>>459 I'm not justifying anything, you're just such a low IQ corn(syrup)-fed American teenbro that you still think someone who literally says "the Jews are an enemy of the international workers" is 'alt-right'. Like, do Americans think actual anarchists are right wing now? I guess you're too used to the tribalistic circus show of labels of American politics and if I don't spell out my closest -ism in giant flashing fucking neon letters then you won't understand.

It's not anti-semitic to make the objectively true observation that Jews hold a disproportionate amount of wealth and power compared to their global population size, neither is it anti-semitic to be against Israeli settler colonization. In fact I'd say that's pro-semitic, since Palestinian Arabs are semites too and Israel literally locks them in concentration camps and blockades them to prevent any kind of food or aid or medicine from reaching them. I really don't care if you were triggered by punctuation marks, or about whatever buzzword you just learned on neoliberal twitter this morning.

I spent half an hour trying to help my baby boomer relative turn their laptop on and type their password in so they could log in, but every single time I gave a simple instruction they managed to mess it up. By the end, they didn't manage to do it. They just gave up and got mad at me. As if I'm to blame for their tech-illiteracy.

Things like "press the power button" and "type your password" and "is the computer turned on already?" and "what's on the screen?" are apparently rocket science to old people. I'm not even kidding. That's what I was trying to help him do, and he COULD NOT DO IT. I explained things many different ways, but he just couldn't figure it out. And he blamed ME.

This is a dude with a master's degree from a prestigious university and he can't even fucking press a power button without great difficulty. Typing a password is also apparently frustrating and difficult for him.

Holy fucking shit. Like, he's not a complete moron in all aspects of life. He's a fucking genius in some areas related to his job, but why is he so bad with technology?

Obviously I have no idea what actually happened, which is why I'm giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. There's clearly no need for you to be such an arse about it.

Think about it though, I'm not just learning how to turn my laptop on and read out the contents of a text box. I'm learning the whole interface of a laptop computer, potentially a completely alien concept and setting, trying to get myself to remember all this stuff, trying to figure out and internalize the connections between all of the inputs and outputs of this machine, and thinking about the actual impending task I have to do once I've figured out how to unlock the damn thing, probably on some sort of deadline. All while being hyper-aware of this person younger than me becoming increasingly irritated that I'm not able to carry out this task that they think a chimp could do.

He spent a lot of the time panicking and getting confused and also making defense comments (trying to justify why he couldn't do it, or trying to blame the computer instead of his incompetence). He seemed partly embarrassed or something that he didn't know how to follow my directions so I think he was channeling his brain power into coming up with excuses why he couldn't do it instead of concentrating on the task at hand.

I think he suffers from an "expert" mindset. He is so old and has had a lot of job experience where people see him as a well-educated person, so he has convinced himself that he doesn't need to learn new things, and it can make someone feel vulnerable or dumb to admit that there's something they don't know how to do well, especially if they consider themselves to be really good in other aspects of their lives. So when he had to admit that he didn't understand very basic computer concepts, I think he was less interested in learning it and instead getting more emotional and concentrating on the debate and "face" aspect of the conversation.

I could be wrong though.

Automation is a widely-used word. Automatization is not.

Just look at the difference in popularity between the two words:

So? Neither is incorrect, whereas defiantly is blatantly incorrect and does mean something completely different from what was intended to convey on any dictionary.

You know what's funny about liberals? They blame Russia for everything and imply that Russians are evil and America is great. But at the same time, Russia is communist, whereas America is capitalist. Yet American liberals say communism is great.

If you like communism so much, live in Russia. But wait, that would go against your "everything is Russia's fault" narrative.

Maybe communism would be good for obese Americans. After all, communism is the most efficient way to lose weight. The only problem is... you just keep losing it until you die. You either die of starvation or get gulag'd or disappeared for being anti-communist. That is the endgame for communist regimes.

Morons who don't study history think communism means everyone will live in an egalitarian utopia. Historically, that has never been the case. It's also the communist party that's elite, rich, and powerful, while everyone else is poor as fuck. That's not any better than our current economic issues. In fact, it's even worse.

You need to come up with realistic plans instead of idealized bullshit that will never work in reality. Communism doesn't work. Just because capitalism is flawed doesn't mean communism is the answer. That's a stupid thing to say. Mao, Pol Pot, Lenin, Stalin -- extreme death tolls under actual communism.

Venezuela is socialist. And just look at how well they're doing. You know another socialist party? Germany's National Socialist party (aka Nazis). Guess what? It didn't work economically (not to mention the other issues).

Socialism doesn't work. Communism doesn't work. Capitalism doesn't work. We need to think outside the box.

It was apparently 2013 they updated the definition, so not quite as recent as I thought - but the point I was making was that because a word gained enough widespread misuse amongst the dim majority, they just updated the definition to compensate, lowered the bar if you will.
