obv we can’t copy their tactics and strategies 1:1

As long as you keep this in mind - ARAK, “Activist Study - Araling Aktibista” has what you need.

Try Ashwagandha supplements. You already take a pretty crazy cocktail of meds, and introducing more complex pharmaceuticals is unlikely to give you the balance you’re looking for. Also, anecdotally Vyvanse was definitely contributing to my anxiety big time.

Holy fedposting

The video had a beautiful message and was acknowledged by plenty of people

Jordan Peterson has a beautiful message of cleaning your room, Andrew Tate has a beautiful message of working out, and Benito Mussolini had a beautiful message of trains running on time. If it came from an asshole - it’s shit. Don’t touch it yourself and definitely don’t spread it here.

However, if the tool is handled by workers in socialism, the produce will be successes that are vital to human life.

It is not handled by workers in socialism. It is predominantly and mainly used against workers in capitalism. I stg this is the crypto bros all over again, but now the blockchain itself talks to y’all, saying “please share my glory, don’t let me die”. I understand the tech very well from inside and out, and my gripe is not with the bits and pixels, but with who uses them and for what. I’d rather never see an ai-generated video or use decentralized currency ever again than have them in the state that they are today. /thread

Dog, I love the coverage you share here on African affairs, particularly on Sahel States progress. I barely get that news anywhere else, and I love to see the positive developments on the planet. This is good work and I really appreciate you doing it. But please leave me out of your ai crusade, I see plenty of brave warriors on every other platform.

I’m confused. Me calling the “communist ai video” out as ironic trash equals me ignoring the Global South? And you’re begging me to, I presume, save it by watching more ai slop? And tagging me in an article that lists all the negatives of the industry? 🤔

I’m really curious what will be the take of Bayan-adjacent groups on this. Will they hate China more than American imperialism, and say that this is kinda justified? Truly a paradoxical situation for them.

😾

The time you spend questioning “are you really sure it doesn’t work this way?” could have been spent asking “how does it actually work?”. Who cares about any of this? Chinese citizens have had their material conditions continuously improve for decades with no signs of stopping, quite the opposite, and not at the expense of the rest of the planet. And this is the only thing that ultimately matters in a world where most people can’t say that.

Big time agree. People often build their entire positions on top of a few very shoddy lies that simply have been repeated enough and never challenged.

Recognize the narrative they’re following (“israel is defending itself/China is doing a genocide in Xinjiang”). Empathize with their underlying concern (“I care about the safety of civilians/rights of minorities”). From there you can easily deconstruct the underlying arguments and show that they do not match the reality (israelis are not safe/Xinjiang is).

don’t even talk to me or my son ever again 😡

Huh, what are you saying? Literally all the sources you mentioned have consistently done tons of great coverage on Gaza? And “reading a report” is not “being obsessed with glazing”.

It’s not a secret at all that israel knew about the raid beforehand.

What an interesting gripe. Personally I’d say it’s dst itself that is pointless and confusing, causing strokes and car crashes. Rather than the device that automatically handles it not notifying you to change the oven clock.

I can tell you a short summary of multiple first-hand accounts - these people suck ass juice. It’s a glorified newspaper selling operation that shits on any and all leftist action for not being revolutionary enough. All while they have zero interest in cross-community organizing, relationships with unions, or welcoming members that are not already hard-line Marxists to agitate and educate them. Much less participate in any direct action stuff. At every picket line when they try to show up “in solidarity” with their papers they either get directly shooed away or ignored.

At this point it’s a common meme among organizers over here, to pass through this group at some point. Lots of people start out their activist journey with them, because the aesthetics are very appealing to someone just switching to real-world leftism, and they’re easily accessible. Welcome to the club of happily former members. It’s only up from here.
