Not gonna lie, “Treaty of Verseye” sent me.

“quiet piggy” is unacceptable, but the country was totally chill with “grab her by the pussy,” or mocking a disabled reporter.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad America seems to be waking up, but c’mon. If this bothers you, but the previous incidents didn’t, maybe you should be re-evaluating your opinions.

So, they’ve been doctored and/or redacted to the point of not saying anything. There’s no way this sudden, absurd 180 isn’t a direct result of some degree of ratfucking.

His post titled “The Jews have colonized Gaza” is honestly among his best hits.

Imagine seeing the sitting fucking president of the United States being linked to these acts of child trafficking and pedophilia and being like “what about all these irrelevent, old politicians who don’t have power and aren’t actively making relevant decisions about US policy?”

They should get theirs, but this might be the most disgusting whataboutism I’ve ever seen.

They entrench themselves into capitalism so deeply because it allows them to do exactly that. Wealth is virtue, because the invisible hand gives those who contribute more, and those who don’t less. Please ignore all the systems that ensure the wealthy stay wealthy while the poor have no way in; you’d have to be “woke” to believe those systems exist.

“Trump blew Clinton” led to it talking about how he “blew Clinton away at the polls in 2016.” Every additional layer of specifity leads to another slight diversion. Adding “Bill Clinton” caused it to recognize that this is in the news right now, but it’s definitely not true because Bubba isn’t Bill Clinton. Telling it that Bubba is Bill’s known nickname caused it to agree that this is true, but Epstein said that “Bubba doesn’t refer to Bill Clinton.” (Epstein is commenting on these emails post-mortem? Maybe I missed something here.) Telling it that Epstein is a known pedophile sex trafficker with ties to these men and reason to lie caused it to admit that Epstein isn’t a reliable source for this, and it tried to dismiss the validity of the emails altogether as “contextually untrustworthy.” I then told it that a known pedophile discussing his practices in a believed to be private email thread is a reasonable context to consider the validity of his statements, but it was tired of me, and went “here are some more links on the subject. Any additional messages with start a new conversation.” This could normal after being 5-6 messages deep with this AI; I had literally never used it before to know, but it felt weird to me.

It is weirdly defensive about the possibility that this had taken place, actively omitting details to bias weird takes.

For extra fun, try posing the statement to Google’s AI mode and watch it try to pretend this isn’t in the news right now, and then make up lies to protect Trump, until it realizes it can’t a suddenly kills the conversation.

I’m not convinced it is obviously a joke. It would explain a LOT.

This is why many communities enforce the post title being the same as the article title. The title provided is incredibly misleading, whereas the actual article title is not.

I too like to criticize the results of unchecked Capitalism using the tools created by unchecked capitalism as it continues to suck resources meant for living creatures.

“All brown people are terrorists” is probably not the take to pull voters from Mamdani. The racists already weren’t voting for him.

I just want them gone. I don’t care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.

I won’t wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.

At this point, I’m shocked that they can admit they’ve been caught. I would normally expect blatant, in-your-face lies the way a toddler lies about eating a chocolate bar while their face is caked with it.

I’m with you. The school system is designed to keep voters stupid and uneducated when it comes to civil matters. But at some point, you can’t use it as an excuse. Yes, the system was against them, and miseducated them to this purpose, but they’re still making the decision. You can’t just handwaive away 100% of responsibility for the decisions people make as being a result of being victims of circumstance, because then there’s no such thing as a human being being responsible for their decisions.

I feel like this argument would have held ground in 2016. After the first time around - after Jan 6th - everyone knew exactly what they were voting for.

I can’t wait to see what the throne looks like.

The same way the uncentralized conglomorate of people dedicated to standing against fascism is a “terrorist organization.”

Makes me think of “the hacker known as 4chan.”

Liberals: Fuck all. We can’t be sure employees don’t want this too. Besides, someone will sort it out soon, they always do.

Leftists: I’ll donate a union $5 so I can tell my friends I’m left.

The most real understanding of our political world tbh.

You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero.

…wait a second.

God, this timeline is fucking weird.

This is the intended dichotomy, yes. My point was that it is not understood correctly by a majority of people, and a systems intent doesn’t matter if it’s used differently.

And my original point was that, even in a king less eliteless system, with power flowing from the bottom, the system is still susceptible to corruption via authoritarianism. The beliefs that lead to this just come from a position of “what’s best for all happens to be painful for the few.” At some extremes, these beliefs can be used to justify oppression as equally as a merit-based, right wing authoritarian system.
