I am high and you are correct.

The people with Trumpgret didn't get there by people telling them they fucked up. These people don't value your opinion so telling them they're wrong is fulfilling your own needs, not anyone else's.

You can address the inaction of voters without making it about blaming individuals with as much power as yourself. But telling people "I told you so" serves a different need.

How exactly does blaming your neighbors create meaningful change? I don't care whether you think it's right or wrong, I am asking how it actually helps improve the system.

That's oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we're blaming the majority of people.

*Won the popular vote but still a minority (<50%) voted for this.

It was a system of checks and balances, but the Democrats went along with consolidating power. So while yes, they aren't the direct cause, they were the adults in the room and they failed in that responsibility.

Every empire's days are numbered, but I don't think I can count that high

Don't even need trials apparently.

How do they expect to reign in AI's "unchecked power and autonomy" when we hardly do that for corporations or billionaires?

My city of Fresno does not have enough beds, so maybe that is true for wealthier cities with lower unhoused rates. The beds offered are sometimes less safe than the street: https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/02/california-homeless-shelters-purgatory/

Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven't been proven

It's important to understand that any argument against improving one's material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.

Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.

Cool, now do public education and public roads.

At this point it can't be worse than what is happening now.

What spending do you think the Republican from Wisconsin is referring to?

That's called "freeze peach" because "free speech" has always been subject to lawful restrictions.

Like the left most thumb on the right hand.

Which is why he hiring doctors to repeat what he says. Problem solved!
