Quick, you need to do something about it!!!

I could justify any investment with this argument!

"Yes, it's possible the 'literally burn 50 billion in cash, as in immolate it in a bondfire, this is not a metaphor' -project may fail to generate profits, but consider that they were able to raise the 50 billions! Even if it fails it was worth the risk, or the investors wouldn't have invested!"

And on a rational note, you're just writing up an army of strawmen to dunk on, and your arguments are not answering mine, they're nothing but rhetoric.

I don't think I can convince you. I hope some day you realize you're on the wrong side of history.

Or maybe you could just take off the mask fully and admit you're a racist. That would be preferable to this pathetic "centrist" roleplay.

Just as an example, the Trump admin pulled funding from research units that used the words "gender" or "climate change".

Yes, it was comically inept, but it was also legitimately harmful to free speech.

And how about ICE recording the faces of people who attend the no kings protests in order to antagonize them?

- "what is the marginal cost of posting on X, it costs 0$!", which is obviously false. From a labor cost pov, but also because twitter charges for engagement.

- "this is clearly ideological"

- 'EFF is no longer neutral"

It almost seems... coordinated.

ADL is not concerned with anti-semitism anymore, they'renonly concerned about silencing xriticism of Israel. This became clear when they updated their definition of anti-semitism to include anti-zionism and opposition to Israel. They have lost all credibility.

And AFD is most definitely a nazi party. Just because there are less polished nazi parties as well does not make them non-nazis. They have an ethnonationalist agenda, focusing on German ethnicity as the basis around which to build the German nation state. Contrast this with civic nationalism, the non-nazi liberal take on nation states, in which citizenship is based on a cultural identity and belonging, not your Germanic descent.

Racism is a societal ill, so it will express itself through many channels in society, and it will be embedded in the systems that we institute (just like other biases and attitudes do). Therefore identifying racism even when it isn't explicit or flagrant is pretty common and reasonable thing to do.

I don't think I've ever run into anti-racists who are trying to invent issues, or discover racism where there is none.

Lots of anti-semites also like what Israel is doing, because they hate arabs even more, and of course, a lot of them are fundamentalist christians that believe the biblical Israelites have to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem before Jesus can return.

After Israel implemented apartheid, they became an example for ethnonationalist supremacist groups. You know, like what the nazis were. Israel was one of the last countries to support apartheid South Africa (led by nazis), it's currently conducting a genocide against Palestinians, is aggressively expanding into nearby countries, and is at constant war.

Elon Musk also very clearly heiled. Just look up a video. He slaps his chest and flings his arm out in a textbook nazi salute. Then he turns around and heils the US flag. Elon Musk's grandfather was a Canadian nazi (card-carrying member!) who moved to South Africa in order to support apartheid. His mother was, similarly a supporter of apartheid and a staunch racist. He has been brought up in this ideology.

Elon is a nazi and so is Netanyahu.

To be clear, when I say nazi, I do not mean "card-carrying member of the nazi party" (except Musk's grandpa), I mean someone who thinks there is an in group that is superior to others, who should have more power, more rights, and should be allowed to destroy the other. It does not matter who the other is, the can be jewish (1930s nazis), palestinian (zionists), south amreican or somali (MAGA), or something else.

I'd say those people support authoritarian politics at the least. Now add in the context of the end in question (less immigration of racialized people) and the means in question (indiscriminately imprisoning minorities), that in itself is well in line with fascism.

He grew up in apartheid South Africa, where his grandparents moved because they wanted to support apartheid. His grandparents were nazis; as in Errol Musk has stated they were in the "German [Nazi] Party but in Canada", and supported Hitler in the 1940s. Elon would have picked up on these influences, and Elon himself has supported AFD, the current german nazi party. By all accounts, it's not out of character for Elon to heil. I mean, if we for some reason are discounting the obvious visual evidence that he did, in fact, heil.

Pleas explain to me how that wasn't a nazi salute.

Considering that, I would say a much more accurate statement is that sub-prime technical debt is now easy to take on.

I'm surprised at the low quality of the grifting comments in this thread. I have a feeling that the vibe coding enjoyers used to at least make defensible statements. Now it's just pure hype. Seems like we're in the SBF being lauded for FTX part of the bubble.

You fed my comment to an AI and based your response on what it said. You said some of the claims were "incorrect".

Let's leave aside how ridiculous it is to fact-check with an LLM. if you go back and read what the AI actually generated, however, you will see that every claim has factual basis, the LLM just marked some as "narrow factual basis", for no particular reason. If it has been documented, it is fact, the LLM is just confused.

Every one of these, when done systematically (and they are) is a component of genocide. About half of them would be enough to constitute genocide on their own.

Displacing more than half of a population (as Israel has done TWICE in history) is definitely genocide.

If you are truly interested in educating yourself, you can start by reading the following wikipedia page (even just the intro):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide

2) Israel has had genocidal plans for Palestinians since before Hamas existed (see the Nakba). In fact, Likud brought Hamas to power, because they saw them as a more fitting opponent than other groups (who were less militant).

3) Israeli politicians (not just current ones) have candidly stated they wish to destroy Palestine, Palestinians, and any chance for them to live in theur homeland

For gods sake, educate yourself. One easy thing to look up is a timeseries of deaths/year of Israelis due to Palestinian violence vs. deaths of Palestinians due to Israeli violence. That should do enough to dispel you of the idea that Palestinians are the terrorists in this case
