You can steer where donations go with regulations. I don't see any downsides of warm coats to homeless shelters for example.

Note that you didn't answer my question about California and New York. Did they "commit suicide?" as a country means nothing. countries are just bureaucratic units, just like states are.

Why would it be suicide? Do you consider California or New York "dead" because they became part of the US? I might also point out you didn't address how you would solve for the much more urgent Russian threat.

I welcome you to suggest an alternative. Just saying there is one is not enough. How do you envision, idk, Lithuania surviving between Russia and the US? (I would also invite you to look up the meaning of the term oxymoron, because I do not

The same can be said for the EU and the US - what do they have in common in the areas you mentioned?

It pushes your former friend to align closer with China, making it a geopolitical own goal...

Sure, the EU has crafted a campaign where JD Vance comes to Munich and tells us the US is abandoning us. How perfidious of them! Enlisting the US executive in their evil plans! The conspiratorial thinking on display here is unreal.

The problem is, once you use a stick, they might become self-reliant, but they might not want to be your friends anymore.

It's not the best explanation of the actual socioeconomic theory though, it was written more as a political ad, if you will. If you're more interested in the actual theory, I'd recommend Foundations of the Critique of Politi

There's two core Marxist concepts that precisely describe what you're feeling: Tendency of the rate of profit to fall [0] and worker alienation [1]. As AI automates more, the "value" of a single line of code drops. T

"Copyright law is outdated and not fit for AI! What do you mean, piracy? It learns just like a human does! Why do you hate progress?" Not so fun when the shoe's on the other foot, is it?

If you're asking me? Workers revolution and a complete systems change, towards something that aligns incentives with the good of humanity, not of a money-grubbing few. I have a feeling most folks here will disagree though.

Yup, it's the tragedy of the system we have set up. There's a potentially civilization-ending disasters looming over us (the climate crisis, increasing escalation between the major powers, rising risk of insurrection due to misman

Personally, I think it's better to normalize and point out there are a lot of valid points made. But I suppose change needs both strategies.

And you can get Strix Halo in a Laptop that looks and feels like a Macbook Pro that can run Linux if you buy an HP ZBook G1A. Super happy with that thing, only real downside is battery life.
