"maintaining stability" fuck off. what the US "maintained" was a terror regime to support the petrodollar empire and now it's falling apart. cry some more about your fallen fucking black sites
“.. With Saudi oil now blockaded, Americans are about to discover why maintaining stability in the Middle East and not handing it to a consortium of Russia and Iran was always important.”

We have a major Democratic law firm, two major party committees, and two media outlets dead to rights suppressing research into how digital fundraising firms scam seniors and barely a peep from the national press corps or elected officials.
A goddamn shame.

Maybe I’m missing something but I’m not seeing any second-day reporting on the DSCC and DCCC suppressing a political scientists’s report about their shady email + text fundraising practices.
I checked Google News and searched for related terms on here.
Anybody else seeing anything?

Average union soldier memoir: "at first I was like I signed up for this war, but is it really worth it? Then I saw the reality of chattel slavery and I had to be physically restrained from slaughtering every white southerner I encountered"
yes, most of what you know about the civil war came from people who weren’t there and had an agenda (shelby foote-esque southern sympathizers). people who were there described it as a jihad against the satanic plantation aristocrats
I’d never thought to use primary sources for historical research. Very cool.

industrialization is less about automating processes than about automatizing the people who work within them. given that "good enough" has no bottom here, slaughtering people wholesale may be one of the few areas (along with call centers) where AI can fully replace human labor
ludicrous to talk about "human decision" being "sidelined" when the AI itself is the decision. you don't use AI to get targets "right," you use it bc there's no target you could ever get wrong. you use AI when you've decided on industrialized slaughter and want a cheap way to scale up
