It’s actually kind of an open secret at this point that he got an actor to do his radio addresses lol. Also interesting to note that the only data we have wrt his popularity at the time is the 1945 election in which he absolutely shat the bed. He’s been subsequently sainted as part of the ‘tiny island, standing alone’ myth making of the post-war era though
I feel like you lose a lot of credibility when your geopolitical analysis hinges on boners. I think very few would disagree with you if you said that Putin were cynically pursuing his and the Russian state’s interests in the region, with complete disregard for civilian life.
The point is not that there are ‘a tiny number of Nazis’ in Ukraine The point is that there are a large number of Nazi paramilitary forces who were committing mass murder in Donbas well before the Russian invasion, and the Ukrainian government was complicit in these crimes, in addition to crimes of their own, such as shelling civilian targets. By all means, let’s talk about ending the conflict, because the suffering of the people of Ukraine has gone on long enough, but a necessary first step is acknowledging that the conflict had already begun long before Russia invaded.

Lots of good points in the replies here, but I want to make the perhaps secondary point that the automation of thought is generally just bad for you. Dgmw AI (even LLMs) has its uses, but we’re already seeing the atrophying effects on some people, and in my experience as a teacher I have seen a number of people for whom chat bot dependency has become a serious problem on a par with drug addiction. I dread to think what’s going to happen to these people when we enter the ‘jack up the prices’ phase of the grift, let alone the ‘have you considered product/voting X may solve your problems’ phase, which is currently only being held back by engineering difficulties.
Lmao at the notion cinemas hire a for specific ‘janitor’ role

How is it for getting into corners?
This is like in the 00s when every comic book artist was obviously using 3D modeling software but none of them would admit to it. You can’t expect artists to be honest about this sort of stuff because they’d just be putting themselves at a disadvantage to the ones who lie about it. Furthermore, it doesn’t really matter, does it
I think if they could have seen into the future they would have noted that their descendents are all rich, and that the anglo empire has continued into the 21st century, although with its capital in a different place, and said “carry on”

Ngl I do get the arguments against gun control in the abstract, and I’m maybe even sympathetic to some of them, but then I look at America and ehhhhhh

Op isn’t saying that anarchist organizing principles are deliberately inefficient at scale
