Have you considered that maybe your opinion was wrong? What would it take for the situation in Gaza to be called a genocide and why isn't it already one in your eyes?

So what you're saying is that Palestinians all deserve to die because they gave their support to HAMAS when their neighbor was slowly colonizing their land and expropriating them. Meanwhile, the US should provide Israel with as much we

Yes, and if you poll Israelis about their views of Palestinians, you'll find that the majority want to exterminate them all. What does that say about Israel? Fucking nothing except that we shouldn't be funding either of them. And

Now apply this argument to Saudi Arabia and ask yourself why Iran is on the receiving end of this propaganda and not the former. America gives zero fucks about the oppressed minorities of this world, in fact, it is to blame for a lot of thi

The free market consolidated into this on its own. Some actors became too powerful for it to remain "free".

The original pledge was quite different, and indeed sounds more socialist: > I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Also, did you know children had

Have you opened the second link? It's mind-boggling how anyone can still claim that.

Video games are a huge market, and speed and cost of current models are definitely huge barriers to integrating LLMs in video games.

I ain't paying for a propaganda competition with foreign mega-corporations. Just ban them outright, the kids will be alright. Nothing of value is lost by not exposing them to these FOMO-maximizing, brain-rotting, billionaire-owned prop

Far from "harming my cause", vindictiveness wins elections. Weakness toward the fascist idiots currently tearing this world appart only made them stronger, and worsened the situation. I have empathy for those wronged by our messed

Empathy is deserved. I have none for the lunatics that defended the recent ICE murders or still try to deny Trump's pedophila. If these people finally realize how garbage their views are, maybe we could think about forgiveness and empa

Yet he didn't feel the need to hide the plane he received from the Saudis, or the gold bars he got from tech companies. Hell, he even bragged about those. Because there's no one able and willing to stop his naked corruption, he ha

He mostly stole it from his idiotic voter base, so it's a net positive in my book.

Why are you getting so irrationally angry at a word use? You are making a fool of yourself, again .

What else should you call something that is only socially acceptable for a certain group of people to do? I understand word fatigue, but it feels very adequately used here.

I would consider myself well on the left too, and I mostly agree with what you're saying. But I simply reject the premise that anti-immigration policies and the people who support them do anything to help curb the housing crisis or imp

That is completely false. Anti-immigration is the main (if not only...) talking point of every far right political parties accross Europe.

Because it is motivated by racism, and you can't pretend otherwise. This is pure slopulism. https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/1awmq1a/...

Explain how. All the anti-immigration guys I've ever met were right-wingers. And we know the right's position on housing: never do anything that would devalue housing, never anger homeowners, always side with landlords, etc.

Sure, apartments in Paris are overpriced because of immigrants buying them all. Fuck, that is so stupid. The same people parroting this anti-foreigners hate are also completely indifferent to slumlords profiteering on housing, and will supp

You're freeing this administration from any blame. No system of governance can resist a sufficiently powerful authoritarian push. If the Democratic Party is to share part of the blame, it's in the fact that it is completely bought

One step forward, two steps backwards. Anything good the Democrats may do (yes, it happens sometimes, rarely) will immediately get repelled by the death cult that are the Republicans. If for no other reasons that to "own the libs&quo
