      And you know if he’s arguing against regulation that they’ve got some seriously evil plans in the pipeline to roll out and profit from or extract power/control from. Also all you need to do is look at the favorability rates between the US and China on ai, US citizens really really distrust and don’t look forward do more ai, whereas China already has implemented tons of serious regulation and controls on ai and the polls are sky high for favorability and looking forward to more ai in china.

        Plans? I doubt he’s got any plans. Vague promises, buzzwords, and bribes from techbros? Oh yeah he’s got a boatload of that.

          You’re not paying attention if you think this guy doesn’t always have a plan to profit from the chaos and extortion opportunities once he’s overtly fucked up a system so bad it’s literally killing people.

          Oh no he has plans. As much of an idiot as he can seem, he always has a plan. It’s not a good plan and it’s always self serving, but he has a plan. Nothing leaves that man’s lips that isn’t trying to manipulate and deceive and control things to go the way he wants them to.

          This is something people have to be careful about. He may seem like a bumbling idiot, and for the things people actually care about he is. But his actions have reasons. Usually it’s to deliberately cause issues that benefits him or the people paying him. He’s a narcissist. He’s not just goofing around, he wants to put white people in power, he wants funding for billionaires, he wants the world to bend to him because maybe he will just attack someone unprovoked, he wants people to struggle and be dependent on the most meager lifestyles they can.

          They’re not good plans, and they’re never in the interest of all American people. But if you think he does stuff for “no reason” then you’ve already been tricked. The man wants to hold all the strings and get whatever he wants by whatever means necessary.

      But only ~30% of the population, and those people only after 70 years of education cuts, misinformation, and religious indoctrination…it took the GOP a long time, but they got what they wanted. It’s a real endorsement for perseverance. And amoral greed, I guess.

        You need to add in those that didn’t vote.

        If you don’t vote then you automatically support who is elected.

          They knew he was a possibility and still didn’t bother showing up to prevent his reelection after he had led an insurrection for being voted out the first time.

          At the bare minimum anyone who didn’t show up to vote is complicit.

          what kind of logic is that? of all the inherent faults in representative democracy, the specifics in which it is carried in USA, and you put the blame on the non-voter strawman?

    All the strong and smart people I know are CONSTANTLY reminding everyone how STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) they are.

    They also commonly use the term “Treasonists”.

    I know stuff has been said before, but when the president says basically “we have to do this and we will do it” and “if you dont like it we will brand you a treasonous traitor” for something you have very strong opinions about, its kind of scary.

        We were never not considered hostile, we just had a ton of offsetting soft power. There’s just less of a reason to deal with us now that we cut soft power.

            Person in Canada here! This is true, mainly because of the whole “constantly threatening to invade us, shit-talking the Prime Minister non-stop, starting an idiotic trade war and trying to rename our lakes” thing.

      Yeah it didn’t used to be like this. We allowed a geriatric reality TV personality who rapes children to permanently break our society.

      It’s all just so fucking stupid.

    The first time they are saying something believable:

    we have tremendous criminal and regulatory power over these companies.

    They do wield criminal power frequently, in the pursuit of their own gain

    If you end your messages with “Thank you for your attention to this matter” it makes you look like a real professional business man. If you’re really skilled, add an exclamation mark!
