these people yelled for four years how Trump was the end of democracy but in even the most extreme hypothetical they cannot conceive that democracy might be dead as long as the ritual of voting for one of exactly two options is preserved.
Notice that China is the only group represented by an animal. My theory is that the cartoonist spent hours trying to draw Xi but every time their editor refused to publish their extremely racist caricature.
If you read through the linked twitter thread it seems like it’s a significant majority too. Obviously this is totally contrary to what Israel has previously claimed....
Hm, so you’re saying that every political faction “denies genocide and defends aggressive warmongering”? Could it perhaps be that every faction gets accused at one point or another of genocide and aggressive warmongering, and it’s your responsibility as a political person to use your brain to figure out who is lying?
I’m a leftist who isn’t a tankie. I don’t much care about China and I think the struggle for liberation can only be fought where we are at. I don’t uncritically accept the propaganda and the worldview of the state I seek to destroy at face value. Thus I do not accept claims about “genocide” committed by the US’ main rival without good evidence. Having principles and critical faculties are important to my politics. What about you? What makes you, someone who identifies liberals as “center-left,” significantly different from them? Your conditional support for Palestinian liberation?
like, “such and such country is committing genocide and covering it up!” is a very serious claim! fortunately, it is also very incredible. it’s improbable that mass murder of a population can go almost totally unnoticed except for reports and evidence from sources that are demonstrably untrustworthy. Just knowing who Adrian Zenz is should be making you suspicious unless you’ve completely disabled your bullshit detectors.
Part of developing mental maturity is coming to understand that other people might genuinely believe in a differing set of facts from you. And my facts are based on evidence.
“Freedom of the press” is a joke. I can see what our “free press” is doing with the butchery of Gaza. At a certain point you have to accept that your understanding of the facts is not, and has never been unmediated.
honestly presenting ethical questions under capitalism in this way makes it abundantly clear why the marketplace is the enemy of humanity. if there is someone who has the means and intent to do something like this, the only acceptable answer is to kill them and redistribute their wealth. nothing else comes even remotely close to solving the problem.
Actual source is Italdesign, the Italian company that designed this concept car for VW. It was built on the Golf Syncro, which was the first Golf with four wheel drive. Here is a good video explaining Italdesign’s automotive history leading up to the Orbit.
I don’t know if it’s not allowed, but it’s not good. Nothing here looks like anything. Even ignoring the meaningless labelling, if a human made this, I would wonder if that human had any brain at all. Why the tube? What is that window for? What is that spectrogram (??) strip. Why is there a camera lens? I do think it’s interesting that we have the technology to collate and mush up all these design elements together, but I believe that clarity and economy are both important elements of good industrial design, and AI is capable of neither.
