It’s pretty amazing how qbittorent is such a nice app, while something like youtube is constantly shoving ads up your butt.
If we’re talking about music, go see the band and buy a shirt. That will help them like 1000000x more than paying for netflix, spotify, etc.
61·2 days agoSame way people fall into liberal mindset - endless, uncontested propaganda from schools, media, etc. You hear chunks of market ideology here and there. Takes some “econ” classes. Don’t bother researching unprofitable alternatives.
For the same reason people fall into fascism.
Agreed. But I think “liberalism” is the underlying problem. Fascism is its extreme.
It’s the same question as how do people fall into the “liberal” mindset?
After seeing people worship enslavers and their state… These people literally enslaved millions of people and genocided millions more. And their state continues to invade and murder people around the planet… So how do seemingly rational people accept and support this violent, racist, system that’s literally destroying the planet? How can people be mad at Mao but not also every president? How do they feel complacent and self-righteous about voting for people who support genocide? The rationalizations are all over Lemmy, much more so than tankie rationalizations.
The point is that libs and tankies are basically the same thing, just worshiping a different empire. People want to feel like they’re part of some global movement, regardless of whether the movement is actually evil.

1·3 days agoLet it die. The word has been exploited very publicly by some very evil people. The nazis (national socialists), ussr (soviet socialism), etc. are probably the most famous examples. But generally, when I look back on the socialism of the 1900s, it’s mostly about learning from failures. And the longer history… Should we still be clinging to concepts/vocabulary from 200+ years ago? I think the fundamentals are still relevant but the “socialist” baggage isn’t worth carrying anymore.
Instead of trying to apologize and rehabilitate “socialism”, we should learn from it and move on to concepts/vocabulary more appropriate for our times.

1·6 days agoI think we should have two options that are basically the same, then incite endless hoopla over which is better. Similar to coke vs pepsi.
Despite Employee Activism, Capital Is Still Supporting Fascism, Genocide, Planetary Destruction, etc.

Try Kate.
(The real answer is probably emacs/vim but I’m not that cool.)

The purpose of the “AI” grift is to shovel as much money as possible from marks to grifters.
Whether the “bubble” pops or not, that’s a concern for the marks.
Inkscape if it’s vector art. Gimp if it’s bitmap.
Part of it is that they’re clearing out the kids so they can advertise to adults. Gotta support the people leeching off gambling addicts. Capitalism as usual.
My dad stole cable. Just continuing the family tradition.
