There is an episode about robot dogs in Black Mirror…
At this stage, I am willing to go to Mars. There is less chance of techbro oligarchs wanting to destroy the world and killer robot dogs wanting to kill us. Matt Damon has also provided us with a basic manual on how to survive Mars.
I feel like the antivaxxers are more concentrated in the developed north because of privileges; from having better access to healthcare, better economy, and less prevalence of deadlier diseases because of colder climate. So they get treatment more easily if they need one, and don’t see nasty diseases. Meanwhile, the global south tend to believe more in vaccinations because diseases in warmer climate are more common and deadlier.
Different system, same problem.
I’m an old school Keynesian. I’m not opposed to liberal economics per se, but i hate the obsession with austerity and not taxing the wealthy, the latter meaning neoliberals don’t want their donors to be taxed.
Oh sweety, it’s very easy to mince words and say nothing of substance when you’re just spoon feeding. Still waiting for someone spoon feed you on what to say about 9-6 schedule and the fact that China produced more billionaires than US? How is all this still in line with communism?
yawn
All that wall of sophist cut and paste texts, and you basically said exploitation by red fascists is okay in pursuit of profit because of the fact that a) there are billionaires in China, which were produced more than the USA in the past seven years, and b) China has as bad, if not worse, labour rights as other capitalist countries (see 9-6 schedule, why else did the West export manufacturing to China if not for bad working conditions and cheap labour?). All these are antithesis to the fair and equitable society that communism purports to champion.
It never fails when ML loathe capitalism, but doesn’t criticise the red capitalism. What strange doublethink to have (which by the way, this is what Orwell pretty much describes when he coined the term, doublethink, as a tool in authoritarianism).
Labour is no longer the left but neoliberal.
So two state solution?
We’re making fun of conservatives being hypocrites and idiots. Like, how it’s not racist to make fun of MAGA immigrants voting for Trump and then being deported.
His jokes about Germany and being German gets repetitive, but i can’t deny that he still makes me laugh everytime!
AI written works are also so stupid. It feels soulless. Indeed, I think authors could command premium for royalty and copyright because human written literature will be priceless.
This is why I love videogames instead.
The Battlefield series are the only games I played from EA. I stopped after 4.
I think at this stage it’s children who are easily impressionable and using their parent’s credit cards to buy EA games, is the company’s customer base. EA hasn’t produced a good game for a long awhile. Battlefield games had been the only games I played much before 2020, but since then I stopped caring about EA.

Good thing I boycott Starbucks.
For me, being apolitical implies someone is full aware of the political developments, but chooses not to take sides or form well thought views. The people I mentioned are more apathetic, as in they don’t bother at all being updated even with the slightest news.
It’s not even being apolitical. Some people are naturally sensitive and easily feel depressed with negativity, so they avoid the news. Or that they are too preoccupied with their personal lives that they don’t have time to tune in to the news. I’m sure many of you know someone who are out of the loop with even just the most basic current events. I know someone who only heard about the invasion of Ukraine only two days later after it happened.
Violence is only the last resort, but Americans should learn to make DIY weapons in case another civil war breaks out, because it is unlikely that Donald will concede power when the time comes.
