Class solidarity of the top 10%. They own the media, they want the Republican agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and whatever else make them more individually wealthy.

It’s bottom ~70% who can’t seem to figure out what class solidarity is

Nice guy and “nice guy” are two different things

People used to laugh at me when I said America, as a leader and superpower, died when Trump won the first time. We have just been going forward due to inertia, but the bill will come due soon I fear

I would think in Utah plenty of teachers and firefighters voted R, but I would love to hear from someone who has better info than me. I worked with tons of union guys who were very proudly conservative and even hated the union they were in. The propaganda is strong in some…

You underestimate conservatives

Plot twist, it wasn’t forgotten. The person who wants the EU destroyed the most is probably Putin… Followed 2nd by huge corporations/monopolies.

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email

Nigga please, I always wore baggy shit

She was doing a good job gaining her Internet status. Oh well, her old stuff was great. I guess all good things come to an end

Not the ultra patriots, they think other people’s kids are dieing to keep us safe from … Communism? Socialism? Something like that?

Wtf? What exactly happened to her? A few years ago she was just talking about loving to drop acid 🤣

Right, but the US military is not fighting there

Bro, Trump doesn’t know shit about anything. Xi and Biden though know very well.

Does us vs them really require empathy? I always saw it as a lack of empathy - the empathy in tribalism seems to end at the tribe

Conservatives were always about what Trump is about, they only hid behind dog whistles pre-Trump, but nothing is different. The only difference, Trump was too dumb to understand he was supposed to not say the quite stuff out loud

Meta is just going to scrub all the Cara content into their AI system anyway. They have no fear because there are no real consequences

Good analysis, but I’d say your not taking a vital factor into account with “AI”, it’s only going to get better, and crooks, conmen, corporations, etc are going to find new ways to weaponize it. I use LLM’s often, and for my purposes, they are truly amazing (now that Google search is fucking useless)

Man I miss the real Solaris. Fuck Oracle. At least IRIX never turned to shit

I refuse to pay for a subscription where I don’t own the music. CD’s, records, tapes - I still do it. I do need to start ripping mp3’s off YouTube more though - just a matter of time before shit starts disappearing
