“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”
When reached for comment, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told the Daily Beast in a statement, “It’s sad that Daily Beast interns cannot grasp the concept of pro-growth policies that create jobs. Their minds are clearly warped after cheering on Joe Biden as he wrecked our economy for four years.”
The pettiness is unreal.
This is not “pettiness”. This is all part of a multi-generational psychological warfare operation to brainwash the working class and implement totalitarian dictatorship — started by the Koch Bros, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and other wealthy narcissists several decades ago — and the fascists are winning; facilitated by “liberals” who are mostly a manufactured opposition, financed by the same corporations/oligarchs.
No war but class war, and the capitalist class is winning.
The rhetoric that politicians are idiots and they don’t know what they’re doing is also damaging, because it makes people assume stupidity rather than malice.
But it is malice. The incompetence is real, make no mistake, but malice is in fact the end goal.
When profits are involved, always assume malice.
The only time you should assume stupidity is when dealing with family, friends, colleagues, frontline workers, etc; basically anyone you interact with who wouldn’t profit off the malice (eg the sales person or marketing team will lie to make a sale).
The rhetoric that all politicians are corrupt and evil is also extremely damaging, and is parroted strictly by conservatives and the daft-right who then go on voting for the most corrupt and evil ones every time.
Its also parroted by the left because we can see the corporate backers funding the various politicians.
Citizens United was the greatest coup the ruling class could have gotten (before social media anyway), and its made it trivial to corrupt our politicians. And we can see how stances change or how there’s always juuuuuust enough politicians to vote for some horrible bill to pass or kill a bill good for the people. Its kinda sad how many people don’t see this.
Never believe that anti-Semites [read: fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Rest in piss indeed
Who was an embodiment of the quote above.
This guy gets it
I’d say educational system, or better, it’s downfall through decades, plays a significant role in making population dumb enough to not see through these constant lies.
It’s easy to control sheep. Machiaveli wrote a literal guidebook in the 1500s. If you dumb them down and destroy free thought, you can rule as you see fit.
The multigenerational operation directly involves the defunding of, and attacks on, education. This isn’t a this or that situation. ALL conservative and neoliberal policy since the 1970’s is about destroying ALL socialist/liberal/democratic advances made to date, and returning the working class to ignorant destitution; much easier to control and brainwash mentally-ill morons (see MAGA).
It feels like some edgelord 4chan trolls have taken over the government
Exactly what happened. What are we going to do about it? I plan to create a self-sustainability community to at least drain their leverage a bit.
4chan played a non-insignificant part in getting MAGA in power. It always attracted throngs of alt-right morons who dominated the political discourse. Back when nazis were afraid to speak about their beliefs in public, the Internet quickly became their breeding ground and base of operations. They got in very early, and were always very good at dominating and influencing online sentiment.
I wish he’d fucking die already
Then we’d have President Vance and first Mistress Kirk. This cancer is going to take a while to cut out if it doesn’t outright kill us.
Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain’t got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn’t have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he’d get a lot less of the agenda pushed.

Again, R’s aren’t scared of Vance, they absolutely believe Trump can throw down a “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” on Truth social. That translates to shit getting pushed back on a lot more for Vance.

I don’t think they need to “win” any elections at all anymore. It won’t matter who the repugs put up as a candidate, they will win. If a democrat wins in 2028 and there is a peaceful transition of power, I will never again claim any even borderline conspiratorial shit in my life, and so I swear.
I don’t think they are Catholic nice try tho 🧃.
Jd will not be nearly as bad as Trump. Stop pretending it’s the same thing.
Vance is Thiel’s puppet. He’ll definitely be worse.
I need him to stay alive and receive punishment, impeachment and incarceration for all his crimes before he kicks the bucket…this fascist, racist, felon, clown fuck
Soon enough. You can see the way he is aging. It seems to be accelerating.
I love it when they follow Trump’s name with his age. Fuck the gerontocracy
Would socialism and collectivism help empower youth?
There is no “-ism” that can save the US anymore
They need a revolution and a new system. More than two parties and limits on presidential power
multipartyism
What about the principles of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin?
no. The US will still be as dumb and as divided as before.
What about using force?
In Minecraftthen you deserve someone like trump.
Why?
You want a leader that dominates the country using force. Well congrats you got that leader its Trump. You dont get to pick between democracy and authoritarianism when it suits you.
What about achieving socialism without using force?
This implies that sometimes he rants coherently which is not true.
This dumb fucking child rapist
Have some self-respect. Don’t feed The Daily Beast.
I blocked /c/politics over this, but it seems like none of the big .world communities care about tabloid sourced/clickbait headlines.
And, unfortunately, clickbait works. They always float up to the top of Active.
It’s the only one reporting what he said
More people are working right now in the United States than at any other time in our history.
The same can be said year on year every single year (except 2020) due to population and economic growth.
What he doesn’t say is that the divergence between the average wage and the cost of living has never been greater. So, while more people are available to work, they are earning less per hour in bread and bricks than they were 5, 10, 15, 20 (etc.) years ago.
My parents aren’t much younger than him and every time he speaks I worry for their health.
I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.
To think Trump 1.0 was an improvement over this shit show.
Trump 1.0 he was actually there still, easily manipulated but still there. Now he’s just a puppet with dementia.
Nah, 1.0 was only better because he spent the whole time figuring out wtf to do. He didn’t even know he had to hire his own cabinet. 2.0 is the result of those four years of realizing the power and protection of the position, and another four of teams of knowledgeable people working hard to make sure this term would be the last they’d ever need.
It’s less that he personally learned anything and more that the Heritage Foundation did, he’s only following their playbook.
Yes…that’s what I said…
this is not technology
deleted by creator
Yeah… it is. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s good or bad, it’s technology.
I think they’re referring to the political article and the community within which it has been posted, not that AI isn’t technology.
But aren’t most posts here about AI? I figured talking about technology would be fair game.
This is an article about a sad, inept, old man’s ramblings, tangentially related to technology. Not nearly worth posting about in this community - in my opinion, of course.
Unfortunately, that piece of shit is the president. He could affect how AI technology is regulated.
For sure, and if this article had any more substance than him rambling, I’d agree with you.
AI is technology. An old man rambling about nonsense is not technology. If he was rambling about blueberry pie that wouldn’t make this a cooking article.
Good point.
The Technology place here is exactly the same as it is on Reddit.
Nothing but constant AI stuff.
I hope this was his last merry Christmas. I hope we’re getting close to his Mussolini ending
Wasn’t Mussolini ripped apart by his constituents?
And hung for public viewing. I mean we all know maga is feral so 🤞🏼
beginning of this headline got my hopes up that he finally croaked. fuckers.
I believe man and fish can peacefully coexist!
Old man yells at clouds!
