Re: Is this a communist forum? Is futurism synonymous with the far-left?

<t>Honestly, I'm not really sure "left" or "right" wing are even relevant descriptions in the 21st Century. I think a more relevant spectrum in the Western world would be how pro-establishment or how populist you are. People who identify as "right" or "left" wing often find a surprising amount of co...

Re: Ukraine War Watch Thread

Wow, the Ukrainian army must really be kicking Russia's ass. That's not even the reason though. Recent Ukrainian counteroffensives in Kherson weren't very successful. This is literally just Russia giving up without needing to. Very embarrassing and very cringe on their part, especially given this c...

Re: Social Media & Big Tech news and discussions

For the third time, since the buyout climate scientists and, especially people posting about mastadon are being censored. I don't care about the politics of the corporation, the change came after the buyout that's all I need to know. You “don’t care” about the politics of the corporation? Okay, tha...

Re: Social Media & Big Tech news and discussions

I’m posting this here to not clog mchat. @joe00uk, he’s literally censoring scientists in favor of people shouting slurs. There’s nothing “free” about whatever the reactionary conception of speech is. I also don’t see how people expressing their hatred of different ethnic and social groups hastens ...

Re: Social Media & Big Tech news and discussions

I think in the not too far future Elon and Twitter will receive a cease and desist notice from the Government Probably true. It seems the regime cannot defend its dogmas when it's forced to actually engage with alternative ideas. Instead it must resort to censorship and raw state power to preserve ...

Re: How much food supply is left on Earth?

Just wondering with our current population growth how much food supply is left on Earth? What do we do when we run out of food? Population will start declining long before we get to any situation where we literally run out of food. However, there will continue to be famine in some parts of the worl...

Re: The complete collapse overnight of the Chinese semiconductor industry

This seems very overblown (in true American style). I remember when the Americans, along with their European vassals, claimed to have "annihilated" the Russian economy with their sanctions, only for the precise opposite to happen. Somehow, I'm rather sceptical that China is now permanently...

To be honest, my sympathies are with Elon here and not with the DC regime.

Indeed. Never bite the hand that feeds you. It looks like Ukraine will learn this lesson the hard way.

In fairness, if the "Whataboutism" is constant, it's probably because it isn't being answered very well...
