Is Communism the worst? Or national socialistsm is the worst?

[Badspot]

Is communism fascist and therefore right wing because it's authoritarian?

Is racial testing for employment fascist?  Is the BBC right wing when they do it?  What about when the DNC does it?  What about when the national socialist german workers party did it?

When the government mandates what individuals must spend their money on, is that authoritarian or libertarian?  What about when it's health insurance?

Is everything that NBC or CNN reports a lie because they've been caught fabricating stories in the past?  Is that enough to disprove any fact, just attacking the source? 

Is mandating that you care for your own children authoritarian?  What about when they haven't been born yet?


If you think the world is cleanly divided into left and right, good guys and bad guys, you are a simpleton.

No, and I thought I clarified my meaning a couple of pages ago. PragerU makes a lot of well-researched videos with excellent production value, and obviously everything they claim isn't automatically false just because they've willfully misinformed people on climate change.

But my original post was asking why intelligent conservatives constantly post their videos, rather than just the evidence which PragerU sources from? Why present your arguments within the framework of people who have a proven agenda to misinform?

I don't even think comparing it to NBC/CNN/FOX/whatever is appropriate because at least those kinds of networks are stratified and syndicated. Sean Hannity might claim that Hillary murdered Seth Rich, but he's still somewhat of an independent entity that Fox has the power to punish for bad journalism. It's highly unlikely that there was only one producer/creator on the PragerU team that was responsible for making all their awful videos about climate change.

Every single video streaming service loses money already.  Adding in required ISP bribes will make them lose even more money.  Expect to see vertical integration, with content being produced, marketed and distributed by the same entity with brand specific deals for the last mile - ie "stream netflix free! with your $100/mo verizon ultimate plan".  Big players like disney, google, amazon, etc may look to acquire or merge with ISPs.  Whoever has the most money and is willing to lose it for the longest period of time will be the last one standing and "win".  

The AI bomb goes off before any of this becomes relevant though.

You think the singularity is going to happen before Netflix decides to get in bed with ISPs?

after writing a 10-page report on technological unemployment, it's not as unlikely as you may think
it'll still take decades though

No, I think AI will have a major impact on society before streaming video loss-leaders empty the coffers of every megacorp that decides to run one.  Everyone talks about AI as if everything is fine right up until we reach human levels of intelligence (2050 at the latest) then it's over.  When we reach human levels of intelligence, that's the end of the end - the day the last human brain is put on a shelf in a museum.  Problems start happening way before that.

As am internet user, I am far more concerned about AI moderation effecting the content I consume than I am about bandwidth throttling.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords
