"The Boomer's biggest weakness isn't his stupidity, not that he's out of shape. His big weakness is that he has no idea where his wealth comes from." 1/2
I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran and a Hindu American. I didn’t put on that uniform, leave my family, and go to war so some third-rate talk show guy could announce that when his side “wins,” they’re coming for my religion.
I served with Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and other Hindus. Nobody pulled rank on God before we went outside the wire. Some of those men never came home. None of them died so you could fantasize about ravaging someone else’s faith. The people who worship in those temples pay taxes, run businesses, and send their sons and daughters into the same Army I served in. “When we win, we are tearing this down” is not patriotism. It is a threat against Hinduism itself to vandalize another American community’s house of worship because you hate the faith inside it.
If winning in America means demolishing Hindu temples, you don’t want the country I fought for. You just want a license to go after people who aren’t you. America is not your theocracy. Religious liberty does not expire for Hindus when you decide you’ve won. You don’t get to tear anything down. Not legally. Not morally. Not in the country for which I actually sacrificed.

215 years ago, Mexicans fought an empire that demanded our land and our labor. And we won.
I'll carry that fight with me to Congress as New York's first Mexican American representative.
And I'm strengthened not just by Mexico's history but its present. Last month I met comrades in Morena who are standing up to the empires and corporations that have always taken from us – and building a government for the working class.
¡Viva la Independencia, Viva México!
My most derranged belief is that there is some insidious group that is using social media to make men and women hate each other in order to weaken Western nations.
Either that, or that's just the natural consequence of algorithms that optimise for engagement. But the effect is the same.
You're primed to think this is an AI problem because the post mentions AI. It isn't. The kids do not care about anything happening here. You can only ask someone "how do I know what's interesting" if you're so dissociated from what's going on that you feel less than nothing

The era of freeriding on prosperity to mask the erosion of high culture is over. You have to do the work of rebuilding what was lost, one step at a time. First, you network with other sensible people where you are.
