Russia bans gender reassignment surgery
They also banned existing trans people from adopting. Tragically reactionary

If they’re calling it a physical copy it should be a physical copy of the game data. Having a case to hold a code is a ridiculous slap in the face. And a waste of plastic

It’s not politics if it’s just common sense. Capitalism is the end of history. It doesn’t get any better than this. Stop questioning so much

Were Oppenheimer and Einstein socialists?
Einstein was. He wrote an article literally called Why Socialism? Oppenheimer I’m less sure of, but after watching the recent biopic and reading a bit more I’d be willing to bet he was sympathetic at a minimum, possibly more so but just less public out of fear of losing his job.
Wild how well educated people end up socialist 🤔

Will someone please think of the billionaires
Lol. I don’t want to be a billionaire, I’m not a sociopath. And yeah I’ve been condemning oil and gas exploration long before these idiots hopped in a shitty tin can

Capitalism Planned Obsolescence
I talked to a liberal friend of mine who defended planned obsolescence saying “if things last forever, people won’t have to buy new things, and innovation won’t happen without new consumers”
Like why should I be replacing everything I own every few years? That’s insane

Kaepernick on joining Marxists to edit new book: Black liberation ‘isn’t possible under capitalism’
He’s right. Glad to see more public figures acknowledging the reality capitalism is stopping a lot of positive societal changes

Chinese distro (OpenKylin) made to provide independence from western technologies releses its first stable version

Yes! Having the worlds largest country run on Linux would do wonders for its adoption. If all the western business partners just stopped accepting windows files and started distributing Linux packages, it would accelerate adoption elsewhere.

Business Ethics, with Karl Marx
Based. Wage theft (literally withholding wages from workers) is way a way larger source of theft than any petty theft or time theft. And that’s the wages capitalists have promised them, not the wages they deserve through the labor theory of value.

There is a spectre haunting the lemmyverse

Most western liberals are primarily focused on social issues because of the media narrative centering those issues as the dividing line. The American two party duopoly does not want people thinking about actual economic policies to help the working class, it would make the masses realize they are much more alike than either sides ruling class

Some habits I noticed while talking with older relatives
I feel like lots of liberals I know think a majority of homeless people are drug addled hopeless causes. They don’t hate them, but don’t think they can be helped. Won’t think of rent hikes as the larger cause, or the reality not a huge percent of people between homes are on drugs

We need more of Richard Stallman's ideas, not less
Free software is foundational to our society today. We should be much more aggressively protecting and encouraging it

I need help understanding views on Russia and Ukraine
Reply in thread
That thread is the first I’ve seen that looks at this as a conflict in a larger NATO Russia war, rather than purely Russia Ukraine. Good perspective shift

Trump indictment: Pentagon upset over stolen plans for war against Iran
I’d love to see him rotting in a cell, but my hopes aren’t high for that. Honestly props to him for leaking more information than the pentagon wanted.
Ideally the people actually making the plans for war would also face charges, but zero chance in hell of that happening

Socialist parenting

Yeah. There’s variants of this from capitalist parents who do the first part, then follow up with some shit like “then I take half their allowance for taxes, that’s communism baby!”
