  • When I remark to Jews that we all are responsible for ending Zionism and the ongoing Palestinian genocide, I usually hear, “Not all Jews / Say Zionists, not Jews / There are actually more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones.” Well I am speaking to Jews right now, a people who support fascist Zionism in lockstep across every institution in our community.

    The article even directly addresses this hand wringing in its opening paragraphs. It’s the norm for Jewish communities to not only approve of Zionism but to directly materially support it because the religion is so deeply enmeshed with colonization at this point. Every Jew therefore has a responsibility to destroy the Zionism within Judaism because whether they like it or not, they are involved in this. They can either contribute towards ending it or perpetuating it but there is no neutral stance.

    The responses here remind me of how Americans get when a foreigner denounces the US. “Hate the government not the people,” “I didn’t ask for this either,” “I just live here.” Ok guys then fucking do something about it.


  • You have to use the pipe character | between each entry on the table. And between the header and the data, you need to define how many columns there are with hyphens. It’s weird but look at my comment’s source for an example. The spacing between the pipes and text doesn’t matter bc that gets formatted away.

  • These guys have such a thick accent that I had to replay the video multiple times to parse what they’re saying omg. And I still don’t fully get what they said. For posterity, I’ve written down what I understood but someone help me out here. (The parts that I’m not clear on are bracketed)


    Ya sé cómo demos, cómo demos ya [con cuidado.]

    Lo bueno que tiene el AK es que yo sé manipularla, yo sé [limpiarla.]

    Esto es una máquina, líder.

    Si el líder está aquí, se le hace [ahora ahora.]

    Esta la voy y le pongo un silenciador, y se fue. Se fue [ya de una.]

    Esta es el agarre de la empuñadura que lo tiene, mira. Un agarre de madera que parece que tiene un tirapiedra agarrado por ahí, mira. Qué cosa más incómoda, ¿mm? Madera. Que eso se parte. Esto no es confortable.

    Pero esto no sirve, de todo para los muchachos para que entrenen o algo.

    Ay, que eso no sirve ni para entrenar.

    Esto es Zastava hecha en Serbia. Esto es Zastava. Lo que no es: la Zastava que dice [Harvey] que es la que está modernizada. Esta es la Zastava vieja. Esto es lo más cerca que hay de un AK47 Ruso. Lo más cerca.

    Pero no sé si funcione la Zastava [siendo de nada.]

    Si tú de lejos como esto parta a cualquiera, imagínate tú de hasta quinientos metros nomás que es el alcance efectivo, ¿eh? [¿Maten o eh?]


















  • Would you approve of AI if companies bought licenses from the artists in their training data? Is this the underlying issue for you, that capitalists aren’t playing by their own rules? This is a reasonable grievance but it’s hardly communist.

    Regarding labor, don’t you want people to work less? Yes the machine takes less manpower than a human. That’s potentially liberatory. Of course under bourgeois rule, this technology is used to suppress the wages of artists. But that’s true for everything, which is why the problem is capitalism itself and why we shouldn’t cede control of this new technology to capitalists.

    Also I don’t mean to put words in your mouth. I asked those questions to get you to think about how the anti-plagiarism laws you want for AI would manifest in real life. And I said that you’re an advocate for expanding intellectual property because you’re implying that artists should have more protections against having their work copied. When an artist’s work cannot be copied without the right granted to you, then they hold the copyright, a form of IP. This is shortsighted because those who are most able to defend their IPs and who have the most IPs to defend are not solo artists, but corporations. Broaden copyright laws and you’re directly giving power to Disney and the like.

    P.S. chill out, damn. You’re being snarky as hell when both me are memorable have been formal with you. I’m not trying to dunk on you and this isn’t reddit.
