appel, in Everything I don’t like is Socialist

Whenever someone calls something “socialist”, ask them to explain socialism to you and watch their argument fold like a wet blanket. They usually have no idea. In fact, many would love a healthy dose of Northern European socialism in their lives, as long as you call it “Owningthelibism” or something.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Capitalism with social programs is better than without, but that’s not socialism. It’s just not neoliberalism.

What makes countries where the State has high power fail then?

masquenox,

Not socialism.

Concentration of power with those “social services”, making people pay higher taxes many times for unfair reasons. Socialism has all the power on the State with no or little room for individuals themselves to make their businesses and companies, companies that’ll thrive will be friends with the king and create a monopoly in that country. Putting everything in the hands of the State is a recipe of disaster.

China has tons of small and big businesses and it’s still socialist.

That’s literally what the Chinese flag stands for, but these chunderheads would never know it.

“Bu-bu-but they’re a bunch of [insert super racist remarks about Asian ppl]”

PreachHard,

When you say “no room to make business.” That’s where I think the fundamental disagreement is rooted. Socialism is inherently built on the idea that what you are building in a capitalist system is exploiting labour. The people you bring in should have ownership of the company too in a socialist system, not the state. What you’re describing is a communist dictatorship. State programs should be run by the state just as they are in most countries now. You certainly don’t want companies running your government.

masquenox,

Tell me you don’t understand what the word socialism means without telling me you don’t understand what the word socialism means.

bananabattery, in Don't give Elon more money.

Haha, my Tesla is awesome. Drive one.

Echo71Niner, in Don't give Elon more money.

His fans went from worshiping him and buying his cars to now selling their Tesla’s, ditching Twitix, and wanting to narc on Elon lol. Just amazing, how his luck, of his own doing, changed. However, he did get up there right? Where else is he going to go but down. I wonder who is the next person to replace until they get X’ed.

bastion,

Setting them up and burning them down. Someday, it’s your turn.

ddeet, in "Reduce stress" lol ok

true

Wanderer, in Don't give Elon more money.

The Elon hate is super cringe.

Like every other CEO is a great guy. Yea go buy off a car company that has done everything in their power to keep you using fossil fuels and everything possible to sell you the biggest shitties car with the most expensive features. Much better idea.

The things they do now are way more crazy than when I left some years ago. They’re a very dangerous organization. They thoroughly manipulate you. Not to mention that they’re bleeding money from legal problems mostly related to systemic defence and concealment of a whole lot rape, mostly children.

If anyone reading this is considering joining the JWs first look into these allegations. It’s a very real and serious problem.

SomeBoyo,

What made you leave?

cubedsteaks,

its a garbage religion that lets children die by refusing blood transfusions.

Y’all are the real heroes. As the days go by on Lemmy, my subs list keeps getting better. because of users like you.

Fyi, this is level one training. In level three there is a shirtless guy with a shotgun that calls you homophobic derogatory names.

Wage_slave,
@Wage_slave@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s Fred. He is actually a real super nice guy. Wen through training with him. He tried to have the homophobic content changed to just vulgar, but no dice. He’d have to transfer over to level two, and well, they are nice guys, but kinda the short bus crew of the whole operation.

Tell him Dave from naked drunk guy crew four on level six says hello and his advice about the pills really did save my job and marriage.

I remember having one of those as a kid. For a few days, it was the best thing ever, till I got bored with it and never played with it again.

How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.

rab,

I just had a 9 hour flight where both bathrooms were plugged and aisles were completely covered in puke because this kid got so sick, and refused to throw up into a bag. Every time he got sick he ran from his mom and threw up somewhere else on the plane

Left flight with puke on my backpack and shoes. Whole back of the plane was vomiting throughout the flight due to the smell. Nobody could use the bathrooms for the last 3 hours of the flight. Even two of the stewardesses were crying by the end

My noise cancelling headphones were not effective

This gives me all sorts of nostalgia for when I first found reddit. That was like twelve years ago.

And it’s fucking awesome. I really have been enjoying this here Lemmy life around pirates and opossums.
