I’ve read it.

Orwell was socialist my dude.

Ever read one of his other books Down and Out in Paris and London?

It helps explain why he is a socialist.

Don’t fuck with the French.

People forget they were a super power for centuries.

I don’t think portraying the execs as just dumb and the general public as mega brains is accurate…

The execs want to strip out value as profit and take actions to maximise this, they don’t care if it fundamentally tanks the business because as long as they make a profit overall they can just drop the husk that’s left at the end and move onto another business they can bleed dry.

Lemmy really has increased in traffic over the time I’ve been here.

For all intents and purposes it’s the exact same experience as the other place for me.

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

The unwashed masses (like myself) will eventually change Lemmy. I don’t think it will ruin it completely because the best part about having hundreds of millions of lemmings is the niche communities.

The main instances and communities are going to get shot to hell though. I’ve accepted that.

Could you post your social security number, please?

Welcome and please stay on Lemmy. It’s what reddit used to be and only improves every month the more people come here.

“Well are we going to have a serious conversation? Because firstly I need to tell you about the 1647 agreement between the ethnic Russians located in the western Donbas who sent a letter signed gestures off screen to aide here see these letters, completely legitimate. Completely. They say that Ukraine belongs to Russia for ever and ever and they are Nazis because in 1806 the countries border was changed in the Crimean-Polish revolutionary conflict led by the Tsar of Russia.”

I’ve just had premonitions of cars crashing into each other in car parks when the ‘self parking’ mode is hacked…

Hollow Knight

Apparently not that much of an unpopular opinion though reading through the comments.

Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil, Raytheon, Boeing, Rio Tinto, BHP, Nestle.

Nope Apple is the worst.

Sometimes Lemmy has way too much of a bias towards tech for its own good…

Dark wing duck!

People have conscious and unconscious biases.

They are prejudiced and can’t allocate money objectively. This woman is directing the use of this money even though that may not be the best use of the money.

When you look at this on a macro scale, what is the system we have for allocating resources across an entire country? Government.

Is it perfect? No, but it doesn’t change the fact the most efficient and objective means we have is government.

In short, I don’t want a system where a huge racist can accumulate vast wealth and society has the prevailing view that this racist will be altruistic through some mystical force.

That just reenforces the need for betraying class.

People in those western countries have to find solidarity with the worker, whichever country they are in.

Although I don’t think having internet access and living in a capitalist country automatically makes you bourgeoise.

Class traitors are necessary to bring about a state of communism.

This type of behaviour should be encouraged.

Annnnnd now I close this post.

Vacuums there really are only two BIFL brands.

Miele or Sebo.

You know what’s closer to the UK than Australia?

Literally any European country.

In fact you can just drive goods into Britain from Europe or put them on a train instead of shipping/flying it from literally the other side of the world.
