  • Why bother with artistic glory when you can achieve actual power by dominating the only thing that actually matters to most people? Economic systems.

    It always baffles me when people treat leaders as stupid because they dont share the same values.

    Xi dont give a fuck about artistic dominance, he's got industrial and economic dominance. Anything else is just for show at their level.

  • UBI is, at best, a bandaid to prop up a failing system. It allows people to survive by feeding the machine that makes their lives difficult in the first place. As long as that system exists, no "fix" will ever be a permanent solution.

  • You mean like killing people who you feel are the problem? That's pretty authoritarian. Or judging people by demographics they fall into? That's pretty authoritarian. Taking the position that there is only one path to success, often violence? That's pretty damn authoritarian.

    All popular tacks people on Lemmy (or other parts of the fediverse) push for, often in direct opposition to .ml people.

    Just because one has ideological differences with a group of people doesn't mean one is nothing like them. Being righteous does not make one right, just closed off.

  • Ah ha ha ha ha! On the contrary, WE WILL PLOT IT ALL THE TIME. (Just not in the way .ml does it)

    You mean for the reasons .ml does it?

  • At no point did I mention volume, I implied education. I actually find just yelling louder to be worse than censorship, as all it does is increase the level of tension and push people towards extremes. Which helps no one.

    I also didn't mean to imply that we shouldn't use band-aids at all, just that it's a simple treatment, not a cure. Blocking certain speech and rhetoric can help to a degree... but not if it's the only thing you do.

    The problem with current strategies is that no one wants to go beyond that first step. Whether it's censorship, or shouting.

  • Honestly, with the current state of affairs, discrete hardware might not exist at all. Whether it's console or PC.

    We can make all the assumptions we like about the current trend, but just because we don't like something doesn't mean that an alternative we'd prefer would replace it once it fails.

    I don't disagree that Windows as we know it will cease to exist in the near future... but that doesn't mean things that are much worse aren't going to replace it instead of a linux utopia.

  • Censorship is, at best, a band-aid. And they can always find ways around it. The best solution isn't to block them from view temporarily, but to teach people to evaluate what they say with empathy and critical thinking.

    That is, of course, difficult to accomplish. But then again, there's no easy solutions, only easy excuses.

  • Its the definition according to the people who dont actually want socialism...

    Everyone disagrees with what socialism means when you listen to the people who say "Socialism is the Soviets! Socialism is death panels! Socialism is when government bad!"

    But if youre listening to those people you dont actually care what Socialism is, you just want an excuse to keep a broken system so you dont have to work at changing it.

    Socialism is unions... but from the top down instead of just at the bottom trying to mitigate the problems brought about by capitalism. Socialism is people working together for the greater good instead of the greater profit. Socialism is people matter instead of money.

    I suppose if that's the opposite of what you want, youre right to oppose it.
