  • And calculators can’t be tweaked to subtly change messaging to push a narrative, or a product, or whatever.

    the internet does the same! so TV! they can do the same with books! i think we should burn them, what do you think?

    Calculators didn’t steal the work of all humanity to try to put them out of a job.

    ai didn’t do that either, it was capitalists. and as far as i know its a good thing that they “steal jobs” having less jobs means you can play more. except under capitalism. oh, so it seems you’re complaining about capitalism here, ok, let’s move on.

    Calculators don’t really get used for scams by cloning people’s voices.

    ok, away with e-mail, i got an e-mail that was clearly a scam a couple of weeks ago.

    Could go on and on how calculators and LLMs are different.

    yes, you could. the issue is that you’re not complaining about AI, you’re complaining about tangential stuff to ai, most of which are not AI directly or are temporary shit that can be modified. sure, water issue. that changes. processing power. that can be more efficient and it will be. so fucking please complain about AI.






  • Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy. There is just as little ground for thinking that Social-Democracy can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution.

    This is what this person means, this is what you need to understand. It means not that they are not different, but that they are too the same thing under different light.


  • hey, thanks a lot that you liked it! do you mean having cantonese instead of the kanji widget or as a language for the extension? i also been working on it and making it a self hosted app which should make things a bit faster and what not, although it requires installation. this version should have a few more niceties like being able to do crazier setups and stuff. this is how it currently looks:


  • i think i explained it pretty clearly, but ok. i guess in even simpler terms the issue is that they are a reactionary right wing ideology disguised as leftism. you can see from the recent betrayal by mamdani that democratic socialism can’t achieve anything at all. it’s essentially a zionist movement created with the purpose of coopting anti zionist movement into doing nothing at all.

    this is not at all what the european leadership cares about, they’d be happy to exploit the world until you need to buy air cans in order to breathe. furthermore you cannot do policies like that, you have people who need to eat, heat, and produce. this only hurts working class europeans, this will cause a crisis and depression. let’s not masquerade a clear act of finance capital as some sort of progressive win. don’t get me wrong, i won’t shed a tear for you people suffering, it’s time you get a taste of it after so many centuries of all the barbarism you people committed. you are the scum of the earth, and the pariah for all that is good. but in all of this it will not be the ones that actually have to pay the price for their sins that suffer.







  • that’s because “orthodox” in the case of marxism is largely a matter of optics. the mensheviks could be considered orthodox simply because of their ties to russia, the bolsheviks, and so on, but when we analyze their policies we realize they were simply opportunistic and reactionary. today the term is widely used in the sense i describe. essentially to differentiate between actual revolutionary movements that did not abandon class struggle, and eurocommunism which is essentially red liberalism in circlejerk academia groups.



  • no, marxism leninism is considered the “orthodox” reading by many. the orthodox being not abandoning class struggle as the main moving force of history. which is essentially what eurocomunnism introduced in the west. rejection of class struggle. introduction of communist parties into electoralism. abandoning armed struggle. supporting liberal policies and the liberalization of the party.
