Yeah, good point. I only mentioned Jewish people because that's where I've seen the strong similarities between the propaganda then and now, but I'm sure there's also plenty of examples for the other groups that were tar

I have relevant personal experience here: At a previous job, I didn't have a company phone when I got set up, so when I signed up for a tool we all used, I used my real phone number. Unfortunately it was an American company, and from t

No, the greediest monarch is the most likely to get assassinated, because they take too much from their nobles and everyone else. All the money in the world doesn't help a noble who is so greedy they piss off all their potential allies

Could you explain how this holds for monarchies? The succession of power was mostly based on blood relations and frequently brought along major changes to existing power dynamics. Meanwhile the majority of the population was barred from gai

Even if we assume hierarchy to be part of human nature, that doesn't imply that every system must automatically assign the most power to the greediest humans.

But I'm not saying to "just coordinate", and I'm not denying any part of human nature? It feels like you're reading things into my initial statement that I neither wrote nor see when reading it again.

Your initial comment does literally say that collective action against individual interests has never happened. You might not have meant that, but that is the explicit implication of your bucket example "always get[ting] the same resul

IMO this comment perfectly exemplifies the process that advances society's slide towards fascism: > Just like being far-right was. This is simply not true. Just like so many lies repeated ad nauseam by the right-wing media machine,

It's ridiculous to imply that throughout human history, there has never been any long term collective action against individual interests. There are so many examples of such collective actions (especially on the local level), but even

I'm not sure how you arrive at "Which means those greedy people don’t have power". What is the "which" referring to?
132.
by Timon3 1mo ago
Or: humans do have that capacity, but our system is explicitly set up to give the most power to the greediest among us, and these greedy people in power don't have that capacity.

I've had very good experiences with desktop applications in containers using Distrobox & podman. It handles all the integration into the host system, so video, audio etc. just work. The default configuration is probably too well-in

Today, the working class already have a miniscule influence compared to the rich and powerful. What makes you think the people could vote them out once they have an automatic army...? Why would they care about any kind of vote? Seriously, i

That does not matter at all regarding your initial statement, which is simply wrong. You didn't argue that the environmentalists would have done so, you're spreading the false rumor that environmentalists were responsible for cl

Your claim was: > They had enough power to close down all the nuclear power plants in Germany. But the CDU were the ones who closed down almost all the nuclear power plants in Germany, and as I've shown the CDU are anything but envi

Could you please explain how you arrived at this response? I genuinely cannot imagine what your thought process was unless you're a troll, and I hope that's not the case.

by Timon3 1mo ago
Now please explain: why are you painting environmentalists as responsible for the phaseout, when the vast majority of nuclear plants were shut down under the conservative CDU? And when the Greens were simply following the laws establish

I strongly disagree. If no one is happy with it, why is nobody changing the system? Very often people say they aren't happy with a system, but secretly profit off of it, so they try to keep the system from changing. Maybe you have exam

Unfortunately the thief has introduced legislation that bans any better locks, and they have a magical veto that allows them to strike down any attempts at changing said laws. Should I still not hate the thief?

How many years remain where the population actually still has any way to kick them out? Once military robots are sufficiently advanced, we've lost. We'll be fully at their mercy. Optimistically speaking, that's maybe 5-10 yea

Ah yes, the famously environmentalist CDU. Obviously the center-right conservative party consists 100% of environmentalists, that's why they fight so hard to push back the ICE ban, prop up the oil & gas industry (just look up Katha
