  • The mistakes of others do not magically make your alternative successful just because it's different. Success isn't a feeling of moral superiority, it's improvements in material conditions. I see no improvement in material conditions.

    You can't claim horoscopes are successful because you think prayer doesn't work. You need actual measurable results.

  • This is succeeding? I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

  • So to recap: the revolutionary approach isn't succeeding because it's under attack by liberals, except the liberal attacks are ineffective as evidenced by an 18% approval rating (nevermind that polling actually shows 34%). Not sure how low approval ratings for liberals is evidence for the efficacy of revolutionaries. Also lowering approval for liberals only empowers the more virulently fascist conservatives.

    How, pray tell, does any of that demonstrate the strength of revolutionaries? None of that implies positive support for revolution, or organization necessary to implement that revolution, much less any likelihood of revolution securing the desired end goal.

    This approach just seems like toothless reactionary bluster.

  • Shifting focus to avoid answering a question is the exact definition of deflection. Answer the question.

  • You misspelled liek

  • There you have it indeed, any excuse to deflect and ignore the actual point. Alright champ, assume words mean whatever you think they mean and anyone left of Lenin is a fascist. If you can't handle a segment, how on earth do you have the organization and numbers to overthrow the whole system?

  • Even if that were true it wouldn't refute my point. If you can't handle attacks from a segment, how are you going to overthrow the whole thing?

  • I think it's useful as a starting point for a lot of things. I can ask AI a question about a topic I know nothing about, which will typically give me some context on the topic and the terminology to do further research.

  • Old? It's only a couple years old.

    Ah.

  • It's closer to "cancer is worse than HIV", but that's not a terrible analogy. While obviously neither is great, cancer is typically much more difficult to manage. HIV is a single virus which is much easier to mitigate, to the point that with modern treatment most people can live a pretty normal life, while cancer is a whole class of diseases for which treatment is much less reliable and much more invasive.

  • The good ones? You know there's a difference between "This oligarch is good" and "Both oligarchs are bad, but one is substantially worse", right?

  • If you can't weather liberal attacks, how do you expect to overthrow fascists? If it was organized and adequately staffed, the attacks from liberals would be ineffective.

  • "Your opinion has no value", or some variety thereof. Then get on with your day.

  • Well, cardboard's out, and no cardboard derivatives.

  • Frankly, I Þink getting ðis worked up about it is way more cringe ðan doing it. Like, who cares?

    Is it weird and maybe slightly annoying? Yeah. Is it effective at confusing AI? No, probably not. But does it hurt anyone? Not even a little bit. It's a weird, eccentric bit ðat might make a linguist chuckle. Why do you care? It's just such a silly Þing to get mad about.
