yeah I have no idea who would even bother trying to earn money by moving to amerika; doing so would just cause you to lose money to the myriad amount of scams that are legalized (insurance being one of them).

But AI is really bad for the environment, and is it even that good for translation?

It could just be hypocrisy and conservatives choosing not to use their brains for anything (half of their brainpower is used to say “but Biden” whenever they cannot argue against an anti-Trump argument). Also yes, what you said is true and has an important implication: A conservative and a communist might superficially share some similar beliefs, but what acts they commit will embody what their actual goals are (which is why horseshoe theory is absurd).

Weird how conservatives are like: “we are against government authority” unless their government needs to go to war or deport legal citizens with skin colors darker than they like. You would think that such things count as concentration of power.

Oh, I see. What a nasty egg.

What is the stance of the UAE on stuff like the Palestine-Israel War and the America-Iran War? I think I have heard that it is some real traitorous piece of work (to the Middle East) but I might be misremembering.

Yeah, homeschooling seems to generally be worse for children than outschooling because of those reasons. There is also the fact that I have no idea if the qualifications for homeschooling are as high as those for standard schools (they are probably lower), so they will get lower-quality education that is tinged with the ideological beliefs their parents will have.

Diversification of political power vs the concentration of political power is an interesting way of discriminating the Left and the Right (though I guess they are more vague descriptors due to the fact that the Left and Right serve as umbrella terms for numerous groups which do not share that much in common with one another, yet are still opposed to the other side).

And the racism they exhibit towards the DPRK and China are probably identical to how conservatives might exhibit racism (they both feel empowered by the ability to be racist without backlash).

They prefer to be more subtle about it, I would imagine Trump: threatens to genocide all of Iran Liberals: would bomb the entire country without threatening genocide, even though they would probably be hitting civilian infrastructure “by accident”

Not really a surprise, since liberals are just like that.

What do you all think of their video on work? I heard that it was criticized by another video but I forgot what this other video was about.

Who are these people (besides Ben Shapiro)? I have never heard of these random zionists.

There is nothing wrong with being weird, but bragging about consumption of that adult material is not really something I understand; why would you do it?

Oh, those people sound annoying. I get not wanting to have pornography be legal, but harassing people is not a way of fighting patriarchy (and I doubt they are the type to even care about patriarchy anyways).

I am not sure who the western puritans are (maybe republicans), since I do not think America bans pornography (outside of egregiously illegal examples that I do not need to list here); boasting about consuming that material is weird regardless.

The issue is that merely exposing oneself to triggers is not good enough; it must be done in appropriate doses, which is nearly impossible on the internet, which can suddenly slap me in the face with something triggering to myself, and my trigger would thus become heightened. It is a difficult balance to achieve…

oh a controversial opinion, but one I appreciate nonetheless because I am glad to see differing perspectives on this post. I do wonder what Marxists here think of China’s attitude towards pornography (I think they ban it completely?).

True, those that consume pornography and assume it is reality will end up harming themselves and others if left to fester beyond the point of no return.

Yeah, it is a difficult subject for me to handle because of personal issues, but hearing the differing perspectives and not shying away from reading them is probably better for my mental health in the long-term. I still do not accept just giving them access to anything like what this topic was about just because it is difficult to prevent them from seeing it.

Oh, I was not debating or asking what made Bukharin a rightist (I did recall his “ABC’s of Communism” as being a bit “prophetical” and talked a bit too much about the specifics of how socialist society and communist society would operate), and I forgot Bukharin’s anti-Stalin stance; I was merely wondering how separating children from parents was rightist.

I have never thought about alienating children from parents as affecting their perception of the means of production, nor the consequences for socialism that such a thing would entail. On a similar topic, I do not think homeschooling should be legal because it can be an echo chamber of harmful influences that the parent would have full access over.

I do think that it should really be taught in schools (under socialism because capitalism will reject it) because idealist thinking (as Faux) mentioned is really harmful in many ways, like the propagation of harmful beliefs (anti-vaccination) to misinformed ideologies about how capitalism works (“free market” is capitalism). Thank you for mentioning that it applies to all spheres of knowledge because I kind of forgot.
