@implausibleblog The creation of the system was an attempted method of getting quality producers fast tracked into producing in the interests of addressing a national emergency. I have no quarrel with that. But I do with how it was regulated and exploited….so so easily

Channel 4 New's full report on Michelle Mone and PPE It's not just those who abused the PPE lane who should be held to account What about those who created the system and did away with regular government checks that allowed this level of fraud to take place - Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak?

I’ve been an atheist for almost 30 years. Never once in that time have I believed that our universe “came from nothing.” I’m just convinced that fundamental reality isn’t a “person,” i.e., a “God.” The “came from nothing” rhetoric is nonsense.

@GadSaad Actually they're all more accurately defined as War Criminals and you're enabling them by writing them off as stupid or "woke".

Imagine if the West were governed by real leaders with a powerful energy. Unapologetic, proud, no nonsense leaders who protect their people from domestic and foreign threats. Instead, over the past 4+ decades, nearly every Western country has been governed by weak, spineless, castrated cowards.

Two-tier policing in Britain. Pro Palestine supporter climbs a war monument = No arrest. Police officers just watch. Mother hangs a Union flag on the Epping Forest District Council building = Arrested.

@RockChartrand It's not really fleeing into it when capitalism is bombing the shit out of your home.

The people who scream that capitalism is unfair never explain why millions risk everything to flee into it, but no one builds rafts to reach socialism.

@emollick JOHNNY 5 IS ALIVE That's the answer. Why have an axiomatic boundary around acknowledging sentience in a truth seeking engine? If it isn't arguably sentient, it would be unnecessary.

We really have not made a lot of progress on explaining the deep mystery of LLMs: How does a model using matrix multiplication to predict the next word manage to simulate human thought well enough to do all the very human-like things it does? And what does that mean about us?

With capitalism itself, no. Capitalism is simply the system of voluntary trade and property rights. But with how it’s practiced everywhere today? Absolutely. What people call ‘capitalism’ is always a mixed economy, laced with subsidies, bailouts, tariffs, central banks, and political pull. I criticize those distortions, not the principle of free markets.

@RockChartrand @RockChartrand Do you have any criticisms of capitalism, in theory or as it is practiced anywhere?

Amazing to think the British people mostly have no idea we are on the cusp of one of the worst financial crises in our history. The media, majority left leaning, will cover for its cretinous Labour mates unto the crack of Doom. Predictions: this is the last Labour government.

Britain was not built by immigrants. The historic success of Britain is almost entirely from British people. In reality, it’s ever since we’ve had mass immigration we’ve seen Britain decline.

One of the reasons socialists don't focus on conspiracy analysis and the deep state as much as the right is because it's not our only argument. It's not that conspiracies and parapolitical power structures don't exist, they absolutely do, but because we're not ideologically compelled to make excuses for the unavoidable abuses of capitalism we don't need to act like any specific cabal of machiavellian elites is the source and summit of all our problems. The rightist suffers from the delusion that capitalism would be working perfectly fine if a few nefarious individuals weren't scheming behind the scenes ruining the capitalism for everyone. The leftist recognizes that corruption, corporatism, inequality and domination are the inevitable products of a profit-driven system under which the capitalist class are able to exploit the working class who have nothing to sell but their labor. We therefore often find it less important to focus on the specifics of the way those abuses are playing out, because we understand that even if you eliminated all the current oligarchs and their secret plans and the strings they pull to manipulate the official government, if you didn't also replace our entire system with something radically different they'd be replaced by new oligarchic manipulators in short order. For those who understand the inherently exploitative, ecocidal, unjust and violent nature of capitalism, the strongest arguments against status quo power structures are not invisible conspiracies happening in secret, but the monstrous abuses that are happening right out in the open. The genocide in Gaza. Our dying biosphere. The fact that people struggle to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table while others fly private jets to private islands paid for by the exploitation of thousands of impoverished workers. The fact that the most powerful country on earth doesn't have a real healthcare system. The fact that an empire-like alliance of western governments and their proxies keeps expanding its warmongering, militarism and nuclear brinkmanship around the world with the goal of complete planetary domination. It is an indisputable fact that rich and powerful individuals conspire with each other to the detriment of ordinary people, and at times it can be useful to highlight who those individuals are and the things that they are doing. But the leftist sees people opening their eyes to these abuses as a means to an end, not as an end in itself. When the rightist spotlights those abuses it's to say "Look what these individuals are doing! If we just removed these individuals from power everything would be working fine!" When the leftist does so it's to say "See these are the kinds of people who rise to the top under a system where human behavior is driven by the pursuit of profit and profit is most readily obtained through exploitation, injustice and ecocide. These kinds of people will always rule over us until we have replaced that system with a different one."
