The wealthy will turn it into a bailout. The US government isn’t gonna ‘seize’ anything. They’ll “compromise” by buying the companies directly from the wealthy, and when it all comes crashing down the tax payers will be left holding the bag.
Isn’t reticulum supposed to be really bad as traffic increases?
I’m homeless. I have a PhD and I guarantee I’ve contributed more to society than this fat cat.
Whoa, he definitely looks better with clothes on.
An election without a lottery option cannot provide consent of the governed. Oligarchic Elections are the governmental equivalent of a rapist asking you where you’d prefer to take it, which honestly explains a lot about the current rapist ruler.
Sounds kinky
Anyone who wants to “draft” (read: abduct and enslave) me will be met with brutal and unflinching violence.
While this thread is very dramatic 🍿 and I’m not sure I have / should have a voice in this, I’m concerned there may be other users on the instance (either now or in the future) that may be caught up in defederation. I’ll abstain since I’m new and probably don’t get a vote anyway, but I do think we should consider the effects on other users.
We already know Trump rapes kids, murders infants, and was heavily involved in human trafficking. If what we know isn’t enough to take him out, he’ll never be held to account.
Corrupt hack should eat shit.
Supposedly I’m not allowed to condone these things I’m not willing to condemn, so we can’t talk about how he ought to die.
They’re there because of mass propaganda and poor education.
Nah, his stealth was low tier.
Was trying to figure out how many Trumps old I am, and created a temporal paradox.
Nah, that brick is being used to build a wall. Anarcho-Isolationism is where it’s at.
Edit: After going down a rabbit hole of polcompball definitions, maybe Non-Interventionistic-Egoism is more where I’m at? Labels are hard, but I like term spooks.
Humans are all gross. I prefer extra curvy pieces of drift wood.
There’s no winning. Any time humans organize the coordinators have both the power and self-interest to corrupt the organization to serve them as individuals or sub-organizations more than the collective, and humans spontaneously self-organize without a pre-existing organizational structure, so it’s not like we can avoid it.
Best we can do is try to make people more independent from each other, quietly act independently, and occasionally remind those with power that taking away people’s individual agency has consequences they’d find undesirable.
Plus, the linux transition process is a lot easier these days. Most the open source programs have a windows version for you to learn on. There’s the linux for windows subsystem to learn the terminal basics. Linux Mint broadly mimics Windows’ interface. Installing linux isn’t the massive challenge to set up that it was ten years ago. I don’t even have windows partition these days.
Honestly, if someone is a Windows user it’s probably easier to slowly transition each of your programs to the open source versions then make the leap to linux than it is to learn Mac’s set up.
Maybe if you don’t know what capitalism is. A lot of people seem to confuse capitalism with markets. It’s had to imagine a world without markets, but capitalism is just an ownership system. It’s easy to imagine a world made up of cooperatives. It’s basically the same world we already have but everyone gets paid more and there are no shareholders.
There’s nothing stopping people from working for or with cooperatives or not working for or with corporations. It’s just that most people can’t be bothered to care. If everyone stopped buying from corporations, corporations would die pretty quick. If everyone bought from cooperatives, they’d be a lot more stable. We’re only picking winners and losers via government contracts. The res of the economy is a free for all.
Nah, they need bag-holders too.
