Another use case is replace Hollywood movie execs with LLMs. Sure it will greenlight unoriginal movies, but it would be no real change over the current state of things.
If Cuba were a democracy then sure. But it's not. So it's authoritarian vs. authoritarian. No matter what you do, you're helping an authoritarian asshole.
"Late stage capitalism" is not a call to action, it's a call to apathy. It's used by monetized "socialist" influencers to give a permission structure for people to continue buying from their merch stores.
The logic is the failure of capitalism is inevitable so you don't need to do anything. So you may as well buy some swag to signal to others that "you get it". It's the slogan of those that want to fall in line with the "socialist" aesthetic, without thinking about how socialism is just another thing packaged and sold in a capitalist system.
Instead of talking about the horrible things the fascists in power are doing, Americans across the board sit around complaining about the media and the Democrats. It's not just that there's fascists in power, USA has become a fascist society. There are the fascists that directly support Trump and a whole bunch of useful idiots that spend all day attacking any opposition to Trump while pretending to be against him.
You aren't going to stop fascism by spending all of your time complaining about the media and complaining about the already decimated political opposition to Trump. That's exactly what the fascists want you to be doing. It's getting more and more difficult to tell the difference between MAGAs and Americans that are supposedly against Trump because y'all are complaining about the exact same things.
If you've been indoctrinated by fascist American culture you probably think it's completely normal to constantly attack the free press at every opportunity.
I see articles about Iran on the the front pages of NYTimes, CNN, and even CBS News. Some have multiple articles and have Iran in their ticker.
This presswatchers.org site has one article about Iran on their front page. The article linked doesn't do any actual journalism, and summarzes the work actual journalists have done.
Trump has been asked questions on Iran, but not by anyone at "presswatchers.org" which appears to be the personal blog of some guy called Dan Froomkin who doesn't appear to be doing any actual journalism. He just sits around complaining about the news being too fact based and not having enough opinion in it.
Neither because I'm not a fascist. Nor am I an idiot that thinks of countries like sports teams to root for or against. Unlike most of the people in these Israel threads.
The Democrats are the minority party. They have little power to do anything other than write strongly worded letters.
The constant attacks on the political opposition to fascism is something the fascists want.
Really how are the Democrats any different from the Liberal Party of Canada? They're both equally lame, both have problems with corruption, both have sleazeballs in them. The Democrats are a political party, it's weird people think they're going to put on a bandolier and a beret and become guerilla resistance fighters or whatever they're imagining things will be like.
But Americans are narcissists that believe themselves to be exceptional so they think the Democrats being kinda lame dorks is different from parties in other countries.
The problem is when Americans were given a choice between a fascist and a pretty normal political party, 2/3 of them either voted for the fascists or just didn't bother to vote at all. The American people just didn't care enough about democracy. It's likely too late to be expecting the democrats to fix things because they can't... not enough Americans voted for them.
Americans are narcissists and they'll blame anyone other than themselves for everything. Which is why they attack the Democrats instead of doing the obvious thing and attack the GOP and organize resistance to them. But that might include voting for the political opposition which would mean voting democrat which might be admitting they were wrong for not voting for them in the last election. And a narcissist can never admit they're wrong.
So the current state of things is Americans are blaming the party that's not in power for not stopping the party that is in power because their narcissism prevents them from admitting they made a mistake. Will Americans get over their narcissism before the next election and vote for the opposition because their government sucks? That's what would happen in a nromal country, but they're obsessed with being exceptional. Will there even be an election? Or will they somehow find a way to blame democrats for Trump cancelling elections, ending any kind of opposition to his power and completing their journey to becoming a full ledged fascist country?
Yeah, it seems to me Americans are a bunch of selfish narcissists ruled over by a selfish narcissist. Even those that claim to be against Trump are too obsessed with their self image to even vote for the politcal opposition, let alone do anything more significant to resist fascism.
They don't really need to make or sell products, they just need to create the appearance of selling products to attract investment from billionaires. They've got all the money, why would they care about the small pittance of money everyone else has?
I think Israel is a country of millions of people, some of those people are terrible, but many are good people. It's disturbing to me that people can so easily think that millions of people are evil.
It's very fascistic to consider entire countries as "good" or "evil". There's many indications that post-Trump fascism will be anti-Semitic and very anti-Israel. How many people you see here in this thread do you suppose will jump on board an anti-Israel fascist movement? Will you jump on board?
Everyday I go on here and see people attacking the politcal opposition to the fascists, people creating distrust in the free press, and pushing for violence.
If you had any kind of education in politics, you'd understand who it is that's creating the kind of atmosphere fascism thrives in.
Cognitive dissonance is when you spend all day attacking the exact same things the fascists attack and you think you're not working for them.
