  • In the UK, the only warning system we have is receiving a text message. And even that is a hit or miss because only half of the people I know actually received one when the govt was testing the system a couple years ago.

  • Firstly, how do you consider China to be a fascist nation?

    Secondly, When since 1990 did "tankies" uncritically support Russia?

    Thirdly, assuming you manage to establish even a remotely socialist government, how would you go about ensuring its survival against embargoes, espionage, invasion, counterrevolution, etc without ending up like Allende or Lumumba?

    Fourthly, what the hell even is that graphic? Assuming you're supposed to overlay the political compass on top (which is a poorly designed and arbitrary graph that doesn't have room for nuance anyway), What right wing economic arguments do you think we promote? Because I'm pretty sure the abolition of private property isn't something Friedman, let alone Hitler, particularly agreed with.

  • Fuck right off with this infighting and division bullshit you're pushing. What does this serve to achieve other than divide the left and prevent it from organising and taking action?

    The only reason "tankies" are "authoritarian" (two words that have lost any meaning at this point), is because after seeing repeated examples throughout history where liberal socialist movements have fallen and collapsed to capitalist backed fascist militias and infiltration, they are willing to do what it takes to ensure the socialist state lasts long enough against counterrevolution to begin building the foundations for a truly free socialist society.

    Even if that means a few dead monarchs, billionaires, and fascists along the way, then I have no objection against those whom you call "tankies".

  • Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it'll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.

  • I do like Organic maps, but it doesn't have live bus timings and multi-bus route calculation like google does, so I still occasionally have to use that instead.

    Fortunately I'm on GOS, and can atleast restrict gmaps from seeing my GPS location, but they're still able to guess where I am and where im going and build data points to sell or hand over to cops based on which bus routes I look at.

  • Although, from an ecological point of view, asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing plants would be a good way of offloading the environmental costs of a post-scarcity society.

    But nothing beats a matter replicator.
