Marxist-Leninist but willing to buddy up with Progressives.

Wants Oregon, or any state, to secede from the American Union to preserve rights. Never found a time where America was great.

  • That is a bit oversimplified imo. The Internet is a storehouse of knowledge, lots of books and videos and news articles, lots of archives. AI cannot produce any real, helpful information.

  • They’ve completely thought this through to their conclusion already. We’re the ones who haven’t.

    I think a lot of people are realizing that the richest of humanity is up to some evil shit. A great many people also listened to what these people have said and are incredibly disturbed. You are not alone, I am not alone, and this entire sub is not alone. I think the first steps to take are:

    1. Show how big the anti-elite movement is to the people in it
    2. Make a plan of action

  • The free market is generally pretty good at allocating scarce resources

    I disagree. Heavily. This may be based on my own experiences, but reading about how Capitalism reaches a point of overaccumulation only to collapse, wherein people cannot work, makes sense, and is the reason this year is so gruesome. I have read about how grocery stores will get rid of food simply because they overproduce and then don't have enough to give out. You should do some reading on the Great Depression and unemployment. The simple question of "why can't people work even if they really want to?" has much less to do with government intervention and much more to do with the intrinsic parts of Capitalist production.

    This is quite long so I have provided links.

  • It's complicated, and maybe I wrote too soon. I admit that this exact phenomenon and its discussion are very nebulous. But I see that there is talk about the growing loneliness problem in the United States, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. This is caused by:

    1. People not wanting to raise children in today's world. This is because of wealth inequality, which is the result of overaccumulation from the bourgeoise and weakening of the proletariat. This is explained well in Blackshirts And Reds by Michael Parenti. There is also the problem of climate change that the book also brings up, which also dissuades parents from having kids.
    2. People not having enough money to raise kids. Again, this is because of the weakening of the proletariat. Rights like parental leave, like all other political rights, are not simply bestowed by some higher power, but are the result of a compromise between the owning and working class, where the owning class forfeits some of its power due to massive strikes and protests. This lack of power goes from parents to their kids. TL;DR In the United States, Korea, Japan, and elsewhere, men and women are overworked. And while a small amount of people have a massive amount of money they don't need, the rest of the people can't even afford to have children. This is because of the logic of Capitalism, where money is pursued instead of everything else, and everything is turned into money, which translates into power.

  • Capitalism makes so many things terrible that you just have to go and fight against one of them, even if it's only one part. Of course it's technically Capitalism that made AI so horrible, and altho ideally neural networks are a very cool technology, practically they must be fought against to the hilt.

  • Why do you need images that are so perfect? Why can't you just be fine with doodling?

    The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils." Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.

  • I wish this sub didn’t allow low-effort meme posts because it’s such a brain rot circle-jerk.

    There are plenty of articles that are written out that you can read. AI takes immense energy to operate, for one. It uses a lot of water. Go down and read what journalists have written, and you'll find that there are solid points against AI development that name-calling will not do justice.
