colden the relations with Israel

I thought this was a forum for Linux discussion, not promotion of fascists

Turns out everything is political

You left out the part where, instead of telling him to knock it off as soon as they learned about it and disciplining him internally as a student, the school contacted law enforcement and allowed him to continue doing it so they could prosecute him harder make an example out of him. You’d think if he was as big of a threat as you’re implying, they would stop what he was doing ASAP. And if you’re going to be pedantic about leaving out details, maybe tell the whole thing. Maybe it’s not “honest” enough if we haven’t posted the full text of a documentary in a comment. That’s clearly your call.

Worse than Bitcoin miners, AI seems to have the wholethroated support of capital (rather than a single faction), who see it as the next big form of automation

Look at your bodies, women! You eat and breathe from the same hole, so food getting stuck there kills you. Your reproductive and waste areas and directly next to each other, which leads to unnecessary infection. You lack the ability to biosynthesize various necessary vitamins, so rely on internal bacteria to produce them for you, risking deadly infection. Your eyes have a blind spot and are not optimized for seeing through air nor through water. A loving and intelligent god would not design you this way. Please understand that your unnecessarily complicated feet are not a sign that you are “intended” for anything, let alone patriarchy.

We evolved to enslave cows and chickens! It’S ScIEnCE!!!

What did they realize that they open sourced their product a decade too late for anyone to actually revive it?

I have every gog installer I’ve ever downloaded for this exact reason. You can’t rescind the bytes that are already on my drive.

Actually enforcing antitrust law again would be cool

Saw this earlier from an account called something like “Vets for Kamala”

So this is admittedly the first genocide I’ve followed this closely in real time. Is it normal for them to just… announce what they’re doing the entire time? The general who drafted the plan posted it on YouTube? What?

Linux installs have gotten so quick and painless over the past decade or so. Usually just following a GUI, waiting like 5 minutes for the install, and suddenly you’re booted into a fresh desktop.

It’s not as close to an exact quote as I thought, to be honest, but I stand by the sentiment that the statement was unsupportive of the trans community.

My espresso has arrived. Clinton asks for more iced tea. I cannot allow the lunch to end without questioning the direction of her party. I say that Democrats seem to be going out of their way to lose elections by elevating activist causes, notably the transgender debate, which are relevant only to a small minority. What sense does it make to depict JK Rowling as a fascist? To my surprise, Clinton shares the premise of my question.

“We are standing on the precipice of losing our democracy, and everything that everybody else cares about then goes out the window,” she says. “Look, the most important thing is to win the next election. The alternative is so frightening that whatever does not help you win should not be a priority.”

From an interview with the Financial Times

I’d note 4 things:

1. The question is obviously heavily framed as an anti-trans question
2. A lot of right wing news outlets reported the initial question as if Clinton herself was the one who said it, which isn’t true.
3. Most non-right-wing outlets didn’t mention the context that she was responding to a question about trans people at all
4. She never retracted or clarified her statement after the fact

Why subtweet Hillary Clinton on this one? It’s almost an exact quote.

Seems like stealth checks at higher levels could alter DCs for this phenomenon

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about. Funny how Trump is a fascist no matter what definition you use.

Umberto Eco completely ignores the material basis for fascism, which is usually the downwardly mobile petit bourgeoisie. Fascism takes advantage of superstructural elements, which is why Eco’s list contains the elements it does in a kind of grab bag fashion. But it still has a material basis, itself being a response to a crisis within capitalism. Would highly recommend The Jakarta Method for further reading on what people are discussing in your replies and in this thread.
