Tbf some fields of study seem to be asking for it. I’m looking at you economics; when was the last time you produced a model that described the real world rather than produced a justification for economic policy?

I can independently verify this.

Not only the pollution.

It has triggered an economic race to the bottom for any industry that can incorporate it. Employers will be forced to replace more workers with AI to keep prices competitive. And that is a lot of industries, especially if AI continues its growth.
The result is a lot of unemployment, which means an economic slowdown due to a lack of discretionary spending, which is a feedback loop.

There are only 3 outcomes I can imagine:

1. AI fizzles out. It can’t maintain its advancement enough to impress execs.
2. An unimaginable wealth disparity and probably a return to something like feudalism.
3. social revolution where AI is taken out of the hands of owners and placed into the hands of workers. Would require changes that we’d consider radically socialist now, like UBI and strong af social safety nets.

The second seems more likely than the third, and I consider that more or less a destruction of humanity

Poe’s Law is hitting hard in these comments, but for good reason I suppose.

Then they shouldn’t try to both-sides the argument.

Nobody is defending Biden. He is just less evil than Trump, and far less of a risk to what little democracy remains. The bar is on the floor.

I might actually agree with ballot spoiling if one of the candidates wasn’t actively trying to replace democracy, and also teaching other populist extremist leaders around the world how to do the same there.

You’re simply making more bad faith arguments. The post was clearly hyperbole, but using violence is probably a reasonable response to actual fascism.

You can’t “both sides” this. Both sides are evil, but one side is an existential threat to democracy. One side has demonstrated its not going to play by the rules and is fine breaking the norms that many checks and balances relied on.
On one side some voters are extreme. On the other side, some politicians are extreme.
One side has already tried to undermine democracy and actually met with some success and no repercussions.

It’s not the same, and to call it the same is done in bad faith.

It’s literally the language used in the comment I’m responding to. I’m not the one who originally called it fascist lol
God y’all so pressed, it’s pathetic 🤣

As a millennial I’ma have to just come out and say it:

The way we’re all pilling on gen-z and saying they’re all dumb for this… It’s giving Boomer. Not a good look.

Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don’t have to try to be cool forever. We’re old now, folks, it’s ok

To the extent of “what does calling out anyone for anything lead to an interesting nuanced discussion” so should we ban calling people out?

Ultimately it’s ambiguous and we need to draw a line in the sand somewhere, but it’s reasonable for people to disagree where to draw that line.

You cannot be so media illiterate.
You think that fighting a Nazi makes you a Nazi? That’s the lesson you got from the poem? That is either a mind boggling amount of illiteracy, or, more likely, you’re a Nazi apologist.

People who are in a position to stand up to evil and fail to do so bear some responsibility for the deeds of the evil.

Never mind that this post is clearly hyperbolic, you’re clearly making bad-faith arguments in support of fascism. If you’re a fascist or not, you gotta take a good long look in the mirror, because that’s fucked up

Literally one of the most famous poems ever written is about exactly this.

You know, First They Came?

The way you unashamedly prefer fascism over violence against fascists, with your whole chest.

You realize that Trump’s supreme Court Justices are the ones who legalized exactly that, right?

I think that’s common now. It’s at least the same where I live.

But way back you could smoke anywhere in a restaurant, etc. even on planes, at one point.

Bröther

Ah yes, the four passions of the dwarf:

1. Mining
2. Brewing
3. Smithing
4. Homophobia agressive celibacy

Remember when they didn’t have smoking sections, you were allowed to smoke anywhere?

Wait, what criticism?
I’ve never heard anything bad about it, I just never got around to reading it (it’s not really my jam).

Oh shit that works surprisingly well
