As an #ActuallyAntiImperialist, I’d be okay with the US ceding that much territory. Not to anyone in particular; just…give up administering it because they took it by force anyway.
A better example would be the Chinese territories that were captured by the Imperial Japanese for their “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere”, with so-called “Manchukuo” taking up about 10% of China today.

I just made a post/micro-fiction about the ‘cultural compliance cameras’ on the planet of Tylansia in the Orion’s Arm Universe Project (https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4914097cd5aaa). In a stunning example of life imitating art, the cameras that watch you in the bathrooms to ensure you’re using the facilities in compliance with the local culture on this dystopian planet are now somehow being introduced in real life.

Not all of us are cowering and peeking out from behind boxes. Some of us are standing armed and ready, awaiting orders to storm the border like it’s 1814 again. Sorry, but we rather like our healthcare and education, and we like it so much that we think you should get to have some whether your leaders like it or not. #ColonisationProclamation

Understandable. YouTube takes up an impressively large amount of RAM. Hover over the tab at any given moment and I regularly see the RAM usage at over a gigabyte, for some reason, and changing the quality of the video doesn’t seem to do anything.

I don’t want to end the war on Russian terms either. But I also don’t want billions of dollars in weapons thrown willy-nilly into Ukraine with no way of knowing where they’ll end up or what kinds of militant groups may end up using them against us in the future.
That’s what happened during the Soviet-Afghanistan War, and we got 9/11 and the whole War on Terror in return. There has to be a way to stop this without causing blowback. There has to be.

Twenty years ago, it was conservatives and the Iraq War. I’ve always assumed it was an inherent trait of conservatism to be a bloodthirsty warmonger. Now, it turns out liberals are no different.

Don’t misrepresent me. I don’t directly oppose the current course of actions, but…it has not significantly changed the situation since a thousand days ago.
It’s scary to see how many “liberals” are so totalitarian that simply expressing a desire not to *prolong* the war is met with petty insults, death threats, and attempts to silence all dissent.

The supporters of Ukraine want peace? I find that hard to believe with continual arms shipments, windfall profits for arms manufacturers, and exploitation of Ukraine’s labour and natural resources.

You got me; I have nothing left to say to you war maniacs.
What’s been happening in Ukraine (and Israel, and other wars we supposedly peaceful, democratic countries inexplicably support) has made me take a long hard look in the mirror, and I’ve concluded that we are exactly as responsible for the war in Ukraine as Russian disinformation alleges. They’re right—for all the wrong reasons—but they’re still right regardless.

It’s a “dick move” in that it’s unnecessarily excessive. Despite what the wartime propaganda would have you believe, there *are* in fact a lot of far-right Ukrainian nationalists and literal Nazis—but invading the country is hardly a way to get rid of them. Oh, wait, what was that about containment and the Vietnam War?
In fighting ‘to the last drop of Ukrainian blood’, whose blood will we use when once the last drop of blood has been spilt?

2024-11-21 00:17:42 UTC

- reply

By the way, what counts as “bullying”? Oh, I agree that invading Ukraine is a dick move by Russia…but, compared to the United States, it’s a single drop of blood compared to the bucketfuls of blood that repeatedly pour over the heads of nearly every single country in the Global South. Again, not a justification or a defence, but have to face facts: #WeAreTheBaddies.

Can’t we have peace talks? Negotiations? A violent revolution in Russia, Ukraine, and the United States that overthrows their imperialist governments? Nope. I guess that while these are certainly solutions that would benefit the people living in these countries, it certainly wouldn’t benefit the ruling class nor line the pockets of the military-industrial complex.

2024-11-21 00:02:05 UTC

I’m thinking in longer terms than that. What happens if throwing more weapons at the problem results in a forever war that leaves Ukraine utterly devastated and forever dependent on foreign economic aid? That’s actually one of the reasons why Ukraine got into this mess in the first place, but I digress.
Can’t we do better than perpetual war? History says we can, but won’t…and that’s unacceptable.

The ‘liberal position’ of unconditionally supporting Ukraine past the point of reclaiming their territories and invading Russia back actually scares me more than the Russian invasion itself. Western media is scarily competent at whipping up the public into bloodthirsty frenzy, and they manage to do all this without the prompting of their governments.

What kind of tankies would support *either* side of the war?! Most of whom I would call tankies just oppose war, period. And those who aren’t tankies…well, no support for the imperialist proxy war.
I *would* like for Russia to stop the senseless fighting altogether and leave Donbas, Donetsk, and Luhansk, and I do not believe this can be accomplished by throwing more weapons at Ukraine.

Not to harsh everyone’s buzz, but one reason the graphs look this way is because the United States (and, by extension, the entire world) is much, much wealthier than the First Republic of France ever was. The working poor of America are, materially speaking, better off than much of the French nobility; and your average middle income family is better off than King Louis XV.

You paid off your debt early, which meant less interest could be generated, which meant fewer profits for the bank.
To me, that’s absolutely wild, both in that it’s somehow a bad thing to pay off your debts and that credit unions would be so open about their money extraction schemes.

We NATO members/vassal states won’t take this lying down—at least I really hope. We’ve done many costly foreign interventions to spread democracy and freedom at America’s behest for many years now; what kind of allies would we be if we didn’t do the same for America in its hour of need?

Is this how the #Technocalypse starts? Instead of humans trying to pull the plug on AI and AI fights back, AI hurts the feelings of one man, who then tries to pull the plug on AI, and the AI fights back?

There are no “good old days”; only ignorance of just how badly fucked up the world was at the time. 9/11, the SARS pandemic, the War on Terror, the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, the 2008 financial crisis, the H1N1 pandemic, and the normalisation of mass shootings were all things that happened as I grew older.
We were told that this was just a temporary state of affairs and that things would change and improve. We were lied to.

Can’t the US government do anything to stop him? Deny him his security clearance, seize his property and assets, or just refuse to let him do as he pleases? He may be extremely wealthy, but he’s also a private citizen subject to the laws of the state, right?
Right?

Although, that particular idea may not seem so far-fetched given that this has been the fate of the people indigenous to this very country. It’s probably not a coincidence that fears of an inevitable AI takeover and subsequent extermination of humanity sounds a lot like Manifest Destiny.

Whereas, popping on over to the Chinese Internet, people are noticeably more optimistic about a future where everyone works less and everything is automated. Over there, there is hope in the idea that AI has the potential to improve people’s lives. Over here, there is a deep-seated fear of AI replacing and discarding humanity.

2024-10-31 23:32:16 UTC

- reply

Well, I don’t. No, not the ‘decide your future’ part, but the discontent towards capitalism being directed instead towards the technology itself. A lot of people here have shockingly reactionary attitudes about AI and automation, and I think that has less to do with the technology itself and more about the fact that our ruling class will definitely leave us all for dead.

That was one of the things I hated about French. Inexplicable silent letters, weird groupings of vowels, and even weirder grammatical rules. Though I’m certain our French counterparts over in Quebec could say the same for our language.
Also, Russian: words with его (yego) in them are pronounced like ево (yevo), because…*reasons*.

Alternative rule: put those enhanced interview techniques the CIA spent way too much money at the cost of way too many human beings into practice and treat the interview as if it were an interrogation. Think of yourself not as a journalist, but an inquisitor sent by the Powers That Be to extract information from the interviewee, no matter the cost, for a nebulously-defined ‘greater good’—in this case, ‘the preservation of democracy’, whatever that entails.

“Fun” fact: the “do not want” meme and line from Star War: The Third Gathers comes from [我]不要, which literally means “[I] do not want”. Because there’s no single word that means “yes” or “no” in Chinese (like there’s no word for “the” in Russian).
