Yesterday I had my first job interview with an AI chatbot and it has me absolutely terrified

Democrats aren't the opposition to fascism, they're its beauticians. They don't want to fight fascism, they want a version of fascism that follows the rules of respectability politics. They want a sensible, noncorrupt fascism that keeps thorough records of the people it kidnaps. They want a gentle fascism with body cameras to make sure the kidnappings stay "nonviolent" while they get a first person view of families being destroyed. They want a fascism with more humane concentration camps.

You know who is the actual political opposition to fascism? The mutual aid group in your city. The neighborhood group chat where community members talk to each other and keep each other safe. The rapid response networks. The tenant's rights organizers. All the people out there building alternative power structures.

This discussion isn't about empathy, it's about genocide. Changing the topic to a different, irrelevant subject as an attempt to deflect, distract, or disengage with a thought is something known as whataboutism.

As an example, let's say the answer to all of your questions is "yes." Does that change the fact that a genocide is happening in Palestine? No, it does not.

Now let's pretend the answer to all of your questions is "no." Does that change the fact that a genocide is happening in Palestine? No, it does not.

If you think the left is not politically educated enough, the solution to that problem is reading books and sharing knowledge and educating your peers, not engaging in the very same purity tests that you find so problematic.

From your link:

There has been a degree of misreporting and misconceptions in English-language mass media due to translation errors, sensationalism, conflicting information and lack of comprehensive analysis. Examples of such popular misconceptions include a widespread misassumption that Chinese citizens are rewarded and punished based on a numerical score (social credit score) assigned by the system, that its decisions are taken by AI and that it constantly monitors Chinese citizens.

While this will almost certainly go unpunished, the IOF sentenced another two of its invaders to 30 days of military detention for being filmed while sledgehammering a statue of Jesus. This is because the IOF knows Christian Zionists care more about a plaster idol than they do about living, breathing Palestinians.
