Diaspora brain (in the general sense) is kinda disastrous, especially when the immigrant generation grew up in a profoundly anti-liberal environment and the offspring generation can’t/doesn’t care to recognize it, but has the smarts to repackage ultra-nationalism as liberation.

My favourite form of this is actually when the diaspora community has a stance that is way less hinged than that of the actual residents of the place.
Like this goes beyond the Gaza issue. You see this a lot where some diaspora community will have some bugbear about a conflict back home and occasionally you’ll see liberals endorse it and it’s like uhh no that’s fucking crazy. Their “””Lived Experience””” doesn’t trump human rights. Use your brain.

I think just world fallacy and an inability to comprehend scale combine to make people think “the good ones“ exempt policy is possible when it comes to mass deportations or LGBT rights or a literal invading army.
My least favourite aspect of modern imperialism is the ‘little birthday boy’ routine every time it so much as looks like the people of said empire might face any consequences for its behaviour.

there have been multiple stories of middle school girls getting harassed with generated CP of themselves over the past few years and somehow the only AI fear that seems to stick is the fucking water

I feel sorry for those Polish troops they sent to Iraq in 2003. The deal was that Poland would pretend to believe aluminum tubes posed a threat to the safety of the free world in exchange for us being there when Ivan came knocking and now the president is like “Well, Ivan *does* have a point.”

The UK is a state that now experiences far-right pogroms every summer, mainstream parties call for the revocation of citizenship over social media posts and non-white MPs are accused daily of having dual loyalty. Absolutely rancid state of affairs.

i love how the system of authoritarian control also produces images that fabricate a reality where opposition is occurring. i love how this is a novel problem that we didn’t have less than a year ago but it is now at the center of every major online platform controlled by right wing billionaires.

But Vance came across as basically reasonable to normies in the VP debate.

It’s funny to say this about cars, a product that has gotten noticeably more reliable and better in my life time and which China is quickly innovating on.
The profit motive is at the heart of every single stupid, unnecessary change to the things you use. Capitalists can't increase their profits by making something that works well and keeping it the same, so they endlessly "innovate" to Make The Line Go Up
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Avatar’s cultural relevance discourse is an expression of slop anxiety, the worry that most people don’t actually want something interesting like you do, and you know what? It’s fine if they don’t. Cool stuff still gets made and you get to enjoy it.

You can buy a home nicer than anyone in the history of the human race lived in until at least 1997 for like five dollars in Mississippi and yet for some reason these guys don’t seem eager to move there.
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.
