If it's anything serious/competitive and has to have integrity without having trust between enemy players, the server has to run the simulations. Otherwise it would be extremely easy to cheat just by modifying the client code an

Nobody is denying that. That's literally what I said when I said the approval ratings spiked to 92% (which you cut out from the quote). Consent can be manufactured, and the result is that people genuinely consent to the narratives give

I already gave examples of media/politican manufactured narratives in the parent post regarding the Nato discussion.

If you only use React as a library for the VDOM, there's barely anything to learn, though. Even if nobody had heard of it previously, people would get up to speed in no time. That's how I started using it, keep my application as i

You are reading way too much into my comments. All I was saying that it's a common ecofascist talking point to say that the problem is the number of people, and used the link as a source to how wasteful our food production is. Now you

Who suggested forcing all people to become vegan? Also, by the same logic seatbelt laws would be "resorting to fascism" because it's forcing all people to use seatbelts. It's not fascism to have laws.

Seriously? You're comparing eating a diet that consists of less dairy & meat and throwing less food away as waste, to living in a coffin? This is not productive at all.

This is an ecofascist adjacent argument, and is not based on reality. Not much land is needed to feed people, most of it is being used to produce meat and dairy, which is a waste. https://ourworldindata.org/agricultural-land

People asking for democracy are attacking the monarch! People asking for the end of slavery are attacking cotton producers! People asking for a 5 day work week are attacking the factory owner! This argument is thrown around every time

Yeah that's the part I don't understand. Don't the people care whether what they are doing is right or wrong? Don't they have any morals or beliefs on their own? If you decide to do the opposite as you are told, then the

Sure some people have unnecessarily big egos and people who are public figures are already preselected for that. But at least activists are working towards increasing our freedoms, as opposed to the people who have even bigger egos, are add

I was replying to a person who decided to do the opposite because they were told to do something by "whiny activists".

I will never understand people who have a kneejerk reaction against activism. Pretty much all of our freedoms have been fought for by activists. Sure, activists might not be media trained or have a big budget for effective and well research

Limiting freedoms of megacorporations is a good thing.

Depends on where you live. In the US the most obvious mainstream example is republicans upholding white male supremacist laws. Of course they avoid direct language and use dog whistles instead, because saying out loud that you're a whi

Where did I say white males were the problem? I said the system is built upon white male supremacy, but I didn't blame anyone for it. The system is the problem, not people of any specific identity. White male supremacy is an ideology,

I didn't say you were dumb or that you should be ashamed. I'm just saying such "wokeism" doesn't exist. Interesting how you see this as a personal attack. Also I'm not representing any "group". I&#x27

If you think this type of "wokeism" exists in this society in any powerful form, you are delusional. You're upset at a few people making hot takes on the internet, while the worlds powerful institutions are built upon white m

Welcome to HN. And if instead of just a throwaway two-word dig it would be a longer comment with big words and superficially logical-sounding lazy argumentation that has been debunked countless times, it would likely be upvoted.

Nope.

by antris 5y ago
Because capitalism gives mostly money to people who exploit the labour of others. You'll never become rich by working hard or smart. It's only possible through inheritance or extracting value created by others through profit.
