well then. I suppose we’ll see who has to make a cup of coffee for whom.

okay. I’m not really convinced by most of what marx had to say. a lot of it seems like it was really far sighted, but doesn’t quite ring true in 2025. some of it seems pretty solid. dude could seriously write though, when he wasn’t actively trying to be bland for the respectability, and was proof that people in the 19th century didn’t have to be pieces of shit.

im looking for a classless stateless society where the point is human flourishing and resources are distributed with an eye to fairness and the long term well being of all people. I think there are better/worse and more/less stable ways to get there, but if it’s stupid and it works, it wasn’t stupid.

assuming that’s roughly your goal and we’re both alive to see it, I’ll bet you a cup of (probably extinct by then) coffee my way gets there first?

the core “from those who have to those who need” is still in common, and it is a form of classless stateless society, even if it doesn’t really scale and we can’t get back there from here.

plus, there are alternatives to marx. he wasn’t infallible.

I think being a shitty eugenicist non-expert in 1900 is a lot less egregious than being a shitty eugenicist who claims to be an expert in everything in 2025.

also, there’s plenty of other stuff for him to be ashamed of with this association.

perfectly straightforward; you just reverse it. don’t think about it too hard. R G and B values each go from 0 to 255 (that’s 256 if you want to be a barbarian and avoid zero indexing).

all is well. you don’t need to think about it any more than that.

you’re right, they could be a monarchist instead. that’s much more sensible.

almost like everything a fascist says is a lie, and the things they accuse you of are just what they’re getting hard about doing to you.

but that would be absurd.

also, primitive societies tended to be pretty communist. you need to build to delusions like capitalism.

capitalism, of course, where utility is only allowed to exist as the unexploited byproduct of a scam, cannot fail. it can only be failed.

I cannot explain that without defiling you. A portion of who I am now is forever locked away, a secret to the world, and should it ever be known I will destroy my audience, will drag them down into the incomprehensible dark alongside me. this is not a fate you should desire.

just stay away from fucking color theory. there are three primary colors and you make other colors by combining them. black is no colors. white is all the colors at once. you don’t need to know anything else.

I would have to explain color theory, and that shit is a cognitohazard.

I don’t mean like ‘rokos basilisk’ “what if we reflavored the dumbest ideas of the dark ages, but cyberpunk flavor and with 200% more irrational dumbshit assumptions based on a pretty okay scifi story I read decades ago and now assume is a substitute for logic” ‘cognitohazard’ I mean genuinely shit that can break your brain, can consume you, can destroy you.

so there is an answer, and when you even approach it, you will become the abyss into which others should not stare. may there be a god to help you, because I will be unable.

no, but a bunch came out since.

america helping france

one could argue america got them there, and failed to help when it would have been cheap in order to exacerbate the problem, because they VERY much could have been on the other side of that war.

also, fuck america. If you want to bring in world war 2 as ‘america good’ it is completely negated by operation paperclip and not executing every single member of the japanese royal family. fuck, shiro ishi, possibly one of the most disgusting horrible monsters our species has ever produced, ended up dead of medicine at tokyo university after the war. look up where nobusuke kishii and his family landed, after he ran the ‘comfort women’ program, and raped so many people that he had a full time assistant just to keep the amount of cum on his sheets from being inconvenient. the americans failed to do anything about either abomination.

the americans, again, chose to let both these men go free, along with the ones they explicitly paperclipped. While individual americans did do very good things for all kinds of reasons, they get no collective points for that war.

socially free, from a source nobody had ever even thought of, but not literally physically free. that is pretty fucking cool. I’ll have to ask an EE about this sometime, and see how dumb they think I am.

im saying you can’t really judge a non-expert for being the kind of shitty guy that was in vogue to be shitty at the time, especially if it’s not a primary thing. nicola tesla doing a eugenics? yeah whatever. his approximate contemporary, margaret sanger, you can give a lot more shit on the topic, because she was a fucking doctor.

this doesn’t just apply to history! as someone who has generally been on the right side of history, I have lived through this. several times. A current example, aside from the obvious nazi shit and transphobia, would be the whole push to equate large language models with “AI” and orient all of our society’s productive capacity towards making them like we’re a giant god damn paperclip machine. I can’t give any lay person who was into the tech in 2023 too terribly much shit about it-but if you were in any sort of information science, math, IT, or neuro-anything, and you were in favor of how it was being pushed for more than five minutes, I will mock you mercilessly until the day one of us dies, and then if it was you, ill graffiti the mockery on your fucking grave.

how strongly was he in favor of eugenics? did he have any ability to push the needle? did he care emotionally, or was it just a quick glance ‘yeah that sounds close enough and I trust the experts. anyway, back to stuff I actually care about’ kind of opinion?

see, I would argue that the pigeon kind of exhonnerated him for the eugenics. A race of superhuman pigeon-men, ruling over us pitiful full apes? I’d bend the knee, in my primitive forward jointed way.

yeah, dude was so good at electrical shit I literally cannot comprehend how he got to some of his ideas from where he was.

yes but the americans deserve it.

as if these assholes have ever read a history book. they don’t fucking know that.

it should though. everyone should go hard on these parasites. fascists always get a free ride from all the authorities. that’s how they get into power. they never suffer consequences, because all the consequences are fake and designed to stop people from being too free or too communist, both of which fascists also work to stop, so the nation’s enforcement mechanisms see them as friends and go really ridiculously easy on them.

france needs to nail america’s dick to the wall, and declare that no more american goods will be coming into france until these scum pay their debts. maybe even give a ‘we brought you into this world, and we can damn sure take you out of it.’
