    /s then I’m proud of being a racist by pointing out how white people can’t experience racism since this system was created by us to put us at the top of the hierarchy.

    this is literally scientific consensus in sociology, claiming otherwise makes you look like the climate change deniers that say the climate is naturally warming up.

    I’d also like to mention you haven’t cited a single academic source to prove me wrong


  • I’m a leftist that wants to abolish copyright but I believe that genAI stans are closeted copyrightists. how else could you as a leftist look at massive corporations lobbying to further destroy labor rights via AI colonialism, using it for mass layoffs, colonizing culture in a way that hasn’t been seen since Europeans extracting resources and knowledge from Africa AND still claim that you support workers and marginalized people?

    I think they spent so much time behind a terminal that they started to believe they too could one day own their own little fiefdom in Silicon Valley.

    the “move fast and break things” mentality manifests itself in anarchist instances like db0 thinking they can liberate the workers if they just lick the boots of their tech overlords hard enough and mimick the way they speak.

    I think the reason why tech oligarchs love genAI so much is because they want to create a new world shaped by copyright 2.0 similarly to how crypto shills peddle the web 3.0 gospel.









  • One major difference is that Romania is much more racially homogenous than America.

    The legal system in the States is descended from the chattel slavery era (similar to Romania), but America also is obsessed with prosperity gospel from Evangelical Christianity. When you combine these 2 factors, you get a system where anytime a conflict happens, you have no community resolution to rely upon. Anyone who can’t enact justice on their own is seen as weak, that’s why you see so many school shootings happen. I’d say they’re not only a symptom of white supremacy but also of collapsed social cohesion.

    Sure, America is definitely more litigious but that’s kinda what happens when you don’t have legislation for tenant rights, labor rights, healthcare, racial justice, etc. Your only options left are to either pay a lawyer if you’re privileged enough, take matters into your own hands or seek a communal solution.

    Communal solutions are very unlikely to be pursued in a state that despises social welfare solutions to social problems. During FDR’s presidency, America was seen as the golden age of American history due to better than usual material conditions at the expense of non-white people being excluded from these welfare programs. Thus, the “welfare queen” stereotype was created to demonize Black women simply for wanting to enjoy the same level of prosperity that their white counterparts were. You can see a similar pattern of violence emerging in the EU when white people invent a “white replacement” myth as soon as white people drop below 90% in a given neighborhood. Said neighborhood gets labeled as a “refugee hellscape” and gets segregated from mainstream society as to not infect “the civilized white culture”. You also see this manifesting in Romania as “lawless”(according to white society) Romani ghettos that are systemically segregated from mainstream society. Romani people having no choice but to rely on internal solutions get labeled as barbaric, white Romanians doing the same thing get called heroes.

    Courts everywhere are much more likely to side with the abuser, what America does a bit differently is that they industrialize their police force to lock up as many people as possible since that keeps the existing hierarchies in place. Romania is more keen on sweeping violence under the rug because that way it’s cheaper to rely on local mobs of men against women, whites against Romani, rich vs poor, etc. to uphold the police state. There’s also the fact that the Romanian state is more corrupt in a not wanting to enforce laws way and they benefit from receiving bribes or turning the other way when a problem is brought up.

    TLDR: poverty and racism means you can’t afford to be litigious. It’s mostly middle class and higher white people in both countries who enjoy the privilege of being litigious. Even the poor white people who wanna sue end up bankrupt from legal fees or have to crowdfund for legal costs.








  • I can’t find any sources saying Red 40 has been banned. You’re probably confusing it with the recent Red 3 ban by the FDA?

    Speaking of the FDA Red 3 ban, this decision was motivated by the Delaney Clause, not by any scientific evidence showing harm to humans. The FDA’s own studies found it safe for human consumption, yet the aforementioned outdated legislation gives them a legal obligation to deem said ingredients unsafe. source:

    Studies showed that male rats exposed to very high levels of Red #3 developed thyroid tumors. Here’s the crucial context: this occurred through a hormone mechanism specific to male rats that doesn’t exist in humans. The FDA’s own analysis shows a 210-fold safety margin between typical human exposure (0.25 mg/kg body weight per day) and levels causing effects in rats (35.8 mg/kg per day).

    Even more telling: studies in other animals - including female rats, mice, gerbils, and dogs - showed no cancer effects. Human studies have consistently failed to show evidence of harm at normal exposure levels.

    Some additional context you might find useful.

    For the same reasons, Red 40 causing cancer in mice in really high roses doesn’t imply a causation of harm to humans
