Only a racist cares about "ethnic replacement". Because only a racist is compelled to classify people living in the same social environment into different ethnicities, and he completely ignores people from different backgrounds having children together, because in his mind, this is an abomination and shall not happen[tm].

The Big Lie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie) worked in the 3rd Reich (and many other places and continues to work) not because the Nazis were a lot better at using it. The Big Lie works because, generally, people are dumb and without insight. Present the average person with anything where disagreeing might incur a cost, and they will readily agree, regardless of what they agree to and regardless of how evil that makes their action.

In the ruling on Wednesday, the court acknowledged that Anthropic "will likely suffer some degree of irreparable harm absent a stay," but that the company's interests "seem primarily financial in nature."

Yeah, the company's interests are financial. That's what companies are for.

Actually, no. That just seems to be the primary motivation to create companies in the US. It is not the only reason and, for people that are not total greedy scum, it may not even be a goal besides financial viability. Profits a entirely optional and there strong evidence that running a company with a primary motivation of generating profits is detrimental for its survival. And society, incidentally. You have fallen for some thinly veiled religious fundamentalist propaganda.

This got me interested. What exactly is he saying there? Does it mean what I think it means - that they immediately shift that money around, possibly through some mixers, to muddle the origin? And, of course, make it better suited to pay their proxies now that Qatar isn't sending suitcases of cash to them anymore?

Thank you for writing that. I was starting to think I'm going crazy and I can't possibly be the only one who sees through that.

If you ignore the messaging, and pay attention to what's actually happening

And if you realize that Trump is just the clown at the helm. There's literally an entire bureaucracy underneath him doing most of the planning, deciding and executing.

Douglas Adams was right. The role of the president is not to excert power, but to distract from it. President of the Galaxy, president of the USA, no difference.

This.

You don't need billions to be care-free. Even double-digit millions in some nice safe assets already give you enough fuck-you-money to be good. And while everyone looks at the super-super-rich and they're in various public lists and tracked by not just the tax authorities, barely anyone knows the multi-millionaires. I know three or so that I'm sure nobody on here has ever heard anything about. They stay quiet, comfortable, private.
