@JamesEdward90_ @ProudSocialist He revised *history* as a race struggle. Marx revised history as a class struggle. Both considered “socialism” to mean political approach towards greater social benefit according to their worldview. Both were so erroneous they resulted in genocide.

Elon Musk called Hitler a socialist then Grok correctly debunks him by pointing out Hitler rejected Marxism and ran a fascist system that prioritized nationalism and private enterprise. Grok then explains socialism is class equality and worker ownership! Never deleting this app.

@vasalex93 @Daisuash @dwallacewells I have been to El Salvador many times both before and after Bukele, and it’s not exactly Singapore now it genuinely is night and day. Source: trust me bro? Or stats that are clearly observable when you visit? Nobody I know in Mexico feels safer since Sheinbaum.

@dwallacewells Mexican here. The government achieved this through changing the definition of crimes and hiding real numbers. Also, don't believe Viri, she's a known government cheerleader.

@Cccc1236356 @ProudSocialist The Nazis weren't Fascists, I'm afraid. Nazis and Italian Fascists (Gentile) were bad, yes, I’m not whitewashing anything. The mad ramblings of Marx (in reality Engels) were responsible for even more deaths and suffering than Fascists and Nazis.

@bcbweb @ProudSocialist Lmao, what a stupid argument. Assigning the mad ramblings of a fascist's warping of a set of ideals does not make them what they claim to be. These pedantic arguments are nothing more than trying to white wash fascists.

@bcbweb @ProudSocialist Explain how privatization of the national industries is socialist in any context, much less your ahistorical made up context.

@Michael56907782 @DrewPavlou The fact that you think all of “Europe” has exactly the same attitudes and values with regard to what you mention shows how little clue you have about Europe. Incidentally, India and South Asia is a much, much more racist part of the world than Western Europe.

@DrewPavlou Žižek is just another European racist. I like Europe a lot, but there's a basic level of hate toward the Roma and Jews, and a weird "noble savage" attitude toward Black Americans, and Africans that they can't seem to shake. That "India, god forbid" is ugly.

@anomo69 @Loinx23 @Alex_Oloyede2 Your emotional language doesn’t make you very compelling. All empires and cultures have been a mixture of good and bad. I’m sorry you are so tormented by your vitriol that life offers nothing more fulfilling to you than crying online and feeling like a victim

Eastern Europe > LATAM So many expat / nomad types are always shilling LATAM when Eastern Europe is better in basically every regard > Significantly safer > Much better infrastructure > Better food standards > “western sensibilities” so to speak > better architecture > more walkable > better technology > better health care > superior history and culture All that while the price of a GREAT EU capital city (think something like Tallinn or Riga) is the same price as a good capital city in LATAM (think something like Buenos Aires)

@BowTiedMara Is there a version for men to detect red flags in women? Or is that beyond even the omniscience of AGI?

The Argentine app some women use to rate dates before going out started in Buenos Aires eight months ago as a private project among friends. Today it has 22,000 users. It works like this: You upload screenshots of the chat of the guy you're talking to, and an AI analyzes patterns of manipulation, narcissism, passive aggression, love bombing, likely lies, and chances of being ghosted. Then it returns a score. "Emotional risk: 78/100" "High probability of infidelity" "Profile compatible with emotional dependency" "Language similar to men previously reported" Premium users can even connect the guy's Instagram and let the model analyze follows, likes, activity times, and changes in behavior. The creator is 27 years old and studied psychology at the University of Buenos Aires. She says the idea came about after a friend ended up hospitalized due to domestic violence. Lawyers want to sue her, while female users love her. Several men have started asking for screenshots of their own results on the app before accepting a date. The app is called FirstRedFlag and has a waiting list 😂

@Macuahuitl67 @WarMonitor3 It's a mixture of old wealth, middle-class migrants from poor South Asian and African countries larping as fancy Europeans, and mass migration of poor and mentally unwell people (mainly arabs, especially around the station area). I think old wealth hides out in the countryside.

@calvinfroedge I never understood how people could just shrug off news like "China quarantines a city of 11 million overnight". It made me go completely nuts, literally nobody in my environment believed me and thought I was crazy.

When I said in January 2020 that the world would lock down over coronavirus, I lost friends and colleagues. I was right, and they never came back later and asked how I knew. Will we lock down over hantavirus? Not sure yet, waiting on clear evidence they GoF aerosolized it.

@elonmusk There isn’t even a stable definition for socialism that people agree upon, so it’s a term that just generates conflict.

Wealth taxes are how you turn the EU into a distressed asset for private equity acquisition. Remember: a wealth tax on unrealised gains leads to forced asset selling by average Europeans, while carve-outs exist for those using offshore corporate vehicles. Any country implementing this policy (such as the Netherlands) is engineering a market crash and distressed acquisition strategy, designed to transfer wealth from retail investors to institutions, all wrapped in a “tax the rich” narrative. As with policies like this, it will be structured to transfer wealth upward, just like the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a real endgame asset-stripping policy, deliberately designed to engineer a crisis that would otherwise have been allowed to occur through normal market corrections. Manufactured crisis is the policy. And only those with offshore corporate structures and hard money to invest during distress will survive it. Of course, if you own a money printer connected to a central bank, then you will create the money needed to acquire distressed assets and privatise the gains while socialising the losses. Everybody needs to become far more financially savvy to survive the crises these policies engineer.

How Europe Is Designing a Tax System You Can’t Escape. The Netherlands is introducing a 36% tax on unrealized investment gains in 2028, even if you don’t sell your assets. The tax will be due each year on paper profits.
