What "wall mart security room"?

The "DEF CON" itself is taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Apparently it has a spy camera system that puts your average British Telescreen-enabled city to shame.

The "ban" on glasses is just dumb grandstanding by corporate sleaze that poses as "hackers" at the "DEF CON".

It used to be different, but that was so many years ago that even the memories of it are now vague.

An elegant retreat, if there ever was one, LOL.

Which part is "untrue", the important, decision-making part of MAGA being white? Or that their most distinctive demographic traits are being white and "christian"?

LOL, buddy, you're not even trying. There are like 2-3% token non-whites in this admin, and these are as corrupt as the white MAGAts, Kashyap being, of course, the most iconic example of this lot. And they create constant tension among the unwashed MAGAts, who don't like rich Indians any more than they like "uppity Negroes".

Why, yes. Certainly the penniless proletariat doesn't buy too many media outfits. Or perhaps you have a counterexample that establishes a pattern flash?

Because I sure can show a pattern of capitalists purchasing media to influence politics in "capitalist democracies" and I sure can demonstrate this is a major failure mode of the "capitalist democracy" in principle :)))

So, they don't buy it and my "assumption" - actually an observation - stands. This mode of failure is unique to capitalism :)

No, not the same thing at all. But you're too dumb to understand the concept of subversion of democracy by capitalist "democracy", as the LLM expounded for your benefit, which you failed to cash on. :)))

Whenever you open your mouth logic leaves the room. Case in point: I've not used "billionaire" even once, yet you, the functionally illiterate moron, keep mentioning this word in relation to my comment. Why?

Because, like every other moron you like your strawmen. They are so easy to build and defeat that you naturally run away from a real argument into a fight with your own demons. So dumb, you can't see the topic or stay on it. Sad, tommy, low IQ. Strawmen are a logical fallacy, not logical reasoning :)

Note in passing that the "serious" Gemini expansion of my original point also doesn't mention "billionaires". Why? Because, tony, the LLM is smarter than you and unlike you he can stay on topic. Unlike you ;)

What "logical arguments"? You don't understand logic. Let me remind you how dumb you are.

You asked this:

" how, exactly, are you able to tie this particular corruption, to capitalism specifically , as opposed to ordinary corruption?", "this particular" being the purchases of mass media by billionaires in order to manipulate public opinion.

The answer was already in the comment you replied to, but since I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed and can't read well, I asked the LLM to expand on the explanation I had already provided. It did a stellar job, precisely because it stayed within the bounds of your question and my comment and because the data it is trained on confirm my answer.

So, again, your question was answered three times - by me, preemptively, and by the LLM in two ways.

And you still failed to understand that

1. Your question was answered before you asked it
2. It was answered three times
3. You still didn't get that it is the answer you asked for

What can I tell you except to repeat - you're dumb as fuck.

like i said, you're hopelessly dumb.

I read about it in a scientific report published ages ago, the title was "Currents of Space". It was, I believe, written by some unsuccessful chemist. Very readable, as far as those papers go.

LOL, no. The real AfD cheerleaders are mostly people with a cosy connection to the East German communists of old; people who long for the days when their grandparents ruled just by staying loyal to Moscow. Which also goes a long way toward explaining their cozy relationship with the putin regime.

There’s no actual “right-wing” or “left-wing” to them. They’ll happily parrot whatever anti-democratic, authoritarian talking points you hand them—Marx, Hitler, the Heritage Foundation, Ceauescu, Verwoerd, Netanyahu—you name it, as long as it helps them grab and hold political power.

And naturally, as their movement grows, every other opportunistic piece of shit, right wing or right wingnut, who thinks an authoritarian state will hand out promotions and perks gravitates toward the winners.

As the old Soviet slogan would go today: “Deplorables of the world, unite!”

Wow, what a blast from the past! I remember this very comment, word for word, from late 2006.

The "AI" crowd just can't let the bubble pop, kind of like putin can't let go of Ukraine or trump of his Iran war. So much power while it lasts...

Yeah, for a bunch, whose creed is "fuck your feelings", they sure whine a lot.

Of course not, smartypants. I simply provided the LLM with my statement and asked it the very question Tony asked.

The LLM "understood" me perfectly and expanded that in a way a functionally literate person who prefers less dense language would understand. You can even try it yourself.

Not at all. Unlike you, I can readily analyze a situation which doesn't necessarily involve me.

I take it you support the people who call 'fire' in a crowded theater then? Even when you know the stampede will very likely kill your child?

Then you're okay with people telling everyone how you beat your wife and rape your children?

You should visit.

"Your values" are things that you've borrowed from Europe. There is not a single "American" value that doesn't have its roots in the culture of Europe. There is only one reason to claim otherwise - ignorance.

Wow, you're dumber than Laura Looner. That's quite sad, you should try to develop that kilo of brain of yours.

Not necessarily, we've all seen those books and movies where the simpletons sitting on it can be manipulated by a skillful actor or actress.

There must be a reason these were written/made.

Until there are enough brexit imbeciles that good ole Mathias can make good money off.
