This is what MAO did during the cultural revolution. Intellectuals and ‘professionals’ got sent to work in the communes. Hard to believe that MAGAts are asking for commmnist policies, but then the Kirk thing has surprised me in terms of the policies they want now. Since Kirks policies are no longer acceptable?
It makes sense when you understand that MAGA doesn't really have a ideological base. They are a group of people pissed off on the economic prospects of their lives without having any real understanding on how to fix it.
When you choose your words, you can get a MAGA to be 1000% aggreeable on the "libtard" views they rail against every day. I do it every day and I'm not exaggerating.
Is it possible to learn this power?
People deep in MAGA usually focus on words or phrases as bad, not going deep into the ideas of it. If you can discuss something without bringing up those words or phrases, you can probably get them to agree to something.
They nationalized Intel for chrissakes (ok, partially) and are or have done the same with TikTok. It's like they're doing a bass ackwards play at the horshoe theory. Anything to avoid the middle at Capitalist Socialism.
i think supporting intel was a mistake. intel produces cutting-edge chips, unlike ARM which is significantly cheaper and catching on to intel performance-wise.
Basically, intel can't continue because they're at their natural end of life: with the end of moore's law, it's only a matter of time till ARM catches up performance-wise, and out-competes them on price.
I’m not so sure about that, at least in single-thread applications, but I’m also not sure it matters. When performance reaches a certain point the average consumer doesn’t really need more. And I think we’ve largely reached that point for the average consumer.
yep
Won't someone think of the bitcoin and AI bros?
Though the goals were different. Intellectuals weren't sent from their labor, they were sent to get re-educated because Mao thought they were too bougie.
MAGA's woke is pretty close to Mao's or Stalin's bougie.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
