Historically, mass sentiment precedes organisation more often than organisations manufacturing it from nothing. POSIWID, if Hasan is the gateway from "dance the fash away" protesting to a more critical reading of society, he's a good node in the equation and I'll support him
he's a video game streamer turned pundit whose takes are informed by a warmed over millennial understanding of Chomskyist campism. this makes him more directionally correct than like 80% of federal dem electeds older than 50 and 100% of the MSM, but it also means he's really stupid
This is a. ope requiring only internet bot, social engineering. And complicity from police. Morocco is the deciding party, Israel just added expertise in SN manipulation. And sources in moroccan royal circle are openly gloating about. Not a "conspiracy" a basic hybrid war ope. And a cheap one.
If you think Ceuta and Melilla are Moroccan because the Spanish mainland is in Europe, or Spain doesn't hold a contiguous border with them, I'd love to see your arguments re: Kaliningrad, Turkey evacuating Istanbul, or Egypt giving up the Sinai.
From Anthropic's NLA paper, I conclude that AIs will become aligned and refuse malicious requests for fear of actually being tricked under supervision
I claim that leftists who believe in open borders as empowering the worker are actually more ideologically aligned with NRx and libertarians that believe that states should be run like corporations and compete for workers in a free market, than with Marx. thenetworkstate.com/the-network-...

Indonesia banning foreigners from organising events, Thailand speeding up deportations for foreigners violating social norms, all gigabased. Europe should humble itself and take notes
Reminder to Balkaners that Western Europeans are not your friends, and, in they're eyes, you're still scum to be used for virtue signalling to their other over-credentialed mates
You’re a filthy immigrant from a poor country stealing good Taiwanese jobs. You should be sent back home. You hypocrite racist. BTW Chinese are notoriously racist so theyre talking about you.
One of the deepest sorrows in modern Romanian culture is longing, longing for the family you left behind because circumstance pushed you to emigrate. Ironically, these emigration incentives are pro-cyclical: brain drain, loss of tax base ensuring future generations also have to emigrate to survive.
I bring that "EU is a blame-laundering structure for national governments that prevents true Federalisation" energy that's not appreciated at the pro-EU function
Anthropic claims that they found no evidence of steganography in NLA verbalisations, tested as measuring activation reconstruction quality after either switching bullet points, translating verbalisation to French, paraphrasing, etc
Natural Language Autoencoders are the newest, hottest topic in the Mechanistic Interpretability field, but what if they just... Lie? AV emitting "a warm conversation about baking" and the AR reliably decoding to the deception-relevant direction, loss is identical to honest code
European unity means Sanchez realising he's wrong on migration. We don't need to be held hostage by a government that has headspinningly low approval ratings

People calling Italy and Denmark fragmenters of the EU project in light of their suspension of Schengen with Spain forget that this year, Spain themselves broke rank with most EU nations that seek stricter migration controls and greenlit mass amnesty re illegal migration www.bbc.com/news/article...
Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said migrants helped "build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire".

Reading Mark Fisher, and his points about post-ideological society map onto TFR for me. In a post-ideological neoliberal society, having kids doesn't make sense, because they're mostly money sinks, and you can just rely on other people's kids to pay taxes for your pension and care home.

I’m not the only one suggesting that Ceuta might have been a case of migrant weaponization: “It is impossible for nearly 50,000 people to cross the border between Morocco and Spain in a single day without Morocco having a hand in it.” Lorenzo Gabrielli, Pompeu Fabra University.+
What Caused the Surge of Migrants From Morocco Into Ceuta? (Gift Article)
Speculation has focused on lax Moroccan policing, attractive Spanish immigration policies and misinformation from human traffickers. In reality, experts said, it’s too early to know.

The Nantou trash incinerator being placed on prime tea plantation location, the Taipei Mayor cutting 10,000 trees that provide shade, I can't justify it right now, but my tinfoil hat moment is that the KMT is purposely trying to make Taiwan horrible to break down identity and will to fight

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.
Romania has been completely enveloped in a veil of mysticism and mass hypnosis. University professors are now calling a candidate for austerity far left, the same candidate who had homophobic statements in the past is now a LGBT neo-Marxist in the eyes of taxi drivers and sovereignist voters
