  • If the defense for a NK-style society is that it "at least benefits the working class" I suppose even trickle-down isn't that bad.. whether class exists as a concept or not means nothing if you have to live like in NK..

    The truth is that as long as you have a structure that allows a group of people to control and steer society - be it a "Proletarian dictatorship designed to benefit the workers" or otherwise - those people are gonna shape it in a way where it benefits themselves. It's a reasonable assessment that the main issue of the Soviet Union was Stalin's insanity and forcing certain policies (collectivisation) too fast, but the truth of the matter is that a new class simply emerged: the political, the ones that might not be traditionally rich but benefit in other ways. The working class was never the main beneficiary of the Soviet Union.. at the end of a day a dictatorship is just a dictatorship and it's never for the people. I'm in no way against socialism or enacting various socialist or socialist-adjacent fiscal policies but that doesn't mean that all just magically become good when the working class dubiously "benefits".

    And how much has those same parameters improved in capitalist societies? China didn't become rich and influential until they started transitioning into s capitalist class society. No shit that working class conditions improved compared to (almost) literally being serfs

  • The thing is that not every idea they have is bad. No one wants an overflow of cheap junk from China, but the problem is obviously how they're going about it - basically halting trade in general rather than having a logical and pragmatic way of working; but then again their end goal isn't actually to improve USA or to help regular Americans in any way so it figures.

  • And at what point is it no longer a "dictatorship of the proletariat"? Do you really think, say, the Soviet leaders were looking out "for the proletariat"? Is Kim Jong-Un doing so because the country's official name contains the word "people"?

  • Half of them definitely just making PowerPoints and attending meetings. You'd probably end up with 5 devs actually doing something and a marketing/advertisement department, I guess

  • Snoop Dogg Admits He's “Scared” to Go to Movies Because of LGTBQ+ Representation

    Jump

  • Imagine being s grown ass man who's seen some shit, but the visuals of two other men doing romantic things is "scary" to you. What a little pussy Snoop is.

  • AI Experts No Longer Saving for Retirement Because They Assume AI Will Kill Us All by Then

    Jump

  • Yea, fuck all this AI development and companies pushing it into everything.. but I'm not really convinced that AI is gonna be our doom. We're doing it to ourselves already just fine without them.

  • Trump tells Fed's Lisa Cook she's fired; she says 'he has no authority to do so'

  • Unlike the president who would never do anything illegal!

  • Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air

    Jump

  • I'd imagine inducing stress and manipulation if anything. Pormanove and the fourth guy were and are both mentally challenged and thus more easily manipulated and coerced. Also no way you don't see the signs coming from your "friend" after streaming together for more than a year and a half

  • Product packaging pandering to conservative Americans

    Jump

  • What a difference in where one grows up. I have never once heard about John 3:16 and I had no idea what it is. You learn something new every day, I guess

  • This CEO laid off nearly 80% of his staff because they refused to adopt AI fast enough. 2 years later, he says he’d do it again

    Jump

  • I do find AI useful when I'm debugging a large SQL / Python script though and gotta say I make use of it in that case.. other than that it's useless and relying on it as ones main tool is idiotic

  • A Gen Xer sold his company for $1.6 billion. He kept less than $100 million and gave the rest away because he doesn't 'believe in billionaires'

    Jump

  • I don't think the premise that you can "make it" is wrong, and being somewhat wealthy is definitely motivation for many great things. If you're running a tech start-up you're probably putting in 60-80 hours a week and have to cope with a great level of stress. Of course being passionate about your product is a very important factor but without the allure of living very well afterwards I think it'd deter a lot of innovation, sports talents, musicians and whatnot.

    I don't blame this dude for still wanting to live his life while being quite ethical; hate the game, not the player (in this case at least). This is about how fiscally conservative I can be. Billionaires shouldn't exist - and especially these insanely wealthy individuals taking over the world with tech, but I don't think you can take it away completely. In an ideal world there wouldn't even be millionaires but people are gonna be people and sociopaths and narcissists are always gonna exist and trying to rig the system.

  • Just like next quarter's finance numbers for USA will coincidentally just all the great stuff Trump has achieved!

  • Bro no, alhamdullilah America is on the path to Jannah mashallah.

    I think it was just a joke 😂

  • Yea, I never liked non-alcoholic beer for this reason. Even if it tastes the same, the taste of beer is just not that great. I'd rather have some cold water or a soda if I won't be getting drunk anyway. I did recently start living non-alcoholic cider though, surprisingly

  • A record low level of Americans drink, and a majority now say alcohol is bad for your health

    Jump

  • Both things can be true. I think it's something like 25-30% of younger men with sperm cells so weak they'd at least struggle greatly to procreate. Probably more due to microplastics and fastfood though, but drinking doesn't help. Same reason there are so many allergies etc in the West

  • There's nothing wrong with pressuring your loved ones a bit - especially as a parent. I read it in a loving, paternal tone rather than a demanding, controlling one. Of course, if it was literal it'd be problematic.

    The guy is complaining about not being able to find girls - so I wouldn't read too much into it either.

    Well, I don't see the flags anyway. We don't know these two people or what their relationship is like.
