Really? A Nazi hellscape is pretty damn close to a Stalinist hellscape is pretty damn close to a North Korean hellscape is pretty damn close to a Pol Pot hellscape. The first of those is right wing. The rest are left wing.

We know the dog was unleashed, hence the fault is completely with the owner of the dog who didn't take care of them.

False. That's not how anything works. You might have been ok there if instead of "completely" you used the word "most of" a little to the left of there.

And the owner should be fined $500 as well since San Francisco as strict dog leashing laws.

This part is correct.

Taken to it's logical conclusion, we should have walls around the beach because someone might walk into the ocean and drown.

We often do have fences around the beach, especially in areas frequented by a lot of people. They can slow down a child enough for an attentive parent to notice and maybe catch up before they enter the surf or fall off a cliff.

As far as trying to drag this argument into the COVID vaccines, that sounds like a horrific weak-ass excuse to dismiss the problems that have risen from those particular emergency-authorized solutions.

What problems? You mean the ones that are way less risky than unvaccinated exposure? Whatever, antivaxxer.

Should we then apply the same logic to very fallible human drivers?

The entire positive side to bureaucracies and committees and governments is that they have enough people in them to do multiple things at once.

Usually when someone says something like what you said and I quoted above here, they are trying to argue that human drivers shouldn't exist. Maybe this is true, for some particular set of truths, but there's always a number of ways you can look at a situation. For example, I would argue that no one and no computer should be driving in the bulk of situations we are currently driving in, because cars are a terrible mode of transportation in the cities where most people live.

Yes, and also the open driver is worth a shit unlike the closed driver for Windows, which provably is not. So not only do you not have the Nvidia driver shittiness, you don't have the AMD Windows driver shittiness either. If you're not deeply into LLMs then AMD is the obvious choice for a GPU for Linux.

Communism was supposed to be about equality and the people controlling everything in a bottom up manner. But the moment you implement it on a national scale you end up with a small inner circle

Nobody has ever tried to implement "Communism without a small inner circle" at the national level, and WITH it, it isn't Communism. Maybe there is no such thing as Communism, like there is no such thing as a completely free market, but nobody ever made a good faith effort to have everyone be equal at that level. There's always the plan to ride atop the masses.

Just redo your constitutional setup.

"Just"

It's super hard to redo our constitution. There's only two ways, one is with fire and the other requires consensus.

It's not that the vast majority of people in the US ain't noticing that fundamentals of the US system have to change.

The vast majority of people in the US don't know shit.
