merdaverse@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Just in': Elon Musk officially launches new political party4·8 days agoAt least give it a cool name like The (John) Galt Party or something so it has a better change of splitting the right. I guess the nazi party was already taken?
merdaverse@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous AustraliansEnglish8·10 days agoJust wait 200 years and the West will also admit to all the contemporary genocides. And will make some very touching museum to them, while committing new ones and silencing anyone opposed to it.
merdaverse@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•UK police probe Bob Vylan's festival chants against Israeli military, as US revokes band's visasEnglish6·12 days agoThis kind of reasoning immediately makes me think of MLK’s famous quote:
the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action

Hey, stop that!
merdaverse@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship3·17 days agoThere was an Italian socialist politician called Giacomo Matteotti who got disappeared after he spoke up against the fascist regime. It marks the turning point for the Italian dictatorship. If this century is truly a Disney bad reboot of the previous, we could be seeing some similarities with Mamdani.
I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for. Capitalists will collaborate with politicians to either have him removed or make him woefully inefficient. It will definitely be an uphill battle.

Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what matters is that you're paid.English31·17 days agoFrom my (fortunately) brief experience in software consulting, I can confirm that is an important unwritten rule of the job. It doesn’t matter what exactly you sell to customers, as long as they are willing to buy it and come back. It explains why a lot of software is dogshit.

merdaverse@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus13·20 days agoExactly. There is a rich tradition of Christian socialism and Christian communism. Even the communist group that Marx and Engels joined up with practiced christian communism and utopian socialism before moving away to a more secular and materialist version. The Communist Manifesto marks this turning point well.
Of course, M&E argue that Christianity is a tool used to blunt the edge of revolutionary socialism and keep it back in line where it can’t do any harm. Like the other forms of socialism (including that dreaded one) that are explicitly designed to recuperate the more radical ideas to a place where they can be more comfortably controlled by the ruling class.

Palantir should be dismantled for supporting and enabling fascism
Unfortunately that has never happened. In fact, a lot of big name companies made a fortune exactly due to their collaboration:

merdaverse@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flightEnglish20·24 days agoSuch a remarkable achievement! We should put capitalists on the Starship ASAP so they can enjoy the fruits of “their” labor!

Yeah, some of these online roleplaying leftists really need to question their logic if they’re doing the same job as right wing bots: undermining unity with useless dissent. Shit taken straight from the CIA sabotage manual:
The way these people treat humans… I doubt they care how they treat animals. I’ve seen enough of how the factory farming industry “cares” for animals to not want to see how they do mass cullings.
