It's also not enough to say the Israel government is committing genocide. The nation of Israel, its laws, its institutions and yes, also its people (according to polling), are supportive of the historical and ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Many groups of people have horrible histories of repression and persecution. We should strive for a universal approach that safeguards any group, not carve out exceptions because then it becomes a matter of material and political access.

Push the party more radical in env. ambitions (esp agri) but become concerned about strategic positioning when it comes to condemning genocidal political movements? How is this a consistent position? Do you dislike the motion or should the green party become a standard EU fig leaved neolib vehicle?

Palestinian people don't need permission of the Jewish diaspora to call the boot on their neck racist and genocidal. Start a campaign to reclaim the term when their ethnic cleansing has ended but why use your platform to decry this motion now

Why we using terms like "lived experience" like that. Why not just use experience. Lived experience has a specific meaning and context specifically related to struggle. You didn't "live through" doing useful things with AI, it's just a thing you experienced.

No one is calling them peaceful protestors. You clearly don't see a need for all the fuss since what they are trying to stop is outside of your empathy radius. You lack moral object permanence and go around calling people who care more than you thugs.

I wonder what moral framework forbids destruction of property to prevent the supply for genocide. Or is it simply that you factor vicinity into how judge violence to an extreme amount?

I haven't watched Avila's latest stuff but I've read some of Mark Fisher's stuff on accelerationism (the guy from capitalist realism) an some parts of it resonate with me and it's definitely very different to the misanthropic, techno versions that are mostly associated with the term now.

Arguments for why some means of material support are sub-optimal are not arguments against material support. Recent shift towards direct giving is showing that there are plenty of charities aware of the things you mention. Charity is a bad solution to a worse problem. We have to stay uncomfortable

Raticalism @raticalism.eurosky.social · 25/05/2025

This stuff gains traction because it let's people who feel uncomfortable being around people in need off the hook. "There's nothing we can do" becomes a self reinforcing mantra, actively discrediting anything that might help (protest, direct action, donating).

I think these must always be studio exec enforced after test screening feedback. No self respecting director would want to include this I think. I guess you could look at these as an accessibility feature? Second-screenability is a scourge for sure though

"it assumed" definitely bad word choice. It drew some relationship between words and I think if you had used laser sight it would have spit out a less ridiculous response

Raticalism @raticalism.eurosky.social · 17/05/2025

The pedantic take is that a laser sight and a gun scope are different things and if you asked it why a gun scope gave you a red dot on your forehead it probably assumed you were holding the gun and had the scope hit you in the forehead due to recoil or something. (Chatbots still stupid of course)

Saddest part is that other forms of testing like oral exams and in-class work groups are a lot better at motivating actual engagement with material but you can't implement a lot of this for highschool or earlier because of chronic lack of funding.

It's just the same cycle as last time. Trump's vulgarity scares the people who consider themselves "decent" and shifts some of the people sleepwalking into outright fascism to instead rejoin the ever rightward shifting center. Out of the fire back into the frying pan?

But are liberals themselves not partly responsible for acquiescing to a broader vision of identity-neutral austerity policies? If we point out misguided Glasman-style social conservatism as a specific issue is that not just fighting symptoms?

And then the article literally says this "But Trump doesn’t do “well-thought-out,” which means his tariffs are a colossal mess, perhaps even the product of quickly produced ChatGPT hallucinations." Maybe in trying to find more quotes you'll accidentally read the whole article

Raticalism @raticalism.eurosky.social · 21/04/2025

Some thin assumptions in the version of the article you made up in your head based on the title? The article is not about guessing why trump actually imposed tarrifs but shows that sections of the working class have demanded tarrifs for decades now, irregardles of who's in office

Handsoff implies that there was a working system that is now being ruined and needs to be protected. Many young people won't accept that what the Dems stood for is something worthy of protection. They recognize things are up in the air now and a unifying coalition cannot be built on "going back"

From an international perspective America becoming better or even "good" is not about doing things differently but first about doing less: taking up less space, leaving, shrinking. After that there's reparations. Any future that doesn't start with that foundation is just more exceptionalism

Bit of a self indulgent "told you so" no? Not everyone who didn't vote dem is bad at calculating the obvious short term harm reduction or an accelerationist. We'll never have the counterfactual so this would've been a true statement even if Trump kept all Biden policy (still a lot of harm)
