Maybe I didn’t fully understand, or maybe she’s just read too many tweets about D&G, but the argument seemed to be that ChatGPT and other LLMs are based on Talmudic logic and Maimonides (as opposed to western? Christian?) (because they have Jewish founders?) and that that’s bad and can make people psychotic if they don’t understand it? And that Ezra Klein’s Abundance is also targeted towards Jewish people because it talks about deserts? And there was a line she said at the end about “population control” that felt very ZOG conspiracy theory. I didn’t like how Brace and Liz sort of just let her talk and didn’t question or push back or clarify or anything.

Did the guest on the newest trueanon come across as anti-Semitic to anyone else?

AAAAH the french. champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence.

send like 50 times the number of people to participate than the rest of the world so it’s all pretty meaningless anyway.

There can’t be Israeli comrades because there are no Israelis. There are Palestinians, in what is Palestine, and there are hostile occupiers and settlers actively engaging in genocide. Zionism is and always has been a genocide project, there is no rightward shift anymore than the nazis had a right shift after the night of long knives. Far right to far right is far right.

Why worry about what online leftists post to vent their sorrow and anger in the face of that?

Rosa was murdered before the nazi party was founded

It’s a lot like movies from the Dprk if you’ve seen those. It beats you over the head with the message but I really liked it, especially as a picture of what they were trying to do in China then, and how different it was.

Oh sick missed this one. Walker is one of my favorite movies.

Definitely felt the same. A lot of the same arguments you’d see on the front page of reddit when veganism gets mentioned.

It would still be wrong to buy a product made with Palestinian slave labor even if there weren’t. No one’s really organizing boycotts of Hobby Lobby anymore but I still wouldn’t shop there.

No, I’m comparing purchasing decisions derived from ethical concerns. Just because the suffering of Palestinians experiencing genocide is far worse doesn’t mean that the exploitation of animals is okay, two things can both be bad even though one is worse.

I don’t think it makes someone an asshole to live according to their moral principles. Like, I wouldn’t help her buy a sodastream either. And it’s perfectly possible to explain to people why you aren’t comfortable doing so and offering to help in other ways. No one needs milk to live.

No, because cows still suffer and die for that milk. That said, if it’s her money you’re using and she would buy it anyway it really isn’t the biggest thing I don’t think.

No that makes sense. Be the person you’d want to be after things change is interesting, hadn’t thought about that. It’s easy to get lost in the daily struggle and lose sight I think.

it really isn’t difficult for me at all, and it does a little bit to stop me from participating in at least some suffering. Sort of like BDS, my participation probably doesn’t mean all that much in the grand scheme, but it does a little bit and helps me feel better about my place in the world.

Knowing the DNC, they’d want a candidate to the right of Biden. It’s time.
