Ever notice how conservative companies that deal with information don’t need money?

Better a known locked door than inviting them into your home

Ah yes, the elimination of jobs is always good for society.

Nazis do what Nazis do

No shortage, just price

Oh nooo poor rich people using money nooo! Our system of government is in peril

Why not non “western” people and content, too?

Huh. That can’t be good…

And this is why you don’t give microslop anything

No. Dump Trumped at White House.

All that the sun shines on in my seat is my domain, and I shall do with it what I wish. I dare somebody to put their feet through that glory hole and find out what happens. I’m respectful and plastic can still draw blood.

“This person attacked me!”

“What did they do?”

“They tore several of my toenails off”

“And how did they do that, hmmm?”

Feet are so delicate and are entirely unprotected.

Communists are authoritarians because that’s what communism is, like by definition; it’s hard-left but also authoritarian. That’s literally what separates lib-left from auth-left, the same obviously being for lib-right and auth-right (I’m just going off of the standard four-quadrant political compass, which probably has its own deep, foundational issues).

I have friends who are self proclaimed “tankies”, and talking to them a lot about it, my best understanding of the way they put it is basically:

You need an Iron Fist® to fix anything, and an Iron Fist® to keep it that way.

I also think that .ml probably has a percentage of people from those locations, and most people, period, tend to think their way is the best way. Which is also fairly hard to prove because history keeps being altered and destroyed and humans only live for like 60-90 years and we don’t have a very advanced intergenerational memory. Or maybe we do but just don’t know how to learn very well from it when all it seems to scream is “BREED, EAT, SLEEP, STINKY, TRIBE, SCARY, RUN, FIGHT, SAFE, LOVE”. It’s like some people’s own evolutionary biology tells them to prevent others from learning history to establish dominance and power.

Hard to say whether or not we’ll make it. The solution-path definitely has a lot of construction and destruction.

Basically: fucked up laws

I’m just gonna take it as: people are confident in a belief system that is strongly heiarchial, and therefore can just tell you to fuck off.

…Which, to my brief reading of the neo-c and normal-c Wikipedia entries… Feels antithetical to what I read. But a lot of it seems to just explicitly go against Buddhist and Taoist teachings, and I don’t have the patience to read any more old Chinese philosophy in this context to just understand why the doctors would turn somebody pregnant away.

Also don’t be fucking insane or evil? I feel like that doesn’t need to be said, but it 100% does, apparently.

Strip out all tracking, anti-competitive anti consumerist features, remove all AI, make it secure and with all of the extra and fancy features opt-in.

Literally just make a decent, respectable operating system, and you will win. This is how you win at literally anything right now. Just make it durable and private and secure and not extremely expensive and make sure it WORKS, and people will suck your dick from across the planet.

NOBODY WANTS AI OR MICROTRANSACTIONS OR TO BE PUSHED AROUND OR CONNED, YET THAT’S ALL ANYBODY IS DOING - THE POSITION OF NOT A PIECE OF SHIT IS LITERALLY UP FOR GRABS, YOU JUST NEED TO REACH OUT AND TAKE IT.

Thanks for making that a direct file to a video.

Everything seems to be quite black and white in your world, huh? Something something Sith absolutes.

So then if we’re talking hypothetically, in your overthrown fascist government future, what does civilization look like? I’m curious where you’re coming from and what you see and want and think is the right way to do things, specifically after The Revolution™.

Ahhhh… That’s better than a gap in the earth opening and sending one of the largest cities on earth between tectonic plates to basically hell

That’s sorta fair, so I’d have to argue that the status quo biases toward consumerism or hope or capitalism then
