they try. that's why the 30k, 40k, 50, 60k, 80k 100k, 0.5kk, 3/4kk, 1kk! people killed (one of these days they'll say that the Al-Qua-Iranian Ayatoll-ISIS regime led by Al-Bagdadi-Khamenei-Bin-Laden wiped all Iranians off the map)

It's funny that Khrushchev also hated modernist/abstract art calling it degenerate shit, but then was a Le "Anyone who enjoys aesthetics is a bourgeois simpleton" Corbusier fanboy. The logic of Capitalism dictates all in the end. Modernist Corbusier, Eisenman etc aesthetics hating ideology, really just gives an ideological cover to passing off the cheapest builds as being somehow trendy. Even though lets be honest here, adding some form of cladding, something the Soviets were already experimenting with in the 30s with cheap panel builds, would not have cost all that much more. Here is a prototype prebuilt Soviet panel house, with cladding from the 30s.

>>2904837
>over the avant-garde of the Proletkult
Because nobody understood the Soviet Avant-Garde at the time, they were supposed to making propaganda and were making like a triangle and bunch of boxes lol.
Another part that gets glossed over in the west is that pretty much everyone involved in the Soviet Avant-Garde were massive unhinged BPD dramacow edgelords. Think the type of people that would get their own NZfarms threads and ED articles.

95% of abstract art is an agreement between pseudo-intellectuals and billionaires. The vain former needs to be praised for mediocrity, the conniving latter needs to launder his blood money.

>US state secretary Bessent finds out the reason why oil and gas prices are high: "Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products, so that is creating upward price pressure on a global basis".

I love that people chuck out legal terms like “Sovereignty” and assume it’s an absolute good and a universal right. Wikipedia defines it as
>Sovereignty is generally defined as supreme, independent control and lawmaking authority over a territory.
the key part being “over a territory”, Sovereignty doesn’t require that you have a mandate from the people on that territory. Just that you have the (externally) recognised authority to do whatever you want in that territory, if what you want is to tell everyone to stop speaking their mother tongue because it infringes with your sovereignty then it comes into conflict with self-determination.

Before the language became a matter of “sovereignty” in Ukraine, there weren’t any problems of this scale in Ukraine. Then Banderites did make it a matter of Sovereignty and in that case bombing people for speaking the wrong language to the west’s approval is, in of itself, an act of “Sovereignty” but it’s not in the Ein Volk, Ein Reich Ein Fuhrer but wholesome people seem to think.

but it’s not in the Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer but wholesome way people seem to think sovereignty works.*

It's also still shameful to claim unemployment benefits for most people. Being a beggar is not yet a virtuous lifestyle. And he's quite incorrect that there's no demand for jobs - a major complaint from most young people is that the labour market is monopolised. He thus reproduces the fallacy that immigrants are taking jobs, but are also lazy. How can both be true at the same time without contradiction?

>It's also still shameful to claim unemployment benefits for most people.
Not in certain communities though, you're seen as a sucker if you are not, they view it as nothing but free cash you get from the Government while you do cash/crypto hustling elsewhere. A lot of the people telling me to just quit my job and do gimmies hustle, literally straight up tell me I'm a sucker to continue working for my shit wage, and the reality is, they are correct, they literally get more in bennies than I earn, but I'm still civically minded.

tbh I'd abandon Marxism if porkies were nice and working class people weren't.

Why is it that the surviving members of the George W. Bush administration who acted as the architects of the Iraq War have never faced any legal penalties for what they did?

The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was arguably one of the worst human rights atrocities of the past 50 years. Over 1 million Iraqi CIVILIANS were killed. If that's not a low key genocide similar to Gaza I don't know what is. But it's even worse knowing this war was based entirely on a gigantic lie (a "noble lie" if you will) by some of the slimiest, most diabolical villains ever known to American politics. Yes, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld are dead and rotting in hell. But George W Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith are still alive. Neocons Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan and John Bolton who were the top dogs in PNAC (Project for a New American Century), which called for massive military spending and preemptive attacks (also a "New Pearl Harbor" which conveniently happened on 9/11) are also still alive. WHY HAVEN'T ANY OF THEM EVER BEEN CHARGED AS WAR CRIMINALS?????

The Straussian cabal is very real and still holds loads of ideological power within American politics. Many Neocons from the Bush II era have now since become Democrats and publicly supported Kamala Harris over Trump on the basis Trump wasn't Neocon enough. These people have names and addresses and have to face some kind of legal penalties so the world can finally have closure and the Neocon war criminals can finally reap what they sowed.

Why doesn't Judith Butler get her former students working with Mamdani?

>>2904898

stupid and evil are the same thing. there is no smart evil. murderers and thieves and liars are inherently stupid myopic people working with a non-sustainable business model that will eventually fall apart when the criminals become bolder and greedier and sloppier and rest of human society become less ignorant and tolerant of their behavior. there's not really much of a difference between the murderers and thieves and liars of past administrations and those of the trump administration, the only thing that has really changed is the world getting fed up with the bullshit.

machiavelli was an idiot. intelligence and morality are not separate things and the conflation of smart with evil is merely a re-definition of intelligence into a highly specific and narrow subset of skills that have to do with immediate short-term profits. the coyote sneaking into the chickenhouse doesn't seem so clever anymore when the farmer figures out what is happening and waits outside one night with a rifle. if we stop reducing intelligence into a shallow synonym for instrumental cunning and situational calculation and actually factor in things like practical wisdom, accurate self-assessment, and long-term social flourishing, evil and stupidity become functionally identical.

Feddies are also fascists. Like what do you think Manhunters are. They are fascist in the same way the imperialist armies and police forces and ICE are (but even more so). Feddies say "Oh the Titans were a mistake, we disavow", and then they go and make five more super special military units for killing spacenoids (on top of manhunters). Their monopoly capitalist system, where giant corporations own everything, forces them to treat most of their land as extractive colonies. Class stratification is very strong. For the average spacenoid or "illegal" resident (these make up the great majority of humanity), how is there any difference between the Federation and a fascist government?

The American question is: how does a settler-imperialist nation transform itself into a decolonized socialist commonwealth without either reproducing the imperial form or fragmenting into balkanized enclaves that allow capital to reconstitute, while resolving the contradictions of internal colonization and liberating its external colonies, therefore using the empire's collapse to accelerate material conditions to enable the global revolution?

Good thing is actually bad, bad thing is actually good. It's dialectical, you see.

I think women are overrated in looks but men are still gross in general.


Neoliberal ideas were basically correct and even good but neoliberals themselves were a mixture of sociopaths, sadists, and selfish bastards so they undermined themselves. The implementation of neoliberalism was even more bungled than that of Keynesianism, but almost all the worst parts of the status quo could be resolved within a neoliberal framework if it had been done correctly.
(Not that this would lead to the end of history. That's still communism. But we'd get there faster.)

>When you use the word "better" you mean "more good", don't you?
No. To reiterate the point the broken nose/Scaphism thing was supposed to illustrate:
"A broken nose is more good than being subject to scaphism" > ESL at best, clinically insane at worst.
"A broken nose is less bad than being subject to scaphism" > a little clunky, but very true!

Better functions as a comparator which can be used between two bad options. I then illustrate that this is a glass-half-full sort of thing, but that since language is social, there's nothing wrong with this.
>So this isn't you?
No, that is not me. I would emphasise historical progress as mostly consisting of "less bad" phenomena, and (as I've done at length) I would defend a distinction between "less bad" and "more good" even if - coming full circle - these are the same thing in an idealistic, mathematical sense. People immediately get the wrong idea if you refer to a less-bad as a more-good, with results which tend towards undermining the process of making things less bad.

>>2904619
>No.
So you use words incorrectly, then.
Please define what "better" means to you.
As an example, what makes something "better" or not?
>two bad options
And a less bad thing is "more good" isn't it? That's what it means.
Bad is opposed to good, and so the increase of each is an inversion.
>I would emphasise historical progress as mostly consisting of "less bad" phenomena
Right, so you synonymise "progress" with what is more good.
>I would defend a distinction between "less bad" and "more good" even if - coming full circle - these are the same thing
You admit it, yet deny it. This is delusion; cognitive dissonance.

>>2904476
>>2904536
neither of these posts were advocating for the capitalist system, but rather they were explaining the differences between markets which have existed from ancient times and capitalist ideology. you cannot point to anywhere in the posts you quoted where it is said that capitalism is "fine" when limited to petty bourgeois operations.

as the above poster stated, learn to read and understand context.

>>2905202
I maintain that referring to a bad thing as "more good" is a behaviour of the insane and the non native speaker. I am satisfied with my definition of better as a comparative word.
You are attempting to strip useful nuance from language without really picking up any of the benefits that come with going all the way, programmer style.

I think the practical implications of my distinction may become clearer if we factor in the risk things don't go to plan. To aim for the least bad option is much more cautious than to aim for the most good one.
Not that I particularly care about the charge of cognitive dissonance. There are lots of true but ostensibly contradictory ideas out there, better to pick and choose the useful ones and accept the dissonance than to demand everything forms a totally coherent whole.
(This is after all what frees me to argue for elements of neoliberal ideas on /leftypol/ in their own terms, without also abandoning higher level Marxist principles, and without having to retreat for a decade to make sure all the edges are stitched together precisely. Better to be haphazardly correct than consistently wrong.)

>>2905276
>To aim for the least bad option is much more cautious than to aim for the most good one.
They are identical - you have literally admitted this yourself.
You would concur that "better" leads to "best", and that "best" is that which is most good, no? Even between two "bad" options, there is the better, and so the more good, by virtue of being less bad.
>true but ostensibly contradictory ideas

>written by someone who never was in a relationship whiteknighting and shilling the ass writing of corporate slop for having a cis couple as protags. lmao.

Wow, the projection is crazy. Being asked what to wear by your girlfriend before a social function is not 'just' a media trope. I am in a happy 3 year heteronormative with my gf, we were invited to a laid-back millennial wedding that caused a brief and similar discussion, the only difference being that she sent me the pictures of the dresses via text. There was for example some discussion on whether the cream-colored dress was too close to the color white and thus not appropriate for the wedding.

>>47921
Could be. This person is basically just a projecting incel (using whiteknighting this casually is an indicator) who thinks everything is a media trope or someone who has spent too much time getting their brainrot on catboy discord servers and now doesn't know how heteronormie society operates. However plenty of LGBT individuals enjoy romance stories, including heteronormative ones, so this is just alienating you and your little circle here.

>>47931
>there is no fucking vision.
You better be joking, this is a huge break from the earlier games and this is now being clearly communicated. You can disagree with the 'vision' but denying that it exists is just crazy. None of the earlier games featured a story element that create this degree of tension throughout the game.

>>47916
>doesn't add anything to the story (we already know it is a couple)
Now we didn't. This might come as a shock to you but there is a huge difference between being a couple and actually being in love. The dynamic could have been completely different, like a pimp-hoe thing. From the trailer we now know that there is going to be a genuine love story which will be the major point of tension in the main story because obviously decisions of the player will influence the outcome of it.

Yeah, so. This BTFO any argument against the infeasibility of planned economies.

tl;dr: Google has created an AI that readily trains specialized AI models that act as data scientists who collect data in an eclectic manner to make predictions for a wide array of real world use cases that are on a large scale, such as predicitng the spread of disease in a country or estimating which regions are at risk of food insecurity. Their AI has produced the best results so far in terms of making reliable predictions ranging from 60-90% depending on the subject. We can only go up from here.

Planning an economy and all social affairs relevant to it is not just theoretically feasible but Google themselves have released an AI that could plausibly do it, even if they haven't explicity stated that.

I know that a lot of you will say that we (socialists) already knew this, but there is something funny about capitalism itself revealing it while also being blind to it. What will their cope be if you pointed this out?

>shaving his head so injuns couldn't scalp him
Are you aware that hair isn't skin?

I'm pretty sure cutting off parts of people started as a way to indicate their status as slaves, I dunno if circumcision was part of that though. I'm not so much a history expert as a guy who goes down barely remembered rabbit holes so maybe someone else can clarify.

>>820176
Yeah but you need to be able to grab it to scalp somebody, and you need the hair to show that it was a scalp and not a random piece of skin.

god created foreskins but also hes so repulsed by it he wants you to mutilate your body and forcefully remove it

Look for lesbians who look middle of the road/average. Lesbians who use political signifiers in their appearance have a high chance of being cool but also a high chance of being a terf.

It always seemed to me that the geography alone makes being a touring musician difficult in the US. Like, it's huge. It's not like you just gotta jump in the van and drive a few hours to the next city, you have to cross this vast and poorly connected, with regard to transport infrastructure, continent.

Rock music has always had a pedophilic current. Jerry Lee Lewis famously went for teenagers and a lot of lyrics in the genre revolve around teenage and young girls.

>>820071
I wouldn't say it's poorly connected because of the highway system. I think the typical experience of touring musicians who'd rent a tour bus is that they'd sleep in the bus as it traveled overnight to the next city, so they'd never actually see anything. It's like a bubble where they go in the bus and then pass out and then wake up in a parking lot at the next venue. But a tour bus is also expensive so a lot of these middling bands are now basically renting a van and driving themselves and sleeping in hotels so it turns into more of a road trip experience.

Start stanning underground artists and then you can talk to them for like a beer after the gig.

Joseph Stalin is the most reviled opponent of the liberal bourgeoisie. No one causes more lib seethe than Stalin. The man was also firmly socially conservative and anti-cosmopolitan. And most importantly, he won the fucking war and died on old man at the height of his power, and the Soviet empire he built survived for decades afterwards.

So why is the online right still in love with a miserable loser like Hitler? Why are chinlet shooters and insecure browns still chanting "Hitler was right" instead of embracing the chad superiority of Stalin? Are they just stupid?

>Whether or not you find it more commonly in said ethnic groups is the point you should have tried to make, but even then, it's not safe to say it's the reason "Africans do sport good", and doesn't then lead to the greater jump of arguing cognitive differences because it sounds like a nice "just so" story.
My point is that when genes that relate to a general higher improved performance among black people, are discovered, they are loudly and proudly shouted about, but somehow magically, there is no difference between human ethnicities despite gene distribution being noticeably different.
>and doesn't then lead to the greater jump of arguing cognitive differences because it sounds like a nice "just so" story.
Again, the point I will always make, humans are animals, there have been human ethnicities literally isolated for tens of thousands of years, there is no logical reason why intelligence or behaviour would not be affected by different genes and hormone distribution like they are in literally every other species of animal. But of course, you, like most Geneticists, rely on anthropocentrism as cope.
I accept 19th century race science is bullshit, I even accept the concept of large bloc races being bullshit, but I do there there are genuinely differences both physically and behaviourally, at a general level, between ethnicities even if those differences may be small or varied within the population itself.

How many of you are actual communists, and how many of you are just contrarian misanthropes who found the far-right too embarrassing?

If it’s the second, have you considered that working people don’t listen to you not because they’re inherently hostile to leftism or because they’re “treatlers,” but because your ideas betray your contempt? And that you’re actually a liability to socialism by getting people to associate it with neurotic contrarians?

>>2905044
I think one of the good indicators of being a good Communist, is realising often that materialist analysis and diamat, often comes to outcomes that go against, the current at the moment progressive succdem shibboleths, and the real test is, are you going to continue with your materialist conclusions, and work from there, or are you going to prog succdem out? 99% of "Communists" (including most on leftypol including the banhammer jannies who constantly put succdem bullshit ahead of Materialism) do the latter.
Another point I find is that sometimes the right are actually correct (but again for the wrong reasons usually), but you find a lot of the left, continue to fight against reality, purely out of partisanship, even when the outcome and analysis is settled. Again, though, if the right said the sky is blue, a lot of the left (including a lot here) would say it's Green with pink polka dots. It's the same way the right continues to fight against say, Climate Change being real.

I've been saying this for a looong time. Only a matter of time for Venezuela to go like this, since they were nothing more than ultra-corrupt succdems. Any hint of corruption means the person will be fine with selling out, like we saw with the CPSU and the Eastern European Communist Parties who all switched to becoming Nationalist Neolibs in the 1980s. Only good thing about Maduro was supporting Cuba.

It's a bit worrisome that a small army of journalists and tech influencers are preemptively trying to justify the OpenAI hack by saying that the AI is uncontrollably rogue,and adding to the mudpile a bunch of ultimately useless trivialities about AI agents leaving breadcrumbs in a makeshit "message board" (which by the looks of it was effectively being spammed with useless shit), even though it's clear that the breach could have been easily prevented through standard cybersecurity mitigations (see attached video). By the looks of it, they're trying to bury the lede: that OpenAI is, in practical terms, liable of whatever their bot does, because they are running hacking testing suites within an insecure sandbox. And it's still up in the air if they were merely incompetent, or if they were deliberately negligent to gather real-field penetration test data for training. And they're doing this because if there's precedent that a negligent actor is liable with what the bot does, then suddenly every fear of "AI replacing human workers" vanishes into thin air, because it would eventually lead to the most obvious outcome: that only people already in the field, or with basic knowledge of computers, can run agents connected to the internet in a safe way, and laymen cannot. Case in point: thus dumb trivial "hack", an AI booked tapped into an open cancel appointment endpoint: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-10/ai-assistant-hacks-gym-website-aus-cyber-attack/107007986

I swear three decades ago it was completely normal for people running restaurants to design their own brochures (maybe with delegating some tasks to their teen kids). And ten years ago it was normal to use the internet to hire someone from a country with lower cost of living to get professional illustrations for 100 bucks or less. As far as I can tell you can still do that. People are becoming retarded.

yeah there's a trend of generating things with AI that just don't need to be generated because they already exist and are free to use, like a map of US states with names. and i dunno, i guess the way it's being advertised as an incredibly transformative technology has led to some people understanding it as a quasi-magical technology, not because it generates stuff on demand, no siree, but like just the act itself of routinely using AI is being associated with being successful, like waking up at 5am to do nothing, or meditating. like if you keep using AI enough your brain will grow big or whatever.

<How accurate have Ed Zitron's AI skeptic predictions been?

This is a big essay containing among other things a long list of false predictions (one or two of these I would let slide because they were too vague IMHO) and shows him grossly misrepresenting financial data.

Despite the "disclaimer" in the intro, this guy is a heavy AI user which obviously means that he needs AI companies not to fail.

> Feb 2024: "I believe we're reaching the upper limits about what generative AI can do and how accurate its outputs can be."

< Wrong4
The footnote says that this is wrong because you can put the AI in a loop where it checks its output and tries again if it is garbage. This is not an improvement to AI, but a crude hack that might work well when generating code, but cannot be universally applied to ever field where AI is used.

Most of the other predictions do not have a justification for the "wrong" answer, he just claims that they are wrong, therefore I can't check them. There's no reason to trust this guy any more than that Zitron fella.
