what a nice squirrel 🥰
For me, the kinda unanswerable question is, should i bother to explain to some zog chud skeptical of entity the reasoning and wrongness of occupied theory, and have them go oh, that’s good then
why? people doing the correct thing for capital can believe whatever they want, they can believe they are building jesus, they can believe they are building rapture, they can think they are bringing democracy, it's precisely in those obfuscations lies the power of murican propaganda. same for porkies obscuring exploitation with 50 theories of markets, money etc, pick your theory any theory
some officials are dum-dums about capital own propaganda, they believe in it for some reason. oil execs and some business people are quite open about that real reason
nah, amerikans stay the same
functionally they stole oil from usa enemy until that enemy collapse, but with leftist aesthetics and then were inevitably betrayed. Now whether some autonomy and woman fighting for that project was worth it jordanification of syria and likely civil war in iran via air tunnel they now provide for entity? opinions differ on vision.
obviously on the tactical scale/the ground they were better than whatever the alternatives were at the time of appearance, and they didn't appear out of cia, but rather fighting isis and some pkk elements (thus leftist flair), but then again, western tourists have gone to fight for them, and they haven't gone to fight for hezbolah. Basically secular fighting force turned into useful idiots turned into malicious actors.
sailors hate them!
as somewhat ai curious person, in my experience, with at least small local llm (40-80b) they are absolutely shit at working with large texts, at best they can make a passable summary, contradictory information is ignored (if it's in two documents), document citations are pulled from the ass 1/3rd of the time (and the pulled info is equally dodgy, if it's pass/fail type on exactness), is copilot better than this?
wealth is power, if your wealth increases you buy more businesses, control more people, exert more power over politicians. in the most basic way, their pocket change can afford to hire like 10k mercenaries to do stuff, if you are multimillionaire you can afford like one dude (or more likely pay kidnapping insurance) and you have to think about it.

somewhat close (they basically measure shedding, although mainly about speed of drum importance (seems like both fixed fast rotation or very slow are better), but it doesn't seem there is dramatic increase over cycles (the first is the worst, evidently, see fig 5), but they don't do 100 cycles, you can search around in theirs citations for more info probably.
bruh i can more easily imagine japan doing anything than china, cause china is asleep
