  • You clearly don’t understand how hypocritical this is. We coerced Europe into being this way. It’s only in the last 10-15 years or so that we started asking them to contribute more militarily.

    Our strategy against the Soviets was for Europe to hold them off while the US brought over an expeditionary force that would push the Soviets back. Europe would provide most of the financial support.

    Now some Americans are acting like they ripped us off. Just more backstabbing fake grievance bullshit designed to slander democracies because democracy and pluralism are the enemy now.

    From a pure realpolitik point if view, alienating Europe while they’re beginning their next rearmament era is a pretty fucking stupid move. They have three times our population and it wasn’t that long ago that Europe had the strongest militaries in the world. If they reach that point again the US will not be the global hegemon anymore and Americans won’t like that because we’ve benefited from it economically. Though at this point it’s very clear the world is better off with saner hegemony under other countries.

    We’ll be falling behind China in science and engineering soon enough too. China, the EU and various middle powers are all making moves to fill the soft power hole left by the current administration. All because dipshit magas only believe in hard power and bullying people like cavemen.


  • It’s crazy how being a “leader” in tech just means latching on to the whatever the latest trend is while kissing maximum ass.

    Almost none of these tech companies have their own vision anymore, they just mindlessly copy whatever FAANG or the current trendy startup does.

    Just dealt with this forward deployed engineer bullshit created by Palantir. My company spent six months “exploring” this concept that makes absolutely no sense for us because we already have an established product with thousands of customers… And it took them that long to figure this out. But hey Palantir did it and they’re the trendy guys right now, so we should try it too so we can also be cool.

    Not related to AI but we’re in fully brainwashed mode on that too.
