noticing a lot of americans trying to find any excuse to justify using AI, by now falsely claiming that people in other countries Actually Love AI And Support It. seeing this claimed abt leftists in brazil which is laughable considering leftists there also hate AI

yall see the news today of journals trying to shove AI in the reviewing process. yall see the liberal figureheads drinking the koolaid and going down the slop rabbithole. no one wants this shit and the only people who do are either the ones who benefit from it or people who lose brain cells to it

apparently theres a discourse on tumblr about like, who is "more homeless" than other people? what the hell are we doing, how is that remotely productive to punch horizontal at one another over who had worse experiences. someone couchsurfing is not the enemy of someone on the streets

...yeah those people exist but they sure as fuck arent common nor in power, so why the hell give them focus. anyone serious whose experienced that shit knows to not be an asshole and recognize that ppl can do whatever the hell they want with their money in that position, isnt anyones business

ill be honest i think muckraking journalism should be the default and attempts at "objective" journalism should be laughed off the fact that its got enough derision among the gentry elite that the term emerged as an insult is a testament to the degree that mainstream journalism is a joke

no one pictures a modern mainstream journo when they picture one thats honorable. they think of the ones running into danger, the ones uncovering stories that risk their lives, the ones actually fighting for a cause that matters pretending that someones objective just cause they have money is nuts

ill leave yall with one of my favorite songs, which i listen to like at least once a week. architects by rise against. i think the lyrics are rather self explanatory. music.youtube.com/watch?v=NR3x...

look, in the end, every one of us is going to die. we like to pretend we wont, but its inevitable. death comes for us all. when its your time, will you prefer having lived your life hiding away in fear, or standing up for what's right? making an actual impact in others' lives, actually helping ppl?

like... we talk about wanting to be on the right side of history. everyone does, its a way to feel some type of justice in a world filled with evil but if youre not actually working to fight injustice, youre part of the problem. privately held views dont keep people from getting killed.

you dont need to be a superhero and save everyone, but you should fucking be a part of movements trying to protect other people's lives. you should be a part of movements trying to protect others' lives. you dont need to be a leader, you just gotta do *something* to help make a tangible, real impact

i think the real thing that makes someone a leftist is when you start to actually give a shit about movements and issues that don't affect you. anyone can stand up for things that affect them. but it takes actual principles to stand up for groups you're not a part of. most people dont do this.

im just so so so so tired of seeing people who proclaim themselves leftists turn around and praise the oppressors of other people. its spineless and disgusting.

reminder that history doesnt have to repeat itself and you dont, in fact, need to hand it to the fascists for blatant propaganda. reminder that bootlicking and siding with the fascists out of fear when they give you the smallest of boons is what fucking got us in this mess in the first place

stop living your life motivated by fear and start thinking about why the world is the way it is, and focus on actual god damn solutions and not just doomscrolling until you find something that makes you feel good and jumping on that as your savior

i will be honest the weird amount of sudden praise for the navy and marines from a bunch of trans people for allowing a handful of trans soldiers to keep doing imperialism that im seeing on this site is deeply uncomfortable, especially seeing people praise a meme about a pro-trans nazi as "based"

or does it not matter to yall because the military kills brown people across the world. idk im just begging people to be fucking consistent and not to clap like seals at what is very clearly table scraps given as little more than PR for military recruitment. legit propaganda shit
