I do have to point out that there are many who are not, and have not benefitted from this, and that those protections and benefit haven't been a natural outcome of our system, but of generations of (largely but not entirely non-violent) mass struggle. I think of Malcom's knife metaphor here

yeah 45% of people making under 25k (and not even people - *households*) doing well/living comfortably seems...idk, I'm trying not to jump to a "the data is broken/tainted" conclusion but I also do not understand how that number could be so high even with caveats

demand is rising but right now 95% of compute is sitting idle, and this is only going to get worse as models get more efficient, and that's assuming companies *don't* give up on the AGI dream and pour infinite resources into training (compute heavy) vs better harnessing/RLHF (compute light)

Even if I grant that, say, a McCain or a Romney is virtuous, their very virtue makes them unfit for purpose, because they will pick their virtue over hierarchy.

this was always the only coherent liberal position (and it just so happens that this is the position of the vast majority of actual, living, breathing liberals)

got instablocked by this person because i told her to join her real political party, the one that supports rape. the reason I've had a fraught relationship with "The Left", despite my socialist views is because a lot of "leftists" will negatively polarize themselves into Nazis to own the libs

As someone who wants Kamala to run again, this is 100% on point. 2024 could have been, maybe framed as her being a good soldier. 2028 will have no such mitigatory narrative.

So a big part of the v***** stuff is specifically lower quintile wages are better, but it still sucks fucking ass to be in the lower quintile, and middle to upper middle class job creation has ground to a halt, especially in tech, which was one of the few middle class growth industries left

He actually buried the lede that the real, rigorous data basically says the same thing as the payday loan data (namely most people can't handle an emergency expense without...a payday loan)

this is honestly my article in a screenshot, nothing ever matters except Gender and the structural violence needed to uphold it, and fascism is just doing more structural violence, in a more unhinged way

Are they? One thing I wanted to emphasize is that when we look at what the fascist "mythic past" means - it really just means an idealized version of the power structures of the extra-human order

i generally don't use the phrase shitlib but i think this is an instance where that's the only term you can use here. asking "how are we going to deport people" in 2026 is CRAZY ASS WORK
