    If you can find me a governance representing more than 100 million people that is genuinely good, with no ifs ands or buts about it, I can prove that you are the brainwashed one.

      Absolutely wild to try and assert that westerners who think China is good are “brainwashed”. Like literally you are doing the meme.

        Hmm, must be an llm, they never said the word perfect. They never said anything had to be perfect.

        How does that feel?

          Well kind of funny because it’s not at all comparable to what you’re trying to compare it to. Also I never called anyone an llm I asked if they used it as it left an artefact.

        I need it to stop doing evil things first. I am all for reducing the evil, less evil is always great and ill always vote for a lesser evil. But dont expect me to a government structure good if it is still doing evil things. Ill call a politician good if they want to decrease the evil. But I will not call a country good if its still evil.

          Ok. So all you’ve done is come up with a definition that means every country is evil, making it pointless to even talk about.

          Awww, baby’s first analysis! Do the good guys wear the white hats (and the bad guys the black hats) so you know exactly who they are?

          Good grief. You presumably have a brain, please try and use it. This is no way to have an adult conversation.

          It’s wild to me that grown adults still use “good” and “evil” as an actual heuristic

              It’s a useless heuristic, because it’s a fuckin magical metaphysical one. If you’re not a christian who believes in a spirit world, then stop letting the church define reality for you. Good and evil as concepts have no more valence on physical reality than karma or sin, and have no power to explain why things happen.

              Children think in good and evil. Adults think in cause and effect. Be scientific.

                  If anything, done by people like them. A ML user posted this in ML itself, some of the folks from other instances come in with bad faith and/or bullcrap arguments, other ML users come in to defend and debunk, and we’re apparently the ones brigading in our own space.

          I have a question, what is your opinion on lesser evil? Is America the lesser evil in your opinion?

            America is evil. There are politicians who are lesser evils within the usa. They dont make the US not evil, just less evil.

            I don’t know individual politicians in china, but im sure there are plenty of lesser evil politicians there. That doesnt mean china isnt also doing evil things. I hope the evil reduces there. And in the usa. And everywhere else.
