Atheists aren’t claiming to have positive proof of the nonexistence of God.

The term means that someone has not seen convincing evidence for God’s existence.

Likewise, I wouldn’t say I’m agnostic about Russel’s Teapot or any mythical idea because that terms tends to imply that you find the existence and nonexistence of the thing to be comparably likely.

Socialism with Lemmy characteristics.

Jeju uprising

Looked that one up, and once again the forces established to fight them used a skull on their logo.

Real AreWeTheBaddies energy no matter if it’s Ukraine or SKorea.

Especially since most other users aren’t going to be exactly 17.

99% of the potential matches are going to be adults.

I think Belarus should annex both countries.

☝🏽 We see some good points in communism and anarchism, without veering to either extreme.

People will be training AI on their ex’s face to show how unhinged they are. Anyone could make pictures for divorce or custody battles that depict the other party like this.

And if they dismiss it as AI that’s a whole other problem. Actual pictures will mean nothing.

That’s a perspective I overlooked! Have you considered writing for The Economist?

Also, lysenkoism is bullshit

🙄 Why are we federated with lemmy.one again?

Ted started off as a smart guy, but the MKULTRA abuse he experienced left him with a broken ideology.

Many parts of his manifesto are problematic, and I hope people don’t think it’s good theory.

Some excerpts:

The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser.

The leftist seeks to satisfy his feeling of inferiority by cultivating attitudes of superiority. He is not the only one to do this, but he is the one who goes furthest in this direction.

Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good, and successful.

The leftist is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person is too eager to seize the initiative and too insensitive to feel guilty for his aggression. The leftist is as prone to manipulating others as the more right-wing person, but his main goal is to avoid straining his own conscience.

Ted also has some jabs at reactionaries, but he’s not a leftist for sure. There’s better literature out there, from an actual leftist perspective that people could be reading instead.
