Not saying it wouldn’t, but that’s one of the “fears of communism.” I just heard some MAGA hack using it on CNN or FOX I think trying to attack the DSA and fear monger.
But yes, a socialist government wouldn’t have profit as its core tenant, but people. So, ideally, eminent domain would be a last resort and plans would be made to affect minimal individuals while making sure compensation is more than fair.
In this case with the data center, I’m sure the power lines could be routed around the housing areas. But it would be more costly. Why would a private utility company spend more money when there’s profit to be made?
Good ol neoliberal capitalism and its inherent contradictions. Deliver freedom, but there is freedom of capital and freedom of peoples. And neoliberalism has chosen freedom of capital over freedom of people.

I’ve seen some numbers floating around that about 30% of people support authoritarianism. Some people literally cannor live with ambiguity and fear it. So when there is fear, societal, financial, etc, they flock to those who provide them a simple answer, even if incorrect.
In America’s case, Trump correctly identified those problems while the opposition didn’t address them. And those people can’t live with ambiguity, it sets alarm bells off in their head (might be why they can’t deal with lgbtq individuals even though it doesn’t affect them at all.)

Lost your healthcare? An immigrant or a trans individual took it.

I like this take on it:
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.

Add private property seizure to the list. They’re using eminent domain to take homes to build for AI infrastructure.

Because you’re running around to random posts lying and saying that I’m doxxing. And I’m doing exactly what I said. Exposing rightoids and bigots to the light. Which isn’t doxxing which you still can’t define. Don’t like it when someone plays your game?

@XLE@piefed.social appears to be a fervent believer in AdmiralPatrick. Or an alt apparently. Get ready, he’s gonna say I’m doxxing him, oooohhhh

You really don’t understand satire do you? My goodness, such a tiny, fragile snowflake you are.
I said cheese pizza as a reference to pizzagate as a codeword since you’re trying to say I used codewords you friggin moron.
But AGAIN you have ignored what I said and found no evidence of hatred yet continue to claim there is.

Be careful, the dude above seems to be a shill of some sort for kernel level anti-cheat or potentially a large corporation.

Appears to be an alt, a friend, or just a crazy right winger who can’t deal with free speech
And as you yourself saw:
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Your examples are interesting given their political alignment. And who you’re protecting. Seems like we might’ve found another right winger to expose. Aka, brinf their actions to light. Aka calling you out as so many are including myself.
But again:
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
sigh
All you’ve done is make accusations of bigotry without proof
then turn them into a call to action against a person and their “friends”
I realize english is not everyone’s first language. As such, please take a look at my comment you quoted. I did not include an apostrophe on bigot as I am not assigning ownership to a bigot. I am instead calling people to expose bigots in general and calling these people who call out bigotry friends.
If you can be this flippant and disingenuous in public, I can only imagine what people like you are saying in private DMs.
I don’t have any DMs actually (didn’t know you could on Lemmy actually haha.) Instead, everything is public. Feel free to look through all of my comments and posts. You’ll probably see why I was included in the list. Because I directly confront (aka expose) when someone is being bigoted, racist, or just a capitalist cuck in general.
Case in point, you ignored my comments on your other posts and instead answered here. I asked you to define doxxing and explain how I am clearly and legibly. You attempted one and ignored the other. You, instead, are attempting to equate calling out someone for harassing others (via secretly silencing them simply based on their ideology, race, views, identity, etc) as harassment itself.
I’d like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you’re effectively running cover for the tesseract dev while attacking someone who is saying it is good that the tesseract dev was exposed to what they were doing. And that is why you’re getting downvoted while I am getting upvoted. Not because we’re calling for personal information to be exposed, but we’re calling for their actions to be called out. Creating a secret list to filter people out on a platform to be called out. Just as it was.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 3 days ago:
The main thing I’m aiming for is, I imagine, the same. Sony to reverse course and/or regulations/legislation to be implemented in favor of consumer protections.
They aim to let PlayStation see the numbers in agreement behind the want for physical media. That’s it. Just physical media. Stopping within a time frame, as a group, speaks volumes for that.
I agree with all of that. What I disagree with is the method of affecting change. Sony already sees the reaction and I’m sure its outlasted their initial expectations. Again, a week of people not signing in is a blip on the radar. I say this as someone in the tech industry. And more than just physical discs, which is a big part, I do believe this is about the consumer protections they offer as well, which have been peeled back with day 1 patches, keys on cards and discs rather than files, etc.
I’m entirely unclear on what you’re trying to actually achieve, though. You want to abstain from PlayStation forever, that’s it? I don’t see why you are engaging in discussion about it, if you’re just done, be done.
As I mentioned above, my goal would be to preserve physical media and consumer protections in regards to games. To accomplish this you need to appear as a credible threat to the bottom line, not throwing a temper tantrum that can be calculated and waited out. I, already, am done personally, but this is a public forum. Others who are aligned can see and learn from discussion.
If you have a free week to sit outside some PlayStation headquarters, go do. I would suggest less people have that ability, than the number that have the ability to show, how many in numbers they are, by abstaining for a week.
I’m also not American and I don’t live in America. If you think your way is better, rather than sprout off, go gather numbers and organise.
Less people do have that ability. That is exactly why mentioned that organizers’ time would be better spent organizing mass mobilization instead of multiple intermittent blackouts.
And I already have, not for Sony, but for ICE, Tesla Takedown, and DeFlock. I’m working on helping fight against the privacy invasion and laws we’re facing regarding age verification, digital personal privacy, etc. I’m only one person though. I’m recommending to the organizers of this boycott on more effective strategies to achieve their outcomes and would even further recommend aligning with the SKG movements as they should be aligned in these goals, preserving games and media.

Thanks friend, checked his comments, he’s posted it multiple times. Already reported him.

Hey guy, explain how there’s a public call to dox someone? Legibly and clearly. Define doxxing as well while you’re at it.

I hate to say it, but your argument is just about assimilation to a system and working within it.
Boycotting with a small window, isn’t the whole war, it’s just one shot fired. It gives them an idea of the numbers involved, the amount of people who disagree with their policy, and an idea we won’t just forget and roll over.
Why must we “give them an idea.” Just do what you say in the very next line:
It’s got to effect their bottom line, or they will ignore it.
Don’t announce an ending to it. Your idea of “let’s fire one shot, and another, and another” is an assimilation tactic within the system, not revolutionary and really only succeeds in exhausting those who seek to fight back.
People who entirely abstain are just measured as not in the argument at all. You don’t give them pressure by never owning a PlayStation. You just aren’t a customer. They count customers.
If they have less customers, does that not affect the bottom line? If they have less customers, and less capture of new customers, is that not…less customers? Therefore less potential ad delivery, less potential to purchase on the storefront, all leading to a lower bottom line?
It would even be worthwhile to create a PlayStation account, log in the day before the boycott, and log out for the duration, then log in again the day after the end, so you have a measurable voice in the movement.
Delete your account. By your same logic above, this would be the most devastating to their bottom line. Not only would they lose customer count, but they lose retention. Logging back in shows that they have nothing to worry about. It looks performative rather than a rejection of the systems in place.
If you went to their offices, you would just look clinically unhinged, and they would just involve police, and ignore you.
Sounds like you still fear them and aren’t willing to show true resolve. Why is it “clinically unhinged” to exercise a first amendment right? It’s the first amendment for a reason. Showing up en masse to peacefully protest would do more than “logging out for a week.” That’s just a vacation. That is where time should be spent by organizers, instead.of organizing 23 weeklong boycotts across the next 2 years, organize a protest and help folks get there with a cohesive message and demands. And, arguably, executives should be scared. They use fear against us all the time, fear we’ll lose our purchases, fear we’ll lose our jobs, our healthcare. The point of a protest, the point of a boycott, is to remind them who holds the power.

Dude, why would you do that? I’ve received countless death threats since you posted that comment calling it a huge leap of logic. Why are you having people target and harass me?
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 4 days ago:
💯
It’s assimilation to a system rather than a rejection to change it.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 4 days ago:
Why 1 week? Just do it indefinitely.
If you have to be digital anyway, move to the platform that respects you. Or at least the one where you have more control. And where there are indie titles out the wazoo. And you don’t have to pay an additional subscription just to play with your friends.

Didn’t know this needed explaining but creating a list and adding trans users, users that support trans rights, and instances that support trans rights…is bigoted.
Modern conservatism, right wing ideology, bigotry, racism, low intelligence, they all tend to correlate with each other. And that’s why there’s always a conspiracy that the left wing is out to get them.

I believe this is what is called a self-correcting system. It’s the immunr system. A cancer was attempting to prevent resources from reaching their intended cells and the immune system kicked in and exposed the cancer to the best disinfectant. Sunlight.
Expose all the bigots friends. They’re scared of actual free speech and people’s rights and freedoms because that breaks their ability to oppress and subjugate others.
And oh yeah, I was on the list. Probably for stuff like the above I just said lol.
