I’m OK with being an accomplice to genocide and coups, but I draw the line at AI slop. /s

It’s probably by Ursus Wehrli

Workers as is “people who work”. Not as in “the class of the proletariat”. 🙄

Reminder that slavery is still legal in the US, if theworker is incarcerated.

Thanks! I was waiting for that one!

I don’t think they were called Rockstar back then.

The US citizens are among their victims.

Does ACAB include the hydration police?

This is not to take the heat off of Trump and his coterie of tradcath fascist weirdos, but to extend it to the more “normal, respectable” fascists who also richly deserve it, but who we have been taught to view as lesser or necessary evils. Good cop, bad cop, ACAB.

Yes, that is pretty much the gist of it.

On ML, they often complain that “authoritarian” is a liberal buzzword to make foreign governments seem scary. And they do have a point here, because it is used like that in liberal discourse.

However, I think the word is still useful, as long as you don’t selectively apply it and also use it to criticize liberal democracies.

Paraphrasing Daniel Baryon from his Work “a modern anarchism”:

Authoritarian is the description of a system that behaves in such a way that institutional power is concentrated into the hands of a minority.

It applies, though. At least in the only logically coherent definition I know. No matter how commonly it’s used.

Is there anyone on lemmy who doesn’t view Trump as an authoritarian wannabe-dictator?

Eww, I got classist identity politics propaganda in my feed.

Don’t spread classist propaganda. Overalls are sturdy trousers for heavy work. The one on the top’s job is to look pretty. The one on the bottom does some hard, manual labour in these clothes.

I’m not saying one’s better than the other. Just that these people are graded on the same scale thah different jobs don’t satisfy.

I think they forgot a /j tag.

Caieful! You might hurt a campist’s feelings with that solid take. /j

Slooooop!

Ok… Where’s the social darwinist? You sure you commented at the right spot? What does that have to do with anything discussed?

Just say you’re running away because you don’t have the theoretical capacity to continue. It’s ok you don’t have to pretend.

Wanking motion

Yes, I personally have murdered you. Twice at least.
