No, I would not. You can go to India and see them profile people based on their surname and neighborhood of birth, right now. Brahmans bitch about reverse casteism the same way Republicans bitch about reverse racism. In China, Han supremacy has them doing a genocide, right now. You could turn back the clock and look at old timey racism, which is a fundamentally different beast from modern racism as it cared about cultural mores and birthplace, skin color being tertiary. As the Romans famously put it, “you’re either a Roman or you’re a barbarian.”

All of this misses the point I had made. White supremacy is an international political and cultural system that enables and encourages assholes. That’s not always how it’s been, it’s not the only system in the world, but right here right now, it sets them and anyone who abides the system that empowers them apart for scrutiny.

This is ABSOLUTELY correct but only half the equation. Assholes come from everywhere, but white male assholes from the colonial era engineered a system that pegs your ability to ACT on that horridness to your proximity to their racial and gender group. And the assholes in successive generations of said white men have made it their lives’ work to maintain those lines and stay powerful.

Everyone has the capacity to be horrible, it’s just that this specific group set up extensive infrastructure for it.

“I know how to remedy this!” joins gestapo

Nope, third time’s a bricking.

The reason ACAB is justifiable is that policing, at least in a modern capitalist society, is so fundamentally broken that to even join the force you have to make a serious moral compromise. You can claim you’re fixing it from the inside, you can try to keep to yourself, but no matter what you do, by the act of signing that initial contract of employment you’re participating in and materially supporting the violence arm of your local elites.

I’m sure you’ll see the light by then.

Oftentimes, devs are practically the only person who can. Especially small hobbyist devs. They’ll spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours playing their own game as they build it and forget they have to then circle back and tune it for people who haven’t.

And that’s the question they bottlenecks the whole discussion. Have fun in “Europe” and we can come back to this topic when you can actually describe a European country.

Your lack of knowledge about your home country

If you’re not gonna take him seriously, why should I take you seriously? Your response was literally “nah bs” without any supporting evidence. We have entered clown land. Do better or I will tell you that you smell bad, too.

The funny thing is that between the fact that you’re not particularly attached to your supposed home country like every other European I’ve met and the issue of you not wanting to produce any specifics about any given European country, I’m pretty sure you’re not actually from Europe. Which means it’s reasonable to assume you’re making shit up to fit a narrative.

Which means I can safely assume you’re wrong by default until you can produce some sort of evidence other than “trust me bro I was there”.

Fabulous country

Which country

Bro is losing the ability to form coherent sentences. I think whatever he took finally hit.

Realistically, yeah.

Putin has always been a dictator, but he hasn’t always been a fascist. He started his career as a moderate technocrat that happened to have incredible access to KGB resources. Very handy if you’re in the market to be forever president. As time went on he’s been mixing and remixing his stances and aims.

As far as NK, I’m not sure they’ve ever been fascist. They’re just a vanilla authoritarian police state.

A major component you can use to point out fascism specifically out of the rogues gallery of evil ideologies is the notion that a fascist government specifically derives its power from endlessly designating and promising to destroy out-groups. If it lasts long enough to run out of targets, it goes on to consume itself.

So were you just born stupid or did you take something to perform at this level?

Yeah, it produces a couple of salient points about AI and mental health, but then it feels the need bookend them with these lurid tales of sudden madness. Honestly when you have dudes leaving their wives and kids for chat bots out in the real world, you really don’t need to spin yarns of deific delusions. Or at least you should back them up with a source.

This is exactly what happened to be. I tried Mastodon for a bit but it was kinda boring? So now I’m here.

Hard agree, they are the powerhouse of the cell after all. But also teaching kids how to do things like cook, handle money, and participate in their local government would be more universally applicable.
