Well that was my post day paraphrase lol. Glad you found it.

Other side, sure. On the entrance side you might stub your toe.

Sorry it was on NPR in the morning. They had someone saying that it was a perfectly standard sale and were surprised by the decision.

And they are interviewing retired bankruptcy judges that are apparently at a loss right now.

5. We had no chimney and future tech person me saw right through it.

That’s called capitalism

I thought we were using nuclear weapons for that.

Worse: Weather modification, though possible, just doesn’t really work. People gave up on that back in the day.

For a real Marxist revolution to take place, the entire populace has to stand up at once and decide to make this change. This requires humanity to do some pretty broad and general evolution before we, as a race, are nearly ready. Checks and balances won’t fix the fundamental problem that humans are selfish and want more for themselves at the expense of others.

This is what actually got me banned from lemmy.ml. I said that although Communism can be done in a ML way, it has never actually happened because it has never actually be a revolution by the people. In the case of Russia and the places they influenced, it was a group of self-appointed elites that did the actual revolting, and then they imposed a new system on the populace.

You can really ask the same question about capitalist societies. Why is there such oppression? Why is there a group that can do anything and a group that cannot? Regardless of your political system, human behavior is the same and it usually involves insecure ape-like people who want power for power’s sake. Communism, just like every political system ever created, trends towards this sort of behavior.

As someone else said, desperation will cause people to move towards authoritarian thought, be that the extreme right (fascism) or the extreme left (communism).

Seriously. Everyone involved was exhausted and there was nothing else for them to do except rest and recover. If they’d won, they’d still be going at it preparing to enter office while Trump went to Mar a Lago and tweeted.

lol lol that sounded really naive, I’m sorry

Nothing quite as pathetic as going personal in a political discussion.

Alternatively they are on an engineering team and providing their expertise via other means beyond code submission. This entire thing sounds like a sledgehammer trying to do the work of a scalpel.

That’s bad training. Also typical here

FWIW I went off on dude on your behalf lol

They don’t know the people you are conversing with. You’re creating some strange narrative in your own brain and projecting it against the world.

What even is your point here? My reading: “Ooh look how tough you are, see how you feel when you lose your job!”

Yeah you’re all sorts of fun. I do regret encountering you. Going to block to make sure that does not happen again.
