I mean it’s the classic revolutionary’s dilemma – does bringing the system down, which causes incredible amounts of death and suffering for the poor, worth it in the long run? IMHO it never is, because the system always finds the most painful and evil ways to go down, with no guarantee the next system is any better.

Ideally the system itself improves over time like we saw happen in the 20th century in a lot of other countries, and social democracy takes over peacefully. But sometimes the capitalists won’t let that happen and insist on a tragic and violent decline instead.

I guess my point is they used to have a lot more power in China than they do now. It didn’t have to be this way, the oil billionaires and automobile CEO could have found a way to monopolize renewables and EV technology at home too. They just operated off of fear and laziness instead of bravery and industriousness.

But that’s what im saying – high tarrifs doesn’t skow down technological innovation in China, of course they’re way ahead of us now on EV technology. Yes, they did it to keep power over their United Statesian subjects, by keeping us in the dark they have more control over us. China didn’t slow down at all because of that.

A very large number of us are creeps.

You dont think that or you dont feel that?

the extremely popular male bashing perspective the majority of fediverse users blindly accept as dogma, but it’s also undeniably true.

It’s just true, we believe this stuff because it’s true.

You said “small numbers” first as the entire basis of your argument and now you pull the “feelings” card on me??!

But that’s just handing China the advantage without a fight, it doesn’t slow them down at all. That’s why it makes no sense.

Large numbers of men are creeps, and I say that as a man. That’s the issue, that’s why they’re doing this.

If it wasn’t controversial MRA wouldn’t exist lol

That makes no sense lmao

They vote on it when they do the budget, MTA board decides.

Look up the laws in nyc, stopping a felony is legal self defense, including homicide.

Even if they are committing crimes you can’t unilaterally exact justice against them due to vigilante laws.

You can actually, self-defense to stop someone from committing a felony is legal in the US.

LOL and you know this how?

Because claude deleted his codebase dude, it’s like someone shooting themselves in the foot.

Just make it send 1/1/1900 automatically what are they gonna do about it?

And neither can anthropic claude. Claude isn’t randomly deleting people’s websites, the kid gave anthropic bad instructions, it didn’t spontaneously decide anything. This is like an idiot pointing a gun at something he didn’t want destroyed and sneezing causing a trigger squeeze and then trying to blame the gun manufacturer.

And of course yes, I would love to see more activity on lemmy!

Well, I suppose it makes perfect sense that a French person would consider “more French than French” to be a positive reputation.

Eh, mastodon is more like a twitter/instagram type thing, and thlse are both way bigger than reddit. So it’s natural that mastodon will have a lot more activity than lemmy.

But reddit is completely owned by the corporate elite, turns out u/maxwellhill was ghislaine maxwell, like it’s pretty bad how much reddit is in bed with evil powerful people.

So for that reason I’ve stopped using it.
