Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "Marx loves you, do you believe in Marx?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Socialist or an Anarchist"? He said, "A Socialist." I said, "Me, too! Democratic Socialist or actual Communist?" He said, "Actual Communist." I said, "Me, too! What school?" He said, "Marxism." I said, "Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism or Reformist Marxism?" He said, "Revolutionary Marxism." I said, "Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism or Revolutionary Marxism-Troskyism?" He said "Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism." I said, "Me, too! Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, or Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Hoxhaism?" He said, "Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism." I said, "Me, too! Regular Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Gonzalo Thought?" He said, "Revolutionary Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Gonzalo Thought."

I said, "Die, liberal!" and pushed him off.

Who do you think pays for the lost inventory?

Syntha ,

What does that have to do with anything?

Syntha ,

It originates mostly from a post on the blog section of the WEF where the author advocates for consuming insects. The WEF blog is also where the "you'll own nothing and be happy" quote and I think even the 15 minute city scare comes from.

Syntha ,

It's definitely accurate to say that they had very little colonial involvement compared to the big powers.

Syntha ,

I wonder how you could back this claim. Any link in mind?

Sure man.

Compare for example the extent and duration of the Swedish and German colonies

Wtf is that even, you have to zoom in to properly see most of it lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_colonial_empire#/media/File:German_colonial.PNG

To the, what I called, big powers of colonization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_colonial_empire#/media/File:DutchEmpire15.png While they're in terms of territory best comparable to Germany, they had their colonial possessions for several hundred years compared to the, not even, 40 years of German control.

For the others, it's not even close:

Always happy to help out!

I'm pretty sure Fincher stopped working on it. It wasn't Netflix' decision

Europe doesn't have the political will to support Ukraine alone long term. If Trump pulls out it will force Ukraine into peace negotiations

Syntha ,

Gender roles don't need to be redefined, they should be overcome.

It's fascinating to me how people blurt statements like this out and then just move on like that settles the issue.

Like we're not living in a gendered world and will continue do so for every single day of our lives.

Even if you think that gender should be abolished as the ultimate goal you have to acknowledge that, in the mean time, boys and young men have to navigate a world that is not blind to gender. And if they are looking for guidance on how to do that and you're just sticking your head in the sand, they will get their answers from people who give them what they're looking for. Even if those answers are terrible.

Senior doctors in South Korea submit resignations, deepening dispute over medical school plan ( apnews.com )

Senior doctors at major hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations en masse Monday in support of medical interns and residents who have been on a strike for five weeks over the government’s push to sharply increase medical school admissions....

Syntha ,

This is a group of well earning people who try to blackmail the government into keeping the supply of doctors artificially low. What a noble bunch!

Syntha ,

Accelerationists are just Socialists who accept reality.

Syntha ,

Hoffentlich nicht. Die Grünen werden bei der nächsten Wahl keinen Blumentopf gewinnen, egal mit wem. Habeck soll lieber nochmal 4 Jahre warten, bis sich die Stimmung etwas beruhigt hat.

Syntha ,

Verstehe nicht was du mir sagen willst? In jedem Fall wird die Union den Kanzler stellen, egal ob mit oder ohne die Grünen. Ich hätte Habeck gerne als Kanzler aber bei der nächste Wahl hat er absolut keine Chance.

Syntha ,

The working population has not decreased for decades at all. It has peaked around 2022, I'm pretty sure.

Syntha ,

Delivery services are completely unprofitable

Syntha ,

Not even close to the scale, speed and price of companies like Uber Eats. These service are unprofitable and by their own admission they will likely remain unprofitable

Syntha ,

That is simply not representative of the actual numbers involved. Delivery times and prices have decreased with the emergence of delivery service, at least in general, your specific area might be an exception.

NATO expansionism meaning "independent countries seeking to join NATO because they fear getting attacked by Russia and Russia being mad about it"

Syntha ,

Was he?

The Trump administration has carried out 176 strikes in Yemen in just two years, compared with 154 there during all eight years of Obama’s tenure, according to a count by The Associated Press and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

Intel was founded by Americans in America and is, to this day, american.

Syntha ,

Your "resistance" consists of kidnapping Filipino crewmen. Truly a bastion against US tyranny

Syntha ,

You must've responded to the wrong comment, I never said anything about defence.

Syntha ,

They're not clear at all lmao. They attack whatever vessel they want and then find a flimsy connection to Israel after the fact.

The Houthis, on the other hand, were very clearly warned. They are free not to attack and kidnap cargo ships, otherwise they are free to get bombed. They have chosen the latter option.

Syntha ,

They have attacked, among other non-Isreali bound vessels, a Gabon-flagged oil tanker on its way to India staffed with Indian men.

Way would you even compare this to Afghanistan, there are no boots on the ground, no one is going to invade Yemen, no one is being "baited" into anything here.

Syntha ,

In comparison to the 30s and 40s when far right extremism was famously an exclusively German phenomenon

Israel is starving Gaza ( www.btselem.org )

Israel forces aid organizations to purchase food from Egypt and prevents them from buying it in Israel, which would allow for a more efficient and rapid transfer of goods. Israel also prohibits the private sector in Gaza from purchasing food, which could significantly increase supply. Although Israel recently allowed trucks in...

Syntha ,

How is your revolution coming along? How many weapons have you stockpiled, how many people trained, how many judges, politicians and other civil servants have you recruited? Or does your plan consist of shitposting on Lemmy until CoMmuNiSM manifests out of thin air?

Syntha ,

Every major country is affected by this. India and China have as much interest in free passage through the Red See as the US or the EU.
