Because of insatiable greed, aka gold sickness aka “profit motive” of capitalism
- Comment on Erasure 1 week ago:
Half the regular people also want it this way
Only 28% of adults voted for this and lots of Trump voters just wanted the cheaper groceries that Trump promised them (he lied).
So please don’t spread the lie that Trump has majority support or any kind of mandate. He doesn’t. Over a 100 million people didn’t bother to vote because they have no faith or hope that voting can improve their lives. They aren’t wrong. At best, electing Democrats is just a stay of execution.

If you someone starts a revolution I’d join the fight. “And just because he’s a worker, no class can free him but his own. The emancipation of the working class is the task of the worker alone.”
- Comment on Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics 2 weeks ago:
Hmm. Well, all I can say is that the US has commited countless atrocities against other nations and even our own citizens. Last I checked, China didn’t infect their ethnic minorities with Syphilis and force the doctors not to treat it under a threat of death, but the US government did that to black Americans.
- Comment on This is getting bad. Like, really really bad. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, my state capital is a 4 hour drive away. Frankfurt to Berlin is a 3 hour train where you can get work done or read a book. You also can’t get fired in Germany for calling out sick to protest.
The US working class has very little power left. No unions, no solidarity, almost no rights, and no one in government that actually fights for us

We are on day 15, and we are running out of time. We have to make change, or our democracy will be gone.
Our “democracy” has been dead since 2008, when Americans gave the liberal wing of the capitalist party a super majority and full control over the government on the promise that they would give us universal healthcare. But instead they came up with endless excuses not to help us.
A representative democracy that does not represent and help the people who elect them ceases to be a democracy.
Also, having a two headed capitalist party is not a fucking democracy. If we cannot vote for communists or socialists that will actually fight for the proletariat then that isn’t a democracy

Sounds like Eurasians can be just as ignorant as USains.

DeepSeek is completely free and open source, why do you want it to fail?
- Comment on Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics 3 weeks ago:
I don’t understand how we have such an obsession with Tiananmen square but no one talks about the Athens Polytech massacre where Greek tanks crushed college students to death. The Chinese tanks stopped for the man in the photo! So we just ignore the atrocities of other capitalist nations and hyperfixate on the failings of any country that tries to move away from capitalism???
- Comment on "Meta and X are going rogue:" European Digital Rights group (EDRi) urges EU to invest in infrastructure "like Mastodon, Peertube and other key pieces of the Fediverse" to secure Europe's independence 4 weeks ago:
The US oligarchs skim off the top of our military spending as well and every year it gets worse and worse. There are so many US soldiers living on food stamps while simultaneously their positions keep getting cut .
- Comment on TikTokers offered $5,000 to join Facebook and Instagram 4 weeks ago:
I deleted my Instagram and I am about to delete my FB account. The oligarchs can go fuck themselves.
- Comment on Walgreens Replaced Fridge Doors With Smart Screens. It’s Now a $200 Million Fiasco. 4 weeks ago:
You can thanks capitalism for poisoning our cities, towns and soil with an extremely dangerous neurotoxin (lead).
- Comment on I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost 1 month ago:
Maybe that is why they make 20 slight variations of every model.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 1 month ago:
Capitalism is a wealth based caste system, but kids aren’t taught that in school so many don’t connect the dots until they are in college.
If we don’t want people to value wealth above everything else maybe we shouldn’t have a system that also prioritizes profits above people, the planet, science and everything else.
- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 1 month ago:
I can’t disagree. We’re currently destroying the planet to sell crap people dont need or want just to make rich assholes extra money they don’t need
- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 1 month ago:
To some degree it is. There is some evidence that plants can experience pain in their own way.
- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 1 month ago:
Also, more human.
If the AI is giving any indication at all that it fears death and will lie to keep from being shutdown, that is concerning to me.
- Comment on USB-C charging is now mandatory in EU, here's what you need to know - GSMArena.com news 1 month ago:
Also, having proportional representative multiparty democracies results in governments that actually try to represent the interests of the public instead of exclusively serving the donor / capitalist class.
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead in San Francisco apartment 2 months ago:
If he truly killed himself, I am guessing he was blacklisted from his profession which is a very common retaliation against whistle blowers.
- Comment on oh man 2 months ago:
Yes! I am a leftist now, but I was raised Christian conservative. I truly believe that if you don’t believe that people can learn and grow then can you truly call yourself a leftist?
- Comment on SAVE THE BEES 2 months ago:
Exposing CEOs doesn’t do anything because the rich have the government in their pocket. Remember the Panama papers? Yeah, that accomplished nothing.
- Comment on MUSSTTTARRRRRRD 2 months ago:
Participation / selection bias. People who have autism or who struggle to fit in socially are more likely to spend more time making content than normal people.
- Comment on Musk and Ramaswamy float ending remote work for federal employees and ‘large-scale firings’ 2 months ago:
I admire your optimism, but I am more skeptical. Capitalist oligarchy has left Russia a pale, pathetic shadow of the super power that it once was, but capitalism is not even remotely close to collapsing in Russia.
- Comment on Musk and Ramaswamy float ending remote work for federal employees and ‘large-scale firings’ 2 months ago:
They’ll just completely gut the environmental regulations and eliminate all fines.
If we want to see what the future will be like for the US, than look no further than Putin’s oligarchy.

Jokes on Elon. Conservatives hate electric cars and now Tesla’s core customer base hates Tesla because of Elon
- Comment on Four Dead In Fire As Tesla Doors Fail To Open After Crash 2 months ago:
Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed
Calling it poorly designed is a massive understatement. The manual release is a wire that is hidden behind a hidden panel. A guy made a video showing how to do it and he struggled to do it despite having practiced a few times in advance. The chance of pulling it off while the car was on fire would be very, very low
- Comment on Four Dead In Fire As Tesla Doors Fail To Open After Crash 2 months ago:
The fact that Elon is going to help Trump gut all of our federal agencies makes me sick to my stomach. Trump winning the election is like a terrible nightmare that I can’t wake up from.
- Comment on Discord admin gets 15 years for “one of the most significant leaks” in US history - Ars Technica 3 months ago:
If I were a narcissist like Trump then I would love to be the President: I could set up all my family and friends with 7 figure jobs, I’d buy a hotel and then force the SS to rent out the entire building at 10x the normal rates, I could spend most of my time golfing, I could chat with my buddy Putin on the phone every day, etc.
Are there shitty parts to the job? Sure, but is it better than being a powerless wage slave to a soulless corporation? Absolutely yes.

Starting wars with allied nations (China) just because they have a semi-socialist economy seems fairly fascist to me.
