Trump is 100x worse. Liberals might be in bed with conservatives on 90% of issues, but fascists actually want to use the military against us.
I upset people when I reject the idea that we are voting to save democracy because I believe the US's two party system is an insult to every ideal that democracy stands for, but I am still voting for Harris. Vote to save our country from fascism. Vote to keep your friends and family from being rounded up for supporting Healthcare for all.
Is it truly democracy if your only choice is between far right fascism and slightly less evil far right pro-genocide liberalism?
I hate fascism, but calling our two party system a democracy feels like a lie.
For now. But the whole world consumes US media which is allowing fascism to spread like a malignant cancer
Fellow millennial here and I'd say the common culture of the past that made us feel stupid for not knowing certain famous people is mostly dead. Society is so splintered in what media we consume that even my friends with very similar interests consume different games, movies, books, music, etc.
Elon calls himself "Dark-maga" which is pretty dorky. Dork-Maga is more accurate
"vote for my candidate or you're a traitor"?
More like, vote against the conservative-fascist coalition if you don't want the US destroyed. If you're skeptical, we can open up any history book and read about how the German conservative-fascist ruling coalition of the 1930s turned out.
Technically, if we had true AI, then yes, but the LLMs we have right now are build on an unbelievable amount of poverty wage labor. We're talking sweat shops of Kenyans working for $2 an hour. As long as ChatGPT needs an army of wage slaves to function then I refuse to consider it a real AI
Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?
Profit motive. When maximizing profit margins are the primary object of the economy, then workers are seen as an unfortunate expense. And so capitalists seek to employee as few workers as possible while also paying them as little as possible.
Anyone else think it is super weird how exposing kids to violence is super normalized but parents freak out over nipples?
I feel like if anything should be taboo it should be violence.
Luddites weren't conservatives and they weren't anti technology, they were anti-technology being used to destroy the livelihood of workers rather than being used to improve their lives.
Imagine that AI / robots suddenly made your entire career field obsolete overnight and suddenly you couldn't find a job anywhere. You would be pretty upset, ya? Now imagine being called anti-technology just because you argued that technology should be used to help the workers that are displaced rather than leaving them destitute.
Sorry, but if people aren't free to critique their party funding genocide and aren't free to protest genocide without " helping the enemy", then our system has already fallen to authoritarianism.
Don't get me wrong, I am voting for Harris. But our two party system is a fucking farce. It makes a mockery of every ideal that democracy is supposed to represent. Authority is supposed to be given from the consent of the people. But most Americans agree that our two party system is broken and yet our politicians have made it impossible for us to fix or replace our broken system because they benefit from it. A system forced on us by a minority for their benefit against the will of the majority is the complete opposite of a democracy.
