Democracy isn’t the problem; it’s the money in politics, which is an intended effect of capitalism.

Capitalism is the problem. Capitalism by its very natire is a system of economic distribution where you have an owner class who control a working class via wages, where the working class will never be paid what they are worth due to the profit motive that the owner class has when it comes to the profit of their business. Shareholder capitalism makes this even worse, as the profit year-over-year must ALWAYS go up, as that is how stock price increases. It is to the point where shareholders sue companies not for losing money, but for making less money than they did the year prior, and they win.

Imagine an alternative where you could have democracy in your workplace (worker-owned coops). You would be able to hire and fire your boss with a vote. You will be able to determine the direction of the business, also with a vote. This could be the reality if we just forced all corporations to be worker-owned coops.

This, combined with a hard wealth cap and a UBI, will prevent any one person (or small group of people) from gaining enough power to buy a government, and the addition of democracy in business will also make business interests harder to corrupt as well.

You can sub for basically any cream of blank. Just think of something that goes well with green beans.

Eternity

Infinity was my favorite Reddit app and I saw that Eternity existed, so I switched to it the moment it releasedits first alpha. I see no reason to use anything else unless it breaks and is no longer maintained.

More generally, the founders wrote the constitution as if every leader will act in good faith. That has proven to be a bad idea, but also how do you even account for that? Their idea was a system of checks and balances, but that failed to account for when one party has control over every branch, and for when one branch goes rogue and starts ignoring the other two branches, as we are seeing now with the executive.

IMO, limiting power (money in the case of a capitalistic society) is the only way. The founders had the right idea with the limitation of power, but they didn’t take that idea to the economic side of things. Force all corporations to be worker owned coops and have a hard wealth cap of $50 million by taxing anything over at a rate of 100%.

The system is the problem here, because it incentivizes these kinds of corporations to do these things.

So by the very nature of capitalism, all corporations.

When you have a boss “ruling over” a worker, that is just barely different than living as a serf. The difference here is you can choose your boss, but inherent in the system is that workers don’t earn the full value of their work (surplus value), otherwise it wouldn’t be worth it for the owner class to hire anyone.

Worker-owned cooperatives are pretty cool, though. Would be nice if all corporations were forced to be worker-owned.

Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:

me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();

You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.

It is, but… you know.

Literally everything is a red flag in this post. Stay far away from this person.

I personally think you need to take some time off dating in general (both women and men) to really figure out what you want (not just sexually or romantically, but what you want a relationship to be). Don’t let other people influence that. Dating out of lonliness is a great way to get stuck on the receiving end of an abusive relationship. You need to be comfortable with and love yourself before it is possible to be in a healthy relationship. It is a lot of work to do so, but it is absolutely worth it in the end.

Also unrelated, but make sure you stay far away from drugs. They will make not just this situation, but every situation worse.

After the War on Terror was declared, it essentially meant that the executive branch could essentially go to war with any country if they call them terrorists without former approval from Congress.

Sounds like some kind of addiction, possibly?

I’m not sure, but I’ll think about it while I heat up my dab rig to take some massive fat dabs so I can smoke a joint while loading a bowl.

It’s mainly a mix of economic frusturation and a divide and conquer strategy by the rich in order to have the masses blame immigrants and people of other races/religions/genders/sexual orientations/etc. for all of their problems instead of blaming the elite class and capitalism. The lie of meritocracy being real also plays a big role here (“temporarilly embarrassed billionaires”).

There is another angle, though, and that’s sexual frusturation. When a teenage male has issues getting laid and they look online for some kind of support, they find people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson who tells them that men who “get laid” are “alphas” or whatever and that women should be treated as subhuman or as slaves. These incels have likely never actually attempted to make friends with any women outside of a sexual or romantic context, because if they did, they would learn that women are the same as them, even when it comes to their struggles (even pertaining to dating/sexual frusturations).

I think the latter reason (specifically Gamergate) sparked the fire that made the first truely possible on a scale that we haven’t seen in our lifetimes.

There is also the additional piece of info that the majority of people won’t take action against what is happening in politics until it personally affects them, which is a very unfortunate reality.

Yes. PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe.

Don’t forget everyone’s favorite massgravel script

I’ve been a Linux user for over a decade. Do you just not know that Proton and WINE exist? They work extremely well nowadays. It’s not like it was 10 years ago before DXVK released.

Upstream WINE enabled it by default in version 10, so I can’t imagine Valve wanting to strip that out. Knowing Valve, they probably helped out a decent amount with that support.

The Wayland driver wasn’t considered stable in version 9.

You can right now if you use WINE instead of Proton. Just unset the DISPLAY variable with “DISPLAY=”

Not just that, it’s twice the amount!

FBI OPEN UP

They just have that sticker for show. I doubt a single one of them ever read the constitution.
