It’s quite sad. My great-grandfather was in the Motstandsbevegelsen in occupied Norway during the war. I can only imagine what he’d think of today’s world…

Fascists aren’t people. If they refuse to act like humans, they shouldn’t be treated like humans

I thought we’d decided that fascism sucked 80 years ago…

_White Americans, what? Nothing better to do?

Why don’t you kick yourself out? You’re an immigrant too_

Fuckin’ capitalism, eh?

Heh… remember when technology had ethics?

It’s great to see people taking responsibility, but we must all work to be better.

I’m so sick of the US and its bullshit. And I say this as an American myself.

I’m sure it would, but lack of accountability hurts everybody

Honestly…

You’d figure people who go out of their way to buy a nice GPU would understand this.

Honestly. Arch has taught me a lot.

Even as much as I love the Fediverse and tend to lean pretty far left, sometimes this place honestly feels like a Marxist circlejerk.

People not voting is why we’re in the situation we are in right now

Land of the free, eh guys?

This is an incredibly well written response and I apologize in advance if my response comes across as overly cynical or perhaps dismissive.

My main concern with the complete abolition of private property is that unfortunately I don’t have enough trust in most governments to fairly distribute resources. Therefore I think a mixed market economy with a strong social welfare system is the most feasible method. Through this, we can gradually work towards socialist principles without completely alienating a large section of the populace. I don’t think a direct transition would be sustainable in the long term unfortunately.

Have the day you voted for. :D

Honestly I don’t see what’s wrong with a mixed market economy

Socialism is a buzzword that has been used in the US to attack anything remotely progressive that’s happened in the last century.

When Social Security and the New Deal programs were introduced, they were called socialism

When the voting age was lowered to 18, it was called socialism

When the FMLA was passed, it was called socialism.

It’s literally just a word that Republicans who don’t want to support our communities use instead of just flat out admitting that they’re anti human

American Nuremberg when?

I’m not scared of fascists and will not remain silent against them. If that proves fatal, so be it.
