The real criminals in this world are the billionaires, the CEOs, the bankers, the landlords, bosses, and cops who enforce a capitalistic society on all of us and engineer the destruction of our environment and ensure our continued wage slavery and inevitable annihilation.
Do you really think policy matters when there’s a profit incentive?
Fine. Burn all the passports. Abolish all the borders.
Anyone with an Israeli passport should be deeply ashamed, and they should burn it.
If you ever meet an Israeli, the only thing to do is turn your back on them and walk away.
Same bestie.
I miss the old web before it was just a small bunch of major websites.
Lemmy is good now because it has that old community feel. Hopefully that can be maintained in the future by defederating from corporate and toxic instances.
Exactly. And on major subreddits it would be much higher. Worldnews at the moment just feels like IDF posting pro-genocide content, commenting, upvoting and agreeing with each other.
Reddit goes in the bin. 🚮
You’re right. This kind of technology might be cool if we lived in a egalitarian world where the technology was a benefit for all humans and built thoughtfully.
Instead we live in an increasingly fascist hellworld where this shit is just going to be one of many competing projects by tech overlords who are just going to pollute our world with more garbage.
None of these people could ever be billionaires. Only a sociopathic, narcissistic mind could ever do what it takes to hoard a billion dollars. Capitalism rewards having a lack of empathy for other people.
I’m more afraid of the world billionaires have made for us. I’ll take my chances with the AI.

Going onto a major subreddit like worldnews is just insane.
On the Palestinian genocide it’s just completely full of IDF posting pro-Israeli content. And all the comments are just propagandists agreeing with each other.
After 80 years of being contained by walls, tortured, kidnapped, displaced, and murdered there are undoubtedly going to be groups who resist their own genocide.
There have been different groups over the years that were not Islamist. There have been countless non-violent resistance methods. 18 months of peaceful protest gathering at the wall - and that resulted in 200 Palestinian deaths.
Hamas is the group that Israel funded on purpose, so they’d have an excuse to continue the genocide.
Israel refused negotiations and bomber their own citizens. They gunned them down with Apache helicopters.
Fuck the occupation. Fuck capitalism. Fuck apartheid and settler-colonialism. Fuck Israel. Fuck borders.

Historically the role of the police was to catch escaped slaves, and to violently break strikes when unionised workers were fighting for their rights.
Their foundation was white supremacist violence and violence against the working class in order to keep wage slaves creating profit for the ruling class.
And that function continues today. The role of the police is literally to use violence to protect the private property of the ruling class and serve their interests.
Are you a working class person who defends the people keeping you enslaved? Then yes, you’re a bootlicker.
Also to jump in this thread when OP is talking about queer rights, we have several literal active genocides happening around the world - and the first thing you think of is “what about cops?” is utterly disgusting.
They can literally just get another job. Being a cop is not like your race, gender identity, etc. which you cannot change.
HP are complicit in genocide. Boycott them.
Fascist scum.
It’s like the corners of his lips have been stuck to his chin.
Communism is a moneyless, classless, stateless society.
Neither China nor Cuba are communist.
The only “luxuries” capitalism provides are extreme disparity, environmental destruction, wage slavery, an inefficient and wasteful distribution of resources, and the assured extinction of humanity - but I guess it does provide countless variations of similar sugar water, mobile phones, and branded clothing.
