  • Why do some people try to humanize the wealthy and people in positions of power?

    Jump

  • You mean the effect of the Milgram experiment where people tend to follow authority as long as they think the authority is legit? And what the leading authority of the Stanford experiment has been accused of doing?

    Jump

  • No they wouldn't.

    Even the capitalists are behaving differently and more humane compared the fuedalists of the middle ages.

    That's actually the main reason why communism and socialism even exists, as a prediction to say what will come after capitalism to the naysayers saying that there's no such thing as social progress.

  • 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 capitalists 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.

  • Do you think there will be a point where the world stops letting violent aggressors get what they want or is that ingrained into society?

  • “Lions are the boys and tigers are the girls.”

    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.

    Jump

  • 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.

    Dit zelfver-nederland-cultuurtje moet blijkbaarnog altijd blijven opkijken naar de taal waar het hoofdlandop dit moment verder afglijdt naar het fascisme.
