jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•"One of Us": The Murder of Charlie Kirk and the Mirror America Refuses to Face52·6 days agoTimestamp:
- 31:30.000 - 32:53.500 Halloween Costume
Gopnik refers to a Russian and Slavic subculture and nationality stereotype about lower-class men, who typically wear Adidas tracksuits, enjoy hardbass music and pose for pictures in the so-called “Slav Squat” or “Gopnik Squat” position with a bottle of vodka, or other hard liquor, in hand. Gopnik memes surfaced en masse on Reddit, 4chan and Twitter / X in the 2010s, spreading into the 2020s. A common catchphrase associated with Gopniks is the Russian slang, “Cyka blyat,” loosely meaning, “Fucking bitch,” in English. In September 2025, Gopniks became attributed to Groypers after a photo of Tyler Robinson, the suspected shooter in the Charlie Kirk Assassination, appeared in a viral image wearing a Gopnik Halloween costume. The connection between Gorypers and Gopniks was largely speculative, however, and Robinson’s political affiliations had not yet been publicized.[1]

jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia is resilient because it is boringEnglish513·13 days agoWikipedia has mountains of useful information, but it is limited and censored when it comes to “controversial” and dissident information, due to it being the status quo and the establishment.
It is known the three-letter agencies have a lot of power controlling and censoring information in media and social media; this includes Wikipedia.
We should always question and be highly critical of these types of organizations and groups, similar to anything politicians and the military spew out.
Thanks for your informative comment; it seems many don’t know or care to question status quo sources and establishment organizations.
Whistleblowers and independent journalists have spoken about this for many years.

Alt. Link: https://archive.ph/rD2R4
Generated Summary:
A 600-word bullet point summary focusing on statistics, comparing China and the US’s energy infrastructure readiness for AI development.
- China views energy availability for AI development as a “solved problem,” unlike the US where it’s a major bottleneck.
- McKinsey projects a $6.7 trillion investment in new data center capacity globally (2025-2030) to meet AI’s energy demands.
- US data center development is limited by power grid stress; some companies build their own power plants. Ohio households face at least a $15/month electricity bill increase due to data centers.
- Goldman Sachs highlights AI’s power demand outpacing grid development cycles.
- China annually adds more electricity demand than Germany’s total annual consumption. One Chinese province matches India’s total electricity supply.
- China maintains an 80-100% reserve margin, meaning it has at least twice the needed capacity, allowing it to absorb AI data center demand.
- The US typically operates with a 15% reserve margin or less, leading to warnings about grid strain during peak demand.
- China’s energy planning is coordinated through long-term, technocratic policy, anticipating demand. The US relies heavily on private investment with shorter-term return expectations (3-5 years), unsuitable for long-term power projects (decade-long build and payoff).
- China directs state funding to strategic sectors, accepting some project failures to ensure capacity when needed. The US lacks this public financing for long-term energy projects.
- China’s pragmatic approach to renewables and coal use, focusing on efficiency and results, contrasts with the US’s politically charged debates.
- Without significant changes in US energy infrastructure funding and development, China’s lead will widen.

Is calling them out on what they do being a shill? I think it would be the opposite of a shill.
Glenn has already proven himself with his record and investigative journalism, especially his work with Edward Snowden.
fascist oligarch shill
I am not sure these words have any meaning when they continue to be used so loosely.
We may not agree with him 100% on all topics, but I don’t think there are people you can agree with 100%, unless you are an apologetic or celebrity worshipper and you just blindly follow people.
I see the topic he discusses here as important, and it is directly tied into technology, with Mark and Thiel being the direct tie.
I am interested in learning about the criticism of the analysis and arguments Glenn has made that you disagree with.
Feel free to post people that have brought these topics up as well.
jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Should Humanity Continue? Glenn Reacts to Thiel Interview [20:56 | JUL 05 2025 | Glenn Greenwald]English37·3 months agoTopics discussed are “transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.”
A generated summary is included so people understand the basics of what the video is about.
I am not sure how to make it easier for people to understand, sorry.
The people Glenn discusses are part of the oligarchy of the United States; they have great power and influence.
Meta and Palantir are a big part of the United States and companies that collect private data on the populace.
Here you go:
Peter Thiel | German-American entrepreneur and venture capitalist (born 1967)
Peter Andreas Thiel is an American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political activist. A co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, he was the first outside investor in Facebook. According to Forbes, as of May 2025, Thiel’s estimated net worth stood at US$20.8 billion, making him the 103rd-richest individual in the world. After graduating from Stanford, Thiel began his career as a clerk for Judge James Larry Edmondson, worked as a securities lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell, a speechwriter for former U.S. secretary of education William Bennett, and a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse. He founded Thiel Capital Management in 1996 and co-founded PayPal with Max Levchin and Luke Nosek in 1998. He was the chief executive officer of PayPal until its sale to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Following PayPal, Thiel founded Clarium Capital, a global macro hedge fund based in San Francisco.
Mark Zuckerberg | American Internet entrepreneur
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is an American businessman who co-founded the social media service Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms, of which he is the chairman, chief executive officer, and controlling shareholder. Zuckerberg has been the subject of multiple lawsuits regarding the creation and ownership of the website as well as issues such as user privacy. Born in White Plains, New York, Zuckerberg briefly attended Harvard College, where he launched Facebook in February 2004 with his roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. Zuckerberg took the company public in May 2012 with majority shares. He became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire in 2008, at age 23, and has consistently ranked among the world’s wealthiest individuals. According to Forbes, Zuckerberg’s estimated net worth stood at US$221.2 billion as of May 2025, making him the second-richest individual in the world.

Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.
This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.
