism sprouted from the developed industrial center of Milan before taking over the rest of the country.
>>2922876why should i put forth 'arguments' when you started this dicsussion by taking
>Advanced capitalism ends in fascism with technocratic characteristics.to mean 'advanced' in a technical sense instead of a temporal one.
'Advanced' in this sentence isn't a statement of value or judgement but objective fact.
>>2922887>Is this not a contradiction?Also no
>>2922887>demands others define fascism>Can't even provide a definition with substance himselfb8
>>2922895to be fair he did it after I bothered him about it
>>2922887>My definition of Fascism is a political movement established from Giovanni Gentile and Benito แดuแดlossnW from 1919 onwards, which in its practical aspect, resisted labour unions, the same as the National Socialists in Germany. The policies of the state were a continuation of war with an emphasis on patriotism. The ideas concern a "totalitarian" conception of man who is only himself as part of the state; it is a perspective which promotes "action" as a motto, the same as what was emblematic of the BUF in England. Maybe it would be better if nothing existed
>>2922893Howso?
How can one be both a globalist and a nationalist?
>>2922895What exactly do you disagree with in my definition of Fascism?
>>2922888>Fascism is liberalism btwnot quite. the removes the historical character of 20th century fascism by backwards-projecting it onto all post enlightenment history.
>>2922888bait
>>2922889and japanese fascism was spearheaded by the military. clearly this ideology is a bit more complicated than simply whats going on in the economic sphere. we're not talking about simple pokemon evolutions lmao
>>2922892are you confused? read the discussion again, I never said those words
>>2922887>So what is "Liberalism"?Idealistic fiction that came out of the late renaissance which prescribed certain features to humans and their relationships rooted in the concept of abstract freedoms.
>>2922887>Such as? What rights are revoked in Fascist regimes?Are you actually going to ask me this?
>>2922899I don't understand, how is it not a direct line, a clear continuation of the ideology?
>>2922899Name literally any aspect of fascism that wasnโt already embedded in US liberalism, Napoleon Bonaparte, or Simon Bolivar (besides industrial capacity). You literally canโt.
Ideology itself is bourgeois, I mean every ideology
>>2922901>prescribed certain features to humans and their relationships rooted in the concept of abstract freedomsRight, so liberal-ism is freedom-ism, per the etymology.
And what are the contents of these "abstract freedoms" which you appear to reject?
>Are you actually going to ask me this?I already did ask you.
If the US subtracted one's freedom to [x], it is more "authoritarian" in your view, but does that also make it more Fascist? Is there something particular to Fascist repression?
>>2922900>and japanese fascism was spearheaded by the military.The japanese military was an economy class of its own.
In fact, two classes.
The army and the navy both having different economic bases and objectives.
All your counterexamples are exceptions that prove the rule.
>>2922898>How can one be both a globalist and a nationalistBy being like America, and spreading global influence and global connections while acting like youโre the best and prizing the state over the proletariat
>>2922904the difference is who is the target. colonialism targets the periphery while fascism is brought home to the metropole.
>>2922899correct
>>2922904irrelevant distinctions to distract from the point, that fascism has the capacity to arrive in many different forms and from different sections of society
>>2922909>>2922905So, is "globalism" simply a proxy for imperial hegemony?
So to say, there can be no authentic globalism so long as there are nations?
>>2922910But how does that make it a distinct ideology completely separate from a classification of liberalism?
>>2922904>genghis khan killed and enslaved lots of people like the roman emperors therefore genghis khan was a roman emperorthis is the consequence of your logic of applying terms ahistorically. if fascism has no historical bounding to the 20th century, it can be backwards projected onto the entire history. any word can have its definition stretched to encompass the entire universe of squished down to mean nothing. When a word becomes synonymous with "everything" or "nothing" it can no longer denote anything specific which it was originally intended to denote. words are tools for carving out meaning and fascism is one of those words. It's like when people say christians sharing stuff with each other is socialism. 555 come on now.
>>2922914>how does the proletariat targeting the bourgeoisie make communism a different form of violence from the bourgeoisie targeting the proletariatwe can reword your question to show its absurdity.
>>2922907>And what are the contents of these "abstract freedoms" which you appear to reject?Negative Freedoms which were not part of human life until the 1600's.
>All humans were born equal>Freedom of religion>Freedom of press>Utilitarianism
<inb4 Positive Freedoms?they were implicit by virtue of having a good ruler and nothing official so these are not a problem.
I reject human rights as a concept because they involve prescriptive behavior that differs from place to place and time to time. Just let people live their lives and not go on crusades to liberate everyone.
>>2922915Whatโs the meaningful difference to any slave who their master is?
>>2922916If these are the same point, sure. Do you want to be more direct? If the ideological justification for fascism is liberalism, then fascism is a subsect of liberalism, and not a distinct ideological entity.
>>2922904nazi germany had four year plans. has america ever had a four year plan?
>>2922922The US was a planned economy during the civil war and in WWII
>>2922924so no, america has never had a four year plan, got it
>>2922913>So, is "globalism" simply a proxy for imperial hegemonyGlobalism is simply the process of treating the rest of the world as a sphere of political and economic influence.
>So to say, there can be no authentic globalism so long as there are nations?The true opposition to nationalism is internationalism. Authentic globalism already exists.
>>2922925Both wars lasted four years and the US not only had a planned economy but won those wars, so it counts
>>2922932What the fuck is a cyber force? A guy in tacticool gear on his phone next to the booth?
>>2922933It's a fancy way of referring to cybersecurity I think, except any civilian aspects of our cybersecurity programs have been completely gutted leaving just a military one directly controlled by Hegseth. So in short, expect vooting shenanigans
>>2922935I donโt expect the dems to do anything should there be vooting shenanigans, they werenโt willing to shoot anyone when George W Bush stole the presidency not once but twice and theyโve only gotten more cowardly and institutional norms pilled since then. Fuck I hate Obama.

what is new in the free world?
>>2922958>what is new in the free world?Supreme Court allows expanded Homeland Security database to purge voter rolls ahead of midterm electionsOn Friday, September 25, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can utilize an expanded Department of Homeland Security (DHS) database of citizens and noncitizens alike, to carry out a March 2025 Trump executive order aimed at purging state voter rolls.
In an unsigned order, the right-wing majority on the court granted the administrationโs emergency request for a stay of a lower court injunction that had blocked the database on the grounds that it violates privacy rights laid down in the 1935 Social Security Act and the Privacy Act of 1974. The latter law, enacted in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, prohibits โformal or de facto databanksโ or โcentralized federal information systemsโ built from sensitive personal data.
In the name of blocking non-citizens from votingโa virtually non-existent phenomenonโTrump ordered a massive expansion of a 40-year-old database known as Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE). The data system has been used by state governments to check the eligibility of residents for certain social benefits. Trumpโs 2025 order expanded SAVE to include natural-born citizensโ records, access Social Security Administration information, and allow state and local officials to conduct bulk searches, rather than only individual checks.
The additional data contained in Social Security files includes personal information about hundreds of millions of Americans: full names, Social Security numbers, dates and places of birth, citizenship indicators and death records, according to a notice in the Federal Register.
Under the executive order, state and local officials can request that DHS run lists of potential voters through the expanded SAVE system and flag names that are not listed as citizens. Social Security records are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to updating the status of naturalized citizens.
As a result, just five weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, with early voting having already begun in many states, the Supreme Court ruling could enable Republican officials to run multiple checks of voters in Democratic precincts, flagging hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of suspected โillegalโ voters and preventing many of them from casting ballots.
This is not a remote threat. The Trump administration is widely hated, its poll numbers are at record lows, the Iran war is massively unpopular, and soaring prices for gas, rents, mortgages, healthcare and consumer goods all point to a political debacle for the Republican Party in November. Trump is openly working either to rig the elections, block them altogether or overturn the results.
The Democrats, far more fearful of an eruption of mass opposition by the working class than the prospect of a presidential dictatorship, are doing nothing more than wringing their hands and filing court suits. They are completely opposed to any popular mobilization to defend the right to vote.
The September 25 Supreme Court ruling has the character of an interim decision. The court has not ruled on the legality of the March 2025 executive order and expansion of SAVE, which is still being litigated. It has thus far only lifted the block imposed by the lower courts.
In June, a US district judge in Washington D.C. blocked the administration from allowing states to use the online system to screen their voting rolls. Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, appointed by Biden, found that federal agencies โhaphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable.โ She concluded that the expanded database โtrampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote.โ
Earlier in September, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit rejected the Trump administrationโs emergency appeal for a stay of the D.C. court ruling.
The plaintiffsโthe League of Women Voters, its Virginia and Louisiana chapters, and the Electronic Privacy Information Centerโcompared the expanded database to the surveillance dossiers in George Orwellโs 1984. Following the ruling they issued a statement warning that the court had put โmillions of Americans at risk of being unlawfully targeted by the administrationโs unreliable voter purge database weeks before the midterm elections.โ
In their ruling, the majority on the court citedโillegitimatelyโa 1996 anti-immigration law signed by Democratic President Bill Clinton (the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act) as their authority for overriding the privacy protections included in the Social Security Act and the Privacy Act of 1974.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a dissent that was joined by the other two liberal justicesโElena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. Jackson wrote:
The harm caused by burdening or disenfranchising even a few lawful voters outweighs the nonexistent harm that the government experiences when it is prevented from taking an action that it likely lacks the authority to take.
She said the court should have left intact the lower court order that blocked the system while litigation proceeds. Jackson also commented that because of a federal law barring major changes in voter rolls in the 90 days leading up to an election, the ruling was likely to have โminimal short-term impact.โ
While it may be technically correct, Jacksonโs observation assumes that officials in Republican-run states will abide by the 90-day rule, rather than claiming that Trumpโs executive order takes precedence. Also, the 90-day rule would not bar post-election challenges to the legitimacy of the vote, such as the refusal of the House, presently under Republican control, to seat newly elected Democrats on January 3, 2027, when the House will convene to certify the election results.
In its argument before the Supreme Court, the Justice Department claimed that the expanded SAVE system is legal because it is a voluntary tool, to be used at the discretion of state and local officials. In fact, the DHS has sought to force states to run their voter rolls through SAVE by conditioning federal disaster and anti-terrorism funding on the databaseโs use. And earlier this year, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened election officials with criminal charges if they do not use SAVE. He said:
The states who choose not to participate with the SAVE program and they choose not to participate in secure elections, we will make sure that we make those states a priority to look at who voted in their states and will hold them, the election officials, accountable.
>>2922963cool cool cool
despite this the reps will lose but the dems won't reverse it once they get in
>>2922917So would you say that abstract freedom is a "false" proposition?
It posits "rights" which humans do not actually possess, and therefore they should be rejected? You suggest instead of a universal program, a particular program of governments. Practically, does this mean deconstructing global bodies like the UN and NATO?
>>2922968and chuds will be like
<despite all this cheating we still lost, that must mean they cheated harderso libs taking the high road literally just makes them look like more competent villains, which objectively they are.
>>2922954theres nothing incorrect about that statement
well the one thing we know FOR SURE and that EVERYONE agrees on is that the USA today right now is fascist
>>2922951>muh CCP runs like le LDP in NihonChina is a socialist democracy whether you like it or not
>>2922995But the Party's "businesses" are state owned. So taken literally this says "start a state owned enterprise". Why do Westoids immediately fail to make that connection and assume it means purely private?
>>2922995china needs to learn from the true inheritors of dengism: the USA
>>2922996congratulations you've discovered China is state capitalist
>>2923004State capitalism is the first stage of communism.
>>2923008with 0 historic precedent cope
>>2922970Mostly yes. We should stop harping about natural inailenable rights and instead make them practically evident. Also international bodies are serving imperial objectives and should be changed or scrapped.
>>2923011All successful communist revolutions did so. Are you a bordigafag?
>>2923012>We should stop harping about natural inailenable rights and instead make them practically evidentWhat does this mean?
>>2922955No, that was always my position. "The very foundation of interhuman discourse is misunderstanding" etc
>>2923008I know that's what was theorized but how do we know for certain if no one has successfully transitioned away from state capitalism?
>>2923015>"successful" communist revolution>failed to produce communismnow this is just retard thinking
>>2923048This is even about Jew hatred it's about Israel. The adl considers anti Zionism advocacy to be antisemitism in their stats about antisemitism

truly /leftypol/'s mayor.
what does /usapol/ think of brazillians claiming the US is preparing to invade brazil?
>>2923058Legitimate fear. But they probably won't do anything about. Neither will Americans but Brazilians should really up there defenses at least the ones who aren't trying to sell out their country.
>>2923058between outright invasion vs just interference i think the latter is more likely. but invasion is still very likely given how reckless the USA has become
>>2923058>invading brasil before cubadelusional
>>2923008The first stage of communism is communism
>>2923071lmao this is why you don't even try to appease them
>>2923064invasions in latin america are never explicit. you are not going to get a televised declaration of war and the usa military officially moving in and engaging the brasilian military. they'll send in covert death squads as they do. and then we'll all be discussing semantics whether or not it counts as an official invasion. fox news and every first response on a xeet stating its an invasion will be like "ummm no actually thats not a real invasoin according tohqwonsvjneri" as the entire world is once again forced to play dumb play along with the USA charade. we all know what an invasion is we all know what a war is we all know what a genocide is. but the most insufferable pathetic pedantic sub mentals will post. post like there's no tomorrow
>Zoran tries to appease the Zionists
>they still hate him anyway because it was always about Israel
Is he ever going to learn his lesson and stop trying to play this game with them? They will not be satisfied with anything less than fellating Bibi, you have to just tell them to fuck off. And fire Tisch already.
>>2923076america is straight up not making moves on brasil before cuba are you fucking retarded
>>2923080it already has. you are fucking retarded.
>>2923084That's my position on this whole thing. One the one hand it's annoying that he keeps bothering to throw bones to them, but every time he does the Zionist lobby increasingly shows its whole ass as the schizophrenic crybabies they are to the normies
>>2923089>it already hassource?
>>2922719Juliaโs speech(based on Ted Kennedyโs speech in the 1980 DNC) continued:
We note that it is important to take the issues seriously, but n3v3r tak3 ours3lv35 too s3r1ou5ly.
Our party is a few months old, but is at the vanguard of modern North American Marxist-Leninist thought. Proudly following the line of Marx Engels, Henry Clay, Vladimir Lenin,enver hoxha.
>>2923110apologize to the accelerationist trump-voters
>>2923113pretty sure the GOP is more than a few months old
Our cause has been the same as Marx and Engels communist league, the cause of the common man and common woman.
>>2923128>common womanno such thing.
women are vampires who leech off the salaries of their husbands without doing any work themselves.
how is this different from what the bourgeoisie does?
youre blinded by liberal identity politics, preventing you to realize that women are the true enemy of the working class
Our commitment has been just like enver hoxhaโs is to what he called the working class. On this we have defined our values, refined our policies and refreshed our lives.
>>2923078He has no lesson to learn because what he is doing is intentional.
>>2923135white people are fucking morons ive been getting free gas since 2003
>>2923139why do you think marx said "working
men of all countries unite"?
because women are bourgeois.
>>2922992so you can just waste the time of 50k lawyers over and over and charge the ADL insane amounts of money?
>>2923144this is cover for the fact that ai development is slowing down because LLMs have reached their natural limit, models havent really gotten better the last few months, diminishing returns
>>2923144Shits fake
Their suped up speak and spell tried to hack several government agencies and none of them are in trouble? This is just to boost their stock again
>>2923160>LLMs have reached their natural limit, models havent really gotten better the last few months, diminishing returnsthe chinese will break the limits again in a few months, release it for free, and then the seething west will try to hide it inside proprietary models again

>Among the Maryland recipients are Chabad Lubavitch of Bowie, Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, Congregation Bโnai Tzedek, Kehilat Pardes, McLean Bible Church in Montgomery County, Beth Sholom Congregation of Frederick, Camp Airy, Beth Tfiloh Congregation and The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen.
>Ron Halber, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington, said the grant program has become more flexible in how organizations can use the money.
> โNumber one is the amount of money. And two, is that the procedures have been liberalized. So it used to be you had it maxed, it used to be it could only be used for physical but now we appreciate the fact that the federal government has loosened the restrictions. If you need it to pay personnel, pay off duty police fine, if you need it for bollards to protect against a car bomb, or if you need it for protecting windows to make sure that they are shatter proof. Thereโs a lot of flexibility.โA billi a year just to protect Jews in this country. The price of antisemitism is TOO DAMN HIGH!

>Mayor Zohran Mamdani rolled out his plan to fight antisemitism Tuesday โ but still refuses to adopt a formal definition of anti-Jewish hate or acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state.
>Hizzoner formally announced his blueprint for a growing issue plaguing the city late Tuesday morning, leaving many in the Jewish community left scratching their heads after noticing a glaring omission in the 33-page report โ Zionism is never mentioned.
>โI sat with the Mayorโs Office to Combat Antisemitism in July and told them what Jewish teachers and families need: a definition of the hate, an honest reckoning with anti-Zionism, and real security for synagogues and schools,โ said Moshe Spern, the president of United Jewish Teachers. โWhat the mayor announced today does none of that.
>โQuoting the Talmud while refusing to name Zionism, and putting $1 million in security across every house of worship in New York City, is not a strategy. It is a disappointment.โ
>The adminโs strategy, which is largely a pared-down version of ex-Mayor Eric Adamsโ policy framework released last year, invests $26 million in the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes, another $6.4 million for the Partners Against the Hate grants, along with $1 million in security.
>It also appoints a Title VI coordinator to help address bias in K-12 schools and helps arrange NYC school trips to the Jewish Heritage Museum to educate students on the groupโs history. Both were pushed for by the City Council.Thank god the kids are still taking the yearly trips to the antisemitism museum. One of our finest American traditions.
>Moshe Davis, founding Executive Director of the Mayorโs Office to Combat Antisemitism, gave credit to the admin for following some of his recommendations, but says โit seems to make a conscious effort to erase the connection between the violence against Jews we are seeing in our city and the anti-Israel propaganda clearly fueling it.โ
>โA report on antisemitism that ignores what is driving much of the hate and violence against Jews is tone-deaf and dangerous,โ he added.
>โThough Zionism is not an endorsement of a particular Israeli government or political agenda, we cannot ignore that attacking or excluding โZionistsโ can and has become a convenient way to disguise antisemitism as political disagreement.โ
>Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn), co-chair of the councilโs Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, piled on over the notable exclusion.
>โThe Mayorโs plan to combat Antisemitism fails to address one key question: How do we combat the hateful rhetoric that rolls out of the Mayorโs own mouthโand the violence against Jewish New Yorkers he is fueling?โ >>2923182I watch this video in its entirety every time it's posted.

Anyways, now I take the unusual step of carrying the cause and commitment of our campaign to this board. Which the vast majority of North Carolinians will unfortunately not read.
I speak out of a deep belief in the ideals of this party and a potential senator of that party making a difference.

Anyone know anything about the Maoist Communist Union (MCU)???

AI SI pump and dump last?
>>2923236It's anything to save Open AI from bankruptcy at this point.
>>2923199They could've called it Awesome Intelligence or something stupid
>>2923237It's a disaster in slow motion. Almost half of S&P 500 by market cap is AI at this point. It's a trillion dollar bet that somehow someone will be able to pull ahead and be able to provide value that Chinese models on hundred grand server rack can't. OpenAI IPO will probably be the turning point. It'll be a bloodbath of privileged investors dumping their bags on retail.
>>2923236The stock market is 100% artifical. Like 90% of stock is owned by like 600 rich people. Who are all just pumping and dumping their own companies. Even if one of their "investments" go under theyll short it ahead of time, their failed company goes bankrupt and all debts are cleared. They strip sell all the assets and then get a bailout.
