The chillest of them all, darth c’est la vie.

Everyone who doesn’t agree with me is a filthy foreign enemy, news at 11.

Yes.

I think white people names are overrepresented in the names chosen by white people. Instead of naming your kids France, name them Equatorial Guinea or United Arab Emirates.

That’s nice and all but it’ll all fizzle out without actual organised labor to back them up.

I think you should research a topic in Slovenia specifically more deeply.

No, you should back up your assertions with data. Assuming what you’re saying is true, though, let’s try this:

If you have a few kids social support in slovenia is comparable to minimal wage. […] Would you work if you would get the same money if you did not?

Then the question becomes: Why is the money they’d get if they worked minimum wage? That’s your problem right there.

And with our prisons full, lots of crime was reduced to fines. So criminals in those communities were never punished.

Yeah that sounds like a problem. Nothing to do with social welfare though.

And allow yourself to put words like “dirty Gypsie” in my mounth.

I didn’t put them in your mouth; I put them in the mouth of wherever you’re getting your information. You seem to be well-meaning, but the stereotypes you’re parroting (which, again, show up everywhere, so this isn’t something unique about Slovenia) do come from the kind of people who would be mad at dirty Gypsies for stealing their tax money.

Because generative AI has been built off the backs of everyone, whether they consented or not.

This is covered by fair use, and in any case intellectual property is bullshit.

Because AI companies (Nvidia, Facebook, pick a company) have pirated enough material to keep any individual in jail for life, and yet they have no consequences and can profit off everything.

Legally, downloading stuff illegally is a civil content, so you can’t in fact go to jail for it, only pay fines. Morally, the whole concept of piracy evolved out of government-granted monopolies and was pushed by rich pricks as a way to get richer at the expense of everyone else, so there’s no reason to give it any moral weight.

If generative AI can not be used for commercial purposes, it also cripples the ability to replace artists, writers, etc., with an AI that stole all their work in the first place and is regurgitating it.

“Protecting jobs from competition” is very low on my list of things I want enforced via state violence. Maybe it’s high on yours, but I’d like not to get state violence’d to satisfy your sensibilities thank you very much. Otherwise you can’t complain when, say, conservatives use state violence so enforce their sensibilities on you.

Take the profit out of it, and we can all (to some degree) benefit from it. Take the profit out of it, and stop them from hoarding and destroying books/knowledge, destroying the environment, destroying your economy.

Uh… what? What’s your reasoning there?

Ban generative AI for commercial purposes.

Because?

I mean, that makes perfect sense. Game development is mostly programming, so if you’re an aspiring game developer these are probably inconvenient bits you want to get out of the way rather than what you’re there for.

My impression is that AI stigma generally isn’t mainstream in Japan, so that makes sense. Also wow, y’all are salty.

Anything that grows out of the ground is expensive in Japan in general, so it’s not just the strawberries. You can easily get a situation when making food at home where a simple vegetable salad is as expensive as the rest of the meal combined.

Man I wish I lived in your parallel reality where those where the deal breakers preventing anti-fascist coalitions from forming. Rather than, you know, imperialism and genocide.

and crime (like selling guns, drugs…) for extra money.

I hope you can see the contradiction here. You just said they don’t work and now say that they do illegal work. That should be your first clue that something about your information is wrong, because obviously these two things can’t be true at the same time.

More broadly, the idea that “whole communities of minorities stopped working” because of social welfare is, frankly, bullshit. And not just that, it’s the kind of bullshit that gets repeated everywhere (see: welfare queen rhetoric in America), because its purpose is to rile up working class people of the majority ethnicity against minorities. The fact of the matter is: People like having financial security and nice things, so the vast majority of people aren’t going to stop working because they’re getting the pittance of money that counts for social welfare in even really generous countries. When people don’t work, that’s almost always because they can’t work (see asylum seekers for another example), so whoever is telling you that dirty gypsies are lazily living off your tax money is feeding you bullshit. When it comes to Romas specifically, Romas have been shut out of polite society for centuries now, and it’d be ridiculous to assume that it stopped overnight. But we don’t have to assume; we know it hasn’t. It’s no coincidence that countries without intense and longstanding anti-Roma hatred also don’t have stereotypes about dirty Gypsies living off your tax money.

In past two years we stopped this and now condition social support with behaving.

So is there evidence that Roma crime is in any way correlated with social welfare or are you accepting that this “solution” worked based on vibes?
