  • There's wealth disparity and then there's the wealth chasm of today, the disparity has grown so much in the last couple of decades beyond anything in human history.

    The only reason it can is because of capitalism (neoliberalism, late stage capitalism).

    The system incentivises and rewards the horrific behaviour that results in the disparity.

    Also, pray tell, what are inheritocrats who made all their non-inherited money through stock markets producing?

    As far as I can see, they're not producing anything, but are profiting off the backs of, and at the expense of, those that are producing the value.

  • Big fan of

    "The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth"

    • Garry Kasparov (2015)

    That is to say, don't let them shut you up.

    There is a longer, more historical version of this but it escapes me at the moment.

    I can only find the Hannah Arendt quote (1974)

    "This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And [to] such a people... you can do whatever you want."

    But i swear there was one that finished "When the truth is silent, liars can move onto action"

  • It really doesn't play out like that though.

    Blaming the voter base will never work, and just serves the interest of the right wing steer.

    You must hold the dems accountable, and primary them for sure.

    But both sides ARE terrible and the dems are highly complicit, it's not about people 'buying' anything, it's about not rewarding people who happily increase funding to ICE under the current scenario.

    You can't expect fundamentally disenfranchised people to play in a game that's rigged against good without inspiring them with hope.

    Look at Mamdani, there were no candidates in the 2024 election like that. Why? Simple... THERE WAS NO DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

    BLAME THE PARTY, who forced this upon us! They lost an easily winnable election, no-one else is half as culpable.

  • (Thanks for answering and bear in mind I forgot the context of me asking you to explain before replying so don't take it too personally 😅)

    Except if you don't prosecute them they get more bold and brazen. You can't really be advocating for some of the worst criminals in history to face no accountability.

    Look what's happening right now in the US, if Biden had properly held Trump accountable we wouldn't be in this situation.

    Where was the peaceful transfer of power?

    Seems to me like you just want to excuse insurrection, fraud, pardoning of hundreds of violent criminals and rape of underage girls...

    It really doesn't reduce polarisation, it emboldens the evil perpatrators and has a cooling effect on your support, as seen in the 2024 election.

  • Blaming voters instead of the party that lost the country is some self fulfilling fascism prophecy.

    You can't expect people to vote for abhorrent policy, and blame them when they don't...

    You just have to have good policy proposal, pretty simple

  • Aye yeah that's fair, in that case i'd recommend PeaZip, it's what I use on my CachyOS setup since 7zip is just cli on Unix. PeaZip has a nice file manager UI.

    In terms of yt-dlp it really depends how you installed it...

    Assuming you're in the folder where yt-dlp is:

    1. Make it executable

    chmod +x yt-dlp

    2. Run it directly from the current folder

    ./yt-dlp --version

    If that works, then the binary is fine and it’s just a PATH thing.

    I'd recommend just installing it through Homebrew personally, it will sort out the PATH for you automatically.

    install Homebrew if you don't have it (from brew.sh)

    then:

    brew install yt-dlp

    yt-dlp --version

    Otherwise if you want to make the binary work (if you already have the file or want to download it manually)

    Open the folder in terminal and then

    move it somewhere on PATH

    sudo mv yt-dlp /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

    make sure it’s executable

    sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

    Now whichever way you choose, you should be able to just do:

    yt-dlp https://example.com/video --write-auto-subs

    Along with whatever other commands you want to use!

  • Idk bout ur whole argument of russian propaganda but

    "Y'all are too stupid to understand first past the post or the spoiler effect or the way the two party system means you have to vote for the lesser of two evils or you are explicitly condoning the greater evil."

    Is both seemingly valid and entirely a crock of shit that will result in ratcheting towards fascism every single time.

  • Nah, distinguish yourself and I'll give you grace.

    I literally only said that because after establishing that my first reaction to noticing an American is 'fuck them' but realised that doesn't hold because there are plenty of good Americans.

    You guys are just way too willing to put up with evil nonsense despite being 'free' and you having legal guns?

    I'd be far more forgiving if every default American didn't have the most rancid vibes. As they speak I can ease up if what comes out isn't atrocious.

    I'm just describing that Americans are the pariah now I guess... You always treat other countries as fully responsible for their leaders despite you guys having far more claim of individual liberty and armory to brandish, but wishing we would treat you all as powerless?

  • Right but is that 'horse shoe theory' because it just sounds like there are multiple reasons to support things.

    Horse shoe theory is nonsense.

    I dislike NATO since its a US protection racket and I dislike EU because they're forcing chat control and cowtowing to the US.

    I dont want the 'west to fall', I want to be free and sovereign from the US' war machine.

    I don't believe we'll naturally rise above if things collapse, but I do believe we'll be dead before too long if the US continues forward with its acts.

    Being pincered by Russia on the east and the US on the west is a pretty terrifying concept - if only China would save us.
