Thanks for that, I was starting to get hopeful for Britain. Only hope for that island is as a future Atlantis.

You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen

I dare you to guess which one said this.

An actual leftist British political party? Idk man, sounds antisemitic to me.

Who wants to bet on whether Corbyn will join? Idealistic and conciliatory as he was, at least Gaza was one of the good wedge issues he never seemed to back away from. He also got a lot of flak for his "Stop the War Coalition" thing for ending Ukraine's War.

github(dot)io markdown pages are free and accouts require no personal information to create.

Tfw when you want to demilitarise the police, but the civilian police also sucks.

[Tankies'] positioning, further to the left than subreddits like r/communism, r/socialism, and r/Anarchism

Bruh r/communism is unapologetically gonzaloist, they're even further 'left' than we are lol

The figure doesn't even imply that, that sort of graph has no concept of "intensity" for positioning. The colours being different just means that (assuming it was well done) the red communities are more similar among themselves than the orange communities.

So their "further left" is just either a massive ass-pull or they actually think that their clustering model has an implicit politicalcompass system in the position of plotted clusters.

There's a sort of logic to having a weak military in Mexico. Their only land neighbours are the USA, Guatemala and Belize. Neither south neighbour is a threat, and despite the USA being really inefficient there's no way Mexico could fight toe-to-toe with them if they were directly invaded.

They also don't have any strategic overseas rival like an imperialist power would.

So not only can you save lots of budget in the military, but it also reduces the harm that a well-funded and organised military can be to the "internal enemy", which is usually poor, indigenous, black or otherwise marginalised people. (Usually with the cover of "combatting drug trafficking")

Bribing the military is also part of the CIA modus operandi for interfering in Latin America. Just look at the current investigation on the Bolsonaro coup attempt and how many of the relevant generals took part in the MINUSTAH.

But I also don't think the USA will ever be able to directly attack Mexico without gigantic repercussions to themselves. They're better off just doing another Allende.

I think it might just be because Hexbear is "difficult to understand". If you pick random high score comments from there without context and show it to a data-driven nerd, I doubt they'd even be able to describe what's going on.

But since federation, at some point any (naïve) analysis of either forum will inevitably include a lot of posts from the other. This could be an actually interesting area for social network research (social dynamics between "native" and "foreign" users in an instance), but since there's no ready-made model for this in scikit-learn the Data-Driven bros will never risk actually doing research.

Besides being a fucking ugly graph where you can barely read the node labels, I also like that this one pretty much admits democrats are clustered along the other reactionaries.

They also don't describe how they even got that clustering (or the network itself) in the first place. I think it's safe to assume they either nicked it from the web or got an inexperienced intern to just do whatever with a Jupyter notebook.

Is it a network of "common posters"? Of links in sidebar? In cross-posts?

Data science is what happens when "programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers" is taken to its most extreme. This field needs a purge, for the sake of all actual statisticians.

Science is when you never show your methodology, because it came to you in ~~a dream~~ a linear regression.

Edit: why the heck is Anarcho_Capitalism plotted between Feminism, feminisms and Radical_Feminism?

It's not a real Onion article though. It's just an edit of this one about Al-Qaeda. Check the dates, it's the same one.

Not sure how foreign media is reporting on this, but this seems like a huge event. One of the biggest non-aligned nations (both in population, size and economy), under their most conciliatory president, is cutting ties with Israel.

This reporting is some "literally 1984" shit, with the guy thinking of the many ways the "perpetrators" could've been caught on camera in order to be punished for breaking an empty machine. Actually disturbing shit.

But then you read his bio and learn he's just another vampire. His stock portfolio is way more important to him than the drivers' jobs, the safety of the roads or the lives of the people who broke his little toy.

I worked on Google's car team in its early years and am an advisor and/or investor for car OEMs and many of the top startups in robocars, sensors, delivery robots and even some flying cars.

May this car be the first of many.
