  • "Red bourgeoisie are better than blue bourgeoisie" is contradictory with the goal of achieving a stateless, classless society.

  • Existence of authority is a direct contradiction of freedom. So anything except for total anarchy = not complete freedom.

    That being said, complete anarchy is akin to machine with 100% efficiency. Amazing, but very difficult (almost impossible) to make. So do I believe that we must start by blowing up all forms of authority on day one? No. Many anarchists that I've met believe this. Most I've met reject the idea of democracy (again, because it's the majority "ruling" over the minority). This is why I won't call myself an anarchist.

    I don't associate with any leftist subgroups enough that I would want to associate with them. Sure, I feel ideologically closer to some than others, but again, not enough to consider myself part of them. This is the explanation for my usage of the broad term "leftist".

    Also, i was responding to the comment above, attempting to mirror their comment to convey my message. The above commentator was very likely a ML. I've observed these folk on Lemmy to have a habit of criticising imperialism, greed, warmongering and so on when the countries they hate do it, but absolutely cheering it on when the reds do it. It's really annoying, that's all.

  • And surely no "leftist" is going to get incredibly mad when I say:

    "Authority breeds violence. Death to all authority, states being the best example of them. Death to states, of which the US is the most powerful and most destructive."

    I'm sure no "leftist" is instead going to propose creation of a "leftist state", employ exsoldiers of the previous capitalist state and then justify war crimes by those soldiers under the name of "liberation".

  • It's so funny how gullible the working class are everywhere, including here on Lemmy. "Oooh, bring the colonists and the evil imperial core to justice".

    Nations are fake divisions which are a product of the ruling class's efforts to keep the working class divided and fixated on each other instead of them.

    I've witnessed this west-hating first hand. I grew up in India. This was the Indian ruling class's favorite tactic: "why are we so poor?" "Oh the Brits looted us"

    "Why is our infrastructure crumbling, why is our education system so horrible, why do we not have access to any meaningful healthcare?" "Oh the Brits looted us. Oh also, did you know the Muslims are evil too?"

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending the actions of the western STATES today and in the past. But it is important that we as leftists realize that these states ARE NOT the working class in these countries.

    Saying "America bad" makes the Macdonalds worker on minimum wage come out to defend the American state. This is contrary to our goals of a stateless, classless society. By doing this, we become a part of the lie of nations spread by the ruling class.

    We should understand who the bad guys are. It's not the unionized electrician who voted for Trump. It is the Trump propagandist who was successful at their propaganda campaign of getting Trump elected. Yes, voting for Trump was stupid. But a stupid person is not always an evil person.

    So again, let me reiterate this, cuz I've a feeling the message won't go through correctly.

    FUCK ALL STATES. Fuck the western states who were successful at being evil. Fuck the remaining states who were not successful at being evil. Fuck colonialism and imperialism.

    BUT it is against our goals of creating a stateless and classless society if we attack the people who identify as a certain nationality. Nationalities are a lie. Recognition of nationalities entraps us in the lies of the ruling class.

    When someone in leftists circles says, "Fuck the US", it is assumed that the statement is directed at the US ruling class and the state. But for a fellow worker who is not into leftist politics, this feels like an attack on THEM, which is not true.

    Adopting messaging against the ruling class specifically is extremely important.

  • What's your favourite and least favourite fast food chain?

    Jump

  • Least favorite: Never had one in Canada, but the ones in India were at a premium price point for some weird reason. Was the food premium? No. Quite the opposite actually. Alongside this, definitely Tim Hortons. Fuck that place. So so unsanitary. Coffee is burnt, tea is bitter, their Boston creams taste like sugary snot packed in a sugar bomb dough... I have no idea why people get stuff from Tim's.

    Most favorite: Calgary coop's non packaged food or whatever it's called. Their bakery produces DELICIOUS stuff. Very slightly more expensive than Tim's, but their Boston creams are so so good. Less sweet AND THEY HAVE SOME FLAVOR. Their muffins and fritters are massive (and delicious).

    Coop gas bars are severely underrated too. They sell French vanillas (and other such sweet drinks like hazelnut lattes or whatever) there too! Cheaper than Tim's, bigger portion sizes. They have coffee and tea too, but I've never tasted it. Oh yes, they have slushies too! Again, massive portion sizes, cheaper than Tim's.

    There's also the added advantage that coop is a consumer coop, so it's closer to market socialism than the other options ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    Please stop bringing bringing your politics in places it shouldn't be in. We know your country sucks. Can we please just be autistic and enjoy our science memes?

  • The presence of the minions itself. When it is known that:

    • people roll their eyes at memes involving them, especially here.
    • they generally add nothing to the meme
    • used by boomers a lot on Facebook

    For me, here's what I was thinking when I saw this meme:

    • wholesome-ish meme
    • minions? Ew. What was the choice behind using them?
    • the community is Lemmy shitpost?
    • oh LMFAO it's a nod at Facebook memes.
    • funny.

  • The rich oppose clean energy because it is renewable. If clean energy became non renewable, or fossil fuels became renewable, they would no longer oppose a transition to clean energy

    Jump

  • I don't think this is it. It's simply a question of return on investment.

    If I had oil industry related investments, I would want:

    • supply from my investments to go up.
    • demand for my supplied goods/services to go up.

    Now if I am a small investor, it would make sense for me to slowly sell off my oil assets and invest into green energy IF: -- I believe that there are investment opportunities in green energy that will give me a better return on investment than my current oil investments.

    Whenever I sell an investment to pivot to some other investment, I undermine the value of my current investment. How's that? Because I'm increasing the supply of my investment asset. This lowers the price.

    Basically, if my oil stock was worth x, and if I put it for sale on the market, it's now worth x-y, where y is some positive number.

    Again, if I'm a small investor, y will be tiny as I'm not really increasing the supply of the oil stock by much.

    BUT. If I'm an oil oligarch... Well, y is going to be VERY HIGH. It does not make monetary sense for me to sell off my assets and move them to green energy. I don't necessarily have confidence that my losses (y) would be recouped through the ROI from green energy.

    I'm a selfish, unempathetic asshole. I want to maintain my wealth. Therefore, I take the cheaper way out -> influence the government to delay green investment, so that demand for oil doesn't fall.

  • Is your city building a ton of banks and gas stations?

    Jump

  • Market demand. They get built because the capitalists think that people want them to be built. If people don't want them to be built, they would go out of business and shut down.

    But to answer your question, my city is sprawling and growing vertically at the same time. For the new neighborhoods, yeah, gas stations, bank branches and other such businesses do get constructed in the central commercially zoned part.

  • Lmfao telling it to "not act like AI" in the beginning works for me. I like to tell it to "be as efficient as possible with the word count" to prevent most of the bs. Works decent enough for my purposes.

  • What are some good places online to earn certificates or degrees that you can who you a prolific in said subject? Hopefully something free maybe medical coding?

  • The university I graduated from: "University of the People".

    It's an online uni in Pasadena, California. They're regionally and nationally accredited. From an accreditation standpoint, they're at par with other unis, so you won't have to worry about that. Super affordable. Plus, they're not a for profit thing, so that's cool too.

    There are a couple of drawbacks though. They won't place you anywhere. I don't know how the placement for other unis works, but it is quite non existent for UoPeople. The other drawbacks are again all of those that online education has in general.

  • Eby calls reported meeting between Alberta separatists and U.S. official ‘treason’

  • Separatism isn't inherently treason. Conspiring with foreign actors to conduct acts that undermine the sovereignty of Canada while promote the interests of that foreign actor(s) is.

    Especially when the said foreign actor has expressed intentions to ANNEX US.
