everyone who politically disagrees with me is either not human or a “useful idiot”
Hopefully some day we can find the root of this toxic division haunting lemmy 🙏

Sure, it was toxic in other ways, but Lemmy in 2024 is basically 2004 Slashdot - just replace Bush with Trump
Lmao I was there, can confirm
The bickering about software platforms is unchanged and people will jump down your throat for voicing an independent thought.
I remember liberals getting just as mad for naysaying Kerry as they do Biden now.

Frankly the whole trotskyist tradition can be a bit woo-woo-y when it comes to talking about global revolution, at baseline.
At some level it’s also a quasi-doomer meme to be like ‘okay nuke us already so the space comrades can save us’
I don’t buy the flying saucer stuff, it strikes me as at best creative speculation.
re:
And because scientific progress can be achieved through any of these economic systems*, we can’t just assume that extra terrestrials found themselves on our doorstep due to one particular economic model.
- At different rates obviously, but progress nonetheless.
My read on the passage related to this is that there’s always some inherent inefficiency when it comes to scientific production, due some combination of the economic system (and also the need for global collaboration vs national borders/defense concerns). For example if you were viewing technological development on different planets, all other things being equal but one has a fractured global government with hundreds of different defense concerns and intra-class conflicts sapping resources and scientific ability, vs a planet that has progressed beyond that, and is able to direct all resources towards a single purpose. One of those is going to be more effective in material terms. Maybe there’s some benefit to class competition when it comes to over-stepping what is sustainable within a given system, but I would say it’s debatable.
- I would actually point out that we have an extremely pressing example on our current planet where the endless-growth orientation of our economic system is de-terraforming our planet before we have demonstrated any ability to re-terraform it, when you’re looking at things on an interstellar timescale this starts to look like something self-defeating rather than a ticket to rapid development.
I would say that given the large scientific capabilities and organization, and commitment over time needed to meaningfully act on an interstellar scale, any systems which are not at a stable equilibrium will simply not exist long enough to actually have an impact.
My original statement was:
any interstellar species is going to have already necessarily passed far beyond our existing social structures, and would looks like communists to any earthly observer.
The rationale is essentially just that any system stable enough to actually sustain existence at those timescales for that time would necessarily look different, and could not look like a system with constant boom and bust cycles, as eventually the technology gets the the point where the ‘bust’ is a self-annihilation. I guess I’m just not that confident that we’re on a trajectory which would result in us becoming an interstellar civilization without the need for major overhauls to our political economy first, and it makes it hard to envision aliens getting to that point while still also being tied up with internal ethnic strife and economic crises.

I have some thoughts, though I need you wait until I’m off my phone or it’s going to be a rambling mess

I am citing this work, it’s not my original thought.
- Comment on Socialism 2 months ago:
There’s plenty of writing about what will happen when we encounter aliens because any interstellar species is going to have already necessarily passed far beyond our existing social structures, and would looks like communists to any earthly observer.
This even led to some speculating that in the event of nuclear exchange/winter it might serve as a warning to the space comrades (if they exist) that it’s time to intervene.
Anyway read Juan Posadas I guess.

That’s literally what every trot org does, they sing Lenins praises, while continuing to bicker about factional infighting from close to a hundred years ago.
I have family members who were (forcibly) internally resettled in the USSR who hold less of a grudge against Stalin than some American trots I’ve encountered.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
I know my local revolutionnary/communist party, despite being leninist, is fiercely anti-Stalin, for instance. The fixation on defending totalitarianism is frankly bizarre.
You sound like you’re taking about trotskyists, who have been the main ones keeping the old communist scarecrows alive on the left
I remember going to one of my local groups anti-fascism reading years back and it was mostly a bunch of white people rambling about how evil Stalin was.
By comparison the student maoists I’ve known have way more nuanced opinions on Stalin and actually do community and propaganda work rather than selling newspapers

If this is what you think agreeing looks like then I pity the people in your life.

NATO was virtually entirely a mutual defense pact vs Russia in their previous incarnation as the USSR.
This “defense pact” has invaded, bombed and destroyed many countries within my lifetime, it’s jus ta laughable statement.
Living in America it’s incredible to me how people I run into don’t even know the countries that their own government has invaded using its “defense pact”, or pay attention to people whose lives they’ve ruined, and thus can’t even understand why people see them as a threat.

Just quoting you:
How are you disputing the fact that OP is getting downvoted by hexbears right now?
Between 2 and n “hexbears” (understood to mean “humans afflicted with hexbear mind virus using other servers”) are behaving in some coordinated way. You were pretty clearly implying that it’s some conspiracy rather than simply other users disagreeing with you.
I took your assertion to its ridiculous conclusion because it’s a ridiculous thing to be complaining about in the first place, as in not a real problem.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Gaslighting? Disingenuous? You’re the one asserting that anyone down voting must be a hexbear alt, by virtue of the fact that nobody could possibly disagree unless they were already a hexbear user.
It’s just a bit circular and not disprovable anyways. Maybe the admins should just check the logs and ban everyone who’s down voted so you can rest easy. Wouldn’t want to have any authoritarians using lemmy.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Hexbear, famous for having down votes turned on. But yeah, you’re totally surrounded by secret hexbears all down voting you
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Before I get accused of being a hexbear alt, I only added them after I saw that they were in common use due to hexbear posters showing up in my /all. We did actually start mandating pronoun tags for people participating in /c/transgender -despite the fact that some of the admins are resistant at the instance lecel- because it seems to work well in the trans spaces on hexbear for fostering a respectful environment.

I feel like a lot of the wider lemmy users surprised by hexbear users haven’t met very many trans people, because autistic transfems showing up in fly Soviet military surplus is not exactly out of the ordinary at a trans event.
