the distance americans manufacture between their soldiers and the idf is entirely imaginary. occupation produces the same rituals of humiliation, cruelty and domination because that is what occupation requires.
This great video highlights something vital to understand but that is often erased from public discussion: one of the most important things to understand about any legal system is which kinds of dangerous, immoral conduct it chooses to criminalize and which it chooses to protect.
@cheekfaceREAL Not sure if this is a hot take. But I'd add the follow up King James Version is a fantastic follow up. For me their best work. Not a bad album out of em.
Truly, If capitalism rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists.
If it rewarded talent, it would be artists. writers, and creators.
If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers.
But it's none of them.
She did NOT steal the diapers but even if she did IT’S NOT A CAPITAL LEVEL OFFENSE or even a FELONY in most states, the threshold is too low. Trigger happy cops playing judge jury and executioner over $50 diapers?!
We say Black Lives Matter because y’all need to be reminded
cops will kill you, your baby, your pet, your neighbor, your family, your friends. the state will invent reasons why your, and their, annihilation was justified. abolishing police is not enough; the state will never cede their monopoly on violence willingly. wake tf up.
There’s just no metric by which you can argue this. A liberation organization waging armed struggle within the confines of a concentration camp can simply do nothing that is qualitatively worse than the actions of the genocidal colony maintaining the camp itself.
This Michelle Obama moment should teach every straight Black man, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN STANDUP COMEDY, that whenever you let transphobia slide the first cis women who get attacked are Black women. Transphobia leads directly to misogynoir in America & being transphobic = antiBlack
The ruling class seek to end the Information Age. They notice the strong correlation between youth and leftism; they rightly conclude that online access to community knowledge has turned the public against them; and they’ve decided the next generation must simply be brainwashed.
They are literally practicing for the police state fascist takeover of the US, with data centers and huge prison facilities.
WHY would the US military need to practice tactics against OUR OWN CITIZENS in our OWN CITIES
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
