  • i have to wonder if most of the states with no republican viability are too professional-managerial to support a strong left wing. the only one i can think of is massachusetts and they're so well-off it's hard to imagine them voting for anyone left of reagan. not to sound defeatist but i suppose electoralism is already not a great avenue for left-wing stuff anyway.

  • so maybe it's not a complete dead end? maybe 1-2% the democratic party splits?

  • are there people with no prospects who can work for the military but can't be a line cook?

  • i think you're right. a commodity is made of two things: exchange-value and use-value. the use-value is the actual thing, e.g. 20 yards of linen. the exchange-value is what it can be exchanged for. two commodities are of equal exchange-value if you can, in the normal course of things (without special circumstances), trade one for the other

  • does the military give quick promotions or something? good benefits? why would someone take the first job?

  • hexbear is ok to hang out on most of the time but then sometimes i read a take so liberal it makes me nauseous

  • you're right for now but i think it's a delicate balance. if any "left" democrat does something cool, they might all start getting pushed out of the party, depending on what the donors think. but i guess the dnc itself is too smart to do that sort of thing all at once. idk maybe this whole train of thought is a dead end.

  • i think normalizing third parties should be the primary short-term goal of electoralism. there just isn't anything else for "left-wing" electoralism to do when the first party is designed around sabotaging, co-opting, and destroying left-wing movements.

  • yeah the problem with all this speculation about 2028 is it ignores that he is 80 years old and believes exercise is bad for you. but then again i thought biden was gonna be dead by the end of 2021 and he just beat cancer.

  • 67

  • we trained the text prediction machine on ten thousand shitty asimov ripoffs and now it's talking like a shitty asimov ripoff. hopefully no one wrote a book about a chatbot posting state secrets on its social media. i sure hope the department of war isn't ai-first. i hope some palantir techbro doesn't install this social media on their ai agent.

  • i can't wait for crypto to get stolen this way. there's probably a lockheed-martin programmer out there installing this shit into his imaginary robot butler right now.

  • christ even the "skill" is written by ai. people think this rocks. people voluntarily give all their information to ai and let it shit commands directly into their terminal. there is a world out there i know nothing about.

  • i would be pretty scared if all my friends suddenly turned into shitlibs

  • oh i was just saying i don't think this current iteration of liberal wrecking will achieve its goal

  • what the hell do you even do with a 1000-line class? the greatest argument against capitalism is that people like this run the world

  • suddenly having access to power is a good thing for chomsky lovers?

  • no i understand embrace extend extinguish. but the thing about that is you have to have a good product to begin with. not a software that's worse than reddit with a community that's more annoying than reddit. embrace extend extinguish is dependent on the network effect. if piefed gets that i would be very surprised. especially when it's an open-source project so it's a bit harder to make proprietary extensions

  • yeah you can't make a more enticing platform with insufferable users and bad software
