Didn’t the air force bomb a public rally and kill like 400 civilians?

Have these policies actually improved anything for the Argentine bourgeoisie? It seems like he’s just shooting himself in the dick with this libertarian nonsense.

If the Krauts could invent it 80 years ago, a modern, educated nation of 33 millions souls with access to the internet can certainly make it happen. They also have years of experience at this point and help from Iran (which is certainly overstated). The chauvinism that they must be Iranian missiles is infuriating to me. These sorts of capabilities are important to Ansar’Allah and they’re absolutely capable of manufacturing these. Why wouldn’t they? They’re human fucking beings with brains and educations. They’re not animals.

That’s the key here. You’ll never be able to get the smart human who knows what’s going on out of the loop, at least not with LLM-based ‘AI’, but it will be a very useful tool. Rather than a senior developer reading and fixing the code of half a dozen juniors, he’ll write half a dozen AI prompts and then fix the code they inevitably screw up. This won’t work for low-level or performant code, but for most of what people are working on it will work well enough. All the people learning to code now are fucked, but senior people with experience should be ok. The problem will come when they all retire in 20-30 years and software has been a dead-end job no one wants to get into for a generation.

No one wants to pay any attention to it and no one cares. I’d say that’s pretty great honestly.

Intense moralism combined with repressed nationalism. This same dynamic will lead to some switch flipping someday that turns them full-on literal Nazi.

He seems like he might be a good leadership candidate. 69 year old former Khuzestan Governor with a couple of advanced degrees and military experience as a medic. They’ve used him in a diplomatic role, meeting the Qatari Emir and negotiating the Shahed drone transfer to Russia. Doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would lead Iran in a different direction.

First guess!

That’d be a great place to stash some Israeli dissidents

I heard second-hand from one of his hookers that he likes to hire women for BDSM play with him as the top. Explains a lot really

Hopefully they make good user-friendly alternatives instead of letting their tech sector copy the worst rent-seeking practices of US firms.

Marijuana isn’t even cool anymore

See this line makes no sense to me. A two state solution is would help preserve Israel long-term. Heightening tensions threaten to lead to collapse. It’s not actually in Israel’s interests to pursue this kind of conflict, it’s happening due to a particular set of internal political contradictions. I also don’t read US support for Israel as some Machiavellian imperial plot. It undermines imperial interests pretty heavily to be constantly pissing off the whole Arab world. It forces them to rely on illegitimate and therefore weak regimes and constantly engage directly in the region to stymie organized resistance. It’s really just zionist ideology driving this whole endeavor.

I really disagree that support for Israel is just a straightforward extension of imperialist interests. It really is its own project that exerts outsized political influence even to the detriment of the imperialist project as a whole. The ambivalent attitude towards Israel by early post-war US governments demonstrates this. Truman and Eisenhower treated Israel on the basis of objective interests of the empire. US politicians in more recent times will sacrifice imperial interests to support Israel, and that is definitely due to their political influence and blackmail operations.

Peering deep into the TradCath rabbit hole and how they think Biden is some kind of satanist makes the secret Vatican agent Biden meme so much funnier.

IDK things just have this heavy inertia right now. It doesn’t feel like history is breaking free just yet.

There’s just no way. It would be the final strategic disaster. There’d be no strategic capacity left to deal with China. The US shied away from war 20 years ago when it might have been possible, now there’s no way, they can’t even deal with Yemen. The only move against Iran is to use Israel’s nuclear arsenal, and the leadership might get desperate enough to do so.

They’ll just do what Foxxcon did in Wisconsin, take the money, massively under-deliver (maybe ask for more money at that point), and then hope the failure will be too embarrassing for politicians to hold them accountable over it. At that point we’re another five years down the road, and China’s semiconductor industry has completely caught up or already absorbed TSMC along with the rest of Taiwan and the execs have other things to worry about.

Yes it’s king, but it’s also poisoning the competitiveness of US industrial firms along with all the structural maladies in the US that we can afford not to address because of the surplus extracted by our financial hegemony. The fact that we’re at the point where fiscal expansion is causing inflation despite the strong global role of the dollar, points to a terminal phase of the particular kind of dutch disease the US suffers from. Attempts to fix US industrial competitiveness are just pissing into the wind in this environment. US industry won’t revive until after its financial and monetary hegemony has collapsed. A smart US leadership would use its existing power to rebuild the foundations for competitiveness on a more level playing field, but US state capacity has atrophied. All they can do is funnel money to politically-connected oligarchs and placate industrial capital with half-measures. The current state of affairs suits China, and therefore BRICS quite well. They will continue to develop under current circumstances until they’re ready to move decisively against US interests, or until the US preempts this by starting a war early. Either way the US will lose, the only question is how destructive the conflict will be.
