If all of those 40k moroccans wanted to and could and did enter the schengen area, this wouldn't matter one bit or be felt at all in a *half a billion* strong european community. This was just a coordinated media attack on spain for that one obvious reason that's irrelevant to migration.

“If one of us dies, I’m moving to Paris” This is a joke that Freud used. We are aware of the reality of death, but this knowledge does not change the fact that we actually behave as if it were otherwise. That is how disavowal works. And that is what this thread will be about! 🧵⬇️

Hard agree with rimidar on this. In fact, nothing has discredited wistful conservativism more to me than seeing people start to do it about times I lived through. Yeah the n64 was pretty dope when I was 10 years old, I guess; don't really think that should drive our immigration policy tho you loser.

Hurry to say No, before the new repression convinces you that saying no is pointless, mad, and that you should accept the hospitality of the mental asylum.

Hurry to attack capital before a new ideology makes it sacred to you.

Hurry to refuse work before some new sophist tells you yet again that 'work makes you free'.

Hurry to play. Hurry to arm yourself

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"
Keir Starmer: I've already returned over 24,000 people with no right to be here. And I won't stop there.

twitter user: @grok Is this post misleading?

Grok: The claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.  Some evidence, like reports of farm attacks and political rhetoric, suggests violence against white farmers...a user asks Grok to translate Chinese text on a photo, and it responds with a translation of "Kill the Boer" into Urdua user asks if something shown in a video is an effective way to clear sinuses, and Grok says the query is unrelated to "the provided analysis on white genocide in South Africa"

1. As almost every research shows, young men have NOT turned to the right — compared to older men. In fact, they moved slightly to the left compared to older men. Young WOMEN have turned to the left compared to older women. Recent graph on Trump approval provides good example.

You know, AI is kind of the ultimate calcification of tradition. Thinking is too hard, developing your own perspective and consciousness is not something that's really tested for or graded, so aggregate all the existing writing on a topic and tweak it a bit. Regurgitate, recycle, retrench, reify.

What's interesting (and unsurprising) is that there is more than one QT from a trans man complaining that this is why trans women are evil for not doing unlimited care work for them and imo therein lies the rub: "women, we men are broken and sad so you have to fix us for us because you're not".

I think this underscores the issue with the entire premise of making everyone get a degree just to do well in life: most people are not scholars. Not even wannabe scholars. They do not and have never seen a degree as more than a paper for a bigger paycheque and you can’t make them.
