Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Given how they also are making it harder for foreign intelligentsia to make their way to the States (despite the brief soyrage months back over Trump supposedly "importing" educated Indian workers en masse), I'm curious where the American Right thinks their country's scientific base comes from. Trump is no less vocal than Biden about supposedly wanting to retake America's unquestioned global dominance but whereas Biden's policies at least salved the US's decline, Trump's policies are accelerating it.

Of course, it's more likely that the bourgeoisie in general see the writing in the wall for America's place in the world and are simply strip-mining the place for all its worth. Dems simply think it should be a more calm, measured operation while Reps want to be frantic about it while doubling down on immigration and culture war issues.

It feels to me like it's going all in on ai, so hopefully they work out the kinks in grok so when it's asked for a cure for cancer it doesn't spit out a diatribe on censorship in video games.

i think so too, or at least that's what their silicon valley libertarian faction has told them

and they are also just grifting and know it's all going down, except for a few true believers

I talked to an acquaintance last weekend and I gleaned that he basically thinks this.
