Europe seems perfectly happy to fight Putin alone, right now. Europe might lose, but Europe still tries to do what is right there.

Like, it was not all a lie. E.g. the 1991 Gulf War was perfectly morally defensible, while at the same time being in the US economic interest. But there is no inherent problem with defending your economic interest. And the US deserves unqualified praise for the 1999 Serbia intervention to prevent a genocide in Kosovo.

What the US is doing in Venezuela is (at least Trump thinks so) in the US economic interest. But completely amoral at the same time.

If America, Russia, and China is going to be evil, then Europe is also going evil for sure.

I don’t see why Europe would necessarily turn evil.

What is the point of fighting evil

Traditionally, America has seen itself as standing for goodness, morality, doing the right thing, Democracy, etc… Most of the voters have, at least.

Trump does not think that. Look at Venezuela: It is open and blatant colonialism, resource extraction. Trump has just come out and said that he doesn’t care if the Venezuelan people have freedom and democracy - Trump only cares about profiting from resource extraction. Now maybe America has sometimes acted like this in the past, but Trump openly stating it is new.

This open disregard for doing doing what is morally right is a new thing. Which Trump can do without consequences from Republican voter, apparently - Trump still had ~90% approval among them, last I checked.

So in conclusion, asking “What is the point of fighting evil” is a non sequitur - Trump is not claiming to be the good side fighting evil. Trump represents this as “being strong” (=fascism…). And Republicans are cheering.

As another example, look at Ukraine. Rarely have I seen a more black-and-white, good-vs-evil conflict. A fascist dictator is invading a budding democracy, with the openly stated purpose of annexation, without even pretending to have a casus belli. With Putin openly doing warcrimes left and right, torturing and executing prisoners of war, threatening nukes, and sending his own soldiers on suicide “meat assaults”. And yet, Republicans and Trump seems more sympathetic to Putin than Ukraine.

It is sarcasm making fun of their religion. Iranians think their faith in Allah will save them, but Trump bombing will demonstrate that Allah will not save them. Demonstrating (according to Trump) that Islam is a fake religion, unlike Christianity.

Trading by those who can influence the outcome — participants may not trade on any contract if they hold a position of authority or influence sufficient to affect the outcome of the underlying event.

So it is illegal - but whether it will stop people from doing it is a separate question.

In Orban’s own mouse-lion fable analogy, the lion(=Russia) has done a great favor for the mouse(=Orban) earlier.

Sooooo - what exactly is it Putin has done for Orban, to put Orban in debt to Putin? And with Orban being a selfish fascist bastard, why does Orban feel so stridently obligated to pay Putin back?

Well, yes. But how would a pirate radio be any better?

It sure would be nice if Hungary was “at the service” of its nominal allies in the EU and the democratic West. Instead of being at the service of Putin, who sees us as his enemy.

Never have to worry about the fact that US probably already sold the gold

People keep saying stuff like this. But I have never seen even a shred of evidence that it is true. A good tinfoil hat conspiracy theory should at least have some hint of its reality.

They are fascists. They have quite clearly stated that the same rules should not apply to them, as they apply to others. That is literally what “America First” mean, as they have clearly stated. You can scream “hypocrisy” at them until you are blue in the face, and they will snigger and think you are stupid.

The member would never have said it in the first place, if the school board culture was not already like that.

None of those in that list are fleeing soldiers, which is the case I listed. You are obviously incapable of reading comprehension, so it is meaningless for me to reply further.

An attack on an unarmed vessel during a ceremonial voyage 2000 miles from the illegal war… yeah no. Not a valid target.

You are literally allowed to shoot fleeing soldiers, under the Geneva Conventions. I agree that the war itself is illegal, but under the laws of war it was a valid target. Please stop saying false things because they feel “truthy” to you.

Looking in from the outside, it seems to me that large parts of the US population have no moral compass. Putin is comic book evil, and yet large parts of Republican voters think Putin is a great guy. In non-Soviet Russia, of all shithole places.

since the chat bot is more likely but not certain to write secure, bug-free code, it does not in fact work

Humans are not certain to write secure, bug-free code. So human code is useless, by the very same metric?

What kind of “logic” is that?

America First as defined by Trump explicitly means “We can fuck with you, you can’t fuck with us”. They are not hiding it or packaging it in moral terms of universal ethics or the golden rule.

So there is no “gocha” moment here. Trump explicitly doesn’t think EU countries are his equal, so appealing to hypocrisy is meaningless. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do.

So I don’t know if all the other replies are pretending to be stupid, but the shown prompt is not stupid.

If you include stuff like that section in your prompt, then it has been shown that the AI will be more likely to output secure code. Hence of course the section should be included in the prompt.

If it looks stupid but it works, then it is not stupid.

So fuck Vance, but it seems to be perfectly consistent with America First?

For Trump “America First” means exploiting other countries. If Vance can get an exploitable government elected in Hungary, then why wouldn’t it be good for “America First”?

It is a stated goal for Trump to break up the EU. To be able to force one-sided trade deals with weaker isolated countries instead. Victor Orban is the person doing most to sabotage the EU. Hence it is in “America First”'s interest for Orban to be reelected.

We need pirate radio

Eh, what? In the old days, the means of mass communication were limited or expensive, so sure stuff like pirate radio made sense.

But nowadays, anybody can start an Internet radio station for very little money. Or a YouTube channel or whatever. The problem is people not listening, not that they are prohibited or prevented from listening to you.

I hope you are being sarcastic and not an ignorant monster.

The war is evil. But a military ship is legally a valid target. The lying characterization that a warship is not a valid target is what we object to. We don’t like liars.
