    Kind of some level of any system isn’t it? In short if a system has a means to power that can tweak the rules. Inevitably will result in one group ceasing the rules, turning them to raise how much they can tweak them, and ensuring they continue to be tweaked in their favor.

    Communism relies on a possibly impossible starting point. Theoretically if the starting point were reached, it seems the most sustainable. Whether it’s possible to reach that starting point is the great mystery.


  • I’m thinking, it’s an attempt to be more succesful with nerds like us? I gotta admit I thought it was possibly a real person the first time I saw it, I’m more than desensitized to supermodel looking asian pictures from when I was on dating apps and occasionally reddit. I’m guessing just a non horny, non model, claiming to be studying in STEM is trying to avoid the obvious red flags for people that know supermodels probably aren’t into them.

    It’s possible to assume that the professor did the math.

    But yeah any time machine would also basically have to have space travel built in to compensate.

    They knew that when they wrote Dr Who (IE the time travel machine is called a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space).

    I mean the logic isn’t entirely wrong… though at least familiarize with snippits. I mean I don’t have to read Mein Kamph to say Naziism is evil.

    Of course, there is a huge difference, even in snippits and small amounts of information it’s quite clear that all nazi followers, support racism.

    While modern marxists do not call for violence etc… and specifically is calling for changing of things that, are not physical traits that require bloodshed.

    Somehow I half expect to find out space X through some crazy means accidentally stumbled into time and interdimensional travel. He will bring in another dimensions hitler, argue it’s a good guy… Trump will explain that this one’s ok because in his dimension none of the people he killed were called jews, so he’s ok, Hitler will meet with Nyetnyahu, the 2 will quickly become friends and the republicans will declare opposing alt-hitler as anti-semetic.










  • I don’t think it helps that politics absolutely dominates Lemmy, where Reddit has enough diverse subreddits that you could probably just avoid politics all together.

    I think that’s the problem with all “alternative” social media… both ones that I like and stand behind like lemmy… and the opposite end, the Parlors, MeWe’s, Truth Social etc…

    The point is… mainstream people talking about shows, video games etc… rarely hit any kind of limitations in the public spaces. I myself still go on reddit to see communities of specific shows, games etc… and… it’s fine for that. If I were to try and make the suggestion for a show or movie subreddit to move to lemmy, it would be a tough case.

    The ones who see the flaws and limits of the corporate platform… are the ones either teetering at the edge of socially acceptable, or over it.

    Whether that’s say us lefties that believe All Cops are Bastards, or right wing guys that think america was better in Jim Crow era. Bottom line is… people looking for alternatives, are doing so because the existing platforms are likely to censor them… which means the alternatives will be disproportionately more extreme.
