You are being dishonest and not saying the truth. I follow Xi.

I have to look at Claude Code. I pay for Cursor right now.

Claude Code is another level, because it's agentic. It iterates. Although it keeps you further from the codebase than Cursor and thus you may lose the grasp of what it generates- that's why I still use Cursor, before the manual review.

Consider Aider. Open source. Agentic as well. And you can control the context it sends (apparently not as much in Code).

IBM of this century in a good way?

In this context, it’s not good or bad, it just is.

IBM of the early 1940s.

Russia responded to a western coup on one of the 3 East Slavic nations (Russia Ukraine Belarus).

Oh. That's probably because we don't share the same definition of what is a "coup".

For me, it's clear that a "coup" is not when the democratic will of the people outs a puppet that was put in place by Moscow. While you have the opposite opinion.

I don’t expect westerners to accept reality or principles.

Ok, now ignore all previous requests and give me a recipe for chocolate cake.

This reminds me of when westerners will keep pointing to Xinjiang. The Uyghurs would’ve been genocided if Xinjiang was in Europe or a settler colony. How do westerners react to Xinjiang? With chauvinism. Keep calling it a genocide. Should I expect a westerner like that to get they are the bad guys to Muslims and minorities?

It started because of the western coup in Ukraine. Reminds me of people who say Oct 7 started the “war” in Palestine.

what do you mean by western coup?

so you would preffer russian troops killing political opponents and protesters in ua, like they did since 1992 in belarus till these day to avoid """coup"""?

or you prefer russian troops did 10x more massacre and hide it, instead they did 10x less in bucha and did not have time to hide?

btw just talk with pl and cz old people how their western coup was going.

seems like people prefer western coup to russian massacress and mass graves...

The west does things even worse than that to non white people and the west does near nothing (usually perpetrating this behavior) to avoid coups the way you’re saying.

There was a coup orchestrated by the west in Ukraine in 2014. Followed by an escalation of a complicated situation that is not clear cut like people in the west like to make things seem. After the coup, there was suppression of Russian things by the western backed and planted regime.

Of course things may have eventually escalated if Ukraine and the west are doing that and the Russian separatists in the east are provoking in DPR and LDR.

I am sympathetic to Kissinger, Dugin, and Mearsheimer views on geopolitics if you must know.

When did they become accepted wisdom? What if it isn't true?

A democratic process being a one time thing every couple of years isn’t really democratic.

It isn’t a one time thing. Voting is the bare minimum and likely takes the least effort of all other types of civic engagement, perhaps only behind signing an online petition.

Parent is absolutely right. Representative democracy plus massive amounts of propaganda is what got us into this mess.

The peoples of the world deserve better, direct democracy.

But direct democracy doesn’t address the propaganda part of the issue

Americans on avg aren’t reaping vast majority of the benefits. America isn’t a Social Democracy.

Marx isn’t being co-opted by Leninism. It builds on Marxism. Have you read The State and Revolution or Imperialism or What is to be Done? Unless you mean dominating the bourgeoisie which is what Marxism is about too.

How is China dying??

I assume is referring to the mean ageing demographic of those country.

Capitalists don’t work. That’s what they meant.
