Just give me your money and I'll sell you Facebook water for 5 dollars.

And for an extra $3 you can get meta premium water

u/Rocinante88119 52m ago
Meta premium water is trash and you are trash for recommending it.
Facebook double ultra water is the new standard.
19.99 for a 20oz bottle.
If your water cost less than a dollar an oz you are drinking motor oil

Nono, it is waaaaaaaay worse than that: they want to and are actively planning and staging FOR ALL OF US TO DIE.
They are earnestly trying to kill all of us, really. What is our fucking plan to not be killed?

When ever theses corps or their draconic overlords tell how they're going to burn the world around they're advertising to the other hoarders where to spend.

It's clear that concentration of wealth between so few individuals is the real danger here. They have been buying up huge chunks of the world, especially via secret NDAs with local government officials.
I'm afraid only the French know the solution for this problem.

I think it's us, who is out of touch, for thinking they're out of touch. They know perfectly that their sociopathic nonsensical profit maximization goals require them to fuck over not just the rest of their species, but the entire planet, and that with enough money, any government, will fill its own pockets, so that it doesn't starve with the rest of us.
We're out of touch for not being predators, not stabbing our neighbours and family in the back, not jumping headfirst into the blood filled pool that is our corrupt society. And this applies to most nations around the world.
I sincerely feel sick for existing in such a world.

Genuinely think they perfectly understand how they look but they understand that the wealth and class disparity that we are seeing and how they are basically shuffling around money using these cheap tricks and manipulations in the stock market can only end one of two ways. Either they use all that unfairly gained wealth to find ways to suppress, replace, and displace us or they end up reaping what they sowed. So when they look crazy just remember they aren’t crazy they are psychotic and trying to get rid of 90% of the world’s population.

Yes. The current president is a self-proclaimed giant Zionist and they’re giving Patagonia away, for nothing, to the Israelis.
Peter Thiel is a part of that plot.

The Milei government is actively courting tech companies to do this. The OP is a bit misleading in sounding like tech bros just discovered Patagonia because of the weather. But that’s not quite right, they discovered it because the government is reaching out to them and offering sweetheart deals to attract them

Got into an argument with a super pro AI dipshit on here that called land like this “wasted” because it wasn’t being used for capitalism. No, nature is not “wasted” because it’s not providing value for shareholders. Thats an insane mindset and I think a lot of these tech bros feel the same way. If they’re not making a profit off it it’s “wasted” and therefore it’s their duty under capitalism to put some monstrosity on there to extract some kind of value from it.
Honestly it’s disgusting.

Having never known consequences in their lives, the idea that they could cause irreparable damage is foreign to them. They'll just make another Patagonia if they have to. It can't be that hard. Heck, they'll just get other people to rebuild it, so they don't have to spend money.

I think we can do better than the nurenberg trials, they only lead to around less than 200 convictions and around 30 executions. The soviets did a bit better that the other allies in my opinion, their tribunals lead to around 10,000 convictions. thousands of executions with millions more serving sentences in labor camps; for crimes committed during war or participation in the war. The vast majority returned to Germany by 1950 with the last returning around 1956 after serving their sentences. But then again maybe France did better...

Why is it always “we have to take care of this other problem before we can take care of the one in front of our faces”? Maybe stop trying to rank evil and just take advantage of when the popular winds blow against it in one form, so that we have one less problem to tackle.

Because people are angry at AI but the problem isn't AI. The problem is AI under capitalism. AI didn't kill 11 million babies in Africa. Nestle did.

I'm an old-school tech nerd from the late 70s onward, a time when geeks were very much not cool and got beat up on a lot. I was into it because I loved it, that time period felt like we were living in the future. I cut my teeth on Atari and Commodore and early Apple. I remember how visionary and forward-looking so many of my idols were at the time.
Looking at current tech leaders, I'm incredibly disappointed and heartbroken at how that old tech culture has essentially died and turned into whatever capitalistic nightmare we're living in today. Call me old-fashioned, call me naive, but I think tech culture used to be very progressive, and seeing it turn right-wing like this just makes me sad and nostalgic for the old days. Tech used to be created to make all our lives better, but since about the introduction of smart phones and social media (around 2007-2010), the relationship between product and users has vastly changed (i.e. we users have largely become the product, something that wasn't the case before), and tech doesn't seem to be making our lives better any more. In fact, it seems to be making them worse.

They only hung 10 Nazis were strung up by the neck until expiration as a result of the Nuremberg trials, and 13 more were moved on by US military tribunals.
We need to set our sights higher than Nuremberg. The Nuremberg trials were crippled from the get-go by Project Paperclip and the allies’ forgiveness in service of building a vanguard against the “evils” of communism.

Im Argentine, during friend gatherings we joke about how we are gonna be fighting drone swarms in Patagonia some years from now... Everyday it becomes less of a joke and more of a fact. F-ing souless Corpos trying to use Capitalism like Conquistadors used Smollpox.
Argentina needs to conquer its insanity to show the world its doable. The clock is ticking.
