capitalist arguments that profit motive is necessary for innovation and technological advancement
I don’t know who is arguing this because it’s incredibly stupid. The greatest scientific minds of history, the mathematicians, the physicists, the inventors, were not capitalists, they’re people with passion for their work.
If we move to a society that guarantees basic human needs and good education, we’re only going to have more scientists and engineers that progress technology even faster.
Yeahhh, he’s like “everything was taken out of context to smear me”, he shows the context and it doesn’t make him look any better.
It’s a shame bc I really wanted to get into hyprland, but I won’t get involved with a project that is okay harassing people for being trans.
Be disappointed, because many of them are real people.
I don’t go through people’s comment histories to try to validate them.
And there’s a shocking overlap in vernacular and memes between tankies and alt-right. Obviously they’re diametrically opposed on almost all issues. BUT neither really believe in good faith discussion, it’s mostly trolling and “dunking”. Mix in sarcasm that’s not obvious to an outsider, and the jokes are hard to tell apart from misinformation or “muddying the water”.
It’s way more present since Hexbear federated in, every first impression is that it’s an alt-right troll farm. After some interaction it gets clear quickly that it isn’t.
Just expect us normies to have that first impression.
Russian likes to threaten the world with nukes - nuclear war would inevitably lead to a nuclear holocaust that would cause the near extinction of the human species.
I don’t give a flying fuck about Azerbaijan. Russia is terrorizing the entire species of humanity. Until you’re threatening to wipe out the entire planet, you are not a terrorist on the same level as Russia.
Suppose we have a human extinction, and intelligent life develops all over. All religion will be gone or very different, but science will continue to make the same discoveries all over again.
To be fair communist rhetoric online is a huge mess.
On one hand, you have the communists who are like, “human rights inclusive of all gender identity, basic needs met for all, no state and no class society!”, very nice and cool, yay!!
On the other hand, there are communists who are like, “install a dictator who kills all political dissidence, support foreign invasions, let’s go Soviet ultra-nationalism!”, very gross and yuck.
