well yes, I was arguing what HazardousBanjo said. I an on voyager. My initial comment to their parent comment is below yours but not in reply to you.

because advocating against the current DNC establishment is a necessary step to take to stopping the rachet and pinion mechanism. As long as people like chuck schumer exist in the party you can’t be serious about change while advocating to “vote blue no matter who”

I suppose this is a convenient go to to keep the status quo for people who speak about doing good things but don’t want to rock the boat. When change through peaceful means becomes impossible then non-peaceful events start to take place, and there won’t be any order compared to planned and coordinated transition awwy from the awful systems in place. Would you like to live through that instead?
Also some random dude running a bodega is not an oligarchy but nobody said it was. Oligarchies exist and their destruction is necessary for actually competitive free markets so the random dude with a bodega is not driven out of business in the first place.

we used to do that fine before the conception of the word “corporation”

Why would you argue that we should stop doing our duties once we have cast our ballot and the candidate we support won?
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
but be very careful of labelling people puritanical. Everybody draws lines that when crossed make the other person untrustworthy. This should be encouraged for a healthy democracy.

Notice how the proletariat tends to win when we don’t engage in puritanical politics based off of red fascism.
I disagree. This just comes off as a half-truth. Mamdani actually is far and away the most pure candiate apart from Bernie Sanders in the whole of US politics.
what according to you is “puritanical politics based off of red facism”?
The people want inclusivity, better welfare for the working class people, better overall healthcare, debt-burden free education and we don’t want a government that’s corporate leaning, takes money from foreign interests, arrests citizens for no explainable reason, fucks up the planet for the profits of a few. We don’t want governments that support genocide, slavery or other atrocities at home or abroad.
Which part of this is “red facism”?
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 2 weeks ago:
no… trying to live forever is capitalist. It’s in tune with injecting oneself with the plasma of youth, obssessing over telomeres and likewise being unwilling to let go of their insatiable life of greed

even aging is capitalist bullshit

- Comment on F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email 4 weeks ago:
that’s quite dishonest because LLMs have had all manner of facts pre-trained on it with datacenters all over the world catering to it. If you think it can learn in the real world without many many iterations and it still needs pushing and proding on simple tasks that humans perform then I am not convinced.
It’s like saying a chess playing computer program like stockfish is a good indicator of intelligence because it knows to play chess but you forgot that the human chess players’ expertise was used to train it and understand what makes a good chess program.

“embodies the elegance of simplicity”
corporate speak that doesn’t mean anything. Also If you are talking to the creator of a programming language they already know that. That was the goal of the language.

- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 5 weeks ago:
Billionaires don’t have billions in their bank accounts. That’s not how wealth works.
This is a strawman argument used by dishonest business types who think everybody else is dumb about how wealth works. Nobody is saying billionaires have billions in their bank accounts.
The vast majority of it is tied to property and businesses
Right you are on the same page as the rest of the people arguing against the existence of billionaires.
The number of properties held by a person should be limited to one. Ideally having a clause saying that it has to be on rent for a regulated price. And individuals cannot own a majority of business unless it’s a one man job. I would like the world to head towards worker owned cooperatives instead of 0.01% hoarding 90% of the wealth.
Thinking that just because one could comfortably retire that they should is kind of like telling a runner to stop running after having completed their first marathon. They’re a runner - runners run.
So the entire neo-liberal thesis is that we should reward psychopaths. That’s kind of a non-starter for sustainable living.
A person who became a billionaire views making money the same way. It’s what they do. It’s what they’re good at and derive meaning from.
I can’t begin to tell you the enormous amount of problems with this statement with regards to somebody’s mental health. You can’t be a billionaire without causing suffering to other people. Without leaving somebody else with the short end of the stick. Kindness is alien to people who think this is okay and should be encouraged. This level of worship of money is quite deviant because civilization evolved and thrives on cooperation, not on some misconstrued notion that a single person can derive so much “value” such that they can demand 99% or more of wealth.>

believe what? That he was convicted or that sexual exploitation continues because of the power difference between the perpetrator and the victim and hence they may not find courage to step forward for fear of backlash from ignorant people?

Epstein was a well connected powerful man. Nobody would believe them. Heck, You still refuse to believe her even after epstein was killed in his prison cell where he was put after being convicted of being a sex trafficker alongside glislaine maxwell.

I didn’t get that vibe from the parent comment. the reaction was to the motivations of the rich fatcats who aren’t happy with the obscene wealth they already have. Not American Exceptionalism.

This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.
