Even some Adam Smith quotes would sound revolutionary today.

Reports from RT and TASS frequently diverge from those of Western and Ukrainian sources. This divergence is often characterized by contradictory factual claims rather than a binary of "truth" versus "lies." The continuous nature of these contradictions aligns with the operational pattern of state media during information warfare, where narrative consistency with official policy is the primary objective. The organizations generally view their work as exposing the hypocrisy of Western narratives rather than engaging in an absolute pursuit of objective fact as defined by adversarial standards.

Media analysis is deeply subjective and context-dependent. The assessment of whether reports constitute "lies" is highly politicized, as different entities apply different standards of evidence and adhere to varying frameworks of international law and fact-checking.

Surplus value can only be created by surplus labour. It is an objective structural imperative of Capitalism for employees to stay longer to create value for shareholders.

LLMs have the potential to shorten socially necessary labor time, but under capitalism, this potential is perverted into a means of intensifying exploitation and increasing alienation.

I am not surprised that people believed such things about 2500 years ago. The weird thing is how some people could consider this the truth now.

We will see. The point is that Large Language Models cannot produce anything that is not a copy of the work of someone else, while Ford engineers need to be creative to design new cars.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you will feel better as time goes by.

The one in which having slaves is OK as long as they are not Jewish

Nice passage! This one too is interesting IMHO:

The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Unfortunately, most organized religions are evil. Exceptions are very rare and include Liberation Theology in Latin America in 1960s and Islamic socialism from 1930s to 1990s.

There are many people in France, you know. Some people accepted black French poets who wrote in French as French poets. If you walk around France you will see people of all races working in all jobs. I don't know why this burkini thing triggers some of them that much.

For Lukács, liberalism is the more dangerous ideology because it is hypocritical: it promises emancipation while delivering exploitation. But calling it a “religion” is analytically sloppy. Religion, for Marx, is the “sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world.” Liberalism offers no such sigh; it offers a rationalization of the heartless world.
