- Comment on Why is it uncommon for kids commute to & from school in the US on their own? 2 days ago:
The infrastructure for it doesn’t really exist. Kids in Japan don’t have to walk on the highway to get to school.
- Comment on YOU HAVE HURT THE FEE-FEES OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE!1!!! 4 days ago:
You’re a racist.

If a pouch of drink mix calls for 16.9oz of water, I add it to 16oz. More drink per drink!

The secret is to blame yourself for every fight.
Yeah, of course they insulted me. I deserve it.
- Comment on Banana for scale 2 weeks ago:
That’s why duodecimal is superior to decimal.
Instead of converting to metric, we should convert our entire numerical system to be base 12.
- Comment on Why do we need legal genders at all? 2 weeks ago:
For gender segregation.

Immigration doesn’t exist.
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
It’s infuriating because it’s useless. You’re like a fish criticizing other fish for being wet.
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
Yes! That’s what I’m saying! You’re literally doing the same thing, do you not realize that?
Everyone generalizes, there’s nothing particularly insightful or useful about that observation. It’s trite.
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
Do you not see the irony of generalizing Lemmy while trying to flatten all generalizations as being the same?
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
Yes, and I pointed out that sometimes blaming others is correct, and sometimes it isn’t. You can’t just say “everyone likes to blame others” and pretend this is a useful incite.
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
What you said was “you’re all the same as the right because they blame other people”
I’m pointing out how stupid that is, because sometimes, other people are to blame.

My parents didn’t even make it out of their 50s. That’s the reality of class war.
- Comment on My people need me 4 weeks ago:
The right hate the wrong people. That’s it.
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
I’m just observing that authoritarianism is essentially “water is wet” as a political concept. It’s vacuous and useless.
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
Oh no, I’m not an anarchist. I’m a Marxist, I understand the state to be an organ by which one class represses another.
That’s why I’m saying “authoritarianism” is gibberish. There’s no other way to organize complex society.
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
You’re not making sense. If you are you the enemy of the state, why are you pretending that non-authoritarian states exist?
They obviously don’t. A state literally can’t be build on total/absolute consent unless it’s populated by the Borg. There will always be internal opposition that needs to be repressed by authority and coerced into obedience to maintain order. Hence, gibberish.
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
It absolutely is: prisons, police, borders, it’s all authoritarian. The fact that an authority comes from majority rule (restrictions may apply) doesn’t make it less authoritarian. The domination of a majority over a minority is, itself, authoritarian. There can’t be such a thing as a non-authoritarian state, because if there was it would be quickly overthrown by people willing to impose authority.
I’ll at least respect anarchists for being consistent. Anyone who pretends “not me tho I’m different” is a fucking hypocrite.
- Comment on A Fediverse genre of Guy 5 weeks ago:
A liberal that hates leftists? Shocker!
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
The concept of “authoritarianism” is gibberish, that’s why it can be applied to the left and right. All states are authoritarian.
Unless you’re an anarchist, you’re an authoritarian too. You just think your authority is legitimate and fair and righteous.
- Comment on Don't 5 weeks ago:
Not really.
It’s “Don’t tread on ME” after all. Pigs don’t hurt them, they get let of with warnings. They don’t care if other people are tread on.
Also known as fascism.

Here’s an idea: don’t use Saudi flagged and owned ships.

I get these things in boxes of fasteners for the welding press I operate in a factory.
- Comment on On disobeying instructions 1 month ago:
I don’t get it.
Why isn’t everything labeled “do not eat” then? Why just these packets?

Poor white people, they have it so hard.

Is this some fucking thing where there’s 0 holes and the topologists can be all smug about their fun little logic puzzle?

Why do people feel the need to touch each other? Just bow.
- Comment on There are solutions to our problems... 2 months ago:
The religious fanatics really don’t actually matter. It’s just the affluent people.
If affluent people want something and religious people don’t, affluent people still get what they want.
The values of a society are the values of its ruling class etc etc
- Comment on British supermarket Morrisons selling AI birthday cards (£2) 2 months ago:
The uneducated masses still don’t like AI slop. They are fatigued by it.
It still gets bought because a lot of people haven’t learned to identify but if you told them it’s slop they’d probably change their minds. Yeah, they’re not going to spend hours researching birthday cards, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have AI fatigue.
