(I want to be clear that I'm not advocating for accelerationism, I'm just seeing holes in the argument) Pushing people in a vulnerable position now to make change for the future is a great example of the needs of the many ethical arguments. Advocating against change because it hurts me in the short term is inherently selfish. I know people that are accelerationists, and The ones I know don't assume that they'll come out ahead or even the same. They recognize that the system is inherently broken and they think they need more people uncomfortable to make meaningful change.

Churchill is probably viewed as worse than Hitler in parts of the world for good reason.

I think a lot of the argument against voting for lesser evil is the acceleration aspect. It's advocating for a quicker fall of the American empire

Any American that thinks you're going to be able to vote this regime out is either not paying attention or a complete shill

Reminder that this incredibly evil guy referred to trump as 'uniquely evil'

Was it the big one? I used to watch that regularly on Detroit stations in the 90s. He was good.

I was going to buy a series x this year, but with the increase in game pass price, it's just not worth it anymore.

The drones used in the Russia Ukraine war aren't stealth. They're very loud. It's rare you see combat footage where the victim isn't aware of the drone. They've been effectively used as anti personnel and anti equipment devices. A swarm could be used effectively to overwhelm positions. I have suspicion that this is to counter the upcoming anti drone technology that shoots them with lazers. It could also allow one person to push groups into kill zones.

There's a lot of unsaid assumptions going on here. If you're talking about turning our society completely without any preparation, I'd agree. If you're talking about having similar levels of healthcare or I strongly disagree

The math still doesn't add up. Typically there's a 3x difference between casualties and fatalities, but this is saying that there's a 6x difference.

First bullet and last bullet contradict each other. Last bullet implies that 96 000 people died in the year for those territorial gains. First bullet says that all new recruits are just replacement for the dead. But the 96 000 dead can be replaced in 3 months.
