You don't fear the Soviets you love them. The Soviets are the friend of the right wing because the Soviets weren't Communists they were oligarchs and right wingers and you love them.

That's why you can have Daddy Trump fucking kids and doing whatever the fuck Putin says and just loving every moment of it.

The US Republican party is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the KGB and Soviet Russia under a different brand name. You're not fooling anyone. Go back to worshiping your kiddy fucker.

Did it take to get that nonsense modded up to +4.

It's impossible to have conversations with the right wing because the right wing never does anything in good faith. The second you do anything in good faith on the right wing you stop being on the right wing.

The right wing is about obedience. You obey the people above you on the chain and you get obedience from the people below you. That's why it appeals to so many people. For some they are cowards that want order and want to feel like somebody is in charge and for a lot of them they are losers who desperately crave respect but are incapable of doing anything worthy of it.

And that's why the right wing will always support kiddy fuckers. So long as those pedophiles are above them on the chain they are unquestionable and can do no wrong. And Trump is at the absolute top of the right wing chain. So he can go around fucking kids and still get solid support from 1/3 of the country.

Meanwhile foreign nations are using the destructiveness of right-wing politics and economics to obliterate America.

Honestly I think those foreign nations are being stupid. They do not understand how crazy and dumb Americans are and they haven't realized that although we may be destroying our economy we aren't doing the same to our military. Sooner or later we're going to hand nuclear launch codes to religious lunatics and then it's game over.

But in the meantime you'll be able to say the n word in public and get away with it and people will tell you Merry Christmas and you won't have to look at trans girls except when you're masturbating.

Oligarchs and billionaires do.

Getting worried about government is like getting worried about a hammer. I'm not worried about the hammer I'm worried about the psychopath bashing my head in with it.

What's funny is the same people who tell me gun control is bad also tell me that we should ban hammers.

For the depressingly large number of people who don't get the analogy see, government is the hammer here and conservatives demand we eliminate government without understanding that is both impossible and leaves a giant power vacuum that billionaires are very happy to exploit.

You've got Google you could leave your bubble anytime you want. You could for example use Google to find multiple news stories and lots of direct evidence of exactly what I described. You could find lots more direct evidence of right wing media being inorganic and billionaire backed too if you care to leave your bubble.

But golly gosh gee isn't it comfortable there?

I mean until it's not. The other thing the internet outside your bubble is full of is people who are just fucked eight ways from Sunday because of right-wing trickle down economics.

If you're old enough you will die before it hits you. Good luck.

When this bullshit crashes the economy. Unlike the 2008 market crash the upcoming grifter crash is going to have no floor because there's no actual assets behind it except your 401k.

There's only so much money laundering can do. A recent study found. Since 1975 80 trillion dollars has been moved to the top. So consumers are not going to be able to weather this. Especially with the collusion going on for rent that was just starting to get eliminated before the administrative change.

I think the problem is we have too many old people who think they are insulated from this. By the time they find out they aren't it'll be too late.

When you suggested this cyber truck was better than literally any product. Those fake leather boots being sold on YouTube or a better product than the cybertruck.

The problem with electric trucks is the range when fully loaded. I think that they would be useful for municipalities that need a work truck that putts is around fixing a few things but if you're actually going to haul things in it the range drops to about 100 to 150 miles before you need to charge and the people I know that drive around a lot in a truck do about 300 in a day.

The cybertruck is too unreliable to be used for any of that though. It's the ultimate pavement princess.

I've heard that the rivian is okay but it's kind of expensive and it's a smaller truck than the F-150 lightning.

All that said most of the people I've seen online who own one bought it for a pavement princess. I haven't seen a lot of people buying electric trucks as work trucks. I think if they could get the rain shop another 30 or 40, maybe 50% then the electricity versus gas would bring people in.

When it comes to work trucks I can tell you that people are going to go have the best for their pocketbook

Because there weren't very many of them and most of them were out in the open. Also none of them were directly interfering with my country's politics.

There's a huge difference between somebody trying to support a political cause in their country and someone trying to encourage right-wing extremism in another country because they know right wing extremism leads to bad outcomes

Also Trump fucks kids. I mean you're not seriously asking that question in good faith so I thought I'd bring up the fact that Trump is a pedophile since what you're really looking for is to cause trouble. And while it is absolutely true that Trump fucks kids like we have tons of evidence of it and guys like you are still happy to make him president, that doesn't mean that Trump doesn't fuck kids it means Trump is a kiddy fucker and a pedophile

For a brief period of time Twitter was revealing the IP address locations of users and virtually every right wing influencer was located in Russia or Pakistan with a smattering of them in India.

Surprisingly I don't think they were very many out of China.

These were accounts pretending to be Americans to incite Americans into right-wing politics.

And there were a *lot* of them.

I don't think I would give up internet anonymity for the sake of shutting down those accounts. And besides it would only be a matter of time before they fired up vpns. And I don't think I would give up free access to vpns for the same reason.

But I understand why countries outside of America are looking at doing just that. They see what's happening over here and they don't know what to do about it.

I would rather see more education and teaching critical thinking but especially in America we can't have that. If you start teaching kids how to think critically they are going to point the skills at whatever sacred cows their parents have and that gets really unpopular really fast especially with religious texts.

"Wing trolls always mod me down."

Don't know who "wing trolls" are but they get something right.

Same sad asshole making the same sad remarks. Don't like it? Move to Russia.

And that's not meaningful growth. It doesn't make more stuff or more services or make life better for anyone it just replaces jobs.

Is there a competition for dumbest post?

"Athiest tech-bros wanna build a god..."
Citation please.

"They hate God..."
You cannot hate what doesn't exist. This is a statement from an ignorant theist.

"...they seem to almost forget that they claim not to believe he even exists."
Atheists make no such claim, they merely reject your claim. "God" is not even an atheist concept.

"But now they want to build the very thing they hate."
So you don't know what "God" is OR what AI is. Good job, you are /. stooge of the week.

"...just how ignorantly infected humans are with the Disease of Greed."
And what are LLMs trained with? The output of humans. LLMs will be just as infected.

"And it will have fuck-all to do with country lines, religions, or skin colors. We are ALL the same. Infected."
And yet we already know that LLMs express full-on racism, wonder why that is?

"Remove the profit motive, and we suddenly find ZERO justification to build the fucking machine."
Of course we do, it's just NOT what is being pursued.

It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid /. posters are. This posters sees clearly some basic facts, then comes to absurdly wrong conclusions.

"Musk wanted AI to be open source. OPEN AI. A non-profit."

Musk wanted other people's work free for his taking. All the profit for HIM.

"Altman closed-sourced and for-profitted Open AI."

Altman did what he planned to do.

"That is the source of their disagreement."

They have no disagreement, they have wild agreement. That's the problem.

"You don't have to like someone to give them credit when credit is due."

And yet you can't.

"He has had some good talking points in the past. He has a good sense of what morality would do the world some good..."

That's a YOU problem. Elon Musk has always been a sociopath, he has no "good sense" of anything, what he has is a mastery of manipulation.
