I can think of 3 million reasons why Macklemore making a statement would save lives (1 reason for every $1 raised so far)

Hey OP, why do billionaires flex their power to protect a genocide and are surprised when it comes with consequences?

I think it’s the other way around. They said we need to slow down AI so this story is now being told

Because saying it is bad to bomb children should not be controversial and we need to set that expectation.

I find this kind of response insufferable. It shifts the conversation from a systems critique to personal responsibility. You could have posted this in response the OP, and it would be equally on point and useless.

I have personalized ads turned of in YouTube and it seems half the ads are for gambling as of late.

And anyone who has a retirement holding index funds is also complicit?

I don’t think they want that smoke, better to let your competitor hurt themselves

Being critAI is being proAI.

China has HOAs…

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn

It’s what follows the signifiers that’s the tell

I would be willing to bet my house that he would never do it. Once trump is out the establishment dems will trip over themselves (and dead kids in Gaza) to restore decorum

Yes, using the word “capitalism” is a signifier, but I wouldn’t say it’s counterproductive. Based on a person’s response you can quickly conclude whether they have the historical context to understand the critique. Defining capitalism as “a market-based” system is ahistorical , markets existed before capitalism. It is very hard to surface the critique while also writing a wall of text that describes how capitalism came to be and how it was later moderated

The issue is the term is meaningless if it isn’t grounded in history. If it simply means “the system you live in” then it says nothing of how it came to be and what can come after.

And if we had universal healthcare it would actually be cheaper to produce those cars. Canada is proof of this.

You could say the same of history if you know nothing about it

You would think seeing how we spend more on prisons then our schools…

I find it funny the Americans still think they are on top because of their relative “quality of living” to an impoverished state. May the century of humiliation commence!
