Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jd will not be nearly as bad as Trump. Stop pretending it's the same thing.

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

no. The US will still be as dumb and as divided as before.

You will continue to labor all day for reduced pay, while the robot pretends to do art all day

Unless WE give the robots some rather interesting military jobs first.

Don't forget eating almost exclusively fast food so that nobody can poison your meals.

And do they also have late stage syphilis? Why is nobody talking about that one, it's obvious. The patchy hair loss, the blemishes, the cognitive decline, the bizarre thick facial makeup. You know why the French covered their faces and hands with that thick white lead based paint back in the 1700s and wore wigs? Because of syphilis.

It fits the timeline perfectly if you consider how he was living in the 80's-90's, and how obviously he would never go have it checked out because he's a narcissistic piece of dumb shit.

(It also tangentially explains Trump's bizarre emotional affiliation with the late great Alphonse Capone)

Not that I'm aware of...

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.

I think they're referring to the political article and the community within which it has been posted, not that AI isn't technology.

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.

And hung for public viewing. I mean we all know maga is feral so 🤞🏼

Better now than in a few years after they've prepared him.

At least Vance is so uncharismatic that if he even thought about pulling the shit trump does the maga base would eat him alive

Only if Americans accept that instead of doing what they should, which is arrest them all and do to them what your precious constitution says should happen to traitors who commit treason.

He was one of the best presidents since Jimmy Carter and the country and the world would be better off with him in power vs Trump.

A maga supporter on Lemmy? WTF

Götterdämmerung?

It was propaganda before, it didn't include people who were working a handful of hours and unable to support themselves and unemployed who said they weren't actively seeking a job.

Trump's issue wasn't that it was intentionally deceptive, only that the lies weren't far enough from reality.
