they have a great point though because the courts are simply an extension of the police state. these are the same courts that are more likely to give a harsher sentence to Black men than their white counterparts. From the USSC:

Black male offenders continued to receive longer sentences than similarly situated White male offenders. Black male offenders received sentences on average 19.1 percent longer than similarly situated White male offenders

you can’t be racist against white people since we invented racism

more like white Americans

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.

LLM can be used for unclogging a shit pipe if you wish. doesn’t mean it’s gonna be a good idea

we’re talking about genAI here not AI in general. let’s not kid ourselves…

except calculators function as a disability aid if you have discalculia and actually foster your math skills instead of hallucinating a wrong result for your input

you could argue machine learning like Google translate is useful. it’s still evil though because Google.

generative ai though? absolutely not, we need to burn it down.

it doesn’t matter whether abolition is realistic or not. the same thing could be said in 1980 about owning a supercomputer that fits in your pocket

thanks for the rec

this is simply the liberal “if you don’t vote then you deserved it” rhetoric repackaged. we’re not interested since our goal isn’t to work inside the system as abolitionists

anyone who calls AI a form of life is too far gone to collaborate with

do y’all ever get tired of the genocide denialism circlejerk? don’t you feel pathetic to do the job of Russia and China for free? at least get new material besides "X is anti-US, therefore X anti-imperialist and therefore communist ". it’s called being a tankie

if you think criticizing the USSR is “anti-communist” that’s your own cultist complex to deal with. critiquing Russian imperialism has always and will be based, regardless if it’s hiding under the hammer and sickle or the Wagner logo

I’m really glad to hear that in classic ML fashion, you know better than Ugandans themselves what does or doesn’t constitute colonialism. I recommend actually watching the TikTok video from the Ugandan activist I linked you that already explains how Mandarin is erasing indigenous languages in favor of facilitating Chinese exploitation of local resources.

Believe it or not, Spanish is also a colonial language. It’s pretty well known in any history book that it was used to enact cultural genocide on indigenous people all across Turtle Island. Indigenous people in Latin America have the “choice” of assimilating into Spanish culture or face poverty, starvation and genocide by white Latinos.

lmao imagine unironically linking the qiao collective, the mouthpiece of the CCP, as a credible source. I was wondering how long until the .ml brainwashing chip activates 🤭

here’s an even quicker read:

The University of California, Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective posts “positive, often revisionist perspectives about Chinese politics.” That report stated that Qiao Collective claims that the “West’s perceptions of China as a human rights violator are actually the opposite; China is benevolent in helping marginalized people.” 1

The UC Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective is particularly sympathetic with regard to how China treats the Uyghur people. 1 On Aug. 31, 2022, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights released a report stating that the “Chinese government’s rights violations against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang ‘may constitute … crimes against humanity.’” 5

The left-of-center Human Rights Watch stated that since 2017, the Chinese government has carried out “a widespread and systematic” attack against the Uyghur people that included mass detention, torture, religious persecution, separation of families, forced labor and sexual violence. 5

The UC Irvine report stated that the Qiao Collective “assert[s]” that re-education camps do not exist and the camps were built to “deradicalize” extremists so they can get proper training to live on their own. UC Irvine’s report stated that Qiao claimed the camps teach Uyghurs to “better function in the economy,” learn technical skills, and they are allowed to go home a couple times per week to see their families.
