conservatives vote for small government, big business. and by small government they mean gutting social programs, and giving money to billionaires. these social programs were to fix problems with huge expenses over the long run more so then some bleeding heart reasons. they literally save a dime now to have you pay a dollar later. conservatives are so short sighted they can’t see their own d$(&

you haven’t been paying attention.

the point of the meme is to be wrong…

must the cylinder remain unharmed?

i heard the reason the printer wastes your cyan or magenta and refuses to print without it even for black and white prints is that it has to finger print the paper so it can be traced back to you

the think pads still have an

i use the keyboard nipple myself

sure? but i am not arguing for the benefits of the KFC double down with bacon. i already acknowledged that not all vegans are like that, but you are being dishonest if you are claiming my critique of the vegan spaces being dominated by the loudest and most brash of the extremes, is unwarranted. in lemmy it’s usually directed at randoms who wander in from /all. and it’s an all or nothing situation, where vegetarians are branded with the same iron as people who advocate for animal harm. i prefaced with understanding that a community is not just its loudest and obnoxious people, but nonetheless they set the tone

it’s not because they are trying to spread awareness. now obviously not all blah blah blah., but they have a tendency to be highly sanctimonious and abrasive, they accept no partial measures and treat it like like a cult would in the eve of the coolaid tasting party. kind hard to see their point of view in the other end of a carnist label spat at you.

just throw some bartenders friend in there and very lightly scrub it, it’s not the pressure it’s the action, and you will see metal again in no time

Its a failure of government and a failure of culture not a result of the economic system. if the system does not account for its government, or its culture, then the system is wrong, and will fail. you can not expect success from a system that fails when up against human nature, its literal purpose is to interface with humans. that being said, no system lasts forever and should be considered only as useful as the how effective freedoms are and the length of time it can be maintained

Systems are there to solve the human problem, but there is no system that can’t be eventually by people and gamed. so what do you do? you take on the mind set that nothing is everlasting. you stretch out the good times and you nip the bad times in the bud. maximize responsible individual freedoms, minimize group power. and when the system is no longer able to resist being gamed, you tear it down, and start anew. maybe every 5 generations or so

a system that does not account for abuse will fail. but let’s not be so defeatist. society may go in cycles of rise and decline. we just have to stretch the rise and force the reset early enough to mitigate the harm. and while what comes after the next revolution may fail eventually, the good times should be fought for none the less. and be ever vigilant to remind those whom we entrust power that the leviathan sleeps as long as it’s cared for.

Oh! then we agree, unregulated capitalism was very dumb.

these things are linked you know? the failure of one shows the failure of the others

if your instinct is to blame human nature, you are wrong. i mean, not wrong that human nature is flawed, but wrong in that you are effectively arguing there can never be a solution to anything. solving problems requires tackling the human element. and often times means holding people accountable.
