  • Shout out to my engineering homies.

  • It will still happen is a bit of a fallacy. It’s one less person doing that job but I agree that one person won’t make a meaningful change

    However the thing that changes is that if you reject that job you reduced by 100% your direct contribution to people killing missiles. Someone else will design that missile but at least you won’t have to live with the guilt that you did

    Now, if it’s between that and a much worse life, I won’t blame anyone. But it’s a choice that everyone has to make for themselves. Personally I have possibility to reject those offers, and so I do.

  • Zohran Mamdani’s Proposal For A Millionaire Tax

    Jump

  • FYI when we’re talking about taxing the rich and wealth we’re not talking about doctors and lawyers even if they still make a fuck ton because they are still getting paid for their labour and they need to work in order to maintain their lifestyle even if they would be considered rich.

    What we’re talking about are people who make their living through their capital I.e. due to the exploitation of other people.

  • Chat Control 2.0 has passed the first round of approval

    Jump

  • Not to be a downer but I’ve talked with a deputy of the European Parliament that opposed chat control and they were getting so many emails that they just had to create a filter to immediately get rid of these emails as otherwise their email inbox would just get full and they literally couldn’t work (as they wouldn’t be able to receive other emails).

    And this is from someone that is on our side. I assume that people that are actually for this bill will be getting blasted even more and will care much less, so I’m not sure how much are emails effective.

  • Spain restarts push to kill daylight saving time in EU

  • Bars already have schedules like that and it’s not an issue

    You can add time to due dates to. It wouldn’t be that problematic. Or just keep the day only

  • Then use a time zone that makes sense for that?

  • Like it changes at midnight?

    I mean that’s not really the issue

    The issue is like restaurants opening for dinner at 7AM and such

    It would be a big cultural shift

  • Nobody agrees on which one is better but I’d say a majority agrees that sticking to one is better

    That’s like saying we can’t agree if we want burgers or steak so let’s all have nothing instead

  • Then they fight you: How the ‘No Kings’ protests are winning America | A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

  • Second Drone attack on the Flotilla for Palestine

    Jump

  • But who else other than Israel has the motive to attack a humanitarian vessel? Not once but twice in two days and also has done the same to every single mission towards Gaza?

    There’s only way to spin it. Did Israel even deny it?? They didn’t because they want people to know it was them. It’s a scare tactic and that doesn’t work if it’s some random guy with a drone

  • Ofc but those rules are there by design and are natural to the system

    If the many have the control then it is hard for any one individual to gain control and rig the system for himself, because the many can kick him out

    With capitalism you don’t have this natural control. You put in checks and balances that will fail eventually as they always did and then you’re screwed.

  • Evident

    Jump

  • It doesn’t because the power and needs of the many are aligned in socialism and that’s not the case in capitalism

    Within capitalism you need checks and balances so that the ruling class aka capitalist class doesn’t put their “needs” (more like desires”) above the needs of the majority

    Within socialism the ruling class is the majority by definition they can’t exploit the system in their favor because that’s literally how it’s supposed to work.

    So no, it’s very different

  • Capitalism that you mention that could work was the capitalism we had until the 70s and it’s what lead us to the late stage capitalism we have today

    Even if you reset you will end up at this stage because accumulation of wealth and thus power will always occur and then the capitalist class has both the means and incentive to change the rules of the system and then they get more wealth and power etc etc

    You can’t guard it unless you have power and under capitalism you don’t.

    You gave the loaded gun to the capitalist class and then try to force them to do the “right” thing and not use the gun for bad stuff, except they have the gun… they’re not going to listen to you

  • And why aren’t they getting political support from abroad?

  • Clashes erupt in several Serbian cities in fifth night of unrest

  • Serbia is just showing us in really time that peaceful protests are only allowed because they are an inefficient tool to enact change (at best) and a harmful tool at worst.

    These protests were massive, lasted for months on end, spanned the whole country, were asking for extremely reasonable and mild changes and still haven’t accomplished anything of note.

    I know that the violent side didn’t come from the students but it will be interesting to see if this changes things
