> The Palantir executive pointed to “exploding pagers and long-distance drone strikes from shipping containers” as attacks which “prove that technology has once again changed the battlefield,” and that “our military has to change with it.” That's not Palantir's market segment.
Interesting comment. It's exactly one of their market segments, defense technology.

Capitalism is when people vote away their own rights? Leftist analysis can't explain why Bernie out-spent Biden and got crushed. There are strong capital interests on both sides of this issue.
>Leftist analysis can't explain why Bernie out-spent Biden and got crushed. Haven't we been saying it was stolen through suspect political maneuvering and the compromised nature of mass and social media as it exists today? As a black person, it was not lost on me the difficulty CNN et al. had in finding black voters to interview, until the nation NEEDED to know that black South Carolinian voters definitely hated Sand…
Political maneuvering isn't capitalism. But putting that aside, if your candidate could only win by having the moderate vote split five ways, you're the ones doing political maneuvering.

Polls always showed that Biden was the Obama guy.

I would urge anybody who wants to soothe their fears to avoid reading up on Curtis Yarvin.
Nice trick. I couldn’t stop myself from looking: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/06/09/curtis-yarvin-... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/magazine/curtis-yarvin-in...

It'd probably be a stronger case if you could point out an inaccuracy in the article. In a sense it's implicit agreement to only criticise the identity of the source.
Dishonest sources can generate bullshit faster than honest people can debunk it. At some point you are obliged to dismiss consistently unreliable sources. In fact, Wikipedia has already done this: "The English Wikipedia formally deprecated the use of The Grayzone as a source for facts in its articles in March 2020, citing issues with the website's factual reliability."

It was deprecated because it was the personal blog of Max Blumenthal more than any specific false stories. The Wikipedia discussion is public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Not...
Taking into account the strength of the arguments and those who did not distinguish between those options, there is a rough consensus for Option 4: "Publishes false or fabricated information, and should be deprecated".
I'm wondering if maybe there's a non-anti-Semitic source for this? It seems like there ought to be, given that it's reporting on something purportedly published on Twitter.

The people want to be surveilled. This is their choice, which has been revealed billions of times since the dawn of the modern social media era. As a result I have zero pity, and the public can reap what it has sown. Privacy advocates, cypherpunks, hackers, et cetera have been sounding the alarm bells since Room 641A, if not earlier. Not only has the Internet at large failed to heed these warnings, some of those "con…
Just because there's risks with something or side effects with something doesn't mean people want the side effects

Sadly everyone keeps hoping there will be free elections still. I do fear for my US friends and everyone else that is being impacted by what is happening.
it's too late for free elections, we haven't had one since pre-Bush I think. Most votes are programmed into people and they don't really know it, and if they do they just don't care. I think very few people actually study and do unbiased research prior to voting. Everyone votes based on what people around them think, and whichever party's social media "brainwashing" has affected them most.
I don’t want to get into a political debate here, but the DNC can thank itself for Trump since they coronated (with no primary!) a candidate who dropped out before Iowa when she ran in the primaries because she had zero support because no one liked her. They also basically ran on a platform of “if you don’t like our policies, you’re a bad person.” I’d imagine more than enough people to swing the election either way pulled the lever for Trump as an explicit rebuke of the DNC’s disdain for anyone outside their orthodoxy.
Anyway. When a party besides the Trump party remembers that persuading the rest of the public (not insulting them) is necessary to win elections, that’s when we’ll have relief from one-man rule by that jackass.
