  • No, Im saying you should fuck off because youre too lazy to neutrally asses information, and too pathetic to question your obviously understudied opinion. You made no real argument whatsoever originally other than saying Obama wasnt a neoliberal president, which is just baseless and stupid. You refuse to asses information from an article that well predates the Palestinian Genocide by a longshot and has nothing to do with the conflict whatsoever. Youre just outright ignorant quite frankly

    Best of luck living with your head in the sand, Im done responding to someone who doesnt converse in good faith



  • Lol dude. If you think my perspective is not sound and that Obama isnt a classic neoliberal politician then you need to study his presidency yourself. The only one here confused about what actually went down is you.

    Here, have an article to get you started

    Literally the only thing remotely distant from neoliberalism that Obama ever accomplished was Obamacare, and even then that was just a half-assed version of actual progressive policy like single payer healthcare or medicare for all. And the reasoning behind why we never got real progressive policy when they pushed Obamacare is because the DNC is a neoliberal party in sheeps clothing. Just as Obama was. Read a thing or two before you say dumb shit online. The democrats had full control of the government, they could have revolutionized our country just as magats are doing now, instead they barely accomplished anything. They didnt because theyre a bunch of neoliberal fuckers. Its factual, not subjective


  • Calling the death of Del Monte foods a tariff casualty while attaching graphic evidence that Americans just dont want canned fruits and vegetables anymore is pretty stupid.

    People are now more health conscious on average than American consumers have ever been. Most consumers are wise enough now to realize that if they want greenbeans or whatever its best to buy fresh beans and cook them. The canned alternative has so much salt in it that it might as well be a corned beef hash.

    Like seriously, if you put as much table salt onto fresh cooked beans as comes in the average can you wouldnt even find them edible anymore. That is the death of Del Monte. Not tariffs. Tariffs were just the death knell of what consumer behavior already started decades ago. No one wants to eat 30% of their DV of sodium in a serving of beans




  • The DNC is definitively a neoliberal party. Obama was one of the most neoliberal presidents we have ever had, as far as social attitudes go. He massively carried water for the whole “if I made it, anyone can” and “black people suffer from a culture of poverty” type of nonsense, both of which serve an agenda that is against providing social safety nets and actually helping people improve their lives. Neoliberalism is all about blaming individuals for the failures of government as a means to avoid bolstering social services

    “Neoliberals have been run out of the DNC” is absolutely nonsense. Neoliberals running the DNC is 99.9% of the problem with the DNC today. Its the reason why true progressive politics fail so often






  • The justice department also released video surveillance of the hallway outside of Epstein’s cell, although the digital clock on the tape skipped from 11:58:58pm to 12:00am. Officials did not address the jump and added that no further materials would be made public.

    Ah yes, the hallway footage with a minute cut out of it. The only footage we have because the camera in his cell was coincidentally not operational. And the only account we have of the events because both of the guards who were assigned to watching the most high-profile dude in the prison, while he was on suicide watch, in a camera-less cell, happened to both be asleep.

    Surely this guy totally killed himself




  • Its honestly a great analogy for the way that humans have a tendency to do the same thing. Most people are fairly incapable of setting aside what they already think is true when they go to assess new information. This is basically no different than an LLM being pushed to ignore nuance in order to maintain a predisposed alignment that it has been instructed to justify in spite of evidence to the contrary.

    If anything hes designed a model with built-in problems specifically to cater to human beings with the same design problems



  • Theres no way in hell the US will be anywhere close to first in developing stable fusion power. Projects in Europe and Asia are lightyears ahead of us here, where we dont even have a reactor capable of producing a stable reaction. Meanwhile in Korea I think they have managed to achieve a stable reaction for over 10 minutes already. Who knows where China is at, although they likely have the largest facility working on it.

    Weve already lost the race thanks to our obsession with yesterday’s energy methods
