Interesting Articles

Yeah, that part seems more accurate to me. The fear of robots seems to come from a kind of "my sins will come back to me tenfold" thing. If you build a remorseless slave that's stronger than you, smarter than you, more durable than you, & trained to kill & run your entire society....

Also, a chicken was formally tried & publicly executed for laying an egg.

Top 10 Reasons Libertarians Aren't Nice To You

Number 8 kind of falls short when Ron Paul and Rand Paul exist. Although they were at least smart enough to realize no one takes Libertarianism seriously. The former having been the right-wing equivalent of Bernie Sanders. But high schoolers claiming to have read Adam Smith is less funny.

The author also speaks far too highly of those who subscribe to that particular ideology with implications like IQ scores matter or their moral views are superior (or even matter) and...actually this article was fucking bogus.

I find it pretty interesting. The parallel between women and cyborgs/AI seizing their own means of reproduction especially.

On the other hand the article seems to defeat itself. We give them female names because "we don't want to consider their feelings", but we are only concerned with their feelings because of their parallels with women? Why not distance them from the whole issue via androgyny or inhumanity?

First they seize the means of reproduction then the means of production.

Karl Marx would confused and proud.

Well, it's like Hitchens always said.

Yeah, that was a lot of self-aggrandizing nonsense.

It started off okay before promptly shitting the bed and self-fellating.

No it didn't. The first paragraph is neither good nor bad, because no points have been stated yet. The very first paragraph of the very first point is begging the question. The second point makes the correct observation that Othering is a thing, but overgeneralizes, & then pulls some contorted "but it's okay when WE do it" shit. And then it just keeps continuing on that trend.

Extra Credits on the false dichotomy of casual/core players & how to move past it.

My problem with that sort of dichotomy is that it's so hard to shoehorn games into it that existed before we talked that way. Tetris was not viewed as a casual game in its original timeframe, but if it had come around today I'm certain that it would have been.

Origins of the US Two Party System.

Some US history and Marxist idealism. Can't help but chuckle when white people try to defend the Confederate flag as a symbol of rebellion and leave it at that. Although it leaves out the part where Lincoln didn't care so much about ending slavery and more about keeping the US as one nation and only did up the Emancipation Proclamation to shut some people up.

Study Finds Belief in Free Market Economics Predicts Rejection of Science.

A three year old and fairly short article that doesn't cover that even those who don't believe in free market economics also reject science. Granted that is irrelevant to the article and I'm just soap boxing.

Austria Is on the Verge of an Extreme-Right-Wing Takeover.

I want to ask the admin of Ask A Fascist their views on this, but at the same time that's a terrible idea. At least Counter-Signal can still be funny despite being big on fascism.

Stop posting articles about the same polished shit you're claiming is gold.

Anti-Semitism in Anti-Vaccine Movement.

Because one garbage ideology isn't enough.

Five Ways The Incredibles is Ayn Randian Propaganda.

Or How Reed Richards Can't Even Reach That Conclusion. Not a good or interesting article just outright absurd. At least Ratatouille being Fountainhead for kids is a bit less nonsensical.

Women Don't Like Libertarianism Because They Don't Like Libertarianism.

When fiscally conservative Forbes isn't big on your bullshit, you may have a problem.

Neoliberalism Fail: Top 8 Ways Privatization has Harmed us All

Reagan did nothing wrong. Thatcher was the best thing to happen to the UK.

I don't know if this one has been shared yet, but I'm glad to mention that it's not click bait at all. Rather, this cat really does look like Korin from Dragon Ball:

Why are marketing executives always such cocks?
[12:20:04 AM] Astarte C: Because marketing is literally the work of the devil.

I think this article just tipped over and lost 122 pounds of food, 2 sets of clothing and 1 spare wagon wheel:

And then died of tuberculosis.

It's dysentery, the meme is dysentery.

Ironically, far more people perished on the real-life Oregon Trail by taking unnecessarily high doses of medication than from disease according to many archaeologists.

They realized the perils of their odyssey outweighed the benefits, so they overdosed on opioids.

As God intended.
