"Learn how to code" was the smug response of mandarin liberals (or was it pink slip libertarians?) to the crisis of working class Amerik(w)a. Or something. But 50% of all code is apparently made by AI these days. So now what? "Learn how to monitor AI coding"?
What if I just want my fucking real physical job back? We are monitoring the situation...

En debattartikel om pedofilskandalen inom SD. Av - gissa vem - Kajsa Ekis Ekman.
Och apropå detta. Andra kan kommentera på min blogg, men absurt nog kan *jag* just nu inte göra det?! Inte ens anonymt. Ett problem som återkommer med ojämna mellanrum. Alltså har jag tagit in en kommentar av mig själv relaterad till debattartikeln, en kommentar som egentligen hör hemma under föregående blogginlägg.
SD och misstanken om barnporr - en lång historia
"Alexander Bard tillhör nog samma miljö. Alltså en hedonistisk libertarianism som glidit över i alt-höger. Bard hade också något slags kopplingar till Medborgerlig Samling. Riksdagskandidat? Pinsamt för SD att de inte upptäckte detta...jag antar att de vill projicera en lite annan image? Nooshi Dadgostar antydde förresten i en riksdagsdebatt nyligen att Centern har ett pedofilproblem, så pedofilnormalisering verkar finnas överallt. Tror att pedofilerna försöker utnyttja trans-frågan till att flytta fram sina positioner."
Eller kanske inte. Gjorde SVT:s valbarometer. Dock väldigt snabbt. Resultatet blev 75% SAP, 71% SD och (konstigt nog) 67% M. De partier jag har minst gemensamt med är C (53%) och MP (49%). Med undantag av Kristerssons notering låter detta ganska rimligt. Hur jag sedan faktiskt tänker rösta är en annan sak. Observera förresten att jag faktiskt hade just SAP och SD i topp även inför förra valet.
In case anybody gives a damn.
Richard Spencer mocking Richard Hanania. Actually quite funny...
And very "in-house".
Roko´s basilisk is a silly thought experiment which apparently mind-fucked members of the "Rationalist" on-line community. I don´t know who they are and little motivation finding out. Some kind of autistic tech nerds spinning the usual blend of libertarianism, transhumanism, NRx and other quite irrational bunk?
Roko´s basilisk is obviously inspired by an idea found in certain forms of Christianity. If you never heard the Gospel, you will be saved since not hearing the message wasn´t your fault. However, if you *have* heard the Gospel and reject it, you will go to Hell. In other words, hearing the Gospel might actually *endager* your soul - a rather absurd and paradoxical situation (which logically should make Christians stop all their missionary activity). Roko´s basilisk is *exactly* the same idea but with God replaced by an intelligent machine. Another confirmation that certain atheists are simply constructing a simulacrum of Christianity or theism-in-general. The bizarre ideas about retro-causation are presumably inspired by God´s omnipotence and the fact that He stands outside of Time itself, which perhaps leads to various paradoxes.
And then there are the Zizians...
The Zizians are supposedly an off-shoot of the Rationalist subculture, although it´s difficult to see any obvious connection. They are allegedly a cult preying on vulnerable trans-people, and may be responsible for at least four murders. Apparently, the Zizians claim they can save people from Roko´s basilisk?!
Oookay...
I admit that I completely missed this particular cult/cultic milieu. But yes, I´ve heard of Roko´s basilisk before. Of course, I´m not terribly impressed by these Silicon Valley-adjacent counter-cultures. Still, it´s interesting that some of the biggest pro-AI crazies may be busy actually developing, well, AI. Which makes the entire basilisk scenario a kind of strange self-fulfilling prophecy. Until the real God (or just lack of good ol´ electricity) puts an end to this silliness once and for all!
I have spoken.
Dude! So I assume Styxie isn´t a libertarian anymore? I mean, you need a fairly powerful federal government to build the kind of trinkets he talks about here. Neutron bombs, space-based nukes, doomsday weapons, maybe the Drona weapon?! Who do you think invented the A-bomb? FDR cough cough New Deal cough cough...
Half of Europe´s population died horribly during the Black Death circa 1350. Yet, here we are. Carthage was destroyed by the Romans. But then, it was rebuilt. So was Jericho. Baghdad was genocided by the Mongols. Yet, there it is. China and Russia has collapsed repeatedly through world history. They are still great powers.
Oh, and then there´s Atlantis. Gone in fire and gravel, right? But we´re here. And we´re more advanced than the Atlantids. All of humanity drawned in the Flood, except for one family. Today, the world´s population is much higher than in the times of Methuselah. The Nazis killed six million Jews. Yet, there are more Jews today than ever before in history. Millions of American Indians died due to lack of immunity to European disease. Yet, there are more (un)American Indians today than ever before. They run entire nations.
And btw, flying cars do exist. I´ve seen them on the evening news.
So what´s the problem really?
Is Spiked´s flirtation with Trumpite right-wing populism finally over? Did they really expect "British fair play" from *that* quarter? Or have they simply decided that the Trump Train isn´t lucrative anymore, and decided to strike out for greener pastures somewhere else? I mean, the U-turns of this outfit are near-legendary! Cough, cough, Living Marxism, cough cough.
The author predicts that the "Woke right" will call him "gay and retarded". LOL! Maybe, but I have to say that the meaningless insult "Woke right" is pretty "gay", if you must use homophobic internet slang. Or at least retarded...
Why can´t the right say that the death of Renee Good was a tragedy?
Overheard on the internet (on Spiked´s website, if you must know):

Är detta Aftonbladets svar på Liberalernas föreslagna förbud mot strypsex? Aftonbladet kallar sig "oberoende socialdemokratisk". Det verkar vara ett väldigt brett begrepp.
Tydligen.
Anti-Semite crypto-Nazi Incel Nick Fuentes (yes, he again) wants to sabotage the Trump-supported gubernatiorial campaign of Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio. This despite the fact that Vivek is running against a very liberal Jewish woman?! So when push comes to shove, Fuentes prefers liberal Jewish females to dark-skinned East Indian "anchor babies".
LOL. Why doesn´t he consider Jews to be "anchor babies", I wonder? I think it´s obvious that Fuentes is a meme at this point. Maybe he always was. I mean, the guy´s the chief Groyper! The Groypers were the most "based" faction of the on-line Alt Right during the Twitter Silver Age, but the Alt Right was always a post-modernist fart in cyberspace, so none of the above should surprise us.
Probably not the most objective take on offer, and I can´t really stand Spiked, but I can´t help linking to it...
It´s like a drug or something.
The Your Party conference is the funniest thing I´ve seen in years
Or perhaps not. The essay below (by libertarian gadfly Richard Hanania) argues that the Republican party might get "Groyperized" and hence become even more populist (in the bad sense of that term), racist and conspiracist (including anti-Israel). The Groypers are a peculiar Alt Right subculture on the internet associated with the influencer Nick Fuentes. It does seem correct that Fuentes recently went from shunned fringe-Nazi to almost-respectable right-wing personality. Hanania argues that the apparent 2028 GOP frontrunner, J D Vance, must adapt to Groyperism or else face a hard populist backlash.
Hanania also says that while it´s true that the Groypers are internet-based, such a movement can still influence or even change a political party. Well, I disagree. There are only two ways in which hardline populists can get influence. Either by forming a highly centralized organization IRL (not some chatbox on the web) and use it to capture the Republican party, the federal apparatus, and the like. Or by getting the tacit or open support of an establishment faction, but this will only happen if the populist agenda has become "structurally" (so to speak) necessary for that particular faction.
If not, what will happen is what already took place in 2016: a wing of the establishment (in this case some of the "RINOs") will use populism to win elections, but then go for business-as-usual. Which is exactly why the first Trump administration was so ineffective. Trump seems more efficient this time around, but that´s obviously because some other establishment faction has decided that the US needs to become more authoritarian, using the power-hungry and vengeful president as their instrument. The "people" has nothing to do with it, and neither has some subculture of weirdos on X (frankly, the idea is ridiculous).
For instance, if the GOP ever dumps Israel, it will be because of some elite interest in doing so, not because the "base" has suddenly become more, shall we say, "based" on the Jewish Question. If the world looks similar in 2029 to what it does in 2025, Vance as president will simply continue Trump´s policies, regardless of what rhetoric he may have spouted during an election campaign. This will include continued support for Israel, a willingness to take generous donations from Qatar, and even cheap immigrant labor so the Coca-Cola Company can use cane sugar to sweeten the drinks of the Great Leader emeritus (DJT).
I know that the Alt Right has long labored under the illusion that *they* elected Trump in 2016 (also a Democrat talking point) when actually it was White workers in blue wall states (hardly the main constituency of Irony Twitter) switching parties. Maybe the Groypers (the last surviving Alt Right faction?) have similar illusions about their present influence. So here is my prediction: there will never be an Incel Revolution.
A lot of rumors on YouTube right now about Xi being dead, purged or overthrown. Yeah. We´ve heard doomsday prophecies about China´s impending collapse for over 20 years now. And it´s still there. Stronger than ever.
So nah, won´t disturb my chill down at the café...
It seems Styx is back on shore again. Never liked his "pirate" period. Here, he discusses the free speech conundrums in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
I won´t link, but I just learned about "kush" and "tranq". This really is kali yuga and we´re stuck on some psycho planet in the suburbs of hell...
Meanwhile, libertarians want to legalize all drugs, yeah, whatever.
