Let’s also remember that AI has many different meanings. It depends on what technology they’re using. AI is just literally a type of computer program that can be used for a variety of things.

Not banning good people, banning wrong people.

You are running into the individualistic vs societal issues problem. A big component of fighting back is taking on corporate power via industrial regulation.

It opens the process in the background.

I was hoping you’d play along :’(

My stock 2016 MacBook is still running strong.

Cool

I have been doing IT since 1867 and I’ve never run into an issue.

Banning ideas and opinions is not banning fascism. But let’s start over. First, they banned me. All I did was say that banning people for having the opinion “Israel should exist as an entity” is authoritarian. I wasn’t even defending Israel, which, like I said, people should be allowed to do as part of normal freedom of speech.

Second, I didn’t even say anything extreme, like “you should be hanged for treason!” or some such nonsense. I said “you have the right to ban people for whatever you want since it’s your instance, but I think that’s fascist if you do so.” And they banned me. Do you think that’s even remotely normal behavior?

Banning people for their behavior and conduct is perfectly reasonable. Also, if some Israel defender comes in and says “I don’t care how many children need to be killed, it’s worth it,” then I think you have every right to ban them. Advocating murder is crazy shit. But simply saying “Israel has a right to exist” or something similar as being ban worthy? That’s absolute ghoulish authoritarianism. There’s no such thing as “banning fascism” because this is just a discussion forum.

Fascists. Authoritarians. Whatever you want to call them. I’ll explain. They submitted a proposal to ban all “Zionists or Zionist apologists” and I objected on the grounds that it is, objectively, the very fascism they were denouncing. They banned me simply for suggesting this. That’s what I’m talking about.

Since you do not understand even the smallest aspect of what I said, you are not in a position to make such a judgment.

“Strong left bias” is not bias, it is just a reflection of normal human decency. If you mean that fake leftists like the dbzero fascists are around a lot, I would agree and it’s a problem.

I am totally with you on this. These are just normal people going about their day. Why was someone even snapping this picture? Probably to ogle the woman.

I genuinely do not understand what the complaint is. If people are interested in non US things, please, by all means go discuss those things, but please don’t act like it’s weird how it is now.

I’ve been saying this for years. Satan is the good guy in the Bible.

In case anyone didn’t see, there were tons of reactionaries online saying that she was an activist and “fuck around and find out” etc. Just the most disgusting craven nonsense imaginable.

Sort of. I am highly skeptical of anyone who jumps to use that term when people are complaining about particularly egregious corporations/practices, but at the same time, if you denounce people for buying Harry Potter shit then I think you’re nuts.

That’s what’s so funny about the postwar order. Could you imagine if these same clowns found out the CIA was funding feminist magazines and such? They’d help those movements so much.

It was censored right next to it not being censored. Rather amusing.

Oh in terms of using it as mockery? Now I understand. That went over my head.
