@gem_ste @salfordsmith61 I know a guy who was imprisoned for trying to leave.

@salfordsmith61 Propaganda, the illusion of freedom & because with the threat of an actually existing alternative, the postwar West was forced into giving workers historic concessions and a higher standard of living which has been stripped away since the fall of the Wall cede.uff.br/wp-content/upl…

Yep, East Germany provided its citizens with a ‘low-competition collective society’ in which socializing and enjoying leisure pursuits was at the centre of life free from the constant fear of precarity, (which we call freedom) that citizens in the West deal with today.

It's all coming apart. A whole new world is being birthed before us.

Ha-Joon Chang compares mainstream economics to Catholicism in the Middle Ages. “Economics today resembles Catholic theology in medieval Europe: a rigid doctrine guarded by a modern priesthood who claim to possess the sole truth. Dissenters are shunned.”

The government of Ontario is running ads for small modular reactors in our local German newspaper 🤔

@BrianSozzi The West is blind to its fossil path dependencies, that also makes it predictable. China is simply acting rationally in the context of climate change, which is also good power politics.

Goldman Sachs: "China looks better placed than most in this oil shock"

@derhagemann @Bangsaen_ Ich möchte mich beim Autofahren gerne auf Glück verlassen.

Humans: 100% Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37% GPT 5.4: 0.26% Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok-4.20: 0.00% François Chollet just released ARC-AGI-3 -- the hardest AI test ever created. 135 novel game environments. No instructions. No rules. No goals given. Figure it out or fail. Untrained humans solved every single one. Every frontier AI model scored below 1%. Each environment was handcrafted by game designers. The AI gets dropped in and has to explore, discover what winning looks like, and adapt in real time. The scoring punishes brute force. If a human needs 10 actions and the AI needs 100, the AI doesn't get 10%. It gets 1%. You can't throw more compute at this. For context: ARC-AGI-1 is basically solved. Gemini scores 98% on it. ARC-AGI-2 went from 3% to 77% in under a year. Labs spent millions training on earlier versions. ARC-AGI-3 resets the entire scoreboard to near zero. The benchmark launched live at Y Combinator with a fireside between Chollet and Sam Altman. $2M in prizes on Kaggle. All winning solutions must be open-sourced. Scaling alone will not close this gap. We are nowhere near AGI. (Link in the comments)

@guanchewarrior @clashreport @grok He is not really a german politician because his party (FDP) failed to enter parliament. His role was head of DIG, which is just a NGO. New head of the DIG is not much different tho: spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…

@clashreport "Long time pro-israel child-abuser". This combo is a job requirement in Germany for political leaders. @grok is it a job requirement for German politicians to be a pedophile? Be honest!

Hartmut Ebbing, former German FDP member of Parliament and longtime pro-Israel advocate, served as treasurer of the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft (DIG), was caught with child sexual abuse videos. In 2025, he was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material and received a 10-month suspended sentence. Parts of the proceedings were held non-public at his request, citing potential damage to DIG and pro-Israel work. In March 2026, a regional court convicted him of child sexual abuse involving his partner’s young son, sentencing him to 2 years and 10 months in prison (not suspended). He resigned from DIG only after the 2026 charges became public.

@tenyearsnow It was immediately obvious to me that the American people should have trusted this birds endorsement.

@eirshy @punished_daniel x.com/ChenGonSol/sta… Here is me unsuccessfully trying to protect Timdog from the mind virus in 2015.

So you claim, and yet I was literally on the boats of the first exodus. And, friend, let me tell you. You need to go back to reddit.

Start here if you want to learn what's happening with the strait of Hormuz

@eirshy @punished_daniel No I was there, I watched it first hand.

@ChenGonSol @punished_daniel You really just take everything that the media, which was the primary antagonist in Gamergate, says about GG as gospel, don't you? Ever thought that maybe the journo class would lie about the people they fought? And use their soapbox to amplify their lies?

@eirshy @punished_daniel GGators were psyoped by an ugly fuck and his pedo friend. This isn’t the fault of „the left“ or „woke“ but only your their own.

@ChenGonSol @punished_daniel You know you could save everyone a lot of time if instead of posting such an obvious gaslight, you just post a picture of a gas light and call it a day.

@eirshy @punished_daniel Politics wasn‘t attacking you. The far-right gave you an age old boogieman and you went for it like rabid dogs. It was sad to watch.

@ChenGonSol @punished_daniel No, it was very much we woke up to politics. Because politics was attacking us. The right's attempt to gain our favor would not have worked if not for the then-far left punching us in the face repeatedly.

@Zr05cd @amritwt He argued against speed limits, the Autobahn wouldnt work without speedlimits.

@ChenGonSol @amritwt It works fine. One of the wonders of the world. It’s nice to be able to take a car to 200kmph safely. I don’t actually understand why people living elsewhere buy fast cars.

Peter Thiel is driving with his friends far more aggressively than necessary like a racetrack. His driving eventually attracts the attention of the California Highway Patrol, and he is pulled over. When the officer asks if he knows how fast he was going, the others in the car feel a mix of relief and anxiety, glad the reckless driving has stopped but nervous about the consequences. Thiel, however, remains completely calm and composed. Instead of answering directly, he questions the very idea of speed limits, suggesting they might not make sense as a concept. He goes further, framing speed limits as a potential violation of personal freedom and even hinting that they could be unconstitutional. The officer is left silent.

@eirshy @punished_daniel They just iterated over semantics to reintroduce old grievances to new audiences. Gamers were one of the first (and easiest) targets. They didnt „wake up to politics“, they got immersed in reactionary propaganda.

@ChenGonSol @punished_daniel Correct on that front (though your phrasing sucks). GG is what woke up a ton of gamers to politics, and Trump 45 doesn't happen without 8ch, which doesn't happen without GG. This is also why They made sure 8ch got overrun with Q-tards, so as to disarm it.

@Zr05cd @amritwt Autobahn wouldnt work without speed limits. Thiel is a dickhead.

@amritwt Hes German and used to the Autobahn. I use the defense of the Autobahn in Germany (freedom etc) to explain the defense of gun laws in the US to other Europeans.

@JuergenZimmerer @MattHGoldmann Rassismus und Islamophobie sind essenziell bei der WeLT.

Mein Post schlägt Wellen, deshalb doch noch einige Worte der Erläuterung. 1. "muslimischer Sklavenhandel" ist längst zum Dogwhistle islamophober, völkischer Gruppen geworden 2. Wissenschaft verschweigt weder muslimischen noch afrikanischen Beitrag zur Sklaverei 3. Wer über musl. Sklaverei spricht, sollte von christlicher und antiker nicht schweigen. 4. Transatlant. Sklavenhandel unterscheidet sich in wesentl. Facetten von obigen Phänomenen: v.a. die absolute Kommodifizierung, 5. Zusammen mit der Dimension ist es deshalb schon gerechtfertigt, sie von anderen Formen der unfreien Arbeit zu unterscheiden. 6. Nicht das Angebot ist für transatlant. Sklavenhandel verantwortlich, sondern die Nachfrage der Europäer. 7. Kampf gegen "arab. Sklavenhändler" diente schon Koloniallegitimation. Hier zeigen sich interessante Kontinuitäten. 7. Kronzeuge der Rechten ist Egon Flaig. Sein Buch wurde von der Wissenschaft zurückgewiesen. Die Argumente der Wiss. sollte man zur Kenntnis nehmen.

@Irishgeezah @battleforeurope Centuries. Pedophilia and child „marriages“ were central pillars of the monarchies that ruled Europe for like 1000 years. Its an inherent aspect of unchecked power structures.

@battleforeurope Peak western political establishment entitlement. If it's not obvious now, it never will be but the Epstein Files are just the tip of the iceberg. This behaviour is endemic across the west and has been for decades.

What have I just read?
