Maybe it’s already banned in these countries and there could be an assumption that it is already banned in most countries too, which make it seem like a less important issue.

Why is it not enough to just switch Lemmy server or block ml instances?

Isn’t lemmy already?

Just use KSuite instead

Just remember that Sony (PlayStation) or Nintendo is not American and neither is Ubisoft.

I love MD editors too, but I find it very hard to collaborate with others on writing because I don’t see any coworking tools for it, and it’s also difficult to convince coworkers to switch from word.

Yeah why do people have such strong views against it?

Also Linux is a great anti tech giant alternative.

Right but you don’t chug a pint of cocaine

I’m getting a bit tired of seeing the communism/capitalism dichotomy. Guys let’s be pluralistic or at least see these two as a scale. There are a lot of solutions in between. Government failures exist just as much as market failures. Let’s focus on the actual root causes of our problems: externalities, rent seeking, private land ownership, too long patents, public good provision, overly complex legal system, information asymmetries in labor markets. We need unions, free health care, cheaper education, carbon taxes, land value taxes, simplified legal system that can’t be taken advantage of. Stop this capitalism vs communism bullshit. That’s not the cause of all this. Your real enemy is “rentier capitalism”.

How does this help “creative dressers”? And what trans overreach are you referring to?

For profit housing is not why the housing market is unaffordable. The housing market is unaffordable because of mortgage subsidies, overly restrictive zoning laws, and the fact that we tax buildings instead of land.

I love shows like this that go into the detail of the emotions different people in the process are going through. It shows a different kind of realism. I recommend the show “the night of” for the same reason.

Boycut companies with too much market power. They just happen to be quite concentrated in the US.

I’m not saying we don’t have things to work on, but it’s not black or white. Social injustice gets reduced over time in a democracy. Name a country that is not capitalist that has never done bad things.

Nope, but I’m from scandinavia, no oil money.

Edit: also, I dont like categorical descriptions, because reality is more complicated. But what is happening in the US is more specifically referred to as “rentier capitalism”. In Scandinavia, we have something like “welfare capitalism”.

Hey I wasn’t denying your claim, I was just curious what you meant by it. At the end of the day, they will do what is most likely to get them elected. If they had given Bernie a platform, the votes would have been more split and given them less chance to win. I’d say this is a hate the game not the player situation. Advocate for representative democracy. It would make way more vote for Bernie instead of democrats and way more vote for a moderate right party instead of Trump.

You can advocate for wealth taxes, unions, and other welfare measures within a capitalist system. I’m from one of the most egalitarian countries in the world and we are capitalist too.

Why not vote for Bernie then? Better than nothing. At least it may give a lot of people or the democrats faith that he could potentially win in the future.

I’m not saying that you need to give them your time, I’m just saying that voting for them doesn’t mean that you stand for what they believe. You can vote them and at the same time advocate for a different voting system.

Capitalism goes through different waves and has grown to accept government involvement insofar as to reduce market failures of which monopolies and externalities are some important ones. Unions are justified in capitalism by solving the market failure of asymmetric information.

Why do you think voting for a party aligns yourself with that party?

If two people want to attempt to unalive your mother with a 50% probability that they will succeed, and you have the chance to stop only one of them, reducing the chance to 25%. Does it mean that you align with whoever you do not choose?
