The problem is that the whole ruling class in Canada is as locked into the US financial system as Europe

You should read Silent Surrender and (Canada), Ltd. the Political Economy of Dependency

How to say Marx was right without saying “Marx was right”.

Hard disagree, this is a liberal doing the usual thing. As John Bellamy Foster elaborates on in his articles and books, the fight against climate change isn’t lost, it’s been abandoned by the ruling class of imperial core countries. Look up some of his stuff on Monthly Review the ecological rift is a very important concept that never appears in the kind of discourse you’re posting

Done by who? Done how? Tf does this mean

There are plenty of societies that have strong state-backed training and education programs. The AI narrative is majority a smokescreen for financialization and downsizing of firms and privatizarion of the state

Just like with the blockchain, China’s been the first to implement a version with an actual use - not financial speculation and buying drugs, and a more power and resource efficient version - of overhyped tech financial bubble buzzword technologies, because they don’t judge its utility differently than any other technology. They don’t have these religious financial cults around AI

They will likely be the only nation other than close regional SEA allies to implement AI in governance effectively instead of using it to somehow make servers using UI from 2014 worse + more insecure & strengthening the Tesla/Palantir/Anduril investor pitch " The Evil Privatized Government Has Anointed Us Chief Devourer of the State Social Services/Tech/Green Energy Budget" where everyone can stuff the 1 trillion dollars the fed prints daily for banks

First worlders who want to pull themselves back out of the hole somehow should stop focusing singlemindedly on minimum wage struggle and public debt, and start worrying about land reform, access to hours + employment, and public housing.

Downvotes don’t matter as much here anyways since you can get high quality content by sorting from new and muting some communities + instances. That’s not true of reddit’s garbage pile.

I’d like a sort by the most up + down votes total so I can see what made someone angry enough to bot or brigade at one time or another

This kind of offbeat FOSS social media stuff can’t replace the major social media monopolies anyways, it serves a different purpose. People just need a backup and evasion from the US finance-tech-military cartel. If you try and put the screws on people who came to you looking for a better option, they’ll just flee. Nothing that can be done about the propaganda and advertising though & I reckon it is a bigger issue than the petty harassment and powermodding, which is mostly just deranged roleplaying

I think that if the lemmy.world people want to wall themselves off and take over their digital fiefdom it will make people take the artificial public opinion less seriously, the way most older lemmy users outgrew reddit. It seems like something they do to reassure themselves. Then again, this network & Mastodon etc are well-known to intelligence contractors. If they had no presence posting + voting here they wouldn’t be doing their jobs.

I’m not Muslim either, but I am sincere when I return your salaam :)

Was raised secular protestant, I didn’t even get interested in the history of religion until the past couple years led me to delve into monetary history. Now I feel like I’ve been missing out on all the driving forces of ancient history and getting treated to glorified trivia

You’re already welcome to repost anything of mine and I’m interested to learn about that community as well, so thanks for mentioning it

Don’t worry about that!! I’m nice!!! Not trying to engage in Mind Warfare or whatever.

Leaving this as a mental note to explain how the tech capitalists in the US work because it’s a pretty exceptional situation, also will answer the question about Islamic warfare in the other thread. It’s just like 1:30 am here lol

Answer the question chuddy

Nah this is an extreme view. Just consider the difference between your average Latino Catholic and your average Whitoid Evangelical. It’s apples to oranges.

The dude seems to have literally dozens of reply guy accounts with thousands of comments and no link submissions. Starting to think there may be a smidgeon of mental illness at work here

Wrong wrong and wrong

Clearly we need to level about the basics. You said Iran is threatening other countries. The nations of the world not allied with the US are disappointed Iran didn’t finish the job. They responded to being attacked flagrantly in violation of international law. All of Iran’s actions were legal.

My question is should we obey religious law, international law, or should we pragmatically eliminate the sources of suffering in our world with what time we have left? Thank goodness that people like you will call yourselves Eurasian within 50 years and we will be less troubled by these questions

it wouldn’t be conflict, but economic blockade.

THEY ALREADY ARE SANCTIONED BY EVERYONE WHO WILL COMPLY

If you managed a functional economy after that,

They have

you would be culture bombed into revolution. Block that?

Just tried it. Didn’t work

Congratulations, you are also now a different flavor of DPRK.

Soon

Well, I’m not actually making a tier list of religious populations. I admit that part was disingenuous

How it feels to engage in analytical self-criticism and detach from ideals

Not based on trusting me lol. Imagine if the DPRK waited to start their nuclear program. There would be this song and dance about them being a threat to the entire world. Thankfully, they didn’t act bashful about it like Iran, and their nukes keep them safe. One less conflict in the global periphery, for now that is!
