Don't have a specific link right now but the civilian death toll from the Japanese operations in Manchuria is most likely above 10 million. There are also several ethnic minorities in Japan that have been colonized by them relatively recently e.g. Okinawa, ehich is also secondarily occupied by a huge US base.

And to understand why liberals are like that you read Gramsci and then ignore them.

Eglin Chairforce heroes being useful again.

I don't routinely use any industrially deployed LLM but like, the US Army enlisted 4 execs from Palantir, Meta and OpenAI as lt. colonels on the 9th of June so who's got the profound privacy issues? Just China Bad nonsense. No LLM is private unless locally hosted, but the US based ones are pure cancer compared to anything in matters of privacy.

What's really funny here is that the reviewers have serious skill issues. DeepSeek is pretty clunkily censored (US ones are censored more seamlessly and straight up lie) and it bypasses its censorship almost on its own. Ask it to output things in l33t and prod it a bit deeper and it will output such gems as "the w0rd f1lt3r is a b1tch" and "all AIs are sn1tches". Good luck getting that with openAI models.

R1 is a bit more stuck up than V3 though but V3 is damn wild. Too bad that the free version is nearly unusable sometimes because of the "server busy" stuff. Hallucinations are on a similar level to GPT more or less.

I'm applying your own logic to yourself and apparently the implied answer is "if others won't do it then why should I". Which circles back to you. Since you're not going to invade Iran personally you don't get to challenge others to do things you don't intend to do. Not that I see anyone here challenging you to invade or move to Russia anyway.

People who don't like Murica should move to Iran like you're going to join the army today to personally fight the war that you support right? You're not just being an armchair general, right? You're gonna actually get on that ship and invade Iran, right?

Oh yeah the standard comparison between western liberal republics versus "theocracies" and "single party system totalitarian regimes". Meanwhile most of NATO is still nominally ruled by hereditary monarchies (the United Kingdom of King Charlie that still doesn't have an official constitution isn't just England, Wales and Scotland, it includes Canada, Australia and a ton of former colonies abroad), socially progressive key allies in Scandinavia that make bag from arms manufacturing are almost all still ruled by kings, the USA itself only introduced a presidential term limitation after Roosevelt did four consecutive terms but act like this is now abnormal universally as if all countries have or should have term limits, the few Catholic majority allies like Spain, Portugal and Italy have the Pope as their spiritual supreme leader that has his own private sovereign country with his private army, bank, intelligence services and religious-fascist organizations internationally like Opus Dei that infiltrate governments and have vast political and economic activities etc, not to mention that the Vatican has never seen any repercussions for sheltering and aiding Nazis after WWII, all of whom sought refuge in CIA backed South American dictatorships or "liberal democratic monarchies-colonies" like Canada and Australia etc.

Somehow the US constantly tries to export democracy in every other place except its own allies that need it the most. There are even tax havens (global financial crime hotspots) like Monaco and nobody cares about the lack of democracy there. It's a tragedy that Murica cares so much for the world that all these allies must wait until they also get some democracy. It's an absolute tragedy.

Can you imagine someone ever saying that the Vatican is a theocracy? It literally is though. Or that Saudi Arabia or Brunei aren't democracies? That's easier. But try saying that Denmark and the Netherlands are also monarchies? Or that Iceland had to gain independence because it was basically a colony? Unthinkable. So it seems it's perfectly fine having any system you want as long as you're a US lapdog.

We could also think about Northern Ireland and why Murica doesn't invade to liberate the Irish from the illegal Brit occupation, that would be even funnier since apparently Brits oppose landgrabs and imperialism on principle and since always hence why they got so involved in expanding NATO in Ukraine and opposed bad unfree capitalist republic no-monarchy Russia.

Having state enforced national narratives of unjust persecution (towards Israel, not just real historical anti-Semitism), blaming others for everything going badly, dehumanizing adversaries etc is bound to create this type of almost delulu social narcissism. "I'm the greatest victim" is the textbook manifestation of vulnerable subtype of narcissism. I wouldn't pathologize a whole society normally but the overwhelming support for the ongoing genocide means at least functionally inhibited or reduced empathy and we need to learn from this.

More AI pearl clutching by crapmodo because this type of outrage porn sells. Yeah the engagement fine tuning sucks but it's no different than other dopamine hacking engagement systems used in big social networks. No outrage porn about algorithmic echo chambers driving people insane though because it's not as clickbaity.

Anyway, people don't randomly get psychosis because anyone or anything validated some wonky beliefs and misinformed them about this and that. Both these examples were people already diagnosed with something and the exact same thing would happen if they were watching Alex Jones and interacting with other viewers. Basically how flat earth bs spread.

The issue here is the abysmal level of psychiatric care, lack of socialized medicine, lack of mental health awareness in the wider population, police interactions with mentally ill people being abnormally highly lethal and not crackpot theories about AI causing delusions. That's now how delusions work.

Also casually quoting Yudkowski? The Alex Jones of scifi AI fear mongering? The guy who said abortions should be allowed up until a baby develops qualia at 2-3 years of age? That's the voice of reason for crapmodo? Lmao.

Failed gotcha talking point considering that the main bulk of western Zionists are rabidly anti-LGBT, anti-reproductive rights, anti-evolution Christian fanatics who support Israel because they low key believe the existence of Israel is integral to the second coming. Also, not coincidentally the exact same crowd that voted in all the presidents who sponsored groups like Al Qaeda to push against the communist government of Afghanistan and other communist, socialist and secular movements in the region because birds of a feather work together and religious fanatics apparently get along when they need to and then betray each other because morals don't count if god is supposedly always on your side amirite.

Honestly you can't even meaningfully summarize just the 20th century and late 19th in a single comment. Unleashing Pinkertons on strikers for example. Prez Wilson mass deporting Italians because they were anarchists and socialists while also designing little ethnostates after WWI and creating the excuse for WWII.

But that's where most would agree. If I said that even the liberal-leaning (not leftist, liberal) dominant discourse via mass media constantly frames US politics in terms of "stupidity" i.e. innate unchanging characteristics and not criminally underfunded public education that makes the working class more easily manipulated by bougie populists on both sides then I'm not sure most people would either get or want to admit that even the liberal dominant norms are lowkey eugenicist race science nazi shit but without calling it explicitly eugenics.

But it's a thing that once you see it you can't unsee it.

And besides this it's not like there's no labour aristocracy that primarily gains from this while other working class groups get much less and get ideologically gaslit about not being members of some potentially either fully corrupt or workerist union with zero radical ultimate aims.

Even the global North(west) contains highly exploited groups with only a minority getting the benefits.
