It is always capitalism's fault
  • not at all, the foundation of feudalism was serfs either paying rent for the land or paying a tax out of their production. the foundation of capitalism is wage labor. the intensives and motivations for everyone involved are fundamentally different in the 2 systems. The assertion just also doesnt make sense from a historical perspective capitalism came before any of the technology associated with it.

  • Might as well be us
  • u think voting for california's ex head pig is gonna keep black people safe from pigs??? how does that work? how does continuing the "i think we can all agree what we need is to found the police" regime make black people safe from pigs?

    Also how would republicans be worse than Palestinians than the continuation of a regime currently led by a self proclaimed non jewish zionists.

    also also democrats could have and did nothing to protect womens bodily autonomy and they have done next to nothing for lgbtq people or any other oppressed peoples for that matter.

    but non of that matters there is regime in power which is genocidal which has done everything in its power to support and aid a genocide, u can either support it or not, that is all.

  • Drink it!
  • "we have to vote for a genocidal regime because the other guy is even worse"

    U can vote for genocide or u can vote 3rd party, that is that. Maybe u can excuse genocide, amerikkkans are very comfy with it and have always love doing it but i can not.

  • What shall be done about the unhoused?
  • supposedly thats what politicians and lawyers and consultants are for, asking random people for the details of massive social programs, as a general argument against said programs seems kinda fucking stupid. Not saying most people are dumb to be clear we arent, its just that by the very nature of expertise most people dont have it on any particular area.

  • Blizzard's earnings are gonna be insane
  • because they can get away with it corporations are always pushing the boundaries of how shitty they can be, and we have arrived at maximum shit for now, until they figure out some new horrible thing to do. There is no going back people have accepted the shit and corporations wont give it up, the only hope is regulation. But there is, not exactly a silver lining since its not a side effect of the shit but there is is lack of shit in some places, AA games and indie games are just fine and they are putting out some of the best games ever made with no shit at all, its just "AAA" mainly that is shitty.

  • Sometimes just hanging in there is as hard as you can try.
  • sometimes im frustrated at peoples understanding of effort. idk like if people see someone struggling with something because they are stupid but they have motivation they see that as really trying and they think that worthy of praise but if they see someone getting similar results in the end but struggling with motivation rather than something else they think that person is just lazy and isnt trying.

    just something i have noticed and which annoys me.

  • That's a true Democrat right there
  • its not even true if she said she was against genocide and would put a stop to it as soon as she had power and openly criticized Biden for his support of genocide she would get waaaaay more votes. But also genocide is just straight up too high a price regardless of what is in the other side of the scale.

  • Is it the time for me to switch to Android? iOS is riddled with spyware.
  • the grass is roughly as green on the other side, android is no better for privacy unless u are willing to put in an unreasonable amount of work into it which isnt worth it for most peoples threat profile, i recommend switching passwords on everything and maybe factory resetting ur phone. Also u should switch but only because apple makes garbage products.

  • Bros who still buy Tesla's thinking they're morally superior need a reminder
  • so says br***sh petroleum anyways, straight up complete ahistorical bullshit, actually learn some history just once just fucking once, acid rain didnt get fucking fixed because "CoNsUmErS dEcIdEd To Be ReSpOnSiBlE aNd StOoPeD bUyInG tHiNgS wHiCh ReSuLtEd In SuLfUr PoLlUtIoN" it got fixed because governments around the world pushed by organized demands from working people lead by scientists made it illegal to not use filters that would capture the sulfur, the ozone hole, remember that? u know how it got fixed it fucking wasnt because "CoNsUmErS dEcIdEd To Be ReSpOnSiBlE aNd StOoPeD bUyInG tHiNgS wItH oZoNe EaTiNg ReFrIgErAnTs In ThEm" it was solved because governments were forced by the people to issue policy that banned the use of such refrigerant. And the story is the same with water, and air pollution, and with basically everything else.

    But now when it comes to the most important fight for our survival and the preservation of our environment were are supposed each individually do our bit and buy the right thing, FUCK OFF with ur fossil fuel propaganda, we will NEVER win this fight if we are reduce to mere "CoNsUmErS".

  • The sino-soviet split of the modern age.
  • thats not really what happens tho before disney was the big evil king of intellectual property and they were running around adapting other works their stuff was stand alone despite being based on existing stories or being adaptations of existing stories. When superman became more or less public domain we didnt see this happen despite his popularity people just did their own unique adaptation/retelling of the story rather than a mess of sequels. What i think would actually happen is that people would retell masseeffects story with their own takes on it and make new stories in that universe or with the original characters (tho im sure it would happen idk why they are all so fucking bland).

    And even if there were unofficial sequels the original studio can always slap a "from the original creators of" label to theirs so people obsessed with the official telling of fictional stories know what to obsess over.

  • Parking minimums are systematic oppression by car lobbyists against all others forms of transport. Yeah I said it.
  • complete bullshit, but even IF drivers were so fucking brain dead, irresponsible, and incapable of being civil, the solution is not to cede to their entirely unreasonable demand that they be allowed to go to some of the most densest places on earth with a fucking couch 2 arm chairs, big chest for all their loot and a whole ass climate control system, if they cant behave they simply shouldn't have licenses.

  • Lost and found
  • except that Egyptians were black some 4000 years ago, 2000 years for upper Egypt, it is quite literally named the "land of the blacks" after all that is what Egypt means, latter ancient civilizations in lower Egypt were not black and eventually upper Egypt too because of migration from Asia and Europe which in turn created migrations of the then Egyptians into at first upper Egypt and then Ethiopia and Sudan. Almost the entirety of what people think of when they think of "ancient Egypt" was made by black people not all but most.

  • Lost and found
  • a clear lack of historical knowledge. plenty of the statue do have black features, they stop having black features first in lower Egypt and then much latter in upper Egypt, because there was a migration from asia/arabia and europe into Africa the vast majority of what we think of as ancient Egypt was created by black skinned people from Africa whos culture was preserved when they migrated south into Ethiopia and Sudan and later south Sudan the group of people we understand as Arabs today didnt even exists at the time. And the fact that Africa is diverse has nothing to do with this.
