Taxes do not fund anything. The American people are not directly responsible for paying to develop weapons in the military. It's the people in power and a facade of democracy that's the problem. Democratic government are not there to enact the will of the people. There is still a oligarch style rule going on. Money rules whoever or whichever party comes to power. And Israel lobby has USA by the balls. They own the richest corporations in the US and throw money at US politicians who will send money to Netanyahu. They are incredibly biased and powerful. You can say whatever but average Americans are not funding a genocide. It's just that the governments are disconnected from the will of the people.

@Husseinisdoingfine Thanks. I see you can relate to it nicely. `

I hope they don't starve those people to death.

Thanks for the quick response and action. 🤝🏻

@OBEler @Sincerity I think this topic is more appropriate in the society/politics section. Would you be willing to move it over there?

I live under one, although a much more watered down version of it. I know it's shit. I am seeing the same patterns over and over again and they are slowly collapsing just like every other socialist government did. The world has accepted that fact long time ago and moved on. Communism effectively died by 1991. We are merely seeing all the good that came out of it inspite of all the tragedies it caused. Of course the tragedy part is well emphasized. You can see how Russian art is drenched in nihilism & depression. Even their architecture reflects that. That's what communism implies. To give up the individual for the sake of the community. It drains the souls of the individuals. But it was not for nothing.

Yup. My mother tells me that the newspapers and magazines that were in circulation in the 70s & 80s while she was in school was mostly soviet inspired magazines. Hell even there is a communist party that is ruling the state I am in. All of them drew heavy inspiration from USSR, and some of then even expect them to come back to their former glory. For real though, Britan & US really thought that India would end up like some shithole like banana republics in South America. They tried to pull of their destabilization schemes in India although none of them quite worked. They still fund Pakistan to this day for some reason to keep India in check. In all those testing times for India, we had to need USSR to come to our support. That sense of unity was quite necessary at the time, while the leaders of the "free world" tried to undermine our country. I don't know about others nations, but Soviet Union was a strong emotion in India throughout the late 20th century. Westerners are usually in a bubble of their own so I get why they wouldn't know about these things. Also it's not merely about cultural values per say, the US straight up bullies into submission anyone who goes against their agenda in the name of democracy and human rights. So people understood that deal with the US is as good as a deal written on water. They will turn against us in a moment's notice, while USSR had our backs and maintained relationships all along for a long time.

That would mean that others can see what we think too. Scary.

Russia has paraded a 3,000-tonne nuclear submarine "K3 Leninisky" nicknamed The Whale through the streets of Russia. This gigantic submarine, measures about 352ft - roughly the length of a football pitch - made its way through Kronstadt, close to St Petersburg, yesterday. This will be turned into a relic and kept in a museum. And i have a strong belief that this is the same submarine that Russia deployed in the Indian Ocean during 1971 war. U.S supported Pakistan by sending an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean to intimidate India. Russian nuclear submarine showed up in the Indian Ocean to support India. A simple story of "showing up for a friend”. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1682167/putin-news-russia-nuclear-submarine-K-3-Leninsky-Komsomol-ussr

Making these models play chess is a good way to see how good they are in solving a general task. Which they fail miserably at. Simply because there are too many variables to consider to make a decision. Models specifically made to play chess can do that, but they can't be good at other tasks. As far as the models are concerned claude 3 opus is by far the best. Beats gpt4 by a long shot. Gpt4 is a sad case of the corporate bending down to the whims of the normies. You can use perplexity AI for 20/mo and use gpt4 and claude 3 and some other models for the same fee. perplexity.ai

I highly doubt this. Injecting AI into the decision making will not be beneficial. It mostly won't.

I see where you are coming from. Once you have a baby, you will probably lose all the fine preference you have to the gender of your baby.

Both are awesome. But boys are more mischievous to raise than girls. I always that it would be nice to have a girl first and then a boy. But I underestimated how hard it is to raise one. They are a freking drain on your time, especially for the mother.

Check the comments 💔

I had enough. Let's end it. All this digging has intrigued me out of my mind to what enigmatic mother Russia was and is. Each of those deaths are not merely numbers but a story of a lifetime of sorrow and untold sufferings & unbearable grief.

Doesn't have to be. Liberal policies led to the death of 8 million people from artificial famines alone. Stalin did enact liberal and leftists policies. These policies killed more people that Hiter did. I am blaming the leftist policies. Not Stalin.

AI simply said, do not make comparisons over different time frames, in elaborate language. Which is why I don't fundamentally respect AI. It's says the same things you give as input back in elaborate flowery language. When you dig deep, there is nothing out of the world hiding in the answers. If AI gave a rebuttal that liberalism didn't make the Soviet Russia better even though it was more liberal, like @Karmadhi did, I would have been impressed. But it didn't.

@Danioover9000 Thanks. Couldn't have explained it better. Slavery was ubiquitous in the world at the time. Slavery was a massive improvement over the tribal rituals and all the associated bullshit. Then Capitalism was a massive improvement over the slavery. 100 years from now, working at a job will be seen as slave labour by the liberal intellectuals of 2124. Which it honestly is. They aren't wrong.

Glad to hear that. So you do admit that the problems with Soviet Russia had to do with libs gone wild. Usually you find a way to blame everything on the right wing.

Astute observation.

This is exactly why I said you unknowingly abuse relativism. You have to compare conservative & liberals IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME. Tsarist Russia came BEFORE Soviet Russia. They don't operate in the same timeframe and hence have different standards. Obviously everyone knows that all societies get more liberal with time. You don't have to do any particular analysis to arrive at this conclusion. Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia is a fair comparison since they were in existence in the same timeframe. 1925-1950. Not just in ideology, but also in practice. Women were employed in mass numbers in the workforce and in universities in Stalin's Russia. Women were expected to be caregivers at home and also participate in the workforce. 40% of the women were employed in the workforce. But in Nazi Germany women, were banned from such activities. Women were expected to be caregivers at home only. The only time when women worked in jobs was because there weren't enough men because they were at war. So Stalin's Russia was objectively more liberal than Nazi Germany. The sheer numbers prove that. You miss this nuance when you club all them together as conservatives by evaluating them with the standards of 2024 America.

It was very beneficial to slaves as well. Think about it. Would you be willing to be subjected stage purple tribal cruelty in some burning hellhole in African desert drinking parasite infested deer blood, and die from malaria OR You can live in America as a slave to some white dude. He will make you do slave labour but feed you well and clothe you. But he wouldn't give you basic human respect. But you would not be getting basic human respect in tribes in Africa anyway. I am not saying the latter is heaven but blue oppression is orders of magnitude better than purple oppression which is what blacks had to endure in their tribes in Africa. Even today parts of Africa are terribly undeveloped that world has ignored it's existence. Stage red warfare is a daily occurrence in vast portions of it. Most places are still using the bridges that the whites built when they came there. Do you want your kids to be living there? Those kids of those slaves who were transported to America had more opportunities to succeed in life than billions of other people in the world by having born in America alone. They should be thankful to have been born in America, the land of opportunities when considering the alternative that they are born in Africa. There are no opportunity in Africa because the geography and climate is so fucked. You can only do so much. So it was a fair trade, at the time. Now don't jump on me. The keywords are "at the time". At the time, slave trade was a fair transaction when you take into account what both parties received and didn't suffer.
