Are you under the idea to be anti-fascist you have to be in support of Communism? If that's what you think then you're clearly misunderstanding the differences between the 2

Technically all of them Communists. Socialists and Social Democrats all in different places.

You can be against both extremes, that's nothing new

Those who go past resisting police power abuse (aka arson, vandalism, etc) they do deserve to go to jail. Those who peacefully protested or police going over the top that's very different.

I'd argue neoliberalism is what got us to this point. We have to get to the point we undo the damage neoliberalism has caused, once we do that capitalism would work so much better for everyone.

It's not fearmongering, it's correcting people's miscaracterization between the 2. There's a difference between that and red baiting

The people want to move to a Social Democratic system, it's long overdue.

this wouldn't solve the issue. It's a temporary fix that is also done incorrectly lol. Wanna fix it? end the war

Gen Z supports Social Democracy, not Socialism. People don't define Socialism properly on both sides of the spectrum.

neoliberalism capitalism sure, but social democracy no. Americans are in support of Social Democracy, they're just being told that it's Democratic Socialism which is not true. Social Democracy is the future, not Socialism.

a return on investment is implementing AI in a way that would benefit humanity, otherwise I don't think you'll have to be worrying about that investment return.

this is remigration. Immigration reform is needed to ensure obviously keeping limits on immigration and background checks since open borders is a terrible idea. ICE is acting like a paramilitary, that is not acceptable

93% men, other 7% is mostly women with probably below 1% being other. Also this is federal, the statistics would be more accurate for state level, but this is clearly worrying. As a 20 year old guy myself, I want to say that there are good guys out there still! Fuck these terrible men, disgusting!

and for those who are asking while I support the two state solution as it's the only way to provide stability in the region, I am still an anti-zionist.

those who oppose the killing of innocent civilians must oppose both Hamas's attacks of October 7th AND Israel's response of genocide. This is not about which side you're on, this is about morality.

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 9h
those who cannot condemn Hamas's killings of innocent civilians on October 7th are antisemetic. Some (i'd hope the most) of pro-palestinians can say that Hamas is bad. I condemn both Hamas and Israel's response, but that apparently is hard for some to do

This is not to say i don't think we should be slowing down, I obviously support that. I believe AI should be a tool FOR humanity, not against which would mean protecting human jobs as much as possible while adding in the benefits AI will have.

Market Socialism still puts workers in control of the means of production, China does not do this. The better system definition is State Capitalism dressed up in red to make it seem like it's Socialist when it is not.

if it was all local and all your data never left your devices, I wouldn't have a problem with this (digital autonomy ftw). I genuinely have a problem with these tools sending this data to these companies, that's a problem.

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 17h
actually this isn't a bad comparison. Strong background checks etc (or in this case strong regulation on how AI should be used and implemented) would create good results.

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 17h
not "🖕AI" "🖕Sam Altman. AI does and will have many benefits for humanity, but this guy saying we should accept some harms of AI instead of proper implementation is fucking stupid.

what the fuck is wrong with people trying to justify October 7th. I can condemn Israel's genocide and illegal actions while condemning Hamas's killings of innocent Israelis who have nothing to do with the Israeli Governments actions. This is common fucking sense

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 17h
Scary violent people at a music festival!! The great majority of citizens that were killed were peaceful and not involved. I will not debate people who try to justify antisemitism
000
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 17h
as I have said, yes I strongly condemn Israel's actions. Thank you for being honest about your support for Hamas's killing of innocent Israelis, really shows who you are.
100
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 18h
answer the question, do you condemn Hamas's killing of innocent Israelis? yes or no. If you cannot answer then don't bother responding
100
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 18h
you seem to keep deflecting instead of condemning the killings of innocent people. Even if they were not *all* Jews they killed many of them which given Hamas's past isn't out of the ordinary. Now if you can't condemn the killings of innocent people then shut up
100
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 18h
if you support the killing of Jews, you're antisemetic. You fail to condemn Hamas's killings of Jews who had nothing to do with the Israeli Governments actions making you complicit in antisemitism. MANY Anti-Zionists can condemn it

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 18h
Failing to condemn the killing of innocent Israelis is antisemitism, not anti-zionism

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 19h
you can oppose both extremes and still be left-wing, i'm a social democrat. now answer the question do you support Hamas and its killings of innocent Israelis in the October 7th attacks?
110
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 19h
it depends on the Socialist system and which Socialist you talk to. I will say to say Socialism = Government direction is not always true, yes Socialism puts an emphasis on large Government, but Market Socialism for example is decentralized more than anything. A yes or no can't be answered
100
William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 19h
So you support the killing of innocent civilians who have nothing to do with the Israeli Governments actions, thank you for being honest.

William 🇨🇦 @williampolitics.bsky.social · 19h
both have done war crimes against eachother. You can't just condemn Israel for genociding innocent Palestinians without condemning Hamas's mass killings of Israelis

not justified whatsoever. Targetting innocent civilians is not right at all, this goes for both sides fyi.

no it isn't, there is no state in Communism. There hasn't ever been a true Communist country, the ones that have existed used an Authoritarian Socialist system ruled by a Communist Party, the end goal of Communism was never reached.
