  • Is there an instance for Democratic Socialists rather than Communists?

    Jump

  • As someone similar to you, blocking and stuff seems the right approach vs. trying to find a specific instance.

  • What conditions would you require to start general striking?

  • Back all this bullshit up with cited sources or fuck off with this concept that doesn't even pass the smell test.

  • All current popular AI is meant to run on GPU. Why are you going to spend more money to run it on hardware for which it isn't intended?

  • How Nissan and Honda's $60 billion merger talks collapsed.

    Jump

  • Personally think Nissan is better positioned for the EV future and Honda is likely to be the one that needed this more. 🤷‍♂️

  • Chinese EV leader BYD to offer ‘God’s Eye’ self-driving system on all models

  • gonna be wild when that bubble pops

  • Newcomers who joined Lemmy last week, how are you doing?

  • lol, they ban subs based on billionaire tears now? damn.

  • Do you actually personally know any Scientologists?

    Jump

  • Seems ethical to me.

    Religious people don't seem to mind just bothering others for their own benefit.

  • The chilling consequences of going along with Trump

  • fr why are we continuing to share this corpor garbage news?

  • TIL Huey Lewis has lost most of his hearing due to a chronic inner ear disorder.

  • What an awful nightmare for a musician. He and his band knew how to bop. 😥

  • Federal Financial Watchdog Ordered to Cease Activity

  • Always has been. Look around us. We are in this situation because of a failure of everything from education to infrastructure, but most especially our leaders failed to protect us, the citizens, against corporations and the inefficiency of unregulated capitalism.

    Either the people who voted for this figure out they're getting swindled and put a stop to it, or the rest of us will eventually just have to decide if we are mad enough or not.

  • Your argument is that hippies shocked the powerful. I think I get it. I just don't agree.

  • You keep reading things into my comments that make me think either you are having a bad day or you're not worth discussing this with. In either case: thanks, but I'll be stepping out of this now.

  • It is. I will be fighting for them until we get it all back. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: I think the commenter above edited their comment after I replied. What I replied to was a pithy "tell American women and trans people it's a setback" with no real elaboration.

  • If you feel this is "dismantled" then you have a long, difficult road ahead of you.

    These are setbacks, not the end.

    Even after all of these setbacks, one would be foolish to think things are worse for these persecuted groups now than in 1971.

    We absolutely can't give up and let them win with these things they have done, but the fatalism I so often see and hear from people is so disappointing. You don't win wars by talking about how your opponent has already won.

    We are in a battle in a long running war. It hasn't been going well lately, at least not as well as it had been. I just don't think this is all due to hippies in the 60s. 🤷‍♂️

  • Provide evidence, please.

    I agree these things are under attack, but to claim they have been "dismantled" at this point is giving the opposition way too much credit.

    They can try to scale things back, but the Overton has been shifted significantly and people are mad and resisting them shifting it back.

    Now just imagine if we had more cash in our pockets as individual citizens to deal with this fascist bullshit.

  • Religious affiliation is down from the 60s/70s by a lot.

    Tons of liberal wins have happened since: desegregation, affirmative action, womens' liberation, gay marriage, LGBTQ acceptance, etc.

    Conservatives have racked up decades of losses on their preferred issues.

    However, real wages stalled in 71.

    It's only now, after 50 years of that that conservatives find themselves with enough control to maybe slide things back their way a little.

    Time to take the wages back.

  • You are saying hippies disconnected wages from productivity growth?

    You are saying the past 50 years has just been the wealthy trying to destroy hippies?

    I am dubious.

  • ... which would be?

    Because to me it looks like someone asking to use an LLM to parse things that were created to specifically be parsed by machines. Looks like someone who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. I'm open to being educated on what that subtle question you're referring to might be, and how this person is somehow experienced and being nuanced, just drop it on me.
