Yes. I’d highly recommend checking out the 5-4 Podcast episode about Citizen’s United

of course there would, there would be approximately 8 billion people still alive

there would be no power vacuum because there would be no power - all forms of power that might have been siezed in a power struggle would have been dissolved

the result would be a classless, moneyless, stateless society. Each of us would only need to work approximately 10 hours per day or so to ensure that everyone in the world has all of their needs met and a decent standard of living.

the society we currently have is based on slavery, exploitation, murder and theft. i’m not saying that i have a perfect solution, but we need to abolish capitalism at the very least, or fascism will remain inevitable

do you wanna stop fascism? want to see trump and elon musk lose power?

working class solidarity is the first step

our entire lives, we’ve been tricked and manipulated into fighting among ourselves, because they know if we worked together, we would be able to take them down.

why do you think, every time that something bad happens, there’s all the media spin about who we should blame?

they love to do this for age, think about all the boomers vs. gen X vs. gen Z articles and social media posts you’ve seen

but they do the same shit all the time with different things. their aim is to split the working class into as many splinter groups as possible.

we need to stop letting the assholes in power divide us like this.

unfortunately, that means extending solidarity to people who haven’t earned it, including people who chose to vote for Trump.

most of these people were tricked and manipulated. many of them have been fed a steady diet of misinformation. many of them are proud, insufferable bigots.

but being smugly superior, insulting, rude or intolerant isn’t how we change people’s minds. the best way to do that is by having a two-way conversation.

we are all so busy yelling at eachother. it doesn’t work. we need solidarity.

we’re never going to see an end to the risk of fascism until we end capitalism, and it’s as simple as that.

money is power, and if corporations and individuals can hoard wealth infinitely, it’s only a matter of time until enough of that wealth is accumulated in few enough hands for those few to use their wealth to take control of the state

even if people were mega geniuses it wouldn’t matter, money talks, and it talks a lot louder than people

I saw your reply before it got deleted by the moderator. You are every bit as hateful as a Trump voter. It’s people like you who will gladly watch as LGBTQ+ people get systematically rounded up and put in camps.

you’re not powerless, far from it - but you need to exert your power before 2026 and 2028 if you want your vote to matter.

your power comes from your ability to go on strike and sabotage, not from voting

dude i am literally the furthest left it is possible to get.

“yes i made a homophobic joke” is still not the win you think it is.

“hah, checkmate, i also would have been sexist” isn’t the slam dunk defense you seem to think it is

what the fuck are you talking about? i am not even american, let alone a democrat? stop using the dumbest fucking justification for homophobia i have ever heard. stop the bigotry or fuck off back to reddit.

if it’s not homophobia, can you explain why “sucking dick” and “getting railed” are implied to be embarrassing or otherwise “bad” things for a guy to do?

with this much effortless casual homophobia i’m surprised you’re not a trump supporter

chrome can use their dominant market position to kill all other competing browsers, then they can use their monopoly to kill addons and extensions they don’t like, slow down or break webpages which go against their interests, and so on.

google having a near-complete monopoly on the web scares me more than most issues in tech

i wouldn’t be trying to will socialism into existence, though, i’d just be having a little fun :3

i believe all states are evil, to be honest!

some are just actively persuing evil stuff more than others

but given half a chance, capitalists in any country would turn to fascism

ah don’t worry about that, lots of it is online now :3

thank you for the explanation, it was really interesting and in-depth! you should be a teacher!

i would completely dismantle the economy, the police force, the military, prisons, and the government. i would cease the recognition of all countries and borders.

but yes you’re right, i’m willing to use violence to make the world a better place, because i believe that i’m right, and i’m not scared of sacrificing all that i have and all that i am to achieve that.

i wouldn’t be able to peacefully retire, of course, i would need to be brought to justice for my crimes, but i would gladly accept the punishment, because it’s the right thing to do, and i know i would reduce the suffering of billions.

i’m not an old man and i’d love to nap every day

oh wow, i didn’t realize that, i thought it was infinitely reusable just by melting and re-forming it. thank you really much for the explanation.

what you wrote reminded me of silly putty, it’s really stretchy and elastic to start with, but if you play with it for a while, it starts to be less elastic and breaks apart.

does metal also break down? i’m thinking about like aluminium cans that are used for soda and stuff like that
