Impossible challenge: name a scenario in which the socialists’ warnings to the public haven’t come true.

Also about the last part, the neoliberal wing of the Democratic party (basically the entire thing) has been paid off by billionaires, and is therefore incompatible with leftist idiology. When one side says “we want single payer healthcare” and the other says “we believe in the need for the profit motive in the healthcare industry and we will block any and all attempts at diminishing the profits of health insurance corporations,” then those two sides have inherently incompatible idiologies and compromise is impossible.

Also about the tone policing, I believe that was a literal psyop by the neoliberal wing and billionaires in order to push people away from left wing (socialist) idiology. See: the CIA’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, which perfectly describes this method of sabotaging (in this case) a political movement. There’s also the side effect of people who buy into tone policing doing the work for them and not focusing on economic issues.

In the Vanity Fair article, Ivana Trump told a friend that her husband’s cousin, John Walter “clicks his heels and says, 'Heil Hitler,” when visiting Trump’s office.

This was an article written in 2015.

Of course, this must mean that the minimum wage will increase by an equal percentage, right?

Right?

They covered the victims’ faces so the cowards maybe won’t have to live with what they’ve done.

Y’know, “love” and “generosity.”

It’s also totally possible to survive on a cross for three days and for someone to take you down while you’re unconscious and put you in a cave.

Twice

Kind of gross and threatening even as an adult TBH. But yeah, definitely worse as a child.

You can edit post titles in Lemmy.

Ever notice how Republicans all at once and very rapidly stopped talking about paper ballots?

I write it in plaintext then email it to myself. For my email password, I write that down on a sticky note next to my monitor with my webcam pointing towards it with Skype and Zoom always running so I can look at it when I’m not at home. I always make sure to turn 2FA off as well, since that gets annoying and isn’t very convenient.

I might choose to mirror the webcam stream to a public RTMP stream later, but not sure yet, since I think that might open up some security holes.

Cartridges cost a lot more to produce than cheap, plastic discs or modern, SD card-esque flash storage.

I think the reference to weed stores is more about the lack of motivation than the milk.

Or just cut out the middleman and use isopropyl alcohol, which is what you’re doing with the marker anyway, but without adding the extra ink.

Basically the same stuff as that whiteboard cleaning fluid.

The more you grow older, the more you realize everyone is LARPing everything, and it has always been that way.

Democracy isn’t the problem; it’s the money in politics, which is an intended effect of capitalism.

Capitalism is the problem. Capitalism by its very natire is a system of economic distribution where you have an owner class who control a working class via wages, where the working class will never be paid what they are worth due to the profit motive that the owner class has when it comes to the profit of their business. Shareholder capitalism makes this even worse, as the profit year-over-year must ALWAYS go up, as that is how stock price increases. It is to the point where shareholders sue companies not for losing money, but for making less money than they did the year prior, and they win.

Imagine an alternative where you could have democracy in your workplace (worker-owned coops). You would be able to hire and fire your boss with a vote. You will be able to determine the direction of the business, also with a vote. This could be the reality if we just forced all corporations to be worker-owned coops.

This, combined with a hard wealth cap and a UBI, will prevent any one person (or small group of people) from gaining enough power to buy a government, and the addition of democracy in business will also make business interests harder to corrupt as well.

“Terrorish”

Yeah, even if mpv isn’t your flavor, you can always install countless other video players. If you want something familiar, just use VLC.
