Where’s the article?

I’m sorry to hear that.

And having to live paycheck to paycheck, and the threat of armed, government-sanctioned violence.

Okay, but they’re the ones staking their lives on Pizza Hut’s brand for their franchise instead of just making actually decent pizza under their own name and making an honest buck. I couldn’t care less about them seeing the consequences of their own selfish, greedy decisions.

They made a big deal when California minimum wage went up that they were going to fire every driver and use DoorDash.

The problem is you can’t solve certain problems from within the broken system.

Violence is that system.

It’s possible to go outside the system but without violence but it’s rare.

Thanks. It’s a lonely life sometimes.

The violence is what enables outside system fixes to be possible and those have been of varied quality.

To me it’s rather that the would-be fixers have just been tricked into thinking this violence is the solution when it’s not, causing their efforts to be short circuited. They might seem to get somewhere, but only far enough to satisfy their sense of victory or tire their whole generation out. Then the system which was never really beaten to begin with slides right back into our lives, putting the lie to the idea that violence was ever a useful solution.

But first they got tricked into thinking violence would get them to that point. Both failed to Solve The Problem.

If last time’s violence was so great, why did we still get this time? And every other time before that where violence bought a reprieve during which evil was given every advantage to regain what it lost and more? It has never solved anything for longer than a generation, and even then deals were being made in secret to preserve the evil, by the very champions of “good”.

If you read the article I think you might reasonably conclude that this is a tool to help you learn just that.

No, see, it’s okay to be a capitalist empire if you put “communist” in your country’s name!

Literally I feel like they’re just trying to say: “Hey this is a foreign language I’m sooo cooool!”

Okay, so why are you defending the avenue that suckers in people afraid of hellfire and tells them all the others are satanic?

You have no point, nothing of value to say. You just keep circling back to defending this christofascist bullshit. This conversation is over.

No, it’s not a different question, it’s just looking at the issue from further away than halfway up your nose.

You can, but can everyone? We’re talking about a demographic that only exists because they’re hypocrites who enforce their religion of peace through violence at every level of society. I don’t care if you think they have a choice because I already know how they feel like they have no other choice at all, because of the forces which shaped their worldview.

There’s nothing voluntary about it for the target audience, and that’s the only reason it could ever possibly succeed.

Is it voluntary? How voluntary? Is it voluntary like, something a random stranger might decide is best for them, or voluntary like someone was raised by an abusive religious family so this seems normal to them despite science proving it wrong? Voluntary like someone convinced them they’d go to eternal damnation if they didn’t go along with it?

And Jesus says literally everyone is sick and the only cure is to embrace selfless love for all. So why are they pretending they can fix it with draconian authoritarian dipshittery?

Oh, right, it’s because they don’t care about Christ, they’re just leaning on the social leverage provided by espousing a Christian identity. My mistake.

One of which spent an awful lot of time literally cuddling Jesus.

By all means, tell us nothing about your side of the story. That will surely help.

I sure hope not. I saw how that went in the Time Machine remake!

Maybe we’ll get lucky, and by the time the helium supply is restored, we’ve done away with the shitty not-really-AI craze, saving more helium for things of use to humanity.
