Honestly, 100 mil or even 50 mil is more than enough for any human to live a carefree life, without the need to work ever again and without any material want or need.
But we would be fine without a wealth cap too, if we got rid of the concept of inheritance. Make as much money as you can or want, but actually pull yourself up by your bootstraps and when you die it all gets returned to the people (and not your nepo babies).
Why is my first thought “i’d buy this as a shirt”…
Fuck me and my apparently still consoomer fried brain
Enjoy getting herded at gunpoint into a minefield. There are no real rules in a total/world war. If you fuck up on purpose or refuse to do your duty you will likely get severely punished by your own side.
Curious that this is your perception, while i myself have noticed a sort of inverse trend in that regard.
Especially around these parts it is heavily frowned upon making any kind of horny or sexual comment as a dude about a woman. A surefire way to get schooled on what a misogynist objectifying dick you are (excluding literal porn community comment section of course).
Other horny comments are much less controversial, women on men, men on men, women on women. Things you might find in the average (gay) porn comment section get upvoted on lemmy on a regular basis, im sure it’s totally ironic.
So my personal “analysis” of recent ish lemmy online discourse would be that heterosexual men on lemmy avoid being publicly horny because of the expected blowback. That or they make an alt account.
Oh you definitely can, and i do enjoy the unhinged nature of your contributions, but it is pretty much a guarantee that some lonely and/or horny dude will feel encouraged.
Makes perfect sense if you dont really care about the iranians and just want to ensure continual conflict in the region so you can gain cheap resource access and can legitimize your authoritarian regime because your country is oh so threatened all the time.
What i define is how most actually socialist or communist countries of the past were organized though. See for example the GDR, socially just as conservative as most other countries at the time; to the point that the formerly GDR part of germany is now a breeding ground for far right political power.
My point is not that socially conservative ideas have merit, but that they are not inherently ideologically incompatible with wanting a not-capitalist economy. And that we do ourselves little good by constantly falling back into the old leftist trope of never being able to achieve political power because everyone only agrees on like, 90% of issues.
Not on lemmy, where being left means you have to absolutely and entirely go along with whatever the others feel should be a leftist belief. Purity tests all day every day, followed up by literal campaigns and concerted efforts by other “leftists” against the offending people.
See the whole online boycott war being fought against .ml because the owners ran afoul of something. Lemmy is just as stupid as other social media but has a different demographic, which makes it at least for the time being more palatable.
A “conservative” leftist would probably be someone who generally agrees on economic theory but has a less open and progressive view towards social issues such as marriage rights or immigration.
Go home sxan
Not an american but i would think that not many rich people actually get murdered, unfortunately. Private security and someone wealthy is generally more valuable alive than dead if you are looking for ransom or such.
Interesting read, apparently all of this is enabled mostly by russia losing starlink access.
Which is fucking insane on multiple levels, not only that private hands control this crucial element of communication and essentially remotely decide the battle outcome, but also that there is apparently still not a single viable alternative available controlled by any other party.
Some fucking guy owning unimaginably much quite literally meddles in the fate of whole countries. Not to mention all the people fighting who essentially die or not die on elons whim.
To this day i know exactly where my first Gameboy color was bought. I even know the street name off the cuff, not the number tho.
Not as unlikely as you think i would say
Bro is asking how to poison his work for ai himself to protect his creative work and help combating corpo ai.
What else could he possibly mean?
Not an american but personally i would most definitely prefer an absolute fuckwad with little self control in charge than an evil mastermind entity hellbent on squeezing me for every cent.
The former is too stupid not to ruin his lever of power, which would cause the system to decentralize and/or contribute to said fuckwad’s downfall. The latter employs a huge amount of people specifically trained to maintain and increase the amount of profits extracted while maintaining their stranglehold.
Cat is cute but wtf is happing here, eat(?) off a piece of paper on the floor, with the cat lying on the plate? 🤔
Did you think i was being serious there lol
Gotcha, with that context it makes sense
Yes, absolutely. Entirely off the rails, alien, utterly incomprehensible.
Oh i don’t try to defend it or keep it alive, lol. With the changes needed to make capitalism work for everyone it would no longer be capitalism.
