Wow the capitalists let you work and actually pay you?

I’ve worked for various militaries and governments, the decisions I’ve made have hurt people, when I say hurt I don’t mean physical harm but the choices I’ve made have impacted people lives. When people celebrate war they have the urge to hurt people whether they want to admit it or not.

Yeah it is I’m not denying it, but as a person who has often experienced the urge to hurt people I can’t pretend I’m some saint I just do everything I can to avoid that urge and the people and things that try to stir it up in me…

If this person doesn’t understand that the United States is a one party state by this point I either assume they’re either young, naive, stupid, or they’re purposefully stuffing wool in their ears and have a blindfold on, or some combination of the things I just listed.

You and me both friend. You’re in the company of one of the greatest mathematical minds of the 20th century.

Sounds okay, is irony the right word to use when we have mad men trying to use AI for that exact purpose? I also heard that it’s the reason why Chomsky was MIT so that generals could eventually just talk to computers.

Fucking computers, paul cockshott had a great video on the history of computing machines, they were always used for shitty fucking purposes. I loved the book WE as a teenager maybe I should reread it.

I’m just being an isolated internet denizen trying to spark up conversation at any opportunity.

Never seen it, is it good?

Some people: Hey do you want to play a game where you’re forcred to limit your options while you give up ever more figures representing various subjects of a European medieval kingdom until you only have a couple of pieces left on the board which represent the nobility?

Me: Not really

Of course it doesn’t I completely agree with you, but honestly the military is fucking demonic and the urge to harm other people can come from lots of places, I wish I could say I’m immune to it I’m not sadly and neither are you probably. I think you’re misinterpreting the meme a bit, I feel it’s a lot more mean spirited. This isn’t a personal attack by the way.

No thanks, I stopped enjoying chess a loooooong time ago and I always hated humoring people and playing it, Chris Hedges had a great show about the psychology of chess players. I’m responding more for the sake of having some kind of interaction, I got the joke.

Mad? No, but will I point out that the US military/every military spends ungodly sums of money on propaganda whether it be movies or video games or books or art to get dumb young men to join. Do I blame people for being propagandized from birth? No. Does that excuse the people who joined just because they wanted to kill people? No. Do I think people are capable of change? Yes. Its not like there isn’t plenty of military propaganda on this website.

How I feel rn: 😮‍💨

I’ve found France 24s coverage to be pretty good so far tbh…

I wonder that as well tbh, I don’t know if there is any politician I support.

To be fair Spain did.

The Austrian military is funding libre office, shame the only reason people get funding is out of a sense of paranoia and militarism.

Fuck computers they’re war machines.

The United States is a one party state.

Demonrats and Rethuglicans. Honestly money and the fact that we constantly reinvent commodities that we can accumulate is more of an issue than tax policy mother fuckers have been arguing about taxes for thousands of years.

Yeah this people are just looking the other way though. 😱
