    This is some really idealistic brain worms with no analysis of the current system…

    “AI”, as much as I personally dislike the term, is already here. You can’t go back after you already have it. The only thing you can change right now is what to use it for. And if you make an argument akin to “if only all people collectively decided not to use this power-hungry tech and save the planet” - that’s not how our society works.

    Sure, we’d like to not roast the entire planet with this techbro, stolen data Silicon Valley bullshit, but that’s well beyond our control.

    the racism in russia

    Wasn’t it “the West” who came up with the idea of “Asiatic hordes” (which is repurposed Nazi propaganda btw), “orcs” and “untermenschen”? Wasn’t it “the West” who spread the narrative of “relatively European, relatively civilized”, temporary “white” Ukrainians when it was convenient for them? I don’t think you understand what racism is and where it came from.

    Historically, racism and “races” were Western European inventions that served the purpose of justifying hereditary slavery and colonialism. Here’s an interesting thing - it never went away. One look at Gaza, Palestine or the Arab world in general should tell you as much.

    Racism is also believing western “sources” are inherently, magically more trustworthy than any Russian outlets without doing any outside material analysis of the actual details of history. We do not trust either side, we don’t have to - we analyze the information through a materialist ideological lens.

    Yes, because reddthat libs clearly understand more than what CNN/NBC/ABC/XYZ western propaganda press says. You people were unable to point Ukraine on a map four days before Feb 24, and yet you pretend you’re fucking experts on the region and its history, with your stupid smirks and remarks. You ignored the time the US empire (the actual aggressor) conducted two color revolutions in Ukraine, including one that ended in a violent coup in 2014. You ignored the broken promises and Minsk agreements, you ignored 8 years of the AFU shelling the living shit out of people in the Donbass. You ignored the US nazifying Ukraine and pumping it full of NATO weapons, you ignored the US unilaterally torpedoing the INF treaty, you ignored the nuclear-capable Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland painfully close to Russia’s borders.

    That’s the thing, though - they wanted to start a proxy war, and for that they needed to present Russia as the aggressor while erasing every single thing they did to provoke Russia into some sort of response. Otherwise there is no justification for “helping” Ukraine. Otherwise the narrative falls apart at its seams.
