can we go just five minutes without bringing nazis and genocide into every conversation, it’s exhausting.
If you don't like it, do something about it. It's good that it makes you uncomfortable. That's a message from your conscience, maybe you could act on it.
It isn't irrelevant at all, obviously population size is one of the most important variables when it comes to gold medals, another one is availability of winter sports, another is national wealth and investment in sports & athletes.
It's a good thing that Nazi USA didn't top the table. It is a disgrace that Israel was allowed to compete. The IOC is complicit with genocide.
Anarchism is the solution. We have enough resources and land for everyone to have a fantastic quality of life. We just need to stop allowing people to rule over us. Make everyone equal and corruption is no longer possible.
both ruling parties know and love this, which means we’re never turning back that clock
Stop this defeatist attitude. Yes, the Democrats are working for the ruling class. That doesn't mean we're so over, it just means we have to adapt our strategy. "Vote blue no matter who" is a dead strategy. Electoralism itself is at best harm reduction. We need to build a new movement from the ground up for the working class.
I really hope that we can have a revolution and get rid of these cunts.
If we want to see this stop, we need a revolution. We need to build a worker-led anti-imperialist movement.
This is a major issue with capitalism. It is a massively inefficient way to organize society. The people with the most money do not necessarily make good decisions. They usually make selfish decisions.
We can't to wait for them to realize this themselves. We need to demonstrate this by actively creating a society which excludes them.
Or we could collectivize, organize, arm ourselves, seize control of the means of production, and put leaders, politicians, billionaires and corporate executives on trial for their crimes to determine between re-education or execution.
If we're going to dream.
AI businesses are putting profits over sanity and safety.
All businesses are. That's what a business is. A legal entity that seeks to extract as much wealth from people as possible. They put profits before people as a matter of policy.
Limited liability corporations should be outlawed.
I don't think so, really. Professional athletes sometimes have rare mutations which give them an advantage in their sport. More population is always going to yield more potential. Investment is obviously critical too, but investment also scales with population size, so you could say it's a second-order effect somewhat.
