Wild animals are never “harmless.”

Deer have killed people. Birds have killed people.

Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company’s infrastructure.

You’ve just described the post-scarcity economy.

I think of the two possible trajectories as the Star Wars universe and the Star Trek universe. Both have fully automated supply chains through droids/replicator technology. However, in Star Wars, only the elite few have access to that technology. Hence, the economy is still centered around trade and, well, as the title would suggest — wars. In Star Trek, that technology is democratized and made available to everyone to create a world in which money has no meaning, and everyone has access to technology and meeting their basic needs.

It all depends on what kind of society we decide to build from here on out.

So in the middle of planning his invasion of Venezuela, he noticed Colombia is right next door?

Milei is a monster, but Maduro is a tyrant who has

• overturned election results
• wiped out the free press
• eliminated the independent courts
• jailed thousands of opponents
• killed/dissapeared 20,000 of his own people
• made refugees of 8 million of his own people

Maybe count me skeptical of an article that characterizes that as “a beacon of national sovereignty and social progress.”

This is potentially really great news. A strong, stable, and diverse Syrian government could have a tremendously positive impact on both the Syrian people and the entire region. Diverse coalitions are more resilient.

Tearing down the wrong Amazon

I found it in the F-Droid app, although it looks like at the moment it’s just in the IzzyOnDroid repo. I’m not up to speed on the ideological differences between the repos, but I know many apps are available on both and IzzyOnDroid is often a little quicker to add apps. It just showed up there this month, so who knows?

Yes, you can use your own image/s if you choose.

I’m not scrolling through the thread to police people. I’m just responding to you as one person to another. I’m certainly not trying to shut you up.

I didn’t call you or anyone else in this thread a tankie, because I actually agree with the premise that Lemmy could benefit from a more collaborative culture. I’m not identifying and harping on which political issues we disagree on here, because there are plenty of other threads on Lemmy for that.

I’m just letting you know that I honestly believe that you and I are on the same side. We agree on 90% of the most important issues in the world right now. I don’t think there is any daylight between us when it comes to Trump or unions or healthcare or LGBTQ+ or protecting online speech or most other things. I don’t consider you an enemy at all, and I hope you think the same about me. We can and should (and have) discuss when we disagree on threads related to topics where we differ.

Neglecting the majority of topics where we support one another does not benefit us, Lemmy, or the world.

No one here brought up the Democratic Party or genocide except you.

This is a post about division on Lemmy.

You actually don’t have to demonstrate that. You can choose to find common ground in the culture of the platform and save the division for matters that are important to you in the communities that discuss them. That’s up to you, friend.

Maduro’s already sacrificed millions who are now refugees and thousands who have been disappeared. Seems like someone whose main agenda is just fair elections and human rights couldn’t be worse than that.

I’m going to go right now into your history and upvote every comment of yours I agree with

Edit: I found a few dozen from recent weeks. We agree on more than you think. Many I’d already upvoted.

noooo deeebiiiian, juuusst caaaandy cruuuush

Probably strategic. Everyone knows that he has been vying for it and was prepared to make an enemy of anyone who won it. She shouldn’t have endorsed Trump, even tacitly, but she headed off a dangerous enemy.

(Case in point)

Dictators gonna dictate

Right wingers will be like, “Well he’s racist but we agree on taxes and the gays so he’s all right with me.”

Left wingers will be like, “We disagree on one of the 100 most important issues to me, therefore you are my enemy!”

Fantastic. Looks like there are a few that people have spun up. Thanks!
