Yes.

I need my Tankie siblings to look at these comments and tell me it’s worth conversing with any of these people lmao, let them play in their own shit. If they’ll ever be convinced, the material failures of their worldview will do it for us, if not- the future’s ash and fertilizer welcome them.

Yes, funny that you mentioned the American perception of danger.

Any time I mention visiting a country outside of western europe / the caribbean tourist hell- I literally get told I’m going to be chopped up or murdered.

I think any american willing to travel outside of the aforementioned places is someone with a mind already changed. For me it only confirmed what I already knew about the rest of the world.

And some of your replies are very correct, and a surface level conversation with most american hogs will prove it: the majority have not traveled abroad and many aren’t even well versed in the states / workings of their own country.

I think the death penalty is silly even from an evil standpoint, death is a kind release compared to life in an American prison.

46% of people across 29 countries still believing that “the US will have a positive influence on world affairs” is insane

I’m choosing to believe that they think the collapse of US empire will have positive ripples globally

Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word “master” intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.

It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new “objective” truth will wield considerable power.
