Unionize to get a better job or get a better job.

OK, but who does it cost more? The person being interviewed is also burning opportunity and time but we assume it’s free because no one is paying them?

Value extraction is something but it’s not the same as producing value

The purpose of a system is what it does.

If you were paying the real price it would be 2 grand a year though. And in 5 years that 15k graphics card will be $200 and sip on electricity by comparison.

Because the common folk is too poor to afford admission.

I guess google’s announcement of renting xai compute could have been simply for show to boost SpaceX ipo.

They would raid pensions before asking congress

That’s your choice to make and passing judgment doesn’t seem to have any material consequence. Compare that to a Palestinian, why should they care what kind of asshole we elect to office, when they care about whether that asshole will keep giving money to Isreal? They have different material conditions but I would not disparage their values over that choice. This idea that a choice is universally good or bad regardless of context is used to police our history, not just our voting. It feels very liberal coded.

This. I can understand an American not understanding the history of a symbol, the confederate flag comes to mind, but the eagerness to murder to make sure America is top dog is big red flag.

When exactly did fascism stop in the states? Was it after the Civil War ended slavery but didn’t give blacks the right to vote? Or when we gave them the right to vote but also sent their men to die in Vietnam? Or did it end with the USSR while we supported the genocide in Palestine? Fascism in the states exists on a spectrum and voting is often choosing which direction it will creep towards.

Not knowing history can do that sometimes

I don’t really take stalk in how people vote in a liberal democracy, its built to dismantle class consciousness. Vote however your internal values and material conditions dictates, but please don’t act like voting will save us from fascism.

But also, anyone who isn’t apart of the one true Vanguard is a liberal or a fascist.

I’ve got some bad news about our managers and leaders…

I thought we were sharing comedically bad definitions of political systems.

Pretty sure socialism is when government does things and communism is when government does lots of things.

Catherine Liu pointed out how a lot of leftist spaces end up reproducing vanguards because of internal contradictions. Seems relevant for some reason…

Socialism is when small youtuber, capitalism is when popular youtuber.

Depends, if you put the leaders and billionaires in a learning camp where they garden and make art for the rest of their lives, that alone would eliminate the CO2 of many countries.
