  • Am I wrong??

  • I actually don't know. I'm not that well-versed in communism, but I'll try to make a suggestion:

    Marx never said to force communism, an envisioned futuristic system, to happen, the same way that one shouldn't force capitalism in the year 900, during the time of fuedalism if some visionary would predict such of type of governance to happen in the year 800. Even if you think capitalism is better than fuedalism, trying to implement it by introducing ballot boxes, constitutions, parliaments and such, likely would get you killed by the nobility and/or clergy, because you forgot to increase the increase the power of the merchants first, so that they could revolt, with lawyers by their side, or better said in front of them, against the old powers.

    Trotsky wanted to implement a world government or capilalists will do everything in their power to try to destroy it.Stalin wanted to develop socialism further in the Soviet Union into a better working model for other countries to emulate.

    Furious debates ensued on who was on the right track.

    Sorry about that.The internet didn't exist yet and I hadn't seen a tiger in a while.The "no mane" part started to confuse me as different species.

  • What's your most cynical opinion about the world?

    Jump

  • People who choose to suppress a growing power with the idea that they can easily win,then make it look like they're the victims when the victims decide to fight back,with the ones standing up to themselves becoming stronger and stronger over time,and the suppressing people choosing to never negotiate a losing battle/warapart from demanding that the winning party makes concessions to let them win,deserve to die through the consequences of their own actions.

    Bonus points for those people who fly banners of freedom and progressivenesswhile their organizers get paid by doing the biddingof oppressive conservative foreign agentswho want their country to regress for their own gains of power.And while displaying their wicked pop-culture chants, posters and gestures,are often demanding their government to retract a reasonable proposal such as'murder, and that includes any incel strangling his perceived girlfriend to death,should be made illegal, even if you're on a vacation'or 'stop taking money from foreign agents'that are mild copies of laws from said foreign agents' country.

    And even more bonus points for the appointed new leaderlegitimized through a so-called international award of good behavior.

    And I say this because while all the hypocrisy is absolutely infuriating,to top it off by trying to chop off the hand and headthat tries to give you mercy, then there's no redemption,only more and more defense againsta more and more deadly risky liable escalation

  • “I have nothing to hide”: Why Privacy Matters

    Jump

  • It's been my experience throughout the years.I haven't personally heard "I have nothing to hide"since Huawei phones started to become banned in my country.

    The moment they became popular they went from"I've got nothing to hide" to "I've got nothing to hide, but this is different. Huawei is subject to the Chinese State.Those other phones are made by our allies. We may have found time after time again that all phones of all our politicians have been tapped by the US and it's true that no matter how hard our best security experts searched for listening bugs in these devices, they found diddly squat, but if you own one of those Chinese phones and think you're not being listened to, than you're being naive. Naive naive, !be scared!, naive national security naive.".

  • Which distro should I use?

    Jump

  • Yes and the manual install taught me how to deal with DEs refusing to start without having to do a full reinstall.It's such a pleasure to be able to save your setup no matter what the issue, apart from the time I accidentally erased my hard drive with a sudo rm -rf * command that was supposed to wipe a USB drive.

  • When it was Obama listening in on their phones, westeners agree.When it was Biden or Trump listening in on their phones, westeners went quiet.When it's Xi selling phones unbugged, westeners grab your phone throw it on the ground, pour gasoline over it, light a fire, scold you and threaten your life.

  • EndeavourOS if you've never used Linux before.Arch if you've played around with Linux, but want to learn some more basic terminal stuff so that in case your Desktop Environment breaks down, you know what to do to get it back up again without a full reinstall.

  • If you had to choose a new lingua franca, what language would you pick?

    Jump

  • The sounds English makes is pretty good,but I don't know if it's the culture or the language itself,but it has a giant tendency to want to use aeuphanisms and dysphemisms to emphasize superiorityover other languages and culturesand also has a giant tendency to use weasel words,to weasel in authoritarianisms.

  • If you had to choose a new lingua franca, what language would you pick?

    Jump

  • I have no clue, but it'll be better than a language that thinks it's acceptable for words like "read"to not just have two different meaning, but two different pronunciations,while also having words like "sense", "scents" and "cents" be pronounced exactly the same.

    And while writing this, I just learned that pronunciation should be spelled with "u" instead of "ou".That makes no sense.

  • Lojban for nowCertainly not Esperanto

    1. Lojban like Esperanto has been created to be a neutral lingua franca.
    2. I've heard that it's a logical language that tries to do away with ambiguity and that sounds interesting to me.
    3. Esperanto feels like a language made for the EU rather than the world and so do all Esperanto look-a-likes.
    4. Lojban sounds like a cross between Romansh and a lost native American language. Not good compared to my two favorite sounding languages, Japanese and French, but at least more neutral than Esperanto. Esperanto sounds Spanish and Interlingua sounds like an Italian that thought that Esperanto should sound Italian and I don't like how either of those two languages sound.

  • What specifically ARE you confident about?

    Jump

  • Yeah, so I have a problem with #1 and #2 as to what we were taught.Because what usually happens is..

    1. Observe a phenomenon
    2. Wonder how that works
    3. Search for information on wikipedia
    4. Gain knowledge

    You don't need to raise questions then.The only time you raise questions is when there's a lack of knowledge on the thingand I think it's more often the case that your theory starts when there IS knowledge,it's just that you think it's either externally wrong (that's not how the balls fall when I drop them from the leaning tower of Pisa)or internally wrong (This author is saying balls and objects in general fall due to air pressure, but in another book the author says balloons float due to air pressure, huh?!?)

  • What specifically ARE you confident about?

    Jump

  • I got that part and most of it from another person, though I added a bit here and there.So this part has been a bit confusing for me as well, but I think that once you have done your'perceived discovery of external error' by dropping metal balls from where the author's claim doesn't match your observation,you will need to list all the things that you think are relevant to what led up to your discovery.

    Now I stole the above image from wikipedia, but it's stuff like that that I assume you should have a gallery of,so that everyone and your grandmother knows what we're talking about and don't mistake it for anything else.

    So one's list (the hypothesis) should at least consist of

    1. The leaning tower of Pisa (A nice little picture, where it's located)
    2. A big metal ball (what it's made of, where did you get it)
    3. A small metal ball
    4. Planet Earth
    5. The air (and why you think that's relevant)
    6. The dropping mechanism (I'm assuming one's hands)
    7. The exact section (book, page, paragraph) where it says that they should be falling at different speeds
    8. The above image showcasing what and a video of you dropping the balls

    And that's for the observation that lead to the perceived discovery of external error.Then you will need to add to the list of what your experiments need.You know, a stopwatch, more objects, 3D models of those objects,a better dropping mechanism and a 3D model of that so that people can recreate your experiment,an air chamber, where you can increase and decrease the pressure.Stuff like that.
