  • I was challenging that open source is always ethical tech. No one should have open source access to destructive tech, for example.

  • Rubio says El Salvador will house deportees from U.S., including Americans

    Jump

  • IMO, this is such a bad idea because many of the people they can imprison here will have networks in the US, and knowledge of places, people and systems. This is a good way to help Bukele build an insurgent army. Some criminals will already have weapons training. The dude was already buying bitcoin to undermine the supremacy of the U.S. dollar, why the hell does anyone think he’s a friend or has good intentions?

  • The only time America loses its mind is when there’s a national security threat. I don’t know what’s going on here, but all of these allowances seem totally out of the norm, so I am going to guess it’s something like that.

  • It is, but that’s not the premise I was challenging. I was challenging the premise that this company did nothing new, or that open source is always ethical tech.

  • Not only in the US, it is a universal fiction

    Jump

  • Because I think the people who criticize the nordic model are simply biased towards achieving an outcome where the workers seize the means of production. That’s why, to them, anything else is wrong, or simply an untenable solution. I am saying that their point of view is not only incorrect, but also lacks insight outside of their own way of thinking.

  • Kropotkin is wrong, the data existed but it was made usable in a new way by methods which would not have existed without this company.

    Secondly, open source is not the only ethical form of technology, that’s an inherently biased and simplistic way to think. In fact, having access to some types of tech or information can make the world less safe or more unethical.

    Edit corrected sentence, and lol @ downvoters constantly butthurt that their Marxist pov is challenged

  • The Nordic model, but authoritarian people only care about winning, not solutions.

  • Disagree, but I propose this: the universe is infinite, maybe then we should just have a planet where the socioeconomic system is capitalist, and another one where the socioeconomic system is communist/marxist. I don’t care about winning or being right. I want to live freely, and I want that for others as well.

    Better nations on Earth already use what’s known as the Nordic model to help offset the adverse effects of capitalism. Cue (and queue) people who’ll say that “that only works because the ‘imperialists’ exploit the global south”. So again, let’s just make it easier for people who don’t want to live in a world like that.

  • Frontiers | Is the myth of left-wing authoritarianism itself a myth?

    Jump

  • Stalin is one good example of LWA leaders, others are Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev etc. If given the chance and power, some fourth wave feminists would definitely become such leaders themselves. The core issue is tribalism and the belief that just because someone subscribes to your ideology they are “good”, and everyone else is “bad”.

    That said, I think the thing authoritarianism denies people is self-actualization. As long as someone is not denying the self actualization of another, they’re not authoritarian. This isn’t about centrism or liberalism, this is about letting societies decide things for themselves while minimizing hurt to others because of sociopathy or callousness. From my pov, authoritarianism doesn’t respect human rights or freedoms in favor of tribalism.

  • Man who participated in Qur’an-burnings convicted of incitement in Sweden

    Jump

  • The best response to a quran burning free speech troll is to copy their free speech, burn a bible etc. who cares? It’s all nonsense anyways, and people need to get over it. There’s no need for violence or bloodshed

  • Don’t Believe Him

    Jump

  • That’s a bold prediction, but I really don’t think this is a body count type of situation. I think they’re trying to deter new illegal immigrants from coming in by scaring them about jailing them. At the very least, I hope all countries involved do the responsible adult thing, and help out the poor people who effectively dont have a home.

    If it turns into a body count type of situation, that’s inviting civil war, and I don’t think anyone wants that. Whatever it is, at the end of it Republicans and Democrats are pro-America and pro-Americans.

  • Don’t Believe Him

    Jump

  • I shared the article because I saw some nuggets of constitutional checks working, like the judge saying he couldn’t end birth right citizenship. I hate the idea of people getting worked up the same way J6ers did and think the world is ending.

    The lack of information and flurry of information together could create a bad situation like J6, I sincerely hope it doesn’t come to that or worse.

  • To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Floats Plan to Slash Benefits for the Poor and Working Class

    Jump

  • This is dumb, you can do America First policies and have FDR-type socialism, or Nordic model policies, together. American permanent residents and citizens should get benefits they pay for via their taxes. Simple.

  • Good point, I should clarify that’s not what I was saying. I was saying that it reminds me of the same online reactions prior to it happening.

  • DEI is for all identities, not just POC. Creating more process is part of the the CIA field manual for fighting fascists, hence the question, are more bureaucratic jobs being created in some misguided attempt to “fight US imperialism”?

  • Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

    Jump

  • No, I didn’t say minorities, you’re assuming that. I was pointing out the part in the text which says, “fight fascists by creating bureaucracy”. There are lots of articles already which point out that DEI is for all identities, not just POC.
