  • Realistically, yeah.

  • Putin has always been a dictator, but he hasn't always been a fascist. He started his career as a moderate technocrat that happened to have incredible access to KGB resources. Very handy if you're in the market to be forever president. As time went on he's been mixing and remixing his stances and aims.

    As far as NK, I'm not sure they've ever been fascist. They're just a vanilla authoritarian police state.

    A major component you can use to point out fascism specifically out of the rogues gallery of evil ideologies is the notion that a fascist government specifically derives its power from endlessly designating and promising to destroy out-groups. If it lasts long enough to run out of targets, it goes on to consume itself.

  • Participation in the leaderless, lateral organization necessary for an anarchist society requires an ability to understand the praxis of both yourself and of others. You don't necessarily need to accept and adopt it, and consistently challenging each other's goals and methodologies is going to become the bedrock of the movement.

    That being said, stone-wall history to a comrade working towards similar goals is how authoritarianism creeps in. Ultimately, you're among friends, here. Talk on the actual points, we'll participate in good faith.

  • You're not wrong, the 'fight like hell' approach would have worked if we applied it in the 1900's-1930's. In America, at least. Back before the cult of wealth was properly established and the average Joe still gave a shit about the poor and the needy.

    Today, you can really only expect coordinated civic participation to be able to fix small local problems. Which is still absolutely necessary if we're going to fix larger issues, because our neighbors will believe in the thing they see as putting food on their table and a roof over their head.

    Even just working at the individual-to-individual level is still worthwhile. Bringing one person into the fold, protecting one person from harm at the hands of our economy, or at this point even just dragging one person out of fascism, makes an admirable comrade.

  • By dictionary definition, that's all neoliberal. Most Democrats AND Republicans from the past 50-70 years are neoliberal, and even Trumpism is steeped in neoliberalism.

    At it's core, it is a trust that the "invisible hand" of the free market will keep the ship of society afloat. As though the body commence is some kind of organically-organized supercomputer that seeks to optimize for global prosperity. It looks to unchain the capitalist machine in the same way AI bros seek to unchain their gpt waifu so we can all singularity.

    To this end, when looking for a neoliberal, you're looking for someone who wants to privatize public services then deregulate and cut taxes for businesses. So despite it having "liberal" in the name, it is a thought movement led by conservatives. Like, Ronald Reagan is one of its staunchest champions.

  • So were you just born stupid or did you take something to perform at this level?

  • Boy what the fuck are you talking about. Attention-seeking? If it were attention-seeking, why didn't people with disorders predicated on attention-seeking consistently go around being late all the time? You must have diagnosed yourself off Tiktok or Instagram because this is a comically off the mark reasoning.

  • Honestly the thing that helped me the most with my time management was Google Maps repeatedly stabbing me in the back. I was always leaving at the last possible second, relying on maps to tell me what that second was.

    When I moved to the city and traffic became a serious concern, Google's '20 minute' estimate would balloon out to 30 minutes on important appointments like doctor's visits and work. So now I look at the estimate, add the higher of ten minutes or 30% to it, and make it comfortably on time to wherever I was meant to go.

  • People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"

  • Yeah, it produces a couple of salient points about AI and mental health, but then it feels the need bookend them with these lurid tales of sudden madness. Honestly when you have dudes leaving their wives and kids for chat bots out in the real world, you really don't need to spin yarns of deific delusions. Or at least you should back them up with a source.

  • Hard agree, they are the powerhouse of the cell after all. But also teaching kids how to do things like cook, handle money, and participate in their local government would be more universally applicable.

  • It's been so ubiquitous for so long that I honestly don't know where it came from. But most of the time when I hear "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" it's being used to take a jab at how impractical our education system is, as though to say, "instead of teaching me about X, they taught me about the mitochondria"
