But it's associated in my experience with uncritical support of the USSR in the Stalinist period.

Since they are full on Zionists and they basically use their community as a brigading attack dog I had a laugh when I saw them blue.

Getting radical, but software is another example of why capitalism sucks and how a socialist system could improve things.

In the domain of software design and distribution, when these things are run by companies that need to compete for market share and profit, then it just creates so much waste with needing everything to. be subscription based and filled with ads etc.

If we didn't have this ultra competitive market system, then people who are passionate about software could be paid to self organise around various projects and design things for long term use value and not enshittification.

I'm reading the Sprawl trilogy along with Shelved By Genre, and Gibson harps on the note that 'the Ultra Rich aren't human', and has some great examples in the books.

I think he was very observant, and Musk makes it so blatant.

Yeah, took me a while to realise generational stereotypes etc. were more inflammatory culture war, as much as it often seems 'in good spirits'.

Entelechy is a new word too ty

I'm Aussie, and Albo is a cunt, but I don't want us to retaliate economically yet.

Like others have said it's a minor impact on our industry so far. I'm more concerned about taxing these mining and resources corporations.
