Fair enough.
This does not support my hypothesis

Allegedly the guy who shot Charlie Kirk was a right extremist who’s take was Kirk was too moderate.
So far I think it’s a bet gain for democracy though.
It’s an interesting hypothesis

What? That’s not at all what that article describes.
That’s talking about using federal lands to build towns. Towns with very odd and selected features, but I don’t see anything even vaguely like a hive city in there.
Don’t get me wrong still terrible, just for other reasons
- Comment on Get in the AI cube 2 weeks ago:
So if we double the cube we can have a 2’ x 2’ × 12’ space? That might be better than some NYC apartments already
- Comment on Get in the AI cube 2 weeks ago:
Tech bros suggesting we live in a hive city is believable

Some do. The Stuttgart airport has an Edeka

I don’t think Walmart will be replacing their staff with robots.
One products and store messes are simply so very un-uniform it’s actually hard to automate.
Two the government won’t subsidize the robots like they do the workers.

Some of the airports have 24/7 grocery stores

There are 3 positions. Mayhaps, yes, and no.
Yes and no hate each other, but for some reason they hate mayhaps more

I’ve been a scientific monitor for construction projects and they will tolerate you, but you will mostly be excluded. I of course as bearded man from the South had an easier time than some of the younger women that were my coworkers.
Honestly the drama on a construction site is peak. These grown men are so petty and cliquey

“The man in the photo mimicked the sound of herding sheep, treating Palestinians like his livestock.”
Per the photographer
Fellas is it anti-semetism to do journalism?
- Comment on ShitpostID: 281172951 2 weeks ago:
You need the recent context from the news. This is clearly referring to a piece ran by an Italian newspaper that photographed a Israeli “settler” in the westbank.
Not the original article but here:
www.chosun.com/…/JLFWIAKWU5H2XCY77YP4EETBHQ/
As you can see the hairstyle and yarmulke are spot on and accurate to real world events.
The teeth are exaggerated both to characterize the image, as lets admit that’s not a very usual grin, and to emulate Cleetus a Simpsons character.
simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Cletus_Spuckler
That is why the teeth are messed up. The use of Cleetus is intentional to point out how fucking backwards Israeli is in its “settlement” policies.
So yeah in the context of current events this is not a “minstrel poster”.

And we’ve looped right back round to the pro-colonalism logic. Cool cool
Anyway thanks for the several hours of entertainment. I also find the lengths authoritarian go to to justify their preffered state’s actions. Very similar to the logic that anti-vaxxers and flat earthers use. Hubris about the same as an anti-vaxxer. You truly made this train ride a little fast.
May your boot be firmly lodged 🖖

Did modern day switzerland (post ww2 seems like a good line but I’m open on this) draw a random ass claim on parts of France and fill the river with skeletons? That’s certainly not in any history book I’ve ever seen
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Oh right the old everyone kills their neighbors defense so all genocide is a-ok.
Yeah no, I hold the modern world to a higher standard than that sorry.
Feels like you are finally admitting to the imperialism at least
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Right a power drawing a line on a map claiming land and then enforcing that claim via violence totally isn’t colonialism.
Do yourself a favor and don’t look into the linguistic history of what is today China. You will see an impressive number of languages that became extinct in the past 100 years. The Navajo language is doing well today too. Doesn’t change the history. It’s like you are unable to look at history you find inconvenient. I don’t defend the brutalization of indeginious populations, you do for some odd reason. Oh right you’re an imperialist authoritarian
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Sure today, same could be said about the Native Americans. Doesn’t mean they didn’t expirence an active and ongoing genocide until recently. Doesn’t suddenly make those past actions didn’t happen.
You wouldn’t paint the conqistadors as saviors, but they ended a slave empire that practiced human sacrifice. Doesn’t absolve them of what they did after.
If China did this for the good of Tibet they wouldn’t have been annexed. Nor would they have had all of their resources exploited. But you know what’s a little colonialism, as long as your side does it right?

Lmao, I didn’t engage with their nonsense arguements and that prompted them to make up more. It was entertaining to say the least.
A better equivalent is arguing with a flat farther. There’s no point since they start with a preconceived notion
