  • Socialism is workers owning the means of production. Not the government. The government can be fucking anything and it (or the people controlling it) profiting from owning a company isn’t socialism by itself.

    It’s fine and all to talk about a worker’s government but is that what you would call a Trump presidency? The American government at any point in its history? Will literally ONE FUCKING DOLLAR of Intel profit go to a worker from this?

    They’re cutting social services and expanding the power of the surveillance state. Just think for one goddamn second about function instead of form, I’m begging you people.







  • Hmm, I recall reading a couple articles about it a year or so ago but nothing is coming up in searches.

    I’m not sure if that means it was vaporware, misinformation, or coming soon to a Google TV near you. Anyone that’s more familiar with network capabilities is free to correct me, but as far as I’m aware if your TV even has Bluetooth it’s already capable of doing this at some level.

    Either way you’ll catch a smart appliance in my house when I’m dead.




  • “Liberal institutions straightaway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: once this is attained; no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions”

    A common excerpt from the apolitical gem Twilight of the Idols, when he’s not saying Socrates was wrong because he was from the “lower orders”

    Nietzsche of course lived through the change of the Prussian Kingdom becoming the German Empire. Lmao.


  • There’s quite a lot of revisionist writing on him. I’d suggest you read his body of work beyond the typical recommendations to form your own opinion.

    What most experts do agree is that his sister’s edits of Will to Power are quite obvious and her role in portraying him as an anti-semite is ludicrously overstated, in no small part by post-war fascists trying to lure more people into reading him. It does not stop him from being an anti-semite and anti-democratic thinker on his own.

    Nietzsche isn’t the sort of philosopher that should be discarded for all of his -isms, just keep in mind that he’s also probably the most lied about philosopher in history since Jesus. Or Marx, come to think, often by the same liars for the same reasons.



  • Ironically this contradicts itself enough times that I’m assuming it’s written by an LLM.

    Also: [historians will be one of the first on the chopping block due to clear cut data]

    Fucking lol.

    I was literally just looking up the anti-semitic political party Nietzsche had beef with to the extent that people assumed such a raging anti-semite wasn’t anti-semitic, and surprise surprise all the chatbots insists his rampant anti-semitism didn’t exist because they’re trained on Reddit and not scholarly analysis or his own fucking words.
