You’re right, meant to respond elsewhere.

Value extraction is something but it’s not the same as producing value

The purpose of a system is what it does.

If you were paying the real price it would be 2 grand a year though. And in 5 years that 15k graphics card will be $200 and sip on electricity by comparison.

Is that because he says tax the billionaires?

I took my very hetero straight family to church yesterday and we shared a table with a young gay couple for lunch. My gosh it was soo terrible having a nice conversation with them. I could even let my kids go off and play without them being molested by a priest like god intended. /s

The day before we went to the pride parade and there was a guy in the street spewing hate before it started. I went up and asked if he thinks he is saying anything we haven’t heard before and all he really said was “free speech” in defense. I told him your speech is worthless if that’s your defense and walked away. He didn’t hang around after he saw me pointing him out to my kids. They have so much pride in their shame.

And when they talk about how dangerous the cities are:

For instance, some conservative groups are trying to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 ruling that established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. McCranie says some of his clients are wondering, “Where would we be safe as a couple and as a family?”

Yeah. Total mirror image indeed.

Which is why the comparison is based on rate …

I guess google’s announcement of renting xai compute could have been simply for show to boost SpaceX ipo.

I mean the CIA is doing something down there, we don’t know exactly what their plans are but it can’t be good.

The right at least understands that the election is a popularity contest.

Pete is an excellent communicator but the problem isn’t that he is gay, he’s a Mckinsey stooge.

They would raid pensions before asking congress

That’s your choice to make and passing judgment doesn’t seem to have any material consequence. Compare that to a Palestinian, why should they care what kind of asshole we elect to office, when they care about whether that asshole will keep giving money to Isreal? They have different material conditions but I would not disparage their values over that choice. This idea that a choice is universally good or bad regardless of context is used to police our history, not just our voting. It feels very liberal coded.

This. I can understand an American not understanding the history of a symbol, the confederate flag comes to mind, but the eagerness to murder to make sure America is top dog is big red flag.

When exactly did fascism stop in the states? Was it after the Civil War ended slavery but didn’t give blacks the right to vote? Or when we gave them the right to vote but also sent their men to die in Vietnam? Or did it end with the USSR while we supported the genocide in Palestine? Fascism in the states exists on a spectrum and voting is often choosing which direction it will creep towards.

Not knowing history can do that sometimes

I don’t really take stalk in how people vote in a liberal democracy, its built to dismantle class consciousness. Vote however your internal values and material conditions dictates, but please don’t act like voting will save us from fascism.

But also, anyone who isn’t apart of the one true Vanguard is a liberal or a fascist.
