All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point.
  • Capitalism is highly unstable, and the US empire is in decline. I strongly believe that without the support of a global hegemon, capital will win less and less.

    Just look at how many times the US and its minions have intervened to topple or compromise socialist movements around the world. Without that intervention, many may have been successful. They can only keep this up for so long, and I suspect they're already starting to strain.

  • It's a long ass road but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Are you gonna accept fascism, or take the step?

    Labor organizing is a good thing to work on - it can bring about modest improvements for the working class, and you can't be too organized. Educate anyone who's willing to listen, educate yourself, actually read stuff. Maybe there's a local organization you can join. Maybe there are some smaller wins possible in local politics, get familiar with who's on your city council, go to some meetings or something. There are many options. Sitting on your couch and declaring hopelessness isn't the best one.

  • Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn't limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can't just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.

  • Touchscreens Are Out, and Tactile Controls Are Back
  • I didn't read too far, but,

    To restrict car manufacturers and other companies from selling consumer car-related data, increase transparency regarding data practices, and for other purposes.

    already skips over collecting the data, so yeah. I would guess this bill just exists for the optics, and isn't actually intended to challenge the industry.

  • Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?
  • Oh yeah, kind of like how fans re-edited One Piece to remove filler and improve the pacing. I wonder if something similar could be done to merge the two FMAs? Unfortunately I think most of the fanbase just thinks Brotherhood is it, and the original doesn't matter, so I don't know think there's much demand for this.

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • I'm imagining this might come from way back when it was common for buildings to just be walls and a roof, and the ground floor was literally just the ground. Then the second level, if there was one, would be the first time they actually built a floor.

  • awHell Naw
  • I can't trust a car no matter how Japanese it is, but... I watched a lil docuseries on dangerous roads, and it seemed like at least 80% of the vehicles (outside of heavy trucks) were Toyota. I dunno if it's because they're the most reliable, or because Toyota just has the market in many of these developing countries, but it was interesting.
