Dwight is a right wing libertarian character. He hates the government and regulations, specifically he has said that the government is too strict about limiting the use of pesticides. He loves corporations and is always kissing his bosses’ ass to try to climb the corporate ladder. He’s quoted Mussolini. Dwight is the same type of guy as Dr Disrespect.

This is the source of the quote. November 14, 2019. DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
8·5 days agoit was originally broadcast on rumble, which is like a more right wing version of youtube. it was also about an hour longer because rfk would pause the actual debate to give his own answers to the questions.
You can watch the full thing at the link below. warning that rumble is more right wing than youtube.
I understand that AI learns from training data. I was curious more about what was used as training data. I’ve search reddit for mentions of hexbear in the past and there’s actually not many mention on reddit to my knowledge. The meme is also weirdly pro-va*sh, so it would seem the data from a vaush community.
I want to know what the prompt was. How does the AI know what hexbear is?
Despite the fact that western media tells us that the people of DPRK are propagandized. DPRK media has a better analysis of Israel’s war on Gaza than most western media outlets.
He starts by saying “I want to put the current situation into context”, meaning he is creating a hypothetical. “As everyone knows” is a part of the hypothetical, meaning that he is expressing the beliefs of the general public. And by general public, I mean that it was a popular opinion among Americans that Hamas needed to be condemned. It’s hard to judge his tone because of his accent, but if you pay attention to the way that he is speaking, when he is speaking about the general public beliefs in the terms of “we”, he is speaking in a very slow and dull way, which in my opinion seems mocking. But as soon as you begins to talk about Israel’s attack on Gaza, the pace of his words picks up very quickly and he’s more punctual with his words and he seems much more interested in what he is saying. This is all part of a larger comparison where he concludes that he places the blame on Israel.
People seem to say “critical support” as a joke a whole lot seem to never actually use critical support. I don’t agree with everything he says. You can say that you don’t agree with some things that he says and still appreciate that he has taken serious actions against Israel.
I don’t agree with Norm Finkelstein about his anti-transgender beliefs but we still recognize that him as a prominent antizionist figure.
I watched the video and I see that Ofer Cassif says “We condemned totally condemned the massacre which took place” and he keeps using the word “We”. It seems to me that he is using a metaphoric “We”, (I don’t think metaphoric is the right word). He’s using “We” to say that the general public said that they condemned Hamas. He doesn’t say “I condemn Hamas”, he said “we condemned” as he is setting up a comparison. He is setting up a comparison. In his next breath, he says that what the Israeli government is doing to Gaza is far worse. He calls the Israeli government fascist. Then he says “I place the blame on the Israeli government”. Why does he say “we condemned (oct 7)” but then he said “I place the blame on the Israeli government”? Because in the former instance he was expressing the opinion of the broader public and in the latter, he is saying his own beliefs.
No I don’t condemn Hamas. Here’s a couple posts that I have made in the past where I have defended Hamas. https://hexbear.net/comment/4953011 https://hexbear.net/comment/4982719
The point of my post is that I am telling you that the guy in the video is a very prominent antizionist figure. The fact that you don’t know who he is says that you don’t know very much about antizionism because he has been in the news a lot for taking actions against the Israel government.
The guy in the video is Dr Ofer Cassif, who is explicitly antizionist. Search Ofer Cassif on youtube, you will see that he has spoken against Israel on Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, Majority Report and many other news networks. He was born in Israel and has devoted his life to ending the Zionist project. He helped South Africa take Israel to the ICJ.
Editing my post to include that there have been many posts in support of Ofer Cassif on hexbear in the past. Even the beloved SeventyTwoTrillion wrote a news post about Ofer Cassif.
Yes. I posted the article because I agree with it. I like posting good articles from the DPRK.

Marx defines money in chapter 3 of capital. Here’s an excerpt, better to read the whole thing.
These historical causes convert the separation of the money-name from the weight-name into an established habit with the community. Since the standard of money is on the one hand purely conventional, and must on the other hand find general acceptance, it is in the end regulated by law. A given weight of one of the precious metals, an ounce of gold, for instance, becomes officially divided into aliquot parts, with legally bestowed names, such as pound, dollar, &c. These aliquot parts, which thenceforth serve as units of money, are then subdivided into other aliquot parts with legal names, such as shilling, penny, &c. [10] But, both before and after these divisions are made, a definite weight of metal is the standard of metallic money. The sole alteration consists in the subdivision and denomination.
The prices, or quantities of gold, into which the values of commodities are ideally changed, are therefore now expressed in the names of coins, or in the legally valid names of the subdivisions of the gold standard. Hence, instead of saying: A quarter of wheat is worth an ounce of gold; we say, it is worth £3 17s. 10 1/2d. In this way commodities express by their prices how much they are worth, and money serves as money of account whenever it is a question of fixing the value of an article in its money-form. [11]

Posting this as a throwback story of NC history.
In response to the white supremacist Charleston Church Shooting of June 2015, there were public protests for the removal of confederate monuments from public property. In July 2015, North Carolina passes a law which makes it illegal for local governments to remove confederate statues from public property.

Did you just watch Starship Troopers and completely miss the point of the movie?
The production of ideas, of conceptions, of consciousness, is at first directly interwoven with the material activity and the material intercourse of men, the language of real life. Conceiving, thinking, the mental intercourse of men, appear at this stage as the direct efflux of their material behaviour. The same applies to mental production as expressed in the language of politics, laws, morality, religion, metaphysics, etc., of a people. Men are the producers of their conceptions, ideas, etc. – real, active men, as they are conditioned by a definite development of their productive forces and of the intercourse corresponding to these, up to its furthest forms. Consciousness can never be anything else than conscious existence, and the existence of men is their actual life-process. If in all ideology men and their circumstances appear upside-down as in a camera obscura, this phenomenon arises just as much from their historical life-process as the inversion of objects on the retina does from their physical life-process.
In direct contrast to German philosophy which descends from heaven to earth, here we ascend from earth to heaven. That is to say, we do not set out from what men say, imagine, conceive, nor from men as narrated, thought of, imagined, conceived, in order to arrive at men in the flesh. We set out from real, active men, and on the basis of their real life-process we demonstrate the development of the ideological reflexes and echoes of this life-process. The phantoms formed in the human brain are also, necessarily, sublimates of their material life-process, which is empirically verifiable and bound to material premises. Morality, religion, metaphysics, all the rest of ideology and their corresponding forms of consciousness, thus no longer retain the semblance of independence. They have no history, no development; but men, developing their material production and their material intercourse, alter, along with this their real existence, their thinking and the products of their thinking. Life is not determined by consciousness, but consciousness by life. In the first method of approach the starting-point is consciousness taken as the living individual; in the second method, which conforms to real life, it is the real living individuals themselves, and consciousness is considered solely as their consciousness.
This method of approach is not devoid of premises. It starts out from the real premises and does not abandon them for a moment. Its premises are men, not in any fantastic isolation and rigidity, but in their actual, empirically perceptible process of development under definite conditions. As soon as this active life-process is described, history ceases to be a collection of dead facts as it is with the empiricists (themselves still abstract), or an imagined activity of imagined subjects, as with the idealists.
Karl Marx - The German Ideology
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology/ch01a.htmMy understanding of this passage is that in idealist thinking, ideas shape reality but in materialist thinking, material reality shapes ideas.
Marxism does not seem to be rooted in either materialism or idealism
Marx was a young hegelian. Hegel was an idealist. Marxism was created by Marx changing Hegel’s ideas. Dialectical materialism took Hegel’s dialectic and changed it from idealist to materialist.
The tattoo on the left in the photo is Dwight Schrute from the tv show, The Office. His character is the assistant to the manager at a paper company. He lives on a farm in Pennsylvania. He’s a huge nerd and everyone constantly clowns on him. He’s always begging to be promoted. He acts like he has more power at the company than he really does. He’s supposed to be like a parody of right wing libertarians but some people don’t realize that.
