@ka_binunkreativ Fühlt sich schon an als ob es nen anderen Ref-Standard gibt für die. Es gibt nen Romero Supercut mit mindestens 4 garantiert gelbwürdigen Fouls (0 gegeben), währenddessen kriegt Arg Freistöße am 16er weil sie angehaucht werden

makes sense that Brazilians are blaming the rise in pentecostalism for their world cup crash out. the only non-catholic country to ever win it was England in 1966 and god has been punishing that pathetic little island ever since

The United States of America were founded by wealthy slave owners and arch-Stuart reactionaries who rejected their monarch because he couldn’t prevent Parliament from taxing their colony, whose violent settler peasantry just wanted to continue murderously expanding their frontier.

They were one of the last countries to abolish slavery and didn’t become a formal democracy until the 1960s. Their advantage of being a freer and more open society was short-lived and their attempt to build anything resembling a social state crumbled. Instead of a society of mass affluence, they ended up with a barbaric carceral system of historically unprecedented proportions, a top-heavy rapaciously extractive economy, a state thoroughly captured by oligarchic interests.

The last decades have been marked by America’s centrality to nearly every damaging social, cultural and ideological trend. It continues to export its accelerating domestic psychoses to the world. It has become the ultimate destabilising hegemon, blundering around like dying ogre, ever swelling a mountain of rotting corpses.

American isn’t the cause of all ill in the world, but the increasingly nihilistic, zero-sum social culture of contemporary capitalism, that has ramified into every corner of society, is fundamentally American, and the umbilical chord is very much still attached. There is no Post-American world—but with a little luck there will be one day.

Happy 4th of July

Rappers glorifying lean is so fucked

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.

We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.

We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.

@zagrljajin42535 Ich liebs das man in der BRD mit der Gleichsetzung von NS und DDR als "Unrechtsstaaten" massenhaft Preise gewinnen kann, als ob das nicht die fetteste Holocaustverharmlosung wär (die man der Palästina-Bewegung aber gleichzeitig immer zuordnet)

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

A few years ago, European courts started denying Russian men asylum, chipping at the right to conscientious objection. Now, EU members are pushing to deny Ukrainian men protection from being forced to fight. The groundwork is being laid to send EU citizens into the slaughter.

@richten_nach Ai =/ Ai. Deepmind health was specifically designing models for its tasks (e.g. protein folding), copil*t is just a mass hallucinating llm slop machine which should not be let close to sectors like healthcare
