Yeah I thought so, I hoped the quotations would make it less so.
I still think it’s a catchy description though so I’m not changing it yet
Not meaning to be racist, but
Proceeds to say something completely, like pre WW2 level, racist
The potential monetization being the donations to give them a living wage? What exactly is the criticism about, that they shouldn’t get a living wage through donations and should rather make the platform paid or ruin it with ads?
Why do so many people get off on attacking the idea of FOSS, much of the software that is running our everyday lives is supported through FOSS (and lots of them are also being donated to so that the devs can afford to put food on their tables).
There are also many devs (on Lemmy as well) that contribute a lot without being paid, simply because they like the project, want to make it better, and want to learn by doing.
Bouzouki, because I’ll be pretty ashamed of my purchase if I don’t
Nah these weren’t decapitated so it’s fair game
Many people have clarity over what’s going on, the hard part is dodging and outsmarting human trash like Piers while still making use of their platform to spread the truth and counteract their propaganda.
That’s the really hard part and the reason why I respect him immensely for this.
Maybe public opinion will change now that there’s white victims of the genocide too
You are one wrong object touch away from possibly dying
If they haven’t done all this until now, what makes you think they’ll do it then?
The rich will get off unscathed with a blank canvas to work on, and the poor will pay the price, just like with every other market crash.
Is this suddenly a teenager platform whenever you want to infantilize the ones you disagree with?
But, you know, after the economy revives by state simping for the private banks, maybe we’ll discuss it then
I wish there was infrastructure for them where I live, I hate driving and I like cycling
This is like suggesting that emptying a round of an AK on someone that punched you is somehow “walking into a trap”
Does it make sense or is it justified?
There’s quite a difference
If you can blame him for anything, you can say that he couldn’t imagine just how bad late stage capitalism could get.
Though I’m not sure if that takes away from his other arguments or makes them all the more prevalent.
I’m from Greece.
30 years ago people were still living the dream which was all a house of cards called loans. Then the market crisis happened and we got fucked unable to get new ones and pay off the old ones.
After that, we kept getting blackmailed by the Eurozone and the IMF so that we would get the loans we needed to fix our country, but under harsh conditions that basically sustain our poverty instead of fixing it in any way. We signed away the people’s livelihoods so that we could be Europe’s economic lab rat and slave, all to their benefit.
Our current government is as liberal capitalist as it gets, privatizing everything and making life crap for the poor (who are becoming more and more as time passes). Fascism is also on the rise, following the theme of Europe and the US.
The government owns almost all the media and most other parties in the parliament are also aligned with the ruling one. Climate change is beggining to hit hard, every time revealing the cheap infrastructure and postponed plans by contractors.
Instead of hiring more firemen, our government continues to allocate way too much money on cops, riot control, and the media it bribes.
Maybe the EU’s fucking around ends up with a communist revolution, I bet they won’t be too happy about it then.
I’m from Greece, I hope things get better for you
Marx was right and it’s getting obscenely obvious
If you thought any measures taken for Ukraine were because of morals you’re very mistaken
