Some of the largest protests the world and specifically America had ever seen took place during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars drawing incredible numbers of people all across the country to protest. Our government got violent putting down a lot of those protests and The News largely just didn’t report it.

It’s just harder to hide shit now, but a lot of people seem to discount how much power the TV had over what people thought was going on outside.

That would be a good protest sticker to add as an amendment. Just the words “to stop the slaughter”

It’s hard to imagine that police in Korea have solved all the crimes with victims and now have enough time and resources to go after victimless crimes so vigorously they drove people to suicide.

Maybe the police need their priorities straightened out.

Forced military service in an ethnostate engaged in genocide is a pretty righteous thing to oppose.

Conscription is yet another good reason to stop finding or enabling Israel’s psychotic march to the sea.

Is this different than how Israel sees all Palestinians as Hamas? … Because Israel has made it clear that it won’t stop bombing Gaza until all of Hamas is dead and it looks like they won’t believe they’ve done that until there’s no beating hearts left on that side of the prison walls.

The only way to prevent a coup is through national domestic tranquility coupled with unchallenged military supremacy. Since we have yet to see such a thing emerge on Earth, it’s governments are still subject to being violently overthrown, sometimes publicly, sometimes covertly.

America and more broadly western money doesn’t really tolerate the locals to participate in the democracy in countries that might come to the wrong conclusions democratically. In those situations, we install a management layer into their government that is easily mistaken for vassal state puppetry by the people who actually see it in action.

From the perspective of the locals, this ‘democracy’ was installed by an externally funded military coup and is a tool of foreign hegemony. Democracy is what we wrote on the package, but it’s not what they got when they opened it up.

Edit: I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these coup leaders were trained by American military.

Discreet object recognition. Right now they can’t answer the simplest questions that require counting discrete objects. Which to me implies they have no discreet object sense at all. They’re just looking for word patterns.

I’ll give you an example, If you were to ask one of these. “I was on my way to the store when I saw a sow with six piglets, how many feet do we have?”

We could have a lively debate about what potential answers would be acceptable. Maybe there’s only 2 feet because the rest are hooves, maybe there’s 30 because that’s how many foot like appendages there are in total, but the answer it will give you will make absolutely no sense.

Chat GPT will be like, “11” or “15” and if you ask it any questions or follow up it genuinely does not have any answer for how any of these objects could be discreetly counted or partitioned. It can try to explain itself but quickly starts babbling nonsense.
