  • They would probably like communism, or at least not object to it too much. Communalism has a lot of opinions on how people need to conform, and they seem very keen on people conforming. The only real difference between the GOP and communism is that they disagree with where all the money should go. But if you have to pick a regime to live under, it’s basically a coin flip.

    They both take from the poor, it’s just who gets the money that’s different, which would make virtually no difference to 99% of people.


  • A persons inability to differentiate between slightly progressive policies and communism, is a gigantic blood red flag indicating that they are a trash person and not worth talking to.

    The most fair but unfavourable (according to them) interpretation of his policies would be socialist, to be a communist he would have to have been a dictator who seized power with force rather than democratically elected. But honestly it’s debatable about whether or not the policies he is proposing go far enough to really be in the realm of socialist. It’s basically just left wing progressive.

    If it weren’t for the fact that he was American no one would be batting an eye. Come to Europe and say those things and everyone would be “well yeah, obviously”.






  • What did he farm the ostriches for, eggs?

    I grew up on a farm and there was a family in our area and they used to have peacocksz but I’m pretty sure they were just there the visual interest because I don’t think they were actually part of the farm stock. I always assumed that people kept ostriches for pretty much the same reason, because honestly they are pain to deal with. I certainly don’t think I’ve ever really seen ostrich eggs being particularly high in demand.








  • The fact that he was even able to make that bet is incredible. How deluded do you have to be to think the AI bubble won’t burst? Keeping it going will require in ever-increasing amounts of money to paper over the gaping chasms that keep cropping up, and eventually the amount of money necessary to keep it going will cease to be feasible. Then, after taking gullible investor for all of they’ve got, the whole thing will fall over in the world’s most well deserved and predictable market crash.

    The subprime mortgage collapse was inevitable only in hindsight, you had to have a good understanding of the market to see it in advance. To see the level of corruption and false promises that have to be made in order to make the mortgage bubble possible. But everyone can see the AI BS right out in the open, I’m not talking about the “how many Rs are in strawberry” questions either, I can sort of see why that’s not really a fair question. I’m talking about the fact that every single business that has ever tried to replace its employees with AI, has always failed, and failed almost immediately. Even Amazon couldn’t make it work.
