because the class system is built into capitalism.
you can’t have unchecked capitalism without an exploited underclass.
and you said it has nothing to do with the economic system, which is false, hence the downvotes…

- Comment on Discord Shuts Down Servers for Switch Emulators Suyu & Sudachi; Disables Lead Developers Account As Well 5 weeks ago:
Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.
you completely missed the point here:
the issue that those aren’t around NOW, the issue is that they WILL inevitably disappear eventually and every shred of knowledge platformed there will be irretrievably lost to the void.
discord is a black hole for information:
it sucks information in and deletes it from existence.
that’s why it’s bad.
the time frame doesn’t really matter here.

I’ve started a new Minecraft world on the All the Mods 9 modpack together with a buddy of mine!
it’s been a blast so far!
just getting ae2 setup going, beginning to automate all the things, it’s great!
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 4 months ago:
if you’re searching for something general, like, i dunno “dishwasher cleaner” or something, it spits out usable results.
but as soon as a query becomes technical in nature, like troubleshooting IT problems, it’s a straight up nightmare.
the reason it’s so bad at searching for anything very specific is their attempt to “figure out what you really mean”:
and google does that by… ignoring what you typed and changing your search prompt behind the scenes without telling you and without any options to change it.
and putting it in quotes rarely improves searches anymore, only spits out more garbage.
point is: google is basically dead for any specific searches and only really works for searches that amount to “i want to buy thing. show me thing.”
- Comment on I hate how much culture is controled by shitty people 6 months ago:
i think, i found the issue in your exchange:
it’s the way the two of you define “groups”.
the person you replied to defines a “group” as members of a social grouping; they were talking about rich people as a “group”.
you were talking about power being held by an unspecified, arbitrary “group” of no particular social membership; i.e.
to you, a democracy is a power structure that is “controlled” by a “group”.
to the person you replied to, the U.S. government is a power structure controlled by a specific “group”.
when they say “a minority group”, they are talking about rich people being a small percentage of the population, and thus a minority, which is making laws benefiting mostly themselves.
when you talk about “a group holding power over others” you are talking about an abstract, arbitrary, and undefined collection of people.
to you, a coalition of far-right fascists and far-left anarchists forming a joint government would be a single “group”.
to the person you replied to, that would be 2 distinct groups holding a portion of power.
you were talking past each other on different levels of abstraction.
which is why it’s no wonder you accuse each other of being disingenuous… because both of you didn’t engage in the same conversation…
at least that’s the impression i got, maybe i interpreted something wrong too… short text, like a forum comment, really isn’t well suited to philosophical discussions: way too much room for interpretation…
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Sales Breakdown - with PC making up a whopping 68% of units sold 7 months ago:
overall some good points, but this one is simply untrue:
Gaming options: Without resorting to piracy, consoles offer the largest variety of gaming options. More games release on console than they do on PC.
a higher number of games is released on PC by a huge margin.
you also forgot to mention modding, which is either not an option, or very limited on consoles…
