The class war dynamics are causing infinitely more harm than any perceived cultural wars this guy is hoping to cash in on the anxiety over. I'm not saying you don't have a point in terms of receptiveness to the rhetoric in this period of widespread economic disparity, even if it is based in manipulation and hatred. I do think he's not ONLY going to get approval from the people inclined to blame everything on the other rather than the new nobility, and there will be plenty of bad attention in the form of counter messaging as I think we've observed after Belfast.

Just to be clear, throwing a pie chart at me doesn't validate anything he says, what ever your personal belief is in this discussion, all populations by nation have gotten more diverse everywhere due to globalization, and largely this has only improved conditions for the most humans, even the ones that can't see their own privilege and access because they're blinded by zero sum gain thinking. Not to downplay the areas of suffering and neglect which are numerous and severe, but this era is actually more stable and better for more people globally than ever in human history, which of course is why the ultra rich can't help but filch what they perceive as excess for themselves to satisfy their hoarding disorders at our expense.

You might be convinced this grifting oaf will hit the peaks of Kirkdom, and I'd say you're being hysterical if that's what you believe, and that people get numb to these tactics and manipulations the more they're exposed to them. That combined with increasing awareness of the oligarchy's psychotic extraction and its impact on our daily lives from free access to information tells me that the grift that kept on giving since Gamergate birthed it is out of time.

Not sure what your goal was with this reply, to make me anxious perhaps? projecting your own uncertainty? Possibly revelling in the potential of his sentiments growing among the aggreived? I hate to disappoint but I think in any case I'm not feeling it, and I'm not getting swept up in the delusion. Tax reforms above all else, there is more than enough wealth being secreted away from governments by shockingly few people to solve social crises and dispel race madness. I'd remind you that white is not a skin colour or race, it's a class, and that anger is a very motivating emotion, but is much better spent elsewhere if your actual goal is improving the quality of life for ANY demographic rather than just spreading harm.

Why are you proselytising to me?

I'm not lying, these outcomes are observable every day in the US as authorities engage in 'immigration crackdowns' where people are being jailed in camps, the vast majority of whom are neither criminals or illigal immigrants, and many who are American citizens holding views oppositional to the regime. I bring this up because you yourself alluded to the trump administration as an exmaple of what outcomes one could expect from trump like figures seizing power, which is the likely goal of the moron in the article. You also claimed that you have political figures in Australia where you're apparently from, with similar intentions or rhertoric. So I'm saying the logical progression would be similar if one of them seizes power there, and you seem unconcerned. That's your prerogative, but you don't get to assert that I'm being disingenuous for pointing it out just because you don't want to address the fact.

Do you have a fancy pie chart for what the population dynamics look like in Australia where things are great by the way? Cause that might be evidence against immigration and cultural diversity being the causative issue. I'm from Canada, and I can also report things are pretty great, at least where I'm at, in a huge city center with all kinds of ethinicities and traditions represented. So, I'm kinda unsure, again, why you started this with me by dropping that chart like it somehow proves this new grifter is worthy of concern, or how reacting to his manipulations in expected ways is fanning flames like he's some kind of innocuous bystander, rather than knowingly taking an active role in sowing dischord. Why do you even care enough to be in these comments if you're not in the UK and things are so great?

Edit: Hey I saw you went and changed the wording of "why are you purposefully lying to me" in the section of your reply I quoted after I responded. Now I know you're not a serious person at all, so let's end this here.

I already mentioned Belfast, I'm well aware of what happened. How's the fallout from that been in the media and public sentiment anyway, genuinely asking. Do the upset white boys feel better burning homes and busses and improving exactly nothing?

I'm not saying Farage won't get into power, I am saying that if he does it won't be because of this whiney dimwitted charlie derp twat from the internets, it will be because of capital backers and his willingness to betray his country to their interests. Just like tRump has done in the US, he would sell it for parts and move somewhere else with the wealth they share with him for the favour. I am still not sure what your stance is on the overarching debate here as you didn't clairfy that, but if you think this is a desired outcome I hope you're ready for the shock when you realize while they brutalize and punish the browns for making the UK more culturally rich and prosperous your life will continue to worsen and people you don't want caught up in the dragnet will be victimized too, just like with ICE in the US. Thankfully this is far from a certainty even if tabloids and biased media want you the fear it.

I remain unconvinced by this wannabe grifter dipshit, and I'm starting to feel like you're doing free PR for him by overplaying this menace. Either way, we'll have to disagree here, I lived through the entirety of Kirk's growth arc and this kid ain't it.

What a curious way of saying this product is in very high demand, it's almost like the publication wants to project failure and perhaps even ill-will onto the vendor. Veeeeery interesting. Anyone seen Mr. Sweeney lately by the way?

heh, fair. I guess I'm just rageing against the standard, and the fact that people both tolerate and spread the clealry disingenuous messaging around... It helps me maintain the last frayed thread of sanity I can claim.

I am definitely for this too, walkable streets build community. I wanna say one step at a time, but really would can do both of these things at once with the right political will and politicians that actually serve the public rather than themselves and their private sector pals.

I played in the streets, with the cars which were plentiful, and simply learned to not be a complete idiot and get killed. I am but a man, and these CEOs with their sunk costs cannot sway me. End this digital snake oil trend, reclaim the assets, and jail the perpetrators; then we'll all get back to playing in the streets like normal folk.

Well it accomplished something... just nothing that's good for anyone. Even enriching MIC and tech oligarchs is not good for them, it enables their self(and everybody else)-destructive hoarding behaviour that collapses societies for no universal gain. So, it accomplished various types of destruction, which is objectively worse than nothing.

Who are you even talking to here? Who is you all? I'd like to know at least which label you're tying to slap on me if you're gonna vaguepost with hollow emotional slop.

If the Canadian government were real it would exact punishing fines on the company's Canadian held assets in response to this. And I don't mean cost of business fees, I mean hurtful costs, because these giant fucking companies seriously damage Canadian lives when they just rugpull the labour after making massive profits of Canadian operations. There is no justifiable reason to side with Ubisoft or their scumsucking management here.

Firstly, that's just naked projection. Secondly... GOOD.

Sincerely, we need to treat people who can't or won't conceptualize 'enough' as hoarders with mental illness. He can never use his immense opulence or spend all of what he has, and he can't be happy with it either. He should be separated from it, given a stipend that will meet all his needs and desires from it while he GOES TO REHAB, and the rest should be reinjected into the economy for social gain, and used to pay for the public programs and systems that made society work to begin with. Mostly because if it never worked he would never have had this opportunity to destroy it for his own pride.

The reason we hate AI is cause it's not for us. It's developed and controlled by people who want to control us better. It is a tool to benefit capital, and capital always extracts from labour, AI only increases the efficiency of exploitation because that's what it's for. If we had open sourced public AI development geared toward better delivering social services and managing programs to help people as a whole, we would like it more. Also none of this LLM shit is actually AI, that's all branding and marketing manipulation, just a reminder.

Hey, gotta pay for their corrupt bribes somehow, right?

Stephen deserves better, so does the audience, and I hope he spends the rest of the time there making the pus-sucking execs regret their bullshit. While I doubt they can feel shame or embarrassment, I'm confident he can find ways to make the stain set; and then move on to do something independent so I can support him, cause through ups and downs he's been a real one for a large part of my life. Mostly I hope Paramount actually dies of shame and fails entirely as a company, and the merger their executives burning this all for is a monkey's paw that gives them all gigaherpes and ass cancer.

But does politico condemn state sponsored terrorism? Genocide? I don't see them writing about the brutality against aid seeking civilians, or unidentified militants kidnapping American citizens without account, so I have to ask. Also is Zohran becoming mayor of Tel Aviv? No? Huh, interesting.
