There is no pro capitalist left

There are plenty of Corporations that lean hard left.

What do you mean by this? I've never seen a corporation run democratically by the workers from the bottom up; it's always the opposite. Or is your idea of a "left" corporation one that puts a rainbow on their logo in June and engages in identity politics?

polictians are our common enemy

Agreed. We need to abolish the state.

The left are the fascists with their politically correct and willful segregation practices.

You seem to be describing liberals here(?) Liberals are not left, they're on the right. Also, you sound like a Republican.

Should we join the pledge to boycott lemmy.world?

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm glad that the health of the queer community is the first priority around here. :3

I'm also glad to hear that you're friendly with the FAF admins. I'd personally love to see blahaj.zone join the FAF, but I wouldn't want that to happen at the cost of alienating queer users who aren't anarchists.

Here's hoping that this whole thing blows over, and that lemmy.world becomes less tolerant of Zionism.

YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

I think they were specifically referring to Marxism-Leninism. It is "human nature" to act in your own self interest, so any system with hierarchies of decision-making power will eventually become corrupt. We just have to take a non-hierarchical path towards communism.

I agree that things would be better without shareholders, but wouldn't government corruption still be a problem? For example, shareholders aren't profiting from mass deportation or tariffs. These sort of abuses would still happen without shareholders because they aren't motivated by profit, they're motivated by racism and nationalism. The way I see it, we need to get rid of all coercive hierarchies, government included.

HAM Radio Operators in Belarus Arrested, Face the Death Penalty

I got into MeshCore after Benn Jordan mentioned it in a recent video. Turns out there's already a network spanning hundreds of kilometers in my area. I'm making a couple companion nodes so I can communicate with my partner, who lives an hour away, in the event of an emergency where there's no power or internet. Also making some solar repeaters to improve coverage in my area.

Collision Course

Reply in thread

Under capitalism, capital will always accumulate into the hands of the shareholders. Those with the capital will always find a way to influence politicians into deregulating, no matter how many anti-corruption measures you put in place. We've seen this happen over and over for as long as capitalism has existed.

We need a fundamental change in the system that prevents capital from accumulating. That change would be socialism, where the workers collectively own the means of production, rather than it being owned privately by the shareholders.

What’s the point of motion blur in modern games? It’s the one setting I seem to have to turn off manually in far too many games. What other settings to you change in most games?

In first-person games, FOV 100°. Much less than this and it feels impossible to see what's going on, like I'm looking through binoculars.

For VR games, I always have to turn off the "comfort settings" (vignette, snap turn, etc). They're super jarring, and make me feel sick almost immediately.
