I thought lemmy.ml was federated with hexbear so why do i need to create an account to tell that guy in the comments he’s an absolute fucking moron for saying “unless it’s a last resort this doesn’t sound like a good idea”

Democracy can’t exist under capitalism, capitalism is inherently authoritarian. Sorry, you think all the news, media, housing, industry, and literally every scrap of economic power can be held in individual hands without that affecting the political system? Ive got a fuckin bridge to sell you

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.

I have literally never in my life heard of a country make an ambitious climate goal and then actually achieve it other than china. China is the only country actually investing substantial money into all that renewable energy research while western countries cling to fossil fuel profits (almost like capitalism affords incredibly wealthy oil companies inordinate political and economic authority, huh).

There’s literally a fucking meme of California vs China talking about high speed rail, after like 20 years California had built shit and China’s built over 25000 miles of it. I’m pretty sure here in present year that’s 46000 miles of it.

China is stockpiling resources and building infrastructure to plan for the absolute devastation that is going to be wrought on human society over the next few decades. What the fuck has literally anyone else done? If any country in earth is going to be resilient enough to weather the crop failures and super storms we’re destined for and, god fucking i hope, be in a position to help anyone else (and with an ideological basis that would impel them to without expecting a century of debt bondage in return) it’s going to be China.

China is literally the only hope humanity has to survive climate change at this point and if you’re not aware of that you’re ignorant, sorry

AI code is going to be like computer’s DNA introns where nobody knows what the fuck any of it even does except some of it will actually be critically important code that works for reasons literally nobody can understand without being a goddamn AI archaeologist

i could rewrite whatever they want me to and do it in half a second, that doesn’t mean it’ll fuckin’ work properly

Why exert effort just to be here longer when you didn’t have a reason?

gosh i dunno perhaps dying is fucking terrifying?
