“Machine learning” is perfectly cromulent. The bias is what it learned, because that’s what it was taught. (Not intentionally, I don’t think. It’s just hard to get this stuff right sometimes.)
It is a bummer that you are feeling financially stressed, but the price of things won’t get better by electing a felon. His stated policies will make things worse
There’s the kicker. Cause I firmly believe that, with more education (not indoctrination) by itself, conservativism would be made up entirely of the lowest 10% of intelligence, and those in the upper 0.5% of wealth (well, those who aren’t already included from the former).
Cause no way in hell do this many regular average people care that greatly about the latest week’s GOP bullshit. Not a chance. Its fear that motivates them to seek a solution, but lack of education that makes it so effective at falling for.
We gotta live with them, so we better figure out how to teach adults who don’t have to be in school for years. Or learn how to live with needing to kill or exile them.
Racism takes root out of people’s fear, and that fear is genuine, although likely obscurred.
Fear that can lead to racism can just simply be a genuine “other race will hurt me” But I’d argue thats only true for the people starting out with the lowest of the low in mental capacity.
More often though, the fear that leads to racist values and occasionally genuine fear of another race is a fear of death.
All it takes is for someone a person holds in high enough reguard convincing them that death might be coming sooner because of “the others”.
And death in the broadest sense of not just a loss of life, but also losing ones way of life. From there, you can point out whatever “others” you’d like, and the bigger the group you can simply define, the more efficient it is. And the dumber a person, the easier it happens.
I’d include bigotry, sexism, even greed boil down to that too.
I don’t think nobody out of the upper 0.1% of the US would gain by their policies (and those mostly vote against them), and 90% of the people in it would probably lose too. For the 0.01%, it’s a matter of valuing short or long term gains and actual wealth as opposed to “Hah! Suffer you poor! I’m better than that!”
It’s absolutely a grand plan, and they’ve even written it all down. It’s called project 2025, and it’s their carefully engineered play by play for exactly this and more.
It is currently, but education of the current voting populace began, and began to fail, long before 2025.
Believe me, i’m accutely aware of 2025. I’m preparing as best as my homeless trans ass can atm, in case me and my chosen peeps feel it best leave in a hurry.
And, while it spells out lots of shitty policy for the trumpers, I very seriously doubt that the concept isn’t much more than an assembly of 1. Stating the obvious, and taking the reigns / credit for, the exploitations started by men who are long dead. 2. A group of groups/shakey collective, and their ideas on how to “take over” the government in a very “you won’t believed this loophole” sort of way.
Is it possible they even mostly succeed? Abso-fucking-lutely, and I worry that its very very likely.
If the left, and those hurt by their own right leaders, cannot manage to stop this, within or outside of the government… and considering how so many opportunities to do that between now and then… then we deserve it. And i’ll gtfo this place, or die trying if it comes to that.
But, given how trump post-election, no longer holds that weighty 2nd term value to the media and politicians alike, I suspect all that trump loyalty dramatically decease before midterms.
“It is a bummer that you feel financially stressed, particularly these last 4 years. But things could be worse! Somehow. Vote Biden in again & you’ll see.”
To leave the US isn’t as easy in itself…to leave, and sever all financial ties, even moreso. I think you must renounce your US citizenship to stop paying income taxes. $2400 + any exit fees, for those with a little more built-up wealth.
Where to go, where to land, is another big question. Nerds with their remote working jobs can go anywhere, work from anywhere, and get their money. I am a blue collar laborer. Pros & cons to that, but it does physically limit where one can go & make a halfway successful, nice living.
I do believe the US is in decline. This could be a Rome type situation, where it is in decline for centuries. When you’re at the top, there’s a long way to fall. It might be best to position yourself accordingly, and not make any rash decisions.
It isn’t. We really do have a two party system. Voting for a third party that’s closer to your ideology just takes a vote away from the major party candidate that’s the closest to it. We have several examples in the past where a third party candidate cost an election for the closest major party candidate, and zero examples where a third party candidate came close to winning. Roosevelt came by far the closest when he ran independent in 1912 and got 27% (which is why Wilson win).
As someone who immigrated to the US as a child, if leaving the US is even 10% as difficult for me as coming was for my parents, I don’t think I’m capable of it despite having a fully remote job at a global company.
Which Trump policy's do you expect to cause deflation significant enough to reduce your grocery bill?
Which Trump policy's do you expect to reduce your dependcy on owning a car so that you won't be at the mercy of oil companies, car manufacturers, and insurance companies in order to survive?
Yup. AI should be used to automate all of the mundane day-to-day BS, leaving us free to practice art, or poetry, or literature, or study, or just do leisure activities. Because all of the mundane BS is automated, so we don’t need to worry about things like income or where our next meal comes from. But instead, we went down the dystopian capitalist timeline, where we’re automating all of the art so artists are forced to get mundane day-to-day BS jobs.
It doesn’t matter which one is elected, neither of them give a shit about the working class; the prices won’t change for the better either way. I wish President George Washington & Abraham Lincoln were reincarnated; Presidents who actually gave a shit.
To bad Biden has completely changed than how he was when he was younger… If only he was elected a lot earlier in his career. Unfortunately, that’s just not how it worked out. There used to be so much more passion behind his eyes, but now you only ever see that passion when he’s talking about icecream. 😮💨
