“Life under capitalism has become unlivable and we won’t acknowledge the issue, and instead will blame COVID and market crash.”

I mean…I don’t use it. But I’m not the one bitching about $20.

Not to mention, there are still a bunch of free options in other apps. Voyager, Memmy, modem, liftoff!, etc. Use one of those if you’re too cheap to pay for someone else’s work, yknow?

Agreed. The new one is boooring. It literally looks like something your OS designated as an icon for an app that doesn’t have an icon. It’s like a placeholder.

There were no actual efforts to establish communism

Period. Relying on the “temporary” government to relinquish their power is…foolish. If you’re building a system for the greater good, hierarchy will always undermine that goal. Unequal amounts of power does not a just system make.

It’s just as dumb as believing in “partial birth” abortions which…I mean…come on. If only these people had the capacity to think about it for two seconds.

So many people, in this, the age of social media, when they subscribe to an -ism, feel the need to stake that ground and defend it from anyone who attacks it. They mistake that feeling for the need to defend anyone else that ever claimed the same -ism.

It’s the same impulse that drives the American practice of “the republicans are defending this, so I, a democrat have to attack it.” (See: CNN under trump for a great example). This obviously works both ways, the more ridiculous ones usually go the other way from dem to repub. But followers of both parties do it. Same goes for everyone on the internet, almost, communists are definitely also very high on that list, suddenly denying all sorts of massacres. It’s nuts

What are you possibly basing this claim on?

I think the dumbing effect it’s having on us as a society might even stop us from ever having realizations like his ever again though

C, def.

There really is a lot of furry stuff, isn’t there…

Agreed. Solarpunk is anarchist, and communists/anarchists have a…messy history.

For these douchebags to follow a dude who is so twirpy and whiny while they all talk some shit about being “real men” is just absolutely hilarious to me. His kid is the fuckin weird, creepy kid we all went to school with, who put on a suit and starting talking about fucking 13 year olds or whatever.

I don’t dream of labor

Before I looked closer I saw Mel Gibson looking at a bejeweled head of Tom cruise

Yeah, if I remember correctly, this was written around the time franken was expelled from congress. In hindsight it was definitely a bit silly, because he didn’t actually do anything, but given the context it just looked bad at the time

How and why is there a significant amount of North Korean propaganda on lemmy

Goddamn, the richness of the shitstorm is like fudge melting in my mouth

Honestly, any user or mod that sticks around Reddit after this entire thing…I just don’t get. How can you be so disregarded, have your opinion so thoroughly dismissed, and then just keep creating content and driving traffic to the company? Fuck capitalism, but fuck reddit in this particular instance.
