It’s also because Lemmy’s sorting algorithms are much better. On Reddit, if you’re more than 6 hours late to a post, comments won’t get any interaction.

You can tell Lemmy is written by socialists, with upvotes being much more evenly distributed and less focused on the top 5% going viral.

Of course this is not a MAGA realizing they are a shitty person. It’s just self interest to not get assassinated by some lunatic:

and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger […] It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Half Life 3 would be such a big sales boost for the Gabecube

Matushka, can we have robots at home?

No, we already have robots at home.

Robots at home:

Leeching off a dying empire with miltech… Now who’s the real parasite Alex?

Didn’t Steam already have some home console like hardware a few years ago? That flopped so badly I don’t even remember the name

Maybe we can hack it and use it to burn down Mar-a-Lago

You cite neoliberal garbage that has a childish strawman argument against a socialist on its main page. There are plenty of good arguments to make in favor of rent control that are biased the other way, the one that is not subservient to capitalist market forces and interests.

Jacobin has many articles in favor of rent control, written by economists that have looked at the data.

While the Econ 101 view treats its own goals as a trump card, democratic societies — accountable to the public, not only economists — are permitted to weigh these competing policy goals against each other. […] These include, most obviously, limiting rent increases but also preventing displacement and evictions, slowing the pace of gentrification, and even guaranteeing a right to housing for all.

And here is another one that looks at multiple studies and finds that the negative effect on supply are mixed and marginal at best.

The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict…[an individual] who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it – Martin Luther King J

I’m sure that neutrality and both side arguments are perfectly acceptable for articles on the Holocaust, Armenian genocide, Native American genocide, flat earth and climate denialism, right? The article already cites 500 sources, mostly in favor of the genocide label, but we should give more credit to the Israeli government and the Western colonial powers that created it?? Fuck neutrality, and fuck anyone who supports it.

It’s funny how they’re trying to paint him as a communist revolutionary or something, and in the process, just making him look even cooler.

Wow, this is pretty dystopian, but I guess it’s just the natural extension of supply and demand applied to the individual. Free market at its finest… The next step is to use your demographic data in calculating the price, like insurance companies already do.

A win for the people! Cuomo’s campaign expenses were $56 million, 2.5 times higher than Mamdani’s. Cuomo was mostly funded by billionaires, while Mamdani had mostly small sum contributions.

Why are capitalists so bad at investments?? Weren’t they supposed to be the smart entrepreneurs?

In short, “democracy” organized fascism when it felt it could no longer resist the pressure of the working class in conditions even of only formal freedom. Fascism, by shattering the working class, has restored to “democracy” the possibility of existing. In the intentions of the bourgeoisie, the division of labour should operate perfectly: the alternation of fascism and democracy should serve to exclude for ever any possibility of working-class resurgence.

Democracy and fascism - Antonio Gramsci, 1924

Can confirm, corretto is the way to go

The “boring, unfun, hard things that actually make a difference” have already been tried in the last 50 years. It has not made a difference. The only thing that can make a difference, as history has shown us time and time and time again, is a revolution

Slightly off-topic: Just found out that the word boycott comes from a British guy called Charles Boycott, who managed landlords properties in occupied Ireland. He got ostracized by the local community and people refused to serve him or work for him.

He went on to call Trump a “vehicle of divine providence.”

How to make fascism even worse: mix it with a religious cult

2016 - millennials should stop buying avocado toast

2025 - gen Z should stop buying Starbucks

2034 - gen alpha should stop buying socks

The guy went on 4 combat tours, including one as a PMC for Blackwater, and wants to pay soldiers better for their service to Western imperialism. The bar for progressives is so laughably low in the US, it’s tragic. Need I remind you that Hitler and Mussolini also appropriated some vague socialist talking points before taking power?
