It's common to hear people scream about the dangers of AI and its horrible effects on local communities. They may be right but when they scream it on Facebook (Meta), these same people don't like me pointing out that Facebook is AI. They have data centers around the world.
Good way for me to make friends, eh?
Everything online uses AI and data centers. These are not just faceless bots floating around in the Ether trying to destroy humanity. They are ordinary things we use every day.
People don't like me pointing out that a lot of the products we buy in Walmart or on Amazon are made in China with child labor, sometimes forced labor. That's not me saying that, it's the US Department of Labor.
Nobody said a word when I pointed out that DSA seems very close to communism — in DSA's own words on their official website.
And according to a recent CNN poll, about 33% of democrats now identify with DSA. I don't think most of them even know what democratic socialism is.
(If I were advising the Republicans, I would tell them to play it cool while the Democrats load their bases with DSA candidates. Don't try to prove they're communists, just keep tickling it to set the stage for the next step. Then just before the midterm elections call a press conference with a huge screen behind the podium. On the screen, show the actual DSA website which would convince many people that the Republicans were right all along.)
Game over?
Maybe the Democrats should stop allowing themselves to be defined as communists because they identify with a philosophy they might not understand. Maybe someone should ask if what people really support is social democracy.
The primary difference between DSA and social democracy is that social democrats don't aim to abolish capitalism like DSA does. Instead they want to update our time-proven and familiar system of capitalism so it benefits everyone just like it does the rich.
In a final attempt on Facebook to get any kind of reaction I wrote that DSA is the liberals' version of MAGA. Even if I was trolling like some might think it doesn't make me wrong. When one of my best dirty, rotten opinions doesn't get anyone's hair up it's a lost cause.
I bet a lot of liberals are going to be upset when they learn the conservatives might be right about DSA!
I've tried a lot of things to break through and I guess some people are and will remain unreachable.
