If they remove this then there’s no reason to get an android

No, you’re an idiot. Making up assumptions about random people you don’t know makes you a deranged lunatic. That’s not an endorsement of politics but a call out of loser behavior.

I’m 100% you’re a troll who’s being pedantic. But here’s an example anyway:

Your parents might lack empathy and are cruel, therefore they are looking for other cruel people to confirm their cruel behavior: The cruelty is the point

That’s one of the top comments. All we have is the second hand account of OP who vaguely stated that his parents like Hegseth. We have no idea who they are, what they stand for, why they like Hegseth, or to what extent. Yet people like this commenter took the liberty to just make unhinged baseless assumptions about how they’re cruel and evil. That’s unhinged. If you can’t see it, you’re probably unhinged yourself.

Again, what are you even talking about? Literally everything you listed China is doing much worse in, not to mention other major issues like a demographic crises on top of everything else.

I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with the technology itself. It really is exciting stuff that has a lot of useful applications. The issue has always been that the growth and development is driven by greed rather than realizing potential. With no government accountability or regulation and with the populace ignorant and apathetic, a bubble was bound to be the outcome

I don’t see a future with big AI modrls like Meta AI, chatGPT, or Copilot going away those and others like them are used by people. But things like Meta’s new all AI app or things of that nature as well as the tens of thousands of the empty startup AI companies are what’s going to disappear. They’re products that nobody wants or uses, and they’re only there to inflate stock valuations. That’s where the bubble lies. The tech is here to stay, but only in cases where it’s actually used.

Although I do think that there’s a big AI bubble, the reality is that Pandora’s box has already been opened, and it’s not closing back up. The technology is here to stay and it will continue to be integrated into everyday life bubble or no bubble.

Something based on imaginary stocks, grift, de-industrialization, ghost jobs and falsified labor statistics, likely mixed with a debased dollar, just doesn’t bode well.

This is literally describes China, what are you even talking about?

Literally all of the top comments. The real question is how can you not see how unhinged they are?

Nobody here knows anything about OP’s parents or why they like Hegseth or to what extent, and then have hoards of idiots calling them cruel, evil, or vile with zero context. Like I said, unhinged. You just don’t see it because you’re a part of the mob

This comment section is comically unhinged and batshit crazy that it’s a good reminder that this platform is infested by terminally online idiots who I should interact less with. Welp time to go touch some grass.

Case in point lmao

I’m gonna keep it real with you. You’re going to see the same problems no matter which instance you end up on.

I have no idea who you are, and I don’t care. However, purely looking at your account history and modlog, you seem like a generally unpleasant person. You come off as someone who picks fights and can’t take criticism. The way you act is rude, hostile, and annoying. You also seem to be into some weird conspiracies, which makes you look unhinged. That’s probably why you keep getting banned. You’re not being banned for being a woman or a feminist, but because you break a lot of rules, at least according to the modlog.

My point is that it doesn’t matter which instance or platform you go to. You’re the common denominator. Obviously, that doesn’t mean people should harass you, but it does mean you’re at least partly responsible for how people interact with you. Lemmy is usually a chill place if you avoid politics, and even then, most people are nice as long as you’re civil. From what I see people are just treating you the way you treat them, so there’s a good chance that your problems might follow you on a new instance.

Damn, she got exposed lmao. You’re doing the lord’s work be sharing this with the community, thank you.

You’re literally brain dead lmao

I mean that’s a completely fair point of view. If we make the assumption that humanity will continue to progress with time, even if there are periods of regression, then I could see where you’re coming from. Humanity did evolve from being nomadic tribes to creating settlements of tribes to creating nations from settlements to creating empires from nations to today where we’re forming unions of empires and nations. It’s logical to think that with time we’ll have these unions merge and create a higher authority, and if we follow this trajectory it should eventually lead to a global government. I just hope we don’t go extinct before that happens.

A global government at it’s core is a form of imperialism. The idea is going to pushed by specific regions who stand to gain the most and it’ll opposed by region who stand to gain the least. No matter what shape the global government takes on, it will always be dominated by a select number of regions. Where the seats of government are going to be, who enforces its laws, who makes up the government, what ideals it would embody, how the voting system is set up, what degree of autonomy can be granted and who grants it, and so on these are things that have to be forced upon people by an authority that seeks to monopolize violence. Imperialism as a concept of where a nation spreads expanding it’s influence and power isn’t inherently bad, but based on human history this is an idea that can get bad pretty quick. I don’t think a global government can be implemented without a great deal of push back, resistance, and force to squash it all.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all day lmao.

Idk how historically illiterate you are, but direct democracy HAS been used plenty of times throughout history. Native American tribes like Muscogee, Swiss Cantons, and even early colonial New England towns all used direct democracy. There are plenty of examples of it being used, however, it’s only ever been implemented successfully on small scales. Technology isn’t a limiting factor and never was, it’s only a limiting factor when it’s implemented on really large scales due to the logistics, however, the issues of logistics go BEYOND just technological limitations. You would think that this is just common knowledge, but apparently not.

But if you’re genuinely incapable of comprehending any of the points that I made then you’re not qualified for this conversation.

It’s not a matter of technology, the concept is just inherently flawed. Even if every person could vote instantaneously and have their votes counted immediately, it still wouldn’t work because direct democracy requires everybody to vote on every issue. There’s just way too many things going on in the world for this to be feasible. Direct democracy is only works on small scales, and it’s just not a good form of government beyond that. This is why you rarely see direct democracy in history, the evolution of history has favored representative democracy as the superior form of democratic governance because it’s more practical, efficient, and flexible.

That’s not what I meant, I meant that the concept of sovereignty has persisted over time. Different groups of people have sought out their independence and they go to great lengths to protect it. I obviously didn’t mean that sovereignty was protected throughout history because that’s clearly not true. The world is filled with empires and invasions. However, I think most people today agree that this was bad. I think a lot of people today would see a modern global government in a similar negative light as it would greatly favor regions in the world that are already rich, heavily populated, and strong. In other words, countries like the US and China would still end up dominating and poor regions would still be screwed over.
