Kinda terrible examples tho…

Sure “Hitler lost”. Cause he killed himself and stuff. But the Nazis won. The US saved most officers and gave them jobs in NATO and the nascent west German government. Then used them to hunt and undermine communists all over the world. The Nazis themselves kinda won. The Cold War was basically a Nazi war, which they won.

The south “lost”. But after they lost the US became the most racially segregated country in the world and became the chief inspiration to the Nazis.

Then the US literally bombed Japan TWICE for no fucking reason other than spooking Stalin.

You have 3 wrong examples, that actually show we are living in the timeline where the Empire won.

I cant read twitter threads I have no account.

But come on, they were a bit shit on Corbyn when the AS bs first started but they’ve been defending him fiercely ever since, up to this day.

And then being friends with Zionists idk, that would be surprising.

And also, George Galloway can f off…. There’s PLENTY to criticise about him.

Now imagine you have 0 knowledge or understanding of anything.

You don’t understand there is a thing called vision. You don’t know about dimensions. You don’t understand that objects exist. That things have shapes, colors perhaps. That there are materials.

You don’t even have eyes per se, or any other sensor. You can’t see.

You don’t understand what thoughts are. What concepts are, nevertheless any concepts themselves.

If I showed you a side-plane picture of a car, directly plugged into your brain, do you think you’d recognize “cars” if we suddenly also gave you eyes and legs and told you walk around downtown?

From the moment you are born you are “trained”. From the moment the first strains of organic molecules closed themselves off from their environment, they’ve been “trained”.

I really like BreakThrough News. Also Novara Media that people have mentioned.

To understand a recumbent bicycle you have to understand bicycles. To understand bicycles you have to understand wheels. You have to understand humans, and human transportation. What IS transportation. What are roads. What is a pedal. What is steering. How physics works for objects in motion. Etc etc etc etc.

You truly underestimate the amount of context and previous knowledge you need to understand even the simplest things.

You know what bicycle are though. And you’re heard of recumbent bikes or things similar to it.

If you had never heard of anything similar at all to bikes, and saw a picture of a recumbent bike from the front only, you’d probably think “ I have no fucking idea what that is”.

Idk man, weird for you to think humans can kinda learn fully about something without all the required context.

What if the human had never seen or heard of anything similar to cars?

I bet it’d be confused as much as the llm.

Today was “compostable” trash collection day, and BOY do the streets smell like SHIT. Like literal, human SHIT 😭

Not them, but Red Headed Stranger is probably one of my favourite concept albums ever.

Zimbabwe is not sovereign monetarily. The US is the most monetarily sovereign country in the world. They can literally print trillions and it doesn’t do anything to inflation. It has happened multiple times already!! Like why would people deny reality?

Your conclusion makes no sense. California can’t afford the policies because states don’t print their money, the federal government does. And California doesn’t get much help from the federal government. So it’s constrained by what it can tax locally.

Those policies would work perfectly and cause no budgetary issues if the federal government paid for them by printing money.

The massive printing of money from 2008 to COVID really not make people realise that? We CAN pay for everything. The government just has to print for the money, and use it for that instead of bailing out the capitalists over and over.

Damn revolution bad? I guess we should just lie down and accept how things are then. Better the death of millions of people, billions very soon, from the system that exists; than thousands from a revolution. You are very wise.

Lenin is great, and Stalin literally saved the world. The USSR was a great success. It was as authoritarian as any western “democracy”. Prove me wrong bozo.

Ah yes, the legendary capitalist freedom to go homeless and die of preventable diseases. And the awful authoritarian communism of providing full employment and eliminating poverty.

If you don’t think the USA is the most authoritarian country ever, your definition of authoritarianism is useless.

I’ll always recommend Blowback. Specially season 3. Death to America.

If prices don’t decrease and wages don’t increase (as a median, not average), inflation “ending” makes no difference.

Who gives a fuck it inflation “is over” if I’m still paying more for the same shit and making the same amount of money?

The last chicken and first proto-chicken wouldn’t be 1 generation apart. The changes are so small that it takes thousands of generations for anything even close to beginning speciation to occur. If we literally did what you said, we would go backwards forever and when we got to something that looked completely unlike a chicken we’d be “shit, we have to go the other way around and check again, all the animals around this one look exactly like it, for thousands of generations”.

Taxes don’t fund spending tho. Taxing billionaires should be about just taking money away from them.

Taxes actually have two purposes, guaranteeing money circulates and is legitimate, and removing money from the economy. That’s it basically. With the caveat that local taxes do fund spending many times, like for school budgets etc.

But all federal spending is completely decoupled from taxes. The government just “prints” the money. They actually digitally credit certain accounts with the money, but it’s the same shit.

Like if the government passes a budget of 1 billion for infrastructure, they will literally just change some numbers in “key strategic accounts”, like big banks, government agencies, ministries etc. That money doesn’t come from anywhere, it’s literally created out of thin air.

And if all that new money is absorbed by productive forces, there is 0 inflation. Only if the money is absorbed by unproductive forces that inflation happens. Like the money just going to rich people’s pockets, there will be inflation. Cause they will just buy more and more assets, without any new assets being created by the “new money”. And well, more demand for the same amount of goods is inflation.

But that line can only ever be imaginary. There was never a proto-chicken that birthed a chicken. All chickens were birthed by chickens, all proto-chickens birthed proto-chickens.

We can make an imaginary line, but if went looking for it we would never find it.

The only people who say “Tin man square never happened lmao” are western liberals saying it ironically, trying to own China. China never said there were no protests or movements. They don’t ban people from talking about it.

But if you repeat CIA propaganda as truth, they will indeed prosecute you.
