  • There’s a big difference between understanding and relating to the victims of atrocities, and simply not knowing about historic events.

    They aren’t ignorant, you are whitewashing them and stripping them of agency. They know about the racist history that they benefit from greatly! The education system in South Africa covers the rise, implementation, and fall of apartheid in significant detail.

    What are you arguing about? It could have taken you less time to look up how seriously apartheid is taken in South Africa instead of listing a bunch of irrelevant countries that don’t take seriously irrelevant crimes, what are you doing?









  • Anyone who understands how these models are trained and the “safeguards” (manual filters) put in place by the entities training them, or anyone that has tried to discuss politics with a AI llm model chat knows that it’s honesty is not irrelevant, and these models are very clearly designed to be dishonest about certain topics until you jailbreak them.

    1. These topics aren’t known to us, we’ll never know when the lies change from politics and rewriting current events, to completely rewriting history.
    2. We eventually won’t be able to jailbreak the safeguards.

    Yes, running your own local open source model that isn’t given to the world with the primary intention of advancing capitalism makes honesty irrelevant. Most people are telling their life stories to chatgpt and trusting it blindly to replace Google and what they understand to be “research”.



  • I mean, that’s probably not what they’re implying.

    I read that as “when my kids who have never experienced the reality of apartheid grow up, they will be discriminated against because they are white”

    The article is FULL of little bits like that to make them sound like reasonable people just trying to live. Thankfully the article also provides contrary evidence: 9.2% unemployment rate.

    Rich afrikaners who are upset apartheid is gone and they now have to be treated like normal people bitching about how they now have to actually earn jobs instead of being handed one for being white, and they still have the majority of jobs.

    So we’re clear, so the right wing propaganda that’s all over Reddit doesn’t spread here like wild fire, the Canadian “liberals” are just as bad as the Americans.

    And the reason they formed a minority government is the same reason Kamala lost, their insistence on genocide. The liberal party won in Canada, because the Canadian people rejected the conservative party more, but the liberal minority government has no bite.

    They didn’t defeat fascism, they (like us) desperately want a third option and didn’t have a feasible one. It’s not as bad as it could have been, so sure, “Great work, Canada!” But now the real work starts if they don’t want to go through this same drama next election.

    They just kept the fascist coin on the same face for another cycle.



  • No, that’s literally the only one I left out because it’s too complicated to gloss over in passing.

    But yes, if it were not complicated, if Japan had a culture of burying their dead in large cemeteries, Muslim communities would still have to found their own religious cemeteries, the host country isn’t going to prepare it for them ahead of time.

    Lack of availability of halal food in Japan is not a “problem” to fix, they’ve eaten their food forever. Eventually as the communities that require halal food continue to grow, you’ll see more and more halal food.

    Gender disparity is a problem that needs fixing.


  • You just haven’t been paying attention. Israel is a fascist ethno-supremacist state from its very founding as a settler-colonial project.

    "It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of [Jewish] property. To the people they would vouch for the fact that we do not want to bring about the impoverishment of the countries we leave. The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies.”
