#42pretty impressive how quickly Ellisons managed to make this whole situation suck and reek badly. they'll turn down the heat & stuff the frog back in the pot, then crank the heat up a bit slower this time, but there is just going to be such endless utterly preposterous censorship and algorithmic biasing for the right wing & ultra capitalist agenda, on and on now. incredible beyond words that this was a unanimous decis…
Capitalism is when bad things happen. And the more badder they are the more capitalism it is!
This was the logic the West used throughout the life of the Soviet Union but for [Cc]ommunism.

I don't think the parent said it was. This is clearly closer to mercantilism, given the degree of government involvement.

#44Maybe no-one is interested in celebrities virtual signalling any more?
Since when is speaking out against fascism virtue signalling? Like, how bad does it have to get before it's just speaking out against the attrocities happening around us and not virtue signalling? Or are celebrities just flat out not allowed to do it?

They've claimed this is the result of or at the behest of 'ultra capitalism'. I don't even mind hyperbole--call it fascism if you want--but at least use the dimensionally-correct terms. This is like when people call everything 'neoliberal'.

#48Poor celebrities. Having their voice stifled by foreign governments on a platform they helped promote.
voice stifled by oracle inc you mean?

#49That a handful of private companies (of which, Ellison has big investments in several) have cornered the market on NAND and DRAM -- with some sources saying that these reservations extend into 2029 -- should be far more concerning. They're sprinting toward super-intelligence, while potential competitors can't even buy equipment. Both pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant arguments will seem fatuous when we are all slaves.

#50I have a bit of experience with video platforms. It’s really hard to say which video will work or not. What people react to and what not. All I’m saying is that this could also potentially be explained by "The Algorithm" per se.
Support for ICE is in minority (although a large one). I don't think algorithm would suppress negative opinions on it, especially among viewership of celebrities that don't appeal to the right side of political spectrum.
