If Iran pops the AI bubble and triggers a market crash it would be golden

Morale is not low enough, you gotta make it stink much more, make it truly uninhabitable

I hope the flotilla aid missions are also close to arriving by now, I haven't heard anything new of it

The empire is always gonna prioritise Israel (look at Ukraine rn, or the Gulf, both of which, despite being more "important," are getting no arms).

Why do they put so much weight on Israel though? I know their sole existence is being the USA's feral dog in the Middle East so they are always a good bet for the USA, but don't Gulf states also matter a lot to them since they're already puppet states that unlike Israel also have a ton of oil to provide them?

Ideally for the USA they would spread power to Israel and also a number of their protectorates in the area so there isn't a single point of failure and is also easier for the US to surround Iran.

I suppose the reason is that they lack the resources to do this efficiently so they fully commit to keeping Israel powerful instead.

Proving that the universe is deterministic and there is no free will, because all of physics are also in Putin's playbook, and therefore also Kremlin assets

I believe I am now about halfway or more through Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3, next game I play will be strictly of a single digit length in hours.

I also tried out Dome Keeper with the demo, really cool ideas in it, and it's made in Godot which I appreciate

I happened to put it in my wishlist last night, I doubt the politics are based like DE but it looks like a really cool game regardless

The local population is split between business owners who try to appease them and regular people who fucking hate their guts.

It's always the fucking business owners, it's the same in my country. Won't be that good business if people start boycotting though will it

Damn, this is as cool as I was in my 8 year old daydreams looking out the window of the schoolbus but the kid is actually that cool in real life

When the "backwards theocratic regime" is doing actual material analysis to bring about the end of US dominance, while the "logical and facts driven" government is throwing money at AI so it can automatically decide which war crimes to commit

 

We are literally a bomb target because we host US bases from which most if not all planes pass for Iran in order to go and murder innocents, but people are still like "yeah but if we weren't in NATO we'd be worse off".

Fuck the privileged west, you could make them face the wall for the profits of some pedophile American billionaire and they would still feel like they're getting a good deal out of it.

May the bombs wake some people the fuck up

I remember some time where this account actually posted Marxist theory in a fun way, now it has completely devolved into turning class issues into man issues and openly calling for matriarchy in all seriousness. She even agreed with a commenter who said that if Marx was alive he'd be in the Epstein files (he would tbh, but in the Fidel kind of way, not the Chomsky way). I hate how many of these influencers who achieve large audiences and could really raise class consciousness just throw it all in the trash and take the easy route of distraction and opportunism. I used to follow her but I can take no more of this shit.

 
 

I'm sure Ticket Tailor will personally capture carbon from the environment calculated exactly to match the carbon produced by the energy plants during the time they supplied energy to the server processing my order with the overpriced fees

 

There's one wishing OP gets fired over this

These people bitch and moan about gulags but they wouldn't notice if capitalists put them in one

 

When reading through Marx I can't help but think that capitalism has gotten even worse today than it used to be back then, meaning that the actual mechanisms that drive capital now need much more exploitation and in more forms than they used to.

Also I wonder if some changes of capitalism have also caused the working class to be so completely numb. Workers of the 19th and 20th century knew that the capitalists have opposite needs to them and only through fighting them could they stand to improve their situation. However today people just seem uninterested to really fight for themselves despite the proletariat being a much larger percentage of society compared to the past. I know I'm leaving out some important struggles going on when I'm saying this, but it still makes me wonder what made workers in the past centuries so much more class conscious.

I don't believe that much, if anything, that Marx critiqued about capitalism has changed on a structural level, but the flow of capital is so complex today, and the collected capital has become so much larger, that it begs the question if this has created some superstructures of capitalism today.
