@Dropchicken7@banmeagain7@NKY_Leftist@anarchoboognish This isn’t a story book, there is no “power of friendship” or “just believe in yourself” that can overcome the literally genetic code that makes up your body being fucked six ways to Sunday with no cure.
@Dropchicken7@banmeagain7@NKY_Leftist@anarchoboognish Dude even if we lived in a world where people with down syndrome were perfectly accommodated, trisomy 21 can bring on a whole bunch of other genetic conditions. You’re placing a person into the world who is both less capable and more prone to incurable diseases!
@clusterbitch_ I hate the takeaway many have from this is that it’s ok to be a violent scumbag who sexually assaults women as long as said women aren’t one of the other team where they might tattle on you
"Democracy means the majority should always be able to decide exactly what gets produced" basically destroys any chance of pluralism that we have, across every axis. It doesn't allow people with very different values to live together. I sometimes wonder how many people saying this grew up in more conservative small towns like I did.

@PhilWMagness Like unless the bill intends to quite literally seize shares without compensation (can the government even do that??), the losses borne by what they liken to the inevitable rapture that destroys ai would all be in terms of taxpayer money right?
@PhilWMagness Don’t they believe it’s a bubble? That the value of those stocks are going to crater? So either he believes the government losing billions in the stock market is a sensible proposal, or he wants the government to steal stocks?
@sigmahamster2 A girl I knew at undergrad studied history and had to write on neoliberalism’s failure in South Africa. One argument made in one of her readings was that neoliberalism gave blacks too easy access to well-paying skilled jobs, which prevented them from organizing for socialism 💀
@KavanaghAi32097@MattPPea Dude when you stop approving every random Russian visa application that comes your way and allowing that Russian owned aluminum plant on your soil to export metal for their war machine then you can talk about your issues with the UK. Until then, shut up.
