    The legal profession won't touch it till it's been 100% proven that hallucinations have been completely eliminated. And when it comes to anything Sam Altmann says. People rarely regret doubting him.

  • Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

    A few things. Communism isn't Marxist leninism. Communism isn't authoritarian. And it's not just Stalin and Mao. It's literally everywhere Marxist leninism has ever been attempted. Communism is a classless stateless society. Therefore a Marxist leninist government will never become communist. Because they are defined by their class separation of those with political power and those without, and the strong overbearing presence of the state.

    There's nothing objectionable to Communism whatsoever. And no one should have any qualms about defending it ever. What we should question is why one group of authoritarians the Marxist leninist desire to be so closely tied to it. And another group of authoritarians the capitalists demand everyone be afraid of it.

    Yes. Because to do otherwise would be fallacious attacking the messenger. Sometimes the shittiest person you know may have a point. Even if its hypocritical.

    That depends on how you define important. If its organization and funding. Then not very as you said. If its helping to foment chaos and division among outside groups you wish to destroy each other. And provide no actual solutions. Invaluable.

    I agree the onus shouldn't lay with the students. By the same token, they need to be aware that there are groups out there that would use them maliciously. Or in this case, through their illegitimacy detract from and weaken their message.

    Fake 'Leftists'
  • Eldritch Eldritch 4d ago 80%

    So have many pounding it now. It's not any more genocide than it was for the last 20 to 40 years. It's definitely kicked up a notch. But always been genocide. Seeing so many on the "left" pop up as single issue voters around it in the last year. Is good but specious. Seeing how many of them claim to want to pull Democrats to their side, but not Republicans. Is suspicious. And those aiming to enable the worst actors because Democrats aren't dropping everything to give them everything they desire. Downright sinister. And not to be enabled or normalized.

    I don't disagree that compromising on genocide etc should ever be an acceptable situation. But it is the situation were sadly in. That so many would claim to want to stop the genocide, while glibly hand waving away any improvement to the conditions. That aren't perfect, complete, or pure in their eyes. It's unconscionable. Childishly screeching at any that disagree with or point out flaws in their claims or views. As blue maga or genocide enablers. Make no mistake that they are nearly as much a roadblock to solutions as those actually championing the genocide.

    Lots of people talk big. Claiming that they have the solution. That it's easy. That they only need to do this one trick. That's how you know they're full of shit.

Be sure to check out their [BandCamp](https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kR7el_4H6yd1tJ4Nd7HUTPZ0ZFhMlhnKY&feature=share). These two have definitely been one of my favorite darkwave duos of recent years. One of those rare groups where I can listen to pretty much their whole discography on loop. Even their sound track for the short-lived show Moonbeam City was excellent. As well as a fun track on the first Deadpool soundtrack.
