Anyone claiming to be to the left of me is secretly to the right of me.

catloaf downvotes almost everything.

i’m honestly not convinced a large amount of anti-AI sentiment isn’t pushed by Chinese/Russian bots trying to compensate for their absolutely massive disadvantage to the United States in the arms race currently going on over machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.

Firstly, there aren’t Chinese/Russian bots on Lemmy, and secondly, you’re wildly underestimating China’s current standing and its velocity in machine learning & AI.

I intend to block your instance as soon as the conversations in this thread wrap up.

No, and

This “superposition” tactic has a name: Motte-and-bailey argument

Also Ada is a tankie

🤣

If Ada is a “tankie,” then everyone is a “tankie,” and since you say that “tankies” are fascists, then everyone is a fascist.

Why has she been hosting “196” A.K.A. “(also fuck tankies)” communities for the last two years? Deeply unserious.

I don’t actually recall the .world mods or admins themselves calling people bots, and I’ve recently seen them removing comments containing bot accusations.

Because Hexbear is an explicitly political community. They’re here for politics, so of course that’s what they’re going to comment on.

A leftist social platform centered around community building through discussion, shitposting memes, and sharing content.

It happens to me on the regular, even when I provide the most Media Bias/Fact Check-approved evidence.

You are neither a mod or admin, so you have no idea who voted for what, nor do you know which accounts -if any- might be logged in from the same IP address. Once again you’re just making up stories in your head and flinging insults around.

Still no evidence 💅 and still with the insults & moralizing.

As it stands right now, FDR was re-elected more times than Xi. Was he also a dictator?

Xi has been re-elected twice because people are happy with the steady improvements in their material conditions.

If you want to talk about a fake democracy, look no further than the US. Previously:

The US government was never not captured by the bourgeoisie, because the US was born of a bourgeois revolution[1]. The wealthy, white, male, land-owning, largely slave-owning Founding Fathers constructed a bourgeois state with “checks and balances” against the “tyranny of the majority”. It was never meant to represent the majority—the working class—and it never has, despite eventually allowing women and non-whites (at least those not disenfranchised by the carceral system) to vote. BBC: [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

It’s not a classic because no one says that. Japan did it for sixty years, until it was made a vassal of the US, which it still is today[1][2].

See them yourself. Garbage criticisms from libertarian cranks von Mises and Rothbard 🙄

musk and bezos are not “bourgeois”! Oligarchs maybe?

They are bourgeois and they are oligarchs. They own of the means of production and extract profits from the labor of others, without needing to labor themselves, which is what it means to be haute bourgeois.

Marxists categorize classes based on their relation to the means of production, especially on whether or not members of the class own capital.

That didn’t work at Nuremberg, either, and it’s not so uncommon for the CEO to be on the board.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.
