La juventud mundial se está volviendo inevitablemente facha y derechista. Son los tiempos. Por eso, en un récord histórico de participación, un 78% de los jóvenes de entre 18 y 29 años han votado en Nueva York para elegir a un alcalde inmigrante, musulmán y socialista.

the conversation we should be having is that AI is developing and will certainly displace many workers, and we should develop government programs to even out the losses and gains between workers and capitalists. but instead we argue about whether a trans person was on netflix

Generally not a fan of clickbait-y coverage of the far right. But I think there is an important qualitative difference between these two articles on a planned far-right 'whites-only' community in Arkansas.
And one article (Wired) is much more bearable than the other (NYT). Let me explain why.

Imagine being Hasret Icsen. You pay $1,015/month for a 3-bedroom apartment in a green, mixed-income building full of amenities. When you touch your home, you're touching climate progress.
This is Vienna's green social housing. As @NPR explains, we could do it here

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

So the starting point isn’t parties or policy platforms. It’s rebuilding epistemic foundations:
- Teaching critical thinking early, from K to 12
- Creating civic infrastructure that makes participation real
- Designing accountability systems people can actually trust

We need to embed verification, sourcing, logic, and information literacy not as extra modules, but as core cognitive tools, woven through every subject from K–12 onwards. This isn’t about resisting disinformation. It’s about surviving an epistemic environment with collapsing gatekeepers

This is the core of it. In the 20th century, verification happened inside institutions.
Now, it has to happen in us.

Who should do the fact checks with millions and millions of fake news? The nature of social media itself is the problem. However it probably is impossible to get rid of every social network and revert debates to pre 2010-status.

We despise immigrants for not putting down roots, even as we make sure that it is impossible for them to do so. We do this because we have no idea what we want.

For the first time since WWII, an extreme right party came 2nd in German national elections. Their rise was fueled by austerity and free market economics.
To defeat the far right, we must adopt an anti-fascist economic policy that provides an alternative to the status quo.

Many people have long argued that (sensible) regulation by making constraints can also help promote innovation rather than just hinder
DeepSeek is the flip side of the same coin: It innovated because of, not in spite of, its constraints. And now that it has upended the assumptions of the dominant AI paradigm, we should reject its costly trade-offs and seek new ways to develop AI without so many harms. 24/
