I’ve been caught, abort mission!
Is it your first time seeing a pussy?
It’s not really the decrease that’s the news here because that decrease is within a margin of error due to other factors. What’s the real news is that the graph has been flat for two consecutive years which is mind boggling!*
Why keep pretending that’s not the case, especially now? What else is required? For Kanye to run death camps?
Why use examples of ones that are no longer fascist. I mean, in Italy we have a post-fascist government after all. There are also some fascist states that have endured quite long like Russia or United States. And that’s for plain fascism. Monopolies and the rich extracting money from societies are as big of an issue because unaddressed they lead to fascism pretty much always.
Yeah. When they had to fight for their user base. Even Tinder was reasonably usable couple of years ago. It paired me with my current partner which must be considered a marvel of technology.
I’m not that old but not that far off either. I live in ruins of that civilisation. I walk the remains of a 15 minute city and I know first hand accounts of people who lived it. I can see that my country somehow solved gender wage gap. Was it perfect? It was awful and authoritarian but that’s what you get when being Russian colony. Doesn’t have to be that way.
That’s kind of a weird benchmark. Wouldn’t you want a more detailed reply? How is quality measured? I thought the biggest technical feats here were ability to run reasonably well in a constrained memory settings and lower cost to train (and less energy used there).
What’s the 1% that did? I want to see where the bar is.
I live in a post-soviet republic, please rethink what you’ve just said XD
I encourage you to stop idolising individualism because it’s not a virtue by itself. There is a significant difference between state and private monopoly that liberals tend to conveniently ignore. I’m a citizen, not a shareholder.
I see plenty. Individualism is the basis of „free” market economy. Free market economy tends to produce monopolies and fascism ;)
I wasted enough of my time which can be spent more productively. I’m pretty sure you’re not really interested. For some it must get much worse before they get it. Goodbye.
I’m not sure I’m following you either, it appears to me that you don’t see a difference between tax and theft. It was common to outgrow this belief but it appears to be common now. I’ll try to explain.
When Meta takes from everyone it’s a bully that takes from the weak who can’t fight back. Meta does it so that they become the biggest fish in the pond as an end goal.
When a state takes from everyone and rich in particular it’s because we don’t to have this kind of big fish in the pond. We just want to chill.
No, why would they? There’s a difference between strong taking from the weak and community taking surplus from everyone.
It sounds like a European soviet republic. Most of them were working reasonably well and were really good at preventing poverty but were stuck in-between being exploited by Russia and artificially cut off from half the world (big reason why they had to fail). Those countries solved problems progressive western democracies couldn’t ever solve, for example gender wage inequality (to the point it endures today). Unfortunately all of us in the „west” are stuck in a death spiral after US and Russia went tits up in the 70s/80s. Maybe we’ll have another go once this is finally done.
When you think payment you think „money” but I think „fair” :) We’ve been broken by capitalist hegemony to the point it’s hard of thinking of something different.
I assume you probably want to know how this kind of leftism is different from others or other ideologies calling themself leftist, rather than for me to write an essay on myself.
I believe in equal opportunity but reject that you should be able to „win” in any system. I believe in empathy over soulless meritocracy. I believe in collective ownership but don’t reject that one is owed for his work. You could say it all stems from egalitarianism but this term has been caricatured by liberals too. For a long time I thought social democracy as an ideology gives you enough levers in the system to steer it toward that goal but time and time again it turned out that in most places SocDem parties are no different from liberal ones and so I learned from past mistakes.
The world is in a mess is that we were told to choose between fascists and pro-market technocrat libertarians pretending to be leftists. This is a worldwide issue that’s doubly important because those liberals guilt trip us for not supporting them and that’s why I’m just laying little bricks here and there. At the end of the tunnel we either rework our society into a socialist one or we succumb to feudal lords again. Years of neoliberal hegemony needs to be undone so I try to go against the grain like that sometimes, hoping I made someone think.
