Being called a woman isn’t something you “deserve”, it’s just a gender assignment that means nothing.

Just do your own thing, if you don’t feel like the label fits you, you don’t need it anyway.

Macaron has a worse effect than LePen.

He got elected by pretending to be center-left. Even now, people consider that he’s a moderate right. He hires full-on far right extremists that lead a party of nazis, and passes them as moderate. He plays the card of the enlightened centrist to make it seem like the far right is a better alternative than the moderate left.

He is doing something that Le Pen couldn’t ever do: make the far right look like a reasonable, moderate party, while completely discrediting the left in its entirety.

Macron is paving the way for something much worse than Trump.

Fixing the world

I guess I’m the only one thinking that it’s fucking disturbing.

I don’t really get why and how lobbies are even allowed.

I always thought the correct word to describe it was “corruption” and that it was illegal.

And that is why I like the ability to tag users as creeps on lemmy

That if something is useful or necessary, then you can never say that it is bad.

A simple example of that would be the military.

Pardoned? What were they condemned for exactly?

Yeah, the state of the world doesn’t currently agree with that

So we’re smart enough to dislike fascists, but stupid enough to support primitive discriminatory macho crap?

Humanity really needs to disappear

Isn’t that basically the essence of the US since like, forever?

So, immigration for anti-immigration advocates?

She is quite openly supporting Trump, a 30s glance at her wikipedia page would have told you so.

Yeah no. France is going head first into fascism, Macron is doing a very good job continuing the work of Napoleon and De Gaulle at destroying whatever “protocols” still protect democracy, while at the same time making the nazis look like moderate right, and the moderate left look like horrible far-left extremists antisemitic communists.

What is happening is a repeated act of Macron to show that he can do whatever he wants as “the boss” (and just that is enough into fascism to be considered closer to a form of dictatorship than a democracy), and people are getting used to it.

France has been considered by the International Federation for Human Rights, Human Rights League and World Organisation Against Torture to be dropping out of democracy since 2017.

This is not a hiccup, this is a collapse. France is on its way to be a fully fledged fascist country, and it probably is too late to stop it nonviolently.

If by “days” you mean 10 years, sure.

Isn’t he the piece of shit that was enjoying that someone that interrupted his show because of the shit he was saying, got heavily beaten up by security?

The difference being that they don’t know it’s a poison.

Conservatives are defined by the need to burn it all down. The point is that they see a horrible past as glorious, torture as duty, and war as peace.

It doesn’t matter who dies or whatnot, everything is just a tool towards this goal, not the actual motivation behind it.

You don’t really throw a racial slur “just one time”; but when you try to not use it in public, one slip up happens.

Your whole logic is based on the idea that being able to do something means understanding that thing. This is simply wrong.

Humans feel emotions, yet they don’t understand them. A calculator makes calculations, but no one would say that it understands math. People blink and breathe and hear, without any understanding of it.

The concept of understanding implies some form of meta-knowledge about the subject. Understanding math is more than using math, it’s about understanding what you’re doing and doing it out of intention. All of those things are absent in an AI, neural net or not. They cannot “see the world” because they need to be programmed specifically for a task to be able to do it; they are unable to actually grow out of their programming, which is what understanding would ultimately cause. They simply absorb data and spit it back out after doing some processing, and the fact that an AI can be made to produce completely incompatible results shows that there is nothing behind it.
