Because they’re Redditeurs

Hotter take: patents shouldn’t exist.

Trump is the most American president we’ve ever had.

Without tracking they don’t have metrics for their ads, which effects reports and pricing. They really want to know if someone looks at an ad.

Again, like I said, calling y’all genocidal goose-steppers wasn’t fair of me to do. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I was mad.

Your cynicism is a tragedy. You can only imagine two outcomes. Either everything gets worse under Trump or things stay as bad as they are right now under Harris. There’s no other options in your mind. You are too cynical to imagine anything else.

And so you attack anyone who refuses to vote for genocide and then get offended when they strike back. Did it occur to you that I was lashing out because other .world posters were dogpiling on me in various threads and attacking me? Or do my feelings not matter?

Harris wouldn’t support genocide if she knew it would cost her the election. There would be an arms embargo by now if it weren’t for her voters reassuring her; “No no, it’s okay! You can kill anyone you want and start WW3 and we’ll still vote for you.”

But calling you all genocidal goose-steppers isn’t fair. You’re just cynical. You fundamentally do not believe you can change anything.

They’re not equally fascist.

It’s fascism lite vs fascism deluxe!

People use Archive links to avoid giving sites traffic.

This is a problem for advertisers and media corps.

Not saying they’re the ones doing this, but they’d definitely benefit.

I just don’t understand why people like OP even left Reddit.

I don’t like change! 😣

I only use the computer for word processing, internet, and playing roguelikes.

Fine. I guess I’ll learn Linux 😒

Okay, but in the US they don’t want to risk two cops messing up their witness testimony. Better to just have one, because a cop’s word is law anyway.

Fewer witnesses.

I have never seen this.

But then we’d have to consume less, and they don’t want that.

Make that squat DEEP

You don’t work with people, not really. You manage them. Your job is to strategically use them for maximum productivity; workers might be allowed some small amount of input but only as long as it can be fit within your “roadmap strategy”. Your job it to discipline the workers and keep them on task. And, of course, make sure they never unionize.

These problems are structural. I don’t care what your motivations are, your class position is as an underling enforcer for the boss and you’re bourgeoisified by your position within the class structure. A manager, within this specific class structure, has every incentive to be an enemy of the workers. An individual manager can choose to become a class traitor, and people in management can be extremely powerful union organizers! But it rarely happens because it requires they betray their own class interests. It’s structural.

I’m not opposed to hierarchical organizational structures?

Under capitalism, the job of every single manager is to extract as much surplus value from the workers as possible. That’s their actual economic function. The problem isn’t the organizational model, the problem is the larger economic system they exist within.

If you had some kind of horizontal non-hierarchical collective under capitalism all that could do is turn everyone inside of it into petite-managers and force them to exploit themselves in order to hit productivity quotas. Or, more likely, it would fail because people don’t want to do that shit to themselves and need to be used and abused by a manager to make capitalism function.

There’s a few countries with huge hydroelectric resources, which are not applicable to most of the world. Other countries have merely seen a peak and slight decline, and based on trends it will take decades for that decline to reach the levels we need tomorrow. Demand for compute from the AI tech bubble has basically destroyed all the progress we’ve made since the pandemic.

The problem is too much consumption. Rich nations gobble up as much as they can and poorer nations are used as their mining pits and factories to feed the endless appetite for more, and as long as this continues the world is going to continue warming.

This will not save us, we’re still set to burn way too much fossil fuel even with fast EV/solar/electrification.

We. Need. To. Consume. Less.
