Using old, otherwise useless stock to send a message as cheaply as possible?

An endless cascade of farces

My list of good cops is slowly growing

Threads and Come and See are the only good antiwar movies

edit: although obv the historical context of Come and See doesn’t allow the Soviet people the choice over whether to go to war or not

Anyone have firsthand experience with the RCA/IMT?

I haven’t looked into it but they probably don’t mean generative AI to “enhance” images

ensure more accurate connection

This implies the more technical meaning of AI/ML that has been used effectively for decades.

lmfao

the invisible hand will invent planes that don’t get shot down and only cost 100 trillion dollars

30 of the 49 injuries are just anxiety, 10 are hand strain from semen extracting the 15 dead

lmaooooo

Am I missing the evidence that it’s someone impersonating a cop rather than actually being a cop?

“we pretended to care about your rights and you reward us by criticizing our genocide?? well here’s my ally card I won’t be needing it anymore!”

god get me out of this country

holy shit that’s a lotta disinfo

I can’t imagine any of the primary sources sharing them “accidentally” (not faulting secondary viewers who got tricked) which suggests a deliberate effort to mislead people and muddy the water.

I guess I’m curious, then, who does the disinfo serve? Lone actors trying to attract attention? Anti-Israel strategy to make it difficult for them to garner any information from videos? Pro-Israel strategy to sow doubt about legitimate hits?

Fuck every few minutes I forget and try to skip ahead in the live to see what happens

It’s unfortunate that “cargo cult” is such a useful and familiar way to explain fetishism (a word that also comes from colonialist nonsense!)

But I’ve had success still using it as a sort of one-two punch first explaining fetishism and second explaining how the phenomena is almost always colonialist projection.

or “improving society for everyone magically benefits me too”

If westerners need magical narratives to dial back their hyper-individualism I’m all for it.

What do you think our Pizza Hut is?

Holy shit I’m only 2 episodes in but The Rehearsal S2 is high art

Dentistry is like therapy in that they’re both necessary but capitalism produces such perverse incentives that it seems easier to just ignore problems and die young

The degree to which that’s true is more due to survivorship bias and US culture than quality of theory or praxis imo, but regardless of reasoning I agree with your conclusion broadly. Internet “activism” involves way too much purity testing and not enough pragmatic engagement. The [org] that feeds the children gets my support, even if it happens to (somehow) be anarchist or trot.

The second step after learning initial theory is going out and applying it, even if that means in a less-than-perfect org. The third step can then be critiquing the org and altering course, but too many leftist skip the real-life engagement part of the dialectic. My first org was a fairly radical DSA chapter and I met a lot of good people, including other MLs.
