Capitalism breeds innovation

I think it’s much easier to discover new content on Lemmy.

Pretty sure that anti-anti-fascism is just straight-up a Nazi trope.

How is it remotely sane to give support to any candidate who backs an ongoing genocide? It’s only sane to do so if you’re apathetic to the said victims of genocide and know that their ghosts won’t affect you after they’ve been murdered by the politicians you’ve elected.

If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don’t press either button. This is why this meme wouldn’t work in its usual context if the buttons said that.

Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.

If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don’t vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn’t force its electorate to back a Genocide.

I hope I’m not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it’s off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn’t affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.

I think it is both. People are naturally the most revolutionary in times of crisis and struggle. It is the conditions which are created by the capitalist system that make the people feel that the system they live under is untenable, especially with rapid changes in conditions as experienced during financial crises. Many within the bourgeoise study the instability of capitalism in order to protect their capital or to profit from it.

You can buy paprika at Tescos but British food is still shit.

I’m glad that the prisoners are being offered heightened bodily autonomy through the amazing opportunity of having their organs and blood extracted from their bodies at threat of longer incarceration, for the benefit of the free people.

Can women access safe abortions? Or is that only if their doctors feel like ending up incarcerated too?

Maybe the end solution is a distributed system

I think this already exists and is called PeerTube. In my experience it doesn’t work very well.

This post seems ridiculous to me. If you would like to know why your employees are unhappy then why would you ask random strangers on the internet why they are leaving your company? If your (or anyone’s) workplace culture discourages employees to air grievances then you aren’t entitled to know why they would like to switch companies. Most likely, I think that young people don’t wish to be percieved or talked about as whiny (or any other words you can use), in the event that they raise issues which management or colleagues view as unimportant or inconsequential for the company. I’m also curious as to how you know that your Millennial team members are happy, as opposed to working just because they need the money and don’t see better opportunities elsewhere.

I remember when apple put out a software update to intentionally throttle the phone’s processor, to save charge on it’s irreplacable battery. I hope this prevents companies doing this sort of shit as well.

Thanks for posting the link. I know that footage from other conflicts from different times are often circulated inappropriately and are used for misinformation. You’re correct in saying that I don’t know for certain whether or not any particular source is genuine.

I am from Lemmygrad, and had not seen this exact response from China, however I don’t necessarily need to agree with everything the Chinese government says. In 1979 they didn’t like calling their own invasion of Vietnam an invasion, instead opting in favour of the term “the self-defensive counterattack against Vietnam”.

I found a link to a similar article except it’s from an Indian media outlet and you don’t need to register an account to read the whole thing. Leaving this in case anyone is interested.
