Musk showing that, in this age of AI-generated slop, it is possible for a human to fail the Turing test.

I was thinking about this and also those big charts of 'conservativecore' films and video games and it's literally just whatever the person making the chart likes, because as you said the crucial thing is superficiality: there is no underlying reason or rational basis for their worldview or aesthetics, all they can do is take a thing that they personally think is good (based on whatever their arbitrary tastes are) and then claim that thing is the enlightened pinnacle of human culture - and that [whatever it is] needs to be defended from the woke hordes who MUST be desperate to destroy it because it's good, and their enemies simply hate things that are good, for no reason, because they're evil.

So they both assume they have a monopoly on liking any random thing that large numbers of people are likely to enjoy, AND they gloat about how conservative society's tastes supposedly are, not because of the ideological dominance of capitalist rhetoric in all forms of media due to bourgeoise control of the means of production, but because other people like the same things that they like!

Rees-Mogg isn't even an aristocrat, his dad was made a peer when he was already nearly twenty. He just larps it.

The absolute desperation of the British bourgeoisie to gain a noble title is a crucial pillar of the Crown's continued existence, which in turn bestows legitimacy on bourgeoise institutions by handing out honors and knighthoods to random bankers and lawyers. The British bourgeoisie domesticated their nobility economically but in turn became domesticated by them culturally. It's a real disgusting, pathetic mess of the most wretched greyfaced parasitic slime of humanity.

Do not try not to bust a nut. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

What truth?

There is no nut.

There is no nut?

Then you'll see, that it is not the nut that busts, it is only yourself.

Fumbling a baddie cause you can't just not explain how communism won't destroy the advances in organizational techniques developed under capitalism, but will instead free them to be deployed democratically by the workers in organizing themselves.

Israel is the live-fire testing range of all the Empire's tools of opression. They have a thousand startups throwing shit at the wall, and the 1% that sticks gets deployed everywhere else. Those can range from facial recognition cameras and AI SIGINT filtering to new brutal policing and anti-riot tactics and techniques.

susie-laugh God, Teslas are truly the gift that keeps on giving, the pinnacle of car technology. Yes please, I would like my car to catch fire when I brake.

Blasting through the entire magazine of the bottom one one-handed before discarding it and drawing another, flintlock style, from a brace of them strapped under the lapels of my embroidered frock coat.

I read a post recently, I can't remember where, that had a phrase that's been rattling around my head ever since: "Hitler was the Jesus of Europe"

Hitler took all the sins of European colonialism onto himself and then died, absolving Europeans of the guilt for every crime they committed before, as well as the crimes they would go on to commit after. By raising Hitler and the Nazis to the position of 'ultimate evil', and then pretending the western allies opposed and rejected the Nazis from pure and simple moral goodness, they can spin the lie of Europe as being fundamentally good - rather than the truth that the Nazis were a mere intensified extension of the same brutual colonialism that is the true nature of the European powers.

And of course as part of that, the swastika has to be considered a symbol of literally unspeakable evil, as in you cannot talk about it at all. It's a huge shame that such a widespread and ancient symbol (I've heard it may be based on the positions of the constellation Ursa Major around the pole star on the solstices and equinoxes) is stained in this way, to the extent that any design with curving radial symmetry seems inherently suspicious.

I'm also glad to see someone else put into words my true revulsion at the Union Jack - needless to say, the same goes a thousand-fold for the Stars and Stripes. When the true history of the world is finally written, that will go down as the single most utterly evil symbol of all time.

 

This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " smuglord

but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

 

Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

 

Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! soypoint-2

Featuring such golden comment chains as:

One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier

Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course edgeworth-smug

 

For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.

(Great minds think alike but this one has no background)
