  Honestly, more men should wear thick soled shoes on causal dates. Women have so much help to boost their natural attractiveness; we gotta even the playing field.

  Implies intelligence is measure monetarily which, when you put it that way, is obviously wrong.

  That is true, but the United States is particularly bad on this issue. I would trade for the German or French paternity leave and healthcare systems in a heartbeat.

  Yeah the billionaires are working overtime. Probably easy to do when you have more money than some countries.

  Whatever works for Europe, let’s do that.

  Maybe don’t type this into a public platform.

  Democrats will call this a fringe idea even though European countries already do it. The overton window has shifted; we consider far-right policy (like building a wall across the border) but we can’t afford universal healthcare and parental leave.

  From what I can tell it started in the last year. Shit annoys me so much I’ve just stopped posting. My dumb ass shouldn’t have signed up for a lemmy instance with a “.zip” extension anyway…

  They said “communistic” when they likely meant “socialist”. People who haven’t read leftist theory run socialism and communism together. We should educate them on the difference between socialism as a transitionary stage and communism as a classless/moneyless/stateless society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He was no friend to the middle class⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unlike the communistic system where the political leaders use the system to enrich themselves

  Historically untrue of many communist leaders. Ho Chi Minh mended his own clothes. Vladimir Lenin was practically ascetic.

  Obviously both are purely economic ideas that can’t exist in their ideologicsl [sic] state in reality.

  Capitalism is an economic system that produces commodities: goods that are made to be useful but can not be used until they are bought/sold. Under capitalism, the capitalist owns the means with which to produce commodities and so takes the finished products and ultimately the resulting profits as their private property. The capitalist also makes all the decisions on how workers spend their labor time. On the other hand, the workers, the people that labored to create the commodity, are given a fraction of the value they produce in the form of wages. Capitalism exists here and now, any definition of capitalism to the contrary is idealist.

  It’s fair to say that capitalism scales better than communism.

  We have examples of socialist states scaling just fine. Perhaps we could have seen the true potential of socialism (and eventually communism) as an economic model; but countries that reject capitalism faced economic sanctions, diplomatic isolation, assassination attempts, and retaliatory wars (e.g., Cuba, Vietnam, USSR, Chile [Salvador Allende], etc.)

  Private ownership according to your contribution works very well in the realm of society.

  You can keep your house and toothbrush under socialism: this is your personal property. The goal of socialism is to turn the private ownership of the means to produce all the things we want/need into public property that the workers own. This is necessary for us to stop producing goods for private profit and start producing them for direct consumption.

  A good quarter of the states are shit. Another quarter have affordability issues, homeless, and wealth inequality. All are founded on stolen land and built by slavery.

  To be fair, you can just change your shortcuts in the terminal preferences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  common commands like alt+tab, clipboards and their uses, or basic understanding of the difference between an operating system, a system program, and a hierarchical file system… and people still struggle to use the mouse.

  Not to larp on the younger generations, but interacting with computers through touch screens is likely a major culprit here. Why would you know how to navigate file structures, or even open a terminal, when they were given an iPad when they were 5 years old?
